Cystitis or Bladder Inflammation and Your Cat

Cystitis or Bladder Inflammation and Your Cat

My Russian Blue cat Catrenia had Cystitis. I had Catrenia for about four years before she got Cystitis. She was not as active as usual. Catrenia started sleeping a lot. I noticed her using the litter box quite often. Every time Catrenia used her litter box, she did not have much urine output. I took her to my vet, and he said she had Cystitis. My vet gave her antibiotics, some medicine, and exceptional cat food that helped with Cystitis.

My vet had told me he would like to have Catrenia if I ever wanted to part with her. My vet told me this about four years ago. I told my vet then I did not want to part with her. I was told by two of my vets that she would get a flare-up of Cystitis for the rest of her life now and then.

I have two other house cats, and buying expensive cat food for Cystitis for all three of my cats to eat was not an option that would work. I knew I would miss Catrenia terribly, but I thought her best option would be to live with my vet, who always wanted to have her. I called my vet and asked him if he would still like Catrenia, and he said he would still love to have her. Catrenia lived in the vet’s office for some time and recovered entirely by eating her exceptional cat food for Cystitis. She could get a flare-up again, but now she lives with a vet that can treat her every need. I visited Catrenia at my vet’s office at least once every two weeks. I could see that she was healthy and very contented living there.

Catrenia now lives in my vet’s house along with one other house cat that my vet has. Catrenia can now get all the care that her condition calls for 24/7.

ZiwiPeak Daily Cat Lamb Cuisine from Chewy.Com

ZiwiPeak Daily Cat Lamb Cuisine from chewy.Com

I was provided ZiwiPeak Daily Cat Lamb Cuisine from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

Russ, Hilford, Mr.Gray, and Lorenzo ate every ZiwiPeak Daily Cat Lamb Cuisine morsel from Chewy.Com. Hilford kept growling at the other cats as he ate his ZiwiPeak Lamb Cuisine. I think Hilford wanted to make sure he got his fair share of his lamb cuisine. Cali ate up her portion of lamb quickly. Bella exited her cat bed immediately after she smelled the ZiwiPeak Daily Cat Lamb Cuisine from Chewy.Com.

I feed some of the lamb cuisines to Maggie. Maggie wasted no time eating all of the ZiwiPeak lambs I gave her. I put some under the corn crib door and noticed that Onyx, my outdoor Tomcat, had eaten it.

My cat’s next door were ready for the more canned lamb the next day. I sat some back of the board where Peter likes to rest. Peter ate up all the ZiwiPeak lamb cuisines I put out for him. Nicole ate some along with Sherlock.

Working Cats

Working Cats

There is a local grain elevator in my area that has several cats. Their cats are working cats. When the Semi trucks are unloaded at the elevator, mice will run out of the grain carts. Their cats are expected to kill the mice for their room and board. Their cats have been excellently keeping the grain and the elevator rodent-free. The cats patrol the elevator 24/7  for mice and rats. When the elevator is closed at night, the cats can get in where their feed is stored and keep it rodent-free. Their cats are provided cat food, which the elevator sells, and freshwater every day. The cats help them, and they help their cats by providing room and board for them.

I have known a man who owned an Implement Co. since I was twelve. A young black Tom cat wandered into his Implement workshop one day. They feed the young black cat, and he seems to like living at the Implement Co., Their black cat is free to come and go as he chooses, but he stays in their workshop most of the time. Combines go into the workshop that has mice hiding in them. When the workers start the combine, all kinds of mice run away from the combine, and their workshop black Tom comes to their rescue. He kills the mice quickly and efficiently. The Implement owner told me no rodents have ever escaped their resident Tomcat. Tom patrols the sales area of their business also. He is a friendly cat and loves to be patted on his head. I ordered some parts on the phone one day. I asked the owner if he still had Tom. He said Tom was doing well and was eighteen years old and not missing a beat—the perfect fit for man and cat.

South Dakota Taste of Sioux Falls

Taste of Sioux Falls, South Dakota

I love Fiero Pizza. I designed my pizza. I choose a white crust with chicken, pineapple, cheese, black olives, white sauce, and mushrooms. Their pizza was the best pizza I have ever eaten in my lifetime. Fiero Pizza was voted No. 1 out of the 626 restaurants in Sioux Falls.

I had a wonderful salmon dinner at the All Day Cafe. My salmon was baked to perfection. I had a salad with a balsamic vinegar dressing. The seasoning on my salmon was just right. I also liked their root beer. It had a light caramel flavor.

20151026_190015

My friends and I ate at Mama’s Ladas. They have Enchiladas and a wine bar. I ate two chicken enchiladas. I loved the sauce on my enchiladas. It was mild with just the right amount of seasoning. Their restaurant has a warm and friendly atmosphere.

20151027_115840

I ate a gourmet burger at Taphouse 41. I ordered a well-done burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms on it. My burger was done just the way I wanted it done. I had some of their french fries. Their fries were not greasy. My friend’s gourmet burgers looked awesome.

20151027_183508

We stopped at Half Baked. They have fancy cupcakes. They also serve coffee. I love the caramel lattes that they had. My friend ate a cupcake that she liked and loved the flavor of.

20151027_130246

I was very impressed with C H Patisserie. We met Chris Hanmer the owner of C H Patisserie. He has been named one of the top 10 Pastry Chefs in America. I loved his salted caramel macaroons. Their flavor of them was out of this world. I have eaten French pastries in France, and his pies are much better. All of Chris Hanmer’s pastries are complete works of art. I had to take some of his works of art home to eat later.

We ate at Phillips Avenue Diner. It was the fifties-looking diner. It had aluminum outside the building and an old soda fountain area. I loved the fifties atmosphere. I ordered a chicken burger with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, s, and sweet potato fries. My food tasted beautiful. My friend’s hamburgers looked genuinely excellent. My friends ordered a milkshake. Their milkshakes were nice and thick.

I would highly recommend any of these great food places to eat while you are in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I had beautiful works of art to dining at these fine food establishments.

Animal Kingdom at Disney World

I went to Animal Kingdom at Disney World with my friend Sara, travelwithsara. I enjoyed seeing all of the various kinds of animals at Animal Kingdom.

20151216_080233

We rode around Animal Kingdom in a Jeep, looking at the different animals. I loved looking at the lions. I especially loved looking at the male lion with his long majestic mane. He was lying next to the female lion. The lions were very contented.

I enjoyed looking at the Hippos with their heads sticking out of the water. I noticed a baby Hippo. It was adorable and was lying close to its Mother.

I was glad they had a pair of Rhinos. The Rhino is a large stately, looking animal with much authority. I never get tired of looking at Rhinos.

20151216_083649

The day we were at Animal Kingdom, all the animals were out and about enjoying the day. The temperature was about 72 degrees when we looked at all the beautiful animals Animal Kingdom offers.

Sara and I walked around Animal Kingdom. We watched the Gorilla playing. A giant razor-back Gorilla entertained us for some time. He was playing with a plastic cooler for food. He would look it over, and then he would throw it, and then he would retrieve it again. He finally tired of us looking at him and hid behind a large tree.

20151216_081852

All of the Animals at Animal Kingdom looked clean and very healthy. I noticed workers feeding the various animals and putting out fresh water for them to drink. All the animals have a nice large area where they can exercise, feed, and walk around freely.

I loved the jeep ride at Animal Kingdom. I felt like I was on an actual Safari ride in Africa. I applaud Disney World for their exceptional job with Animal Kingdom and how they care for their various beautiful animals. I highly recommend seeing Animal Kingdom on your next trip to Disney World.

Farm Cats Versus House Cats

Farm Cats Versus House Cats

Farm cats live outdoors in a barn or another building. My cats live in a facility my Father made for cats to live in. My cats have heated houses to sleep in during the winter months and a heated stainless steel water dish. Many farm cats curl up in straw in a barn in winter to keep warm. Farm cats catch mice, birds, rats, and rabbits for part of their food intake. Farmers feed their cats dry cat food and wet canned cat food. My outdoor cats are good at catching pigeons and killing mice found in the field and the ditches. Some farm cats can be pretty wild if they have not had a lot of contact with humans in their life. Some feral cats that I have adopted have always been fantastic. I take my farm cats to the vet just like I take my house cats to the vet.

20150430_180745

20151007_150416

House cats are always lovely and warm in the winter months. My house cats have lots of toys to play with. My cats sleep with me or on the floor beside my bed. Sometimes I find Kohl sleeping in my recliner downstairs in the living room. Conrad likes to sleep in a platform rocker I have in the living room. Garfunkel always sleeps next to me in my bed at night. House cats get spoiled with cat treats and lots of toys to play with. My house cats love to watch birds from the ledge of my picture window. My cat’s next door have heated beds to sleep in in the winter months. They also have heated window sill benches to sleep on. My house cats are very loving and sweet cats.

Three Things That Amazed Me About Disney World

I was surprised by the size of the Theme Parks. The Theme Parks were much larger than I thought they would be. There were many more attractions than I thought, and I thoroughly enjoyed everyone I saw. The detail of every interest was outstanding and very educational. You can learn about plants, insects, fish, and animals. I spent my vacation at Disney World with my friend Sara, of travelwithsara.

I was surprised at how to clean Disney World is. Workers washed down the walkways and the lounge chairs. I could not find any garbage lying around. The plants and shrubs were manicured perfectly. The paint on the buildings looked as if they had just been painted yesterday. The swimming pool areas were clean, and I saw workers putting fresh water in the swimming pools at 6:30 AM. The restaurants and other buildings on the Disney World grounds were spotless. They have ample workers, which is necessary to keep Disney World in great shape.

I was taken aback by the Disney Castle. I was amazed by all of the lights on the castle at night. A court is truly magical, with all the lights on it at night. I loved the fantastic and fantastic color patterns they could put on the castle. The fireworks by the court at night were the best I have ever seen. The fireworks, in conjunction with the lights on the castle, were out of this world.

I would highly recommend going to Disney World with your family. Whether young or old, everyone in your family will have a magical time. You will be amazed by all of the valuable information you can learn by attending every attraction you have time to attend during your stay at Disney World.

Flossie My First Cat

Flossie My First Cat

My Grandfather found Flossie in our field as a tiny kitten. My Father was holding Flossie the first time I saw her. I developed a deep love for cats the moment my eyes first looked into the eyes of a cat. Flossie lived in the barn that we had at that time.

20151210_094411

Flossie would follow me all over the farm. She would sit next to me when I swung in my swing set. She would purr away when I held her and patted her head. She loved to rub against my legs. Flossie kept me company while I waited for the school bus in the morning. She was a constant and loving feline companion. Everywhere that I went on the farm, Flossie was sure to follow.

Flossie was a beautiful gray and white bi-colored cat. She had many kittens over the years. Blacknose was one of Flossie’s first kittens. I would hold Blacknose on my lap while I rode my tricycle. She was a beautiful Calico cat. Sprite was one of Flossie’s kittens. She was a yellow tabby cat with the same loving disposition as her mother.

20151210_094618

Flossie would run up to the house with her extended family when we would feed our cats in the morning. We now had a cat population of ten cats. When I would wait for the school bus in the morning, I had quite a gathering of cats waiting with me. I would pat each of them on the head while I waited patiently for the school bus to arrive. Some of my cats would run up to me when I got off the school bus after school.

Flossie and her family gave me a lot of love and attention, and I gave them love and attention in return. Flossie died out in the field where my Father was working one day. She is buried on my farm. Your first cat and other cats to come will fill your life with love, joy, happiness, peace, and contentment.

Disney’s All – Star Sport’s Resort

I was very impressed with Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. I stayed at the resort with my friend Sara, of travelwithsara. We had two double size beds in our room. Everything in our room was nice and clean. I had a brand new blanket on my bed, and my pillows were suitable for a good night’s sleep.

20151217_084753-1

The shower in our room had excellent water pressure, and the towels were nice and soft. The shampoo that they supplied left my hair nice and shiny. The shower-tub combination was immaculate.

I loved that I did not hear any noise at all at night. I also loved how easy it was to get into our room. I wore a wristband that I held next to the door, and the code in the wristband opened the door immediately. I don’t like hotels that use keys and cards to enter your room. I have had a lot of trouble with card readers not letting me into my hotel room.

20151217_083930-1

There was a lovely swimming pool right outside our door. The pool and chairs and the entire area were utterly spotless. The room was well-lit at night. I also saw a ping pong table used by a man and his son.

20151216_123453-1

I love how the outside of our resort was decorated. The building had giant basketballs and hoops on it. The facility was clean on the outside and inside. Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort is only 1.8 miles from Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I loved looking at the beautiful flowers and flowering bushes on the grounds. The groundkeepers do a fantastic job of keeping everything immaculate on the property. One benefit of staying at the All-Stars Sports Resort was that we could experience Disney’s extended park hours.

20151216_123337-1

I highly recommend staying at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort at Disney World.
