1 Comment on My Cats Broken Leg and His Road to Recovery

Kohl is my oldest house cat. He was born and raised on my farm. At the age of four, he broke his leg.

He broke his leg on a Thursday evening at 8:00 P M. My cat Garfunkel was walking across the floor while Kohl was jumping down from a desk. Kohl did not want to land on Garfunkel, so he landed wrong from his jump to the floor. I heard Kohl screaming in pain. I thought he had stabbed himself. I looked him over and did not notice any bleeding. He ran down to my basement, screaming in pain. I finally caught him in a fishing net with a long handle. I then put him in a cage and called my vet.

I told my vet I thought he may have stabbed himself even though I noticed no blood. I was frantic with worry. I talked to my friends through my car speaker phone about Kohl on my way to my vet. I was driving fast, thinking he might die before I arrived. My vet removed him from his cage and placed him on the floor. When he tried to walk, it was clear he had broken one of his legs. My vet gave him a pain pill, and then he put him under the latter and put a cast on his leg.

Kohl did not put any weight on his broken leg for at least one month. I started moving his leg up and down for him. I would hold him up gently and help him bounce up and down on both of his hind legs. This seemed to help build up the muscle strength in his back legs. With my help, he started using his broken rear leg. He made a full recovery.

I hope none of your cats ever get a broken leg.

Tales of Feral Cats

I had a friend that rescued a cat in the middle of the winter that someone had dumped out. The poor cat was thin and emaciated. The cat was standing on the cold sidewalk. My friend tried to pick up the cat, but she could not remove the cat from the sidewalk. She discovered that the cat’s paws had been frozen down to the sidewalk at night. She hurriedly went to her house for some hot water and very carefully poured the water over the cat’s paws. She could finally pick the cat up and bring him to her home. The cat’s feet were horrible, so she took him to her vet to treat his paws for frostbite. It took her new cat a long time to walk normally again. He was a black cat that she grew to love quickly. In his old age, he developed diabetes and needed the exceptional cat food she provided him. He died in her arms on the way to her vet.

A woman told me that she had rescued a male feral cat. He was skinny and bony. They took him to their vet to be checked over and get his necessary shots. They would buy groceries from the store and set them on their table before they put them away. The bread always seemed to disappear, and at first, they thought maybe they forgot to buy it. The bread would disappear every time they purchased groceries at home. They finally spotted their cat running to their closet with a loaf of bread. Their new cat had been hoarding bread in their closet. They found ten loaves of bread in their closet. Their cat finally stopped collecting bread when he was convinced he would get a regular meal from them every day.

A person does not realize what some poor innocent cats have been put through by cruel and neglectful former owners. When you have an opportunity to rescue a poor feral cat, you will be helping them out tremendously. You will have a wonderful appreciative cat for the rest of your new cat’s life.

How to Treat Your Cats Ear Mites

1 Comment on How to Treat Your Cats Ear Mites

Ear mites can be quite bothersome to your cat. Your cat will be plagued with having to itch and scratch at his ears to try to get some relief. If he keeps scratching at his ears, they will bleed and bother him more.

The ear mites are light – colored, and you need an otoscope to see them. Once large amounts of ear wax and excretions have formed because of the ear mites; you will notice brownish and black patches in your cat’s ears. Ear mites at this stage look like little pieces of black sand.

Ear mites that are not attended to will cause secondary ear infections. Bacteria and fungus can grow in your cat’s ears because of the ear mite infestation.

Outdoor cats are more prone to getting ear mites than indoor cats. Because of ear mites, older or weaker cats can develop a severe condition quickly. If you notice your cat shaking his head, you will know he has a bad case of ear mites.

Dirty ears should always be cleaned out. An infection can generally be healed if it is treated with appropriate ear drops.

Clean out the ear canal with a cotton swab. Ensure you do not place the swab too deeply into the ear canal. It is best to have someone help you hold your cat securely while swabbing out his ears.

If you are unsure how to clean your cat’s ears, take him to your vet. I buy an ear mite solution from my vet or a farm store.

If you notice your cat holding his head to the side, the infection has spread to his inner ear. Take him to your vet ASAP, as you do not want him to lose hearing because of the ear mite infestation.

Ensure an ear mite solution to take care of infestations before they become a significant problem.

I hope your cat never gets ear mites.

No Comments on Cats Have Their Own Staff Their Owners

Cats will only come when you call them if they want to go to you at that particular moment. My cats always come if I have a cat treat or tuna canned in water. I think cats are more intelligent than dogs. Dogs always try to be obedient where whereas cats feel for themselves. If a cat is sound to sleep, you can call them, and they will ignore you and keep sleeping. Our house cat probably dreams of a large mouse they just caught and how delightful it tastes when we try to wake them from their wonderful dream.

Cats are very good at letting us know what they want and when. My friend’s cat rolled an unopened can of tuna off the countertop in her kitchen. She opened the can of tuna for him to eat, and all was well with him and his mistress. Her cat tipped over his heating pad in the middle of the night to let her know it had become unplugged. She plugged his heating pad back in, and all was well.

Cats seem to have a sixth sense of the weather. My friend had a female Siamese cat that would hide under her couch just before the tornado siren went off in her area. Her cat immediately came out from under the sofa just seconds before the all-clear came from her local weather station.

Cats are excellent at getting what they want from us. My male cats will pour on the charm big time if they want me to give them a particular snack or food. My cats Russ and Lorenzo will put their arms around my neck and give me a cat hug after they get their cat treats. We love to please our feline friends; they seem to know it and get exactly what they want from us.

Difficult Cats

Cats and TV, Music, and Computer Apps for Cats

2 Comments on Cats and TV, Music, and Computer Apps for Cats

I have had several house cats that like to watch TV and listen to soft-playing music.

My cat Garfunkel likes to watch TV programs with other animals to watch. He especially likes to watch birds or smaller-sized animals. He has also managed a few soap operas. Garfunkel lays at the bottom of my recliner, completely relaxed, watching his programs on TV. Just the other day, he watched auto racing on TV.

Sugar, a Siamese cat I once had, would bat at birds she saw on the TV screen. She also liked to listen to classical music.

Conrad just started watching TV. He seems to like the cooking programs. He is probably hoping I will buy a big salmon and cook it up for him. He also likes to watch the women actresses on Law and Order.

If you have a cat that is excited or nervous, playing soft music will calm him. I gave my neighbors a new kitten years ago, and they played soft music all day long for him. The music helped him get relaxed in his new surroundings.

You can buy DVDs that are specially made for cats. They are designed to entertain your cat while you are away or doing housework. Some DVDs have fish swimming or birds to watch, etc.

I mainly play classical music for my cats. If you play your radio, make sure it is a station with soft-sounding music. Cats are scared by loud noises.

Many fun computer apps can entertain your cat. They can bat away at insects, birds, etc., that they look at on your I pad. They can entertain themselves with these beautiful apps designed for cats.

I hope you and your cat are happy and healthy.

Dandruff and Your Cat

When any of my cats get dandruff, I often brush their hair and comb it. I generally remove a lot of hair which helps control their dandruff. I will bathe the cat if that cat tolerates having a bath. If my cat has not been cleaned in four months, I will not wash them. It is too dangerous to give an older cat a tub for the first time as you may get clawed up by a cat that does not like a thing to do with water.

It is also good to stimulate the hair follicles on your cat to help control dandruff. I have noticed that the more I comb my cat’s hair, the less dandruff he has. When I show him his comb, my cat Kohl comes to me to be combed out. Kohl’s comb is bright red. I started combing out Kohl’s hair when he was very young.

I gave Kohl a waterless bath yesterday. The dry shampoo smelled like pine needles. I applied the dry shampoo to some Bounty paper towels and rubbed it all over his hair. When I was finished, Kohl’s hair was bright and shiny. I could no longer see any trace of dandruff in his hair. Kohl got combed out and got his waterless shampoo bath for the perfect-looking shiny black hair.

My cat Cali loves to have her hair combed, and so does Russ. I show them their comb and brush, and they are very tolerant of combing or brushing their hair.

Start combing out your cat’s hair at a young age, and they will look forward to having their hair worked on. Your cat will have the best-looking coat of hair that is shiny and dandruff free.

3 Comments on My cats are excellent caregivers while I am sick

Garfunkel lays as close as he can to me and purrs gently in my ear. Garfunkel also licks my face at night. He stays next to me all night and purrs quietly throughout the night. During the day, Garfunkel lays on my lap and looks at me very lovingly. He likes to follow me to my house’s different rooms to ensure I am OK.

Kohl lays on my lap and purrs away in the daytime. He makes sure I am never out of his sight. He leads the way to the bathroom and to the kitchen. Kohl will generally be fed a snack while I am in the kitchen. He will lay on top of a high object to get a bird’s eye view of my coming and leaving the different rooms in my house. Kohl also likes to sleep in my recliner at night or next to the heat register.

Conrad is a timid cat. Conrad finally came out of hiding after two days. Conrad was then very attentive and affectionate to my every need. Conrad would check on me every forty minutes without missing a beat. He would let out a shrill meow to ensure I was still alive; He would finally lie by my feet and fall asleep for the night.

M cats know when I am not feeling well and are very attentive and affectionate. My cats are kind and very loving feline friends.

Maggie, my outdoor cat, saw me through my picture window, and she stared at me for at least three minutes as if to say yes, Mother is home. Cali, Russ, and Bella were delighted to see me. My other cats next door are timid, but they did look me over for a while. Cats are excellent caregivers.

Why My Cats are so Important to me

2 Comments on Why My Cats are so Important to me

My cats greet me with a gentle nudge in the morning. Their purrs are peaceful and relaxing. Every one of my cats has its distinct personality. Some cats are much more outgoing than others. Some cats are timid and take a long time to get used to people.

My cats know if I am not feeling well and curl beside me. My cats purr away and take the worries of this World away. Garfunkel always curls right next to me. Conrad lets me pat him on the head and sits by my feet. Kohl will lie down next to me and then lie by the heat register for the night.

Watching my cats play is very relaxing for my cats and me. They love to play with their lighted ball toy and catnip mice.

When you rescue or save a cat’s life,e you have protected one of God’s beautiful creatures. All the cats I have saved over the years have been delightful.

Cats are not judgmental. Cats will return any favor you do for them ten times over in the love they return to you. Some cats love to have their hair brushed out. All of my cats love to eat tuna canned in water and an occasional cat treat now and then.

I have been around cats since I was in a baby stroller. My cats have followed me all over my farm. They sit on my lap if I read a book outdoors. They waited with me and kept me company while I waited for the school bus in the morning.

I cannot remember life without the love of a dear feline friend. I hope you have a special feline friend in your life.
