Fleas

Fleas

Fleas are tiny and black and can leap from any surface onto you.

Cats are likely to get fleas if kept in an unclean area. Keep pet bedding clean and vacuum regularly. Wash your floors thoroughly because they feed on the dirt and can grow in the cracks between your tile floors.

I was told about a woman that threw her cat litter outside. A housing inspector came to her place and was bitten by fleas. Please dispose of your used cat litter properly.

I adopted a stray kitten that was covered in fleas. We took her home, and I used a flea dip and shampoo on her immediately after bringing her home. I did not want to have fleas all over my house.

I had to clean a house that was full of fleas. They had adopted a stray cat. Whenever taking a stray cat into your home, look him over first for fleas. If you see fleas, clean him up ASAP. When I came home, I carried fleas into my house unknowingly. All of my cats contracted fleas. I had to hire an exterminator. He got rid of all of the fleas after two treatments. The first treatment killed the adult fleas. The second treatment killed the eggs and any other adults that were left. I had to clean all of my bedding and the cat’s bedding. I had to do a complete house cleaning. All my cats had to go to the vet for a flea treatment. I had to go to the doctor as the fleas bit my legs all over. I had to use a special ointment on my legs; I had scars for over a year.

Do not use flea powder or treatments for adult cats on kittens, as it could kill your kitten. I wouldn’t say I like flea collars. A collar can get caught on something and choke your cat to death.

Keep your litter boxes cleaned out regularly to avoid an outbreak of fleas. Do not let your indoor cats outside. Your cat can carry fleas into your home on his hair. Wash your litter boxes with a cleaner and disinfectant that is safe for cats.

If you must go to a home with fleas, wear high boots and wash your clothes ASAP.

I hope you and your cat remain free of fleas.

Burgmeier Dentistry Travel

Burgmeier Dentistry Mason City, Iowa

I have been going to Dr. Burgmeier for many years. They have a friendly office and amiable staff.

The dental hygienists are very friendly and professional. She always cleans my teeth to perfection. She is very gentle when she cleans my teeth. I have never left their office with sore or bleeding gums. They have a variety of flavors you can choose from when you get your teeth polished. I chose a coconut flavor last time. My dental hygienist encouraged me to start using dental floss. My gums are in better shape now.

Dr. Burgmeier always makes sure my teeth are healthy. He continuously checks the inside of my mouth for any sores. He contains my fillings to ensure they are still tight and in good shape.

I never feel that I have to have too many X-rays. They always give the number of X-rays that you need and no more.

I always get the same dental hygienist. I am thrilled always to be able to have her every time. I think it is good to have a hygienist that is familiar with your mouth and teeth. By having the same hygienist every time, you don’t have to explain your old dental history over again to a different hygienist.

I have always been thrilled and satisfied with the friendly and kind staff at Burgmeier Dentistry. They always get me in on time and care for my every dental need.

I would highly recommend Burgmeier Dentistry to all of my family and friends.

Keep smiling and show off your pretty white teeth.

Taking Care of Your Pregnant Cat and Her Nursing Kittens

Taking Care of Your Pregnant Cat and Her Nursing Kittens

Ensure you take your pregnant cat to your vet to ensure she and her kittens are well. Keep your pregnant cat in a safe and warm area.

When I have a pregnant cat, I give her extra vitamins and food supplements in her daily diet. I also started giving her powdered milk mixed with water. I provide the pregnant cat with fancy cat food or tuna canned in water. I want her to be in prime condition before she gives birth to her kittens.

Make up a clean area for her to have her kittens in. A box with old towels or blankets in it works well. Outdoor cats, a place enclosed with fresh hay or straw. You will want the kittens to stay warm and dry after birth to prevent sickness later.

Kittens are born 63 days after their parents mating. Your Mother cat will generally have one to eight kittens in her litter. Once your female cat gets to be sixteen years old, she stops having kittens. Several days before giving birth, your Mother cat will be very restless. She will go to the box where she will have her kittens and rearrange the towels. It generally takes three hours to one full day for her to have all of her kittens. If you notice your cat having trouble giving birth, call your vet ASAP.

After the kittens are born, I still give my Mother cat extra fancy food and powdered milk mixed with water. You want to keep her extra healthy since she is losing nutrients when her kittens nurse her. If she is healthy, her kittens will most likely also be beneficial.

Some of my Mother’s cats have had their breast get raw and bitten by their kittens. I place a small round bandage over the natural breast until it looks healed. Your Mother cat will feel much better by you putting the application on her injured breast.

I hope your cat has a healthy litter of kittens. Remember to give your kittens all of their necessary shots at your vet.

Litter Box Issues

Litter Box Issues

Some cats like spotless litter boxes or will not use them. I clean my litter boxes 2 to 3 times a day.

Cats get used to certain brands of cat litter. They will not use the brand you put out for them if they do not like it. I tried crystal cat litter once, but they did not use it.

I had a Siamese cat that was very meticulous about her cat litter box. She started using my rubber tree plant as a litter box. I gave her two litter boxes, and the problem was solved.

In a multi-cat household, have at least one extra litter box. If you have three cats, have four or more litter boxes. This will avoid the nonuse of the litter box.

kitten in a litter box

Sometimes when you get a new cat, your old cats will entirely use their litter box. This is your cat’s way of letting you know their thoughts about the new cat. Again add an extra litter box and spend more time with your old cats. They are feeling neglected now.

If your cat has a health issue, it may stop using its litter box. Take your cat to the vet and have them checked for worms or a bladder infection.

I used a different scented litter one day. They did not like it at all. Stay with your brand of litter if they want it. If you must switch brands, also have the old one available for their use. This will help them make the transition gradually.

Cats like a litter box that is easy for them to access. They want their litter box where you cannot watch them use it. They like their privacy when they are using their litter box.

I keep my litter boxes in my basement. Keeping litter boxes in the basement will make your main floor smell much better. I have also put a litter box in my bathroom for my older cats.

I buy litter boxes that are large and sturdy. I bought one at a discount store once, and it immediately got holes in the bottom. I like metal litter scoops. All of the plastic spoons I have had a break in a short amount of time. Wash and clean out your litter boxes thoroughly with a pet-safe cleaner—a clean litter box results in a healthier cat and a lovely pleasant, smelling home.

Iowa Root Makeup Travel

Krista told me that all her makeup products contain no chemicals. All of her makeup products are made out of natural minerals. Most of her products are made on-site.

Krista is a very talented woman and very knowledgeable. She developed all of her makeup products herself. She was concerned about the chemicals that most makeup products contain. She wanted to create makeup products that were 100% chemical free.

Makeup products from Root can be applied quite easily. Krista put my makeup on for me. She found the right colors for my complexion very quickly. Makeup from Root has a nice light feeling to it. I can hardly feel the makeup on my face. I wouldn’t say I like heavy-feeling makeup.

Krista applied the different steps of makeup to my face. She also explained how to use all of the other stages.

The root is located in a beautiful building in Waverly, Iowa, on a corner lot. Her building has a nice airy feeling. I love how her store is decorated.

Root makeup is 100% safe around cats. Root makeup contains no harmful chemicals. If your cat accidentally gets into Root makeup, it would be 100% secure.

Spring Has Sprung with Life Eternal Addy has Kittens

Spring has Sprung with Life Eternal Addy has Kittens

When I went to the other house to see all my cats, I noticed Addy had had her kittens. She had five kittens. She had two yellow-colored kittens. There are two gray and white striped kittens. She had one gray tabby kitten. She was a cat that I thought was spayed when I got her. Miracles never cease. Peter, my black and white long-haired cat, is the Father of the five kittens. He was born on my farm.

Addy was purring away as her new family was nursing her. One gray and white striped kitten had entered another heated cat bed. I moved him back with the rest of the family. My cat Russ was sticking his head out of a wild cat bed, watching Addy and her kittens. Cali did not like the attention I was giving Addy and her kittens. She walked by Addy and hissed at her and her kittens. Lorenzo looked at them in total amazement. Bella and Snowflake looked at them as they were walking by.

I have not had a dark yellow or red tabby kitten born on my farm for many years. It proves that those genes get handed down again eventually. I have not had a cream-colored kitten born on my farm for at least fifteen years. The cream-colored gene got passed down again, also. None of the kittens look like their parents. All of the kittens look like Peter’s ancestors. All the kittens are domestic short hair mixed with Siamese, Persian, and Himalayan.

I will eventually give some of Addy’s kittens to good homes. I will wait until they are at least 12 weeks old before I give them away. Her kittens are very healthy and content with their wonderful caring,g first-time Mother. I can tell that Addy dearly loves her new family.

Giveaway How to Give Your Cat a Special Day

How to Give Your Cat a Special Day

Start the day by whispering to your cat and gently patting him on the head. Scratch your cat under his chin.

I will give you a list of items you can buy to show your cat that you genuinely love him.

  • new cat toys
  • a heated cat bed
  • tuna canned in water
  • a can of fancy cat food
  • a new litter box
  • a new cat bed
  • catnip for him to chew on
  • dental treats
  • cat treats

Spend part of your day playing games with your cat. If you have an indoor cat, take him for a ride in your car if he likes to go for rides. I once had a Siamese cat that loved to go for a ride in the car. Massage your cat’s neck and shoulders gently. If your cat likes a gentle belly rub, give him one.

Give your cat a special food treat. My cats think they are on when I give them soma canned water. Give your cat a little catnip; he will roll around on the floor and act like a kitten again.

Let your cat cuddle up with you in bed at night. My cats always love a nice warm spot to keep warm at night.

As your cat ages, he will spend time in a heated bed if you buy one. They get body aches and pains as they age, just as we do.

image

Please keep all of his yearly planned checkups and shots current at your vet. A gift of good health always shows your cat that he is exceptional in your heart.

I hope you and your cat have a unique, extraordinary, memorable day. Close the evening by giving him a special treat and a friendly, gentle pat on his head. God Bless you and your cat with sweet dreams.
