I was provided Feline Greenies Dental Treats Oven Roasted Chicken Flavor from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100% honest and my own.

I first gave my house cats Kohl and Garfunkel the Greenies Dental Treats Oven Roasted Chicken Flavor from Chewy.Com. They could not eat up these fine dental treats fast enough. I gave each cat three charms.

Greenies Dental Treats clean your cat’s teeth along with freshening their breath. The treats only have 1.25 calories per treat. The treats are 100 % nutritionally complete and balanced for adult cats. The crunchy texture of the treats helps reduce tartar buildup.

I gave Kohl, Garfunkel, and Conrad some Greenies Dental Treats. They ate them up quickly. I enjoy sharing with my cats a healthy treat that removes tartar from their teeth. Every time I take my cat to my vet, he tells me that my cat’s teeth are in good condition.

All of my cats love to eat Greenies Dental Treats. Each cat tries to take the other cats’ Dental Treats away from them. Maggie loves her Dental Treats. When I call Maggie up to the house, she comes running when she knows I have some Greenies Dental Treats for her to eat up.

Greenies Dental Treats have a nice and pleasant smell. My cats are always right there when I hand them their Greenies Dental Treats. Kohl loves to try to take the Greenies Dental Treats away from Garfunkel and Conrad. I try to place the treats in front of each cat so that any other cat cannot take the treats away from that particular cat.

I highly recommend Greenies Dental Treats Oven Roasted Flavor from Chewy.Com to all my family and friends. All of my cats devour these fabulous flavored cat dental treats.

A Farm Cats Life in the Late 50's and Early 60's

A Farm Cats Life in the Late 50’s and Early 60’s

1 Comment on A Farm Cats Life in the Late 50’s and Early 60’s

I grew up on a farm with approximately ten cats. Our cats were excellent hunters.

All of our cats lived in a large barn with a hay loft. They would curl up in the hay in the hay loft to keep warm. The pigs and cattle in the barn provided some warmth for the cats. The Mother cats would nest in the hay where they had their kittens. Our largest litter of kittens was eight kittens. A typical farm cat has four to five kittens per litter.

A cat in the late ’50s and early ’60s was feed table scraps. The cats would come running up to the house for their table scraps. Our cats also ate scrambled eggs and warm oatmeal. Our cats were given milk to drink along with fresh water every day.

We had open corn cribs, which rats liked because they liked to eat the corn. We also had an empty feeder where our pigs ate. Our cats would quickly kill a rat when they noticed one. When our cat population grew to ten, we had no more rats on our farm.

I would pat my farm cats on the head every day. Our cats loved to follow me around our farm and keep me company. I would hold my cats on my lap or while I rode my tricycle. My cats were always very close to me when I would play outside as a child. I gave my cats a lot of love and attention.

Several of our farm cats lived to be ten years old. Most of our farm cats lived until at least eight years old. Farm cats get a lot of exercises, catching mice and birds and killing rabbits. Our farm cats would bring a dead mouse to the door every other day. They would see and kill field mice they caught in our field or ditches.

The life of a farm cat on our farm in the late 50s and early 60s was not too bad.

My Five Favorite Attractions at Disney World

3 Comments on My Five Favorite Attractions at Disney World

I went to Disney World with my friend Sara, of travelwithsara. We had a wonderful time looking at and enjoying a lot of the beautiful attractions at Disney World.

I loved watching It’s a Bugs Life in Animal Kingdom at Disney World. The movie was very educational about insects. The graphics and sound effects were expertly done. The insects in the film were lively and funny, and at the same time, you learned the benefits of having insects in our world.

I loved the ride called Soarin, located in Epcot at Disney World. The ride was like you were soaring over what you saw on the screen. I felt like I was on a hang glider, moving over what I saw on the net. I could have ridden on this ride all day long if it had been possible, yet the passage in the car at Test Track in Epcot at Disney World. The ride was fun and fast, yet not too fast. You had the feeling that you were testing out a race car. The color of the car I rode in was red, which suits a race car perfectly.

I found The Land in Epcot at Disney World informative and educational. The Land teaches you about plants and fish farming. Disney World can harvest 20,000 heads of lettuce a year which they serve at their restaurants on their grounds. They had catfish and walleyes that they were raising. They were using hydroponics to water the plants at The Land. The tomato plants were loaded with healthy ripe tomatoes in the water only. The broccoli plants were hanging with their roots down and circulating through a track that sprayed their hearts with water. All of their vegetables looked very healthy and tasty.

The Carousel of Progress in Tomorrowland at The Magic Kingdom in Disney World was one of my favorite attractions. I loved how they talked about the old-time chores with housework and how our appliances have changed over the years. They mentioned that doing the laundry took 25 hours a week in the 1940s. The Carousel of Progress ends with modern times and shows us all the beautiful improvements over the years o make our lives much more accessible and better. The mannequins looked like real people and were excellent narrators.

I would highly recommend these expertly done attractions at Disney World.

1 Comment on Trixie Scratching Post and Combination Hammock Cat Bed

Over the years, I have purchased four Trixie scratching post hammock beds for my cats. The Trixie products are easy to put together. All you have to do is screw two bolts into the cat hammock bed, which is completely assembled.

My cat next door sleep in the hammock part every day. They also use the scratching post constantly. My cats managed to remove the attached ball in about a month. My cats still play with the unattached ball.

Addi loves to sleep in her hammock bed day after day. Russ loves to curl up in the hammock for a long afternoon nap. Hilford loves to scratch away at the scratching post on the Trixie scratching post combination hammock cat bed. Sherlock loves to bask in the comfort of the soft fleece on the hammock cat bed. I have found Cali curled up in a tight little ball sound to sleep in her hammock cat bed. Lorenzo sleeps in the hammock every chance that he can get. Mr. Gray lays in the hammock and plays with the older cat’s tails from his higher vantage point. My cat next door loves scratching away on the rope-covered cardboard post on the Trixie combination hammock cat bed. Most of my cat’s next door have claws, so I love the Trixie scratching post combination hammock cat bed because all of my cat’s with nails love to use it.

Kohl jumped into the Trixie hammock cat bed when I assembled it. He slept in it until I put the Trixie hammock cat bed in the house next door for my other cats. Conrad batted the attached ball around for about ten minutes.

I highly recommend a Trixie scratching post combination hammock cat bed to my feline-loving friends. My cats still love the Trixie products in 2023. I found my Trixie products on the internet.

What to do if Your Cat Sneaks Out of Your House

3 Comments on What to do if Your Cat Sneaks Out of Your House

When My cat sneaks out of my house, I look all over for my cat at first and call to them. Sometimes my cat will show up about three hours later in the day. My cat wants to get familiar with his surroundings and explore the great outdoors.

My cat Catrenia was good at sneaking out of the house occasionally. I called and called her to no avail. I remembered she was familiar with the sound of my riding lawn mower. I got the lawn mower out and ran it next to the cornfield she had run into. I stopped the mower and called her to see if she would come to me yet. The sound of the mower directed her back toward my house, and I was finally able to get her back indoors.

I have set a dish of tuna with water outdoors to attract cats that have escaped out of the door. Sometimes my cat might be gone for about a week, but the smell of the tuna lures them back home. If you have a wild outdoor cat, put the tuna in a catch-and-release cage. My cat was in the cell in the morning, and the tuna was gone. I use this same method for catching cats that are hard to catch when it is time for their yearly shots.

When your cat is missing, call your neighbors and let them know, and put up posters that have a description of your missing cat. You can also place an ad in your local newspaper, social media platforms, and radio stations to inform your local humane society.

I had a female cat that I had for four years take off suddenly. In 8 years, she returned to my farm. I think the chip they put in the cat’s ear is an excellent idea. A vet scanned a chipset in a cat’s ear, and the cat has reunited with her family after fifteen years. She had been living 500 miles from her home. Cats can travel long distances. I hope you can find your cat if he sneaks out one day.

Keep Your Cats Bedding and Litter Boxes Etc. Clean to prevent the Spread of Disease

4 Comments on Keep Your Cats Bedding and Litter Boxes Etc. Clean to prevent the Spread of Disease

Vacuum your cat’s beds or wash them at regular intervals. I have towels that my cats sleep on. I sanitize the towels in my washing machine with lots of detergents and hot water.

I scrub out their litter boxes regularly. I use dishwashing soap, a scrub brush, rubber gloves, and hot water. Take the dirty litter box outdoors and scrap everything you can off of the litter box before you clean it in your basement. I like to hose down the litter box and clean it outdoors before I bring it to my house to complete the cleaning process. After you wash the litter box with detergent and hot water, let it dry out completely before you fill it with fresh kitty litter.

If your kitty throws up a hairball, clean it up immediately. Use a cleaner that is pet safe. I use cleaners that are only pet safe. I like Nature’s Miracle Cleaner. It indeed does work miracles. I wash the wood floor in my house with pine – sol. I finish by putting a hardwood and laminate cleaner that is pet approved on my wooden floor.

I scrub my floors in the house next door with a steam cleaner. The steam cleaner kills all the germs safely and quickly. I also run a dehumidifier in my place in the summer months to eliminate all dampness that can cause mold and mildew, making our cats sick.

I vacuum my carpets every other day. By cleaning every other day, you pick up cat hair, dandruff, and flea eggs lurking in your carpet. You can eliminate a lot of allergens for you and your cat by vacuuming regularly.

Keep all of your cat’s grooming tools and litter box tools clean. I use dishwashing soap on them also with plenty of hot water.

I hope you and your cat stay disease free.

A Tom Cat That I Rescued Difficult Cats

A Tom Cat That I Rescued

A sickly Tom cat came to my house years ago. His ears were frozen off, and he was pretty ill. I treated his frozen ears with antibiotic ointments. I put drops in his ears for ear mites. He had a horrible cough without diarrhea. I had penicillin on hand and gave him a shot in his back thigh. I had asked my vet what dosage was suitable for a cat before I gave him his shot.

He was a beautiful white Tom cat. He did not seem to mind my constant doctoring. Tom started to put weight on gradually. He was skinny when he first arrived on our farm. He stayed in a vacant dog house with straw in it. I kept treating his ears and giving him penicillin shots. Tom started coming out of the dog house and eating with my other farm cats.

Tom would let me pick him up and carry him around the farm. Tom had penicillin shots for a week before he was ultimately better. Toms’s’s fur looked beautiful, his ears healed, and his ear-mite free. He was a handsome-looking Tom cat now. Tom always slept in the dog house at night. I guess he felt safe in the dog house at night.

I could not find Tom one day. I had treated Tom every day for about a week and a half. I looked for Tom for some time but could never find him. One day I went to a friend’s house, and there was Tom. Tom looked happy and contented. I never told my friend that her new cat was Tom, the cat I had nursed back to health.

I figured Tom got tired of my doctoring and decided to move on to a house where they did not pester him daily with shots and other treatments. All I cared about was that Tom was healthy.

Trisha's Story

Trisha’s Story

Trisha was a beautiful tortoiseshell calico cat. Her Mother was a black and white cat by the name of Honey. Honey was part Siamese, Himalayan, and Domestic Short Hair. Trisha’s Father was a black cat born and raised on our farm.

Trisha was an excellent Mother cat. Trisha never lost one of her kittens. She was very protective of all of her kittens. Trisha would look both ways on the road at least three times before crossing safely to the other side. She also taught each one of her kittens this excellent survival skill.

I had a door flap installed on my cat building. Trisha spent a great deal of time teaching every one of her kittens how to enter and leave the cat building through the door flap. She was very patient with her kittens.

Trisha had one kitten that looked just like she did. I named that particular kitten Elite. Elite loved to sleep with my pet goat Zachary. Zachary licked her fur so much that he gave her a Mohawk in June.

Trisha was an excellent huntress. She would bring home rabbits and mice that she had caught. Her kittens were excellent hunters with Tr, isha’s excellent guidance.

Trisha had one kitten when she was fifteen, and I named him Tinker. Tinker was a beautiful cream-colored kitten. Tinker was born in December but thrived with Trisha’s excellent care.

I had a little heater in my cat building to keep Trisha warm in her old age. Trisha would still go out hunting in the field and ditches in her old age and was still very successful. Trisha lived to be eighteen years old. Trisha has lived longer than any of my other outdoor cats. Trisha died on my farm, and she is buried on my farm. Trisha was a truly remarkable and lovely outdoor cat.

Training Your Cat

Consistency is the key to training your cat. When you tell your cat no, it should be in a firm voice.

Do not let your cat jump on your table one day and the next day think oh well, I don’t care. Your cat will get mixed signals quickly. I like to hit my newspaper on the area they should not be on. The newspaper makes a loud noise that they do not like. They will remember hearing that noise again if they do not stay down.

My Grandmother would swat a fly swatter on a table to discourage her cat’s lousy behavior. I would not encourage that method, however. When you want to kill a fly, your cat will wonder what you did wrong.

TI has put perfume on a cotton ball and placed it on my table to stay off the furniture. Ensure your furniture’s color fastness before placing the scented cotton ball on your furniture. Cats do not like the smell of perfume and stay off your table.

Another way of making cats behave is to bang a couple of pots and pans’ lids together. They will not want to hear that noise again.

If my cat makes a mess on the carpet, I show them the area and say no. Do not put your cat’s face in a lot. That is cruel and unnecessary punishment.

Always reward your cat with a healthy cat treat after their excellent behavior. Never give your cat a treat for bad behavior. Your cat will think if I scratch up the couch, I will get a lovely cat treat.

I have tried placing aluminum foil on household items to keep my cats off. Aluminum foil has not proven effective with my cats whatsoever.

Cats are pretty intelligent creatures and catch on quickly. Reward your cat’s good behavior by playing a game with him. Have a stick with feathers on the end that he can bat around and play with. You can toss a ball back and forth with your cat that he will chase after. Always praise and pat and hold your cat when he remembers what you have taught him.

I hope you and your cat live in perfect harmony for many years.

Cat Antics

Cats are experts at hiding in locations where you would never dream of looking for them. Cats can perform balancing acts better than someone on a balance beam can. My cats love to fly through my house and never seem to break anything. Cats are the most coordinated creatures on God’s green earth.

Years ago, my Father went out to feed our Pigs at 5 AM one morning. My Father had bent over to fill a bucket with grain when our cat Skunk decided to jump on his shoulder. My Father jumped, wondering what had landed on his shoulder, to discover that it was only our black cat Skunk.

My house cat Garfunkel loves sleeping on my Grandfather’s clock and refrigerator. He has an excellent viewpoint on top of these high items. I once found Garfunkel sound to sleep on top of my China Hutch. Later in the day, Conrad was sleeping beside him on top of the China Hutch.

I used to have a Pool Table in my basement. My house cat, Sugar, would rest on a cupboard and watch the balls fly across the Pool Table. Sugar took great pleasure in watching those balls fly across my Pool Table. Sugar was a pure-breed Seal Point Siamese cat. My Mother was working on Genealogy one day, which was more than Sugar could bear. Sugar was a very jealous cat. We left to go to town, and when we came back home, Sugar had chewed the corner off of each of my Mother’s papers, plus a brand new road atlas. My Mother was unhappy with Sugar’s antics that day. One day I had been looking high and low for Sugar to discover her later in the Christmas decoration storage box. Sugar shocked my Father when he reached for a towel in our linen closet. He touched Sugar instead of a towel.

My cat Sebastian would balance on top of a window valance and walk back and forth without losing footing. At age two, he became too large to perform these antics. When I first brought him into our house as a young kitten, he gathered up all of the missing toy mice and placed them side by side in a neat, orderly row.

I love the different antics cats can perform with precision and ease. My cats never cease to amaze me.
