Cat Eating Habits

Some cats are late-night feeders; therefore, they put on a lot of weight with this habit. It is good to put your cat’s food dish away at night, so he can not gorge himself on food in the middle of the night. Your cat should get fitter and trimmed by removing cat food at night.

Some cats are very fussy about their dry cat food. If you try to feed your cat a different brand of cat food than what they are used to, they will stop eating. I always leave their regular brand of cat food out and place the new one in a dish next to their familiar dry cat food. My cats always have cat food that they love and enjoy eating with this method. I will also mix two brands if they like them equally well.

My cats love cat treats and canned cat food. Their favorite canned cat foods are fish, chicken, and turkey, with no by-products or fillers. I place cat treats in a treat dispenser, so my cats get some exercise while they eat their cat treats.

My outdoor cats keep the pigeon population down. They eat the pigeons on the ground by the area where they roost for the night. My outdoor cats will eat the unfortunate bird that crashes into a window before it fully recovers from the window crash incident. Outdoor cats catch rodents and kill them or eat them.

Some cats will try to eat up the other cat’s snacks or treats. I watch my cats, and I try to deter that behavior. I try to feed all my cats the same number of goodies so each one feels they are being treated fairly. Some cats always have to be the first to eat in the morning. My female cats can be fickle about who they want to eat with and who they want to share with. Male cats like to eat up all they want and let the females eat what is left, just like their wild relatives in the jungles. My cats get their fair share of food and fresh water every day.

Some many opportunities or possibilities will come your way in life. Sometimes you will not be ready to take that leap of faith into a new job or opportunity. When opportunity knocks on your door, embrace the chance to move forward and enhance your horizons. If someone tells me I can’t do a particular thing, I am more determined than ever to prove them wrong. I have been open to new possibilities and have,e not been disappointed yet. Not trying to broaden your horizons is the biggest disappointment you will ever make in life. You will never know what you could have achieved or accomplished if you had been open to a new and better improved you.

Job changes or moves can be scary. To have a job that does not excite you or get your creative juices following stagnant s you. I want a job that will test and take me to the next level. We wear many hats in life. We do volunteer work which helps those who need help the most. Parents raise their children with the values and work ethics they have learned. Pastors remind us of our Christian values, how to act as God’s flock, and much more. We can learn a lot from Bible Scriptures and Bible study groups and by studying the Bible on our own. Treat people as you would have them treat you.

Job changes are necessary when your health will no longer allow you to do a particular job. There are many paths you can walk down in life. I enjoy visiting and helping others who are part of God’s flock. Embrace an illness and empower the disease and move forward in life. They are rewarding jobs for us in all life stages if we stay open to possibilities.

My House Cats In The Springtime

No Comments on My House Cats In The Springtime

My house cats start to shed their winter coat. I brush and comb out their hair regularly to eliminate hairballs and snarls in their hair. Some of my cats get a spring or waterless shampoo bath. Some long-haired cats must have matted areas in their fur cut out. I like to take my cats to a vet if they have a matted fur problem since they are professionals at removing matted areas of skin on cats.

My house enjoys eating fresh catnip and watching the various varieties of birds through the picture window. My cats will chatter away at the birds they are watching as if to say you would make a delicious appetizer if I could only get out to catch you. My cats spend much of their day watching and drooling over the birds they can see from the various windows in my house.

My cats are more energetic and playful in the spring than in winter. They love to chase each other up and down the stairs. My cats play more with their catnip stuffed toys and their cat ball and mouse game. My cats now sleep on top of their Meowfia Cat Caves. My cats now occupy my chairs, and their heated beds are abandoned until winter rolls around again.

Springtime is an excellent time to clean cat bedding and sterilize water bowls and food dishes. I scrubbed up their litter boxes and the floor where the litter box sets. I use a floor cleaner that sanitizes and sterilizes as this will prevent fleas from the cat litter. Please do not set your cat on the grass, as they can get fleas this way. Put your cat in a cage on cement or a cat tent on top of a deck. You do not want fleas in your house. Fleas will bite you, and all of your pets will have fleas. Getting rid of a flea infestation will cost much money, and you and your pets will be very uncomfortable.

I hope you and your pets have a happy and healthy spring.

I was provided Scoop Away Complete Scoop Cat litter From Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I placed the Scoop Away dust-free and ten-day odor-free cat litter in a clean litter box for my cats. Cali immediately made a deposit. I left out their old cat litter so they could gradually get used to the new waste. Russ also deposited before I left the house. I like that the Scoop Away cat litter is dust- and odor-free. Removing the used cat litter from the litter box was very easy. My cats used the new cat litter much more than their old cat litter brands. I like that the Scoop Away cat litter comes in a sturdy plastic bag instead of a box. It is much easier to move the plastic bag of cat litter around instead of a package where the handle eventually falls off.

My cats continue to use the Scoop Away Complete Cat Litter regularly. There is no overpowering smell to the cat litter. The cat litter has a lovely pleasant scent with no odor. The size of the cat litter pellets is perfect, and my cats dig it. My cats make many deposits to the litter box containing their new cat litter. The used Scoop Away, Complete cat litter has no smell that I can detect. Russ made a deposit right after I cleaned the used cat litter box. Russ is very meticulous.

My cat’s next door had no issues with the Scoop Away Complete Scoop Cat Litter from Chewy.Com. The consistency of Scoop Away Complete cat litter is just the perfect size for your cats to move around quickly and cover all their business.

Don't Let Anything Break Your Stride In Life

Don’t Let Anything Break Your Stride In Life

No Comments on Don’t Let Anything Break Your Stride In Life

When my Mother was sick, there was a new song on the radio called ” Ain’t Nothin’ going to break my stride I have to keep on movin now ” My Mother said always remember that song. I think of that song often and how important those words in that song are. When we lose a loved one or suffer a horrible illness, we must remember to keep moving now.

Many things will come along in your life that will try to break your stride, but we cannot let that happen to us. We have to rise above adversity by reaching out to other people and setting a positive example for them through us. A stride cannot be broken if we focus on the positives in our life and not the negatives.

Don’t let things slow you down for too long; they will consume you and eat you with negativity. Keep a cheerful heart and soul, and you can achieve much that others will see your positive stride shining through your darkest moments. Think of your illness as a fleeting moment and take time to refine yourself if necessary.

Do not let past events break your stride. Learn from past events and move forward toward more uplifting events. Surround yourself with people who know the flow of your life and can help you enrich your energy flow. Enrich and help others, as this will lift your stride considerably. Be connected to God and allow God’s flock to keep moving now.

Nothing can break our stride for long if we keep on the right path in life. We have to keep on moving on and forward.

Ear Cancer

I had a beautiful Calico cat by the name of Champagne. Champagne was one of my outdoor cats. She was always an amiable and outgoing cat. She would follow me out to my garden. She would roll in the dirt while I planted my garden.

She and my dog Jitters were good friends and would go out hunting together. My goat Zachary would tag along with them. He would eat leftover corn in the field while they hunted for mice.

Champagne had many lovely kittens over the years. As a house cat, I took one of her tuxedo kittens into my house. I named him Sylvester. I had Sylvester for about one year. I let him outside briefly on one warm summer day. A wild animal came along and killed him. I missed him very much. I never let any indoor cats out after that happened.

I started to notice a growth in Champagne’s ear. I treated it with ear drops to no avail. The development kept getting more significant. She began to shake her head. When she would shake her head, blood would fly out of her ear.

I took her to my vet, who diagnosed her with ear cancer. He said she could live for another six months without pain. She seemed to get along reasonably well for at least five months. More and more blood would come out of her ear.

I did not want to see her suffer, so I had her put down. It is hard to watch a dear pet go downhill. She is now in heaven with all my other cats who have passed on. They have all crossed the rainbow pet bridge and entered pet heaven.

I hope none of your cats ever get ear cancer.

Panoramic View Of Life

Do you have a panoramic view of life? Can you see the entire picture of your life and think your life is headed in the right direction?

One event in your life can make a big difference in someone else’s life. Talking to people about their problems and goals in life can lead to discoveries that could significantly impact the world. Think about how your conversations affect other people before you speak. Will your talk motivate someone, or will it suppress them?

If you fail at one thing in life, keep trying, for all of us have a God-given talent that we can share with the world to help and enable others to achieve their goals in life. Teach someone your trade before you pass away; a part of you can live on forever. Hang onto old-fashioned values as they have helped our ancestors greatly. Without values and ethics, a world deteriorates rapidly.

Help people in need. Sometimes people get into situations that are entirely out of their control. A sudden illness can wipe out a family financially. A couple at a rest home had to pay $9000,00 a month for the two of them and ended up with no money after working hard every day.

The panoramic view of life shows the whole picture in great detail. Do not just focus on one thing in an image. Look at every point in the picture, so you do not miss any golden moments. Have you missed out on specific details in your life? Move forward in life, and do not cry over spilled milk. Travel, learn, explore, visit, and enjoy and share what you have learned with others so they, too, may want to travel and explore new horizons. Always reach for the stars and help other people go for the stars, also.

Keep your mind open to the full panoramic view of life and all it has to offer you and others to achieve significant and worthwhile accomplishments that will help you and others into eternity.

No Comments on Purina Pro Plan Seafood Favorites Variety Pack Canned Cat Food From Chewy.Com

I received Purina Pro Plan Seafood Favorites Variety Pack canned cat food from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I first gave my cats next door the Salmon and Rice Entree. Mr. Gray started eating up his portion passionately, and Peter and Hilford soon followed him. Peter came out of hiding when he smelled the Purina Pro Plan Seafood Favorites Variety Pack Salmon and Rice Entree from Chewy.Com. Sherlock was eating away at the Salmon and Rice Entree when Faith nudged him out of her way. Nicole and Russ got in on the action before the Purina Pro Plan Salmon, and Rice Entree was gone. Cali ate her portion away from my other cats. Addi never eats until her grown cat family is done eating.

I gave a can of the Tuna Entree to Maggie and her sister. Maggie was enthralled with her Tuna meal. Maggie’s sister quickly ate her portion, and they licked their lips clean.

My cat next door was delighted with the Tuna Entree. Peter showed up immediately, followed by his sister Nicole. Hilford and Sherlock came running the moment they heard the can open. Mr. Gray showed up shortly, and the related cat family ate away to their heart’s content. Russ and Faith ate some, and they also licked out the cans.

Maggie and her sister ate The Seafood Stew Entree at warp speed ahead. Maggie loved the little pieces of carrots in the stew. Faith, Sherlock, Hilford, Cali, and Mr. Gray, my cat next door, finished the Purina Pro Plan Seafood Stew Entree from Chewy.Com enthusiastically and enthusiastically.

My cats love to eat Purina Pet Foods, and I am glad they are manufactured in the USA. My cats love quality pet foods that are tasty and good for them.

Overconfidence

If you take a test in school and are positive you are going to Ace that test, you will probably not do so. By being so overly confident, you probably did not study long enough for the test. I have found out that I was not satisfied with the difficulty I did well on. A person tends to study longer for a test. You are somewhat nervous about taking it.

If you are in a debate with someone, you better study every question that may be asked of you. If you stumble and keep looking for the right words, you will look foolish in the discussion. Overconfidence in a debate will finish you off quickly. Know your strengths and weaknesses along with your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses. Be well-informed and answer your questions rapidly and intelligently.

Overconfident people tend to be cocky and full of themselves. By being too confident, you are doomed to failure. Be prepared for unexpected events. Keep an emergency kit in your car, have regular checkups with your Doctor, and stay on top of weather conditions. Overconfidence with driving, your health, and the weather could end your life prematurely.

By being overly confident, you could cost someone their life. You may not be qualified just yet because you passed a test saying you are qualified for a particular job; Practice makes perfect, and does not be afraid to ask questions.

Confidence comes with age and experience and by doing the job and not just reading about it in a book. Never get too cocky, or someone m, ay pull out your plumes. Keep your feet firmly on the ground, keep your head on your shoulders, and learn something new daily that will help you with the confidence you genuinely want. Let God be your compass and your guide in life.

Ancient Redwood Forests California Muir Woods National Monument

Muir Woods National Monument California With Ancient Redwood Forests

2 Comments on Muir Woods National Monument California With Ancient Redwood Forests

I was very impressed with Muir Woods National Monument. The trails were nicely marked, and I loved the peace and serenity in the woods and looking at the impressive ancient Redwood trees.

A redwood tree can live up to 2000 years. The tallest redwood tree is 250 ft., and the widest is over 14 ft—most mature redwood trees range from 500 to 800 years old. The park has delicate wildflowers, ferns, bay laurels, and big-leaf maples.

In 1908 Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the area a national monument under the Antiquities Act of 1906. The room was named to honor John Muir, a conversationalist. The Kent family donated their land of uncut stands of redwoods to the federal government in 1905 to ensure its protection.

Spotted owls, bats, deer, raccoons, and birds live in the quiet redwood forest. Snakes, chipmunks, gray squirrels, fish, and salamanders live in the woods.

I love the layout of the hiking and walking trails in the park. The average daytime temperature in the garden is 40 to 70 degrees F. I only needed a lightweight jacket on to keep warm.

Two weddings were taking place in the woods the day I came. The couples had wedding dresses on and tuxedos. The park would be a perfect place for a wedding. It is so peaceful, scenic, and serene in the Muir Woods National Monument.

I was taken aback by the size of the ancient redwood trees. The trees are imposing indeed. The tallest tree in the woods is about 250 ft. tall. You can tell the age of the trees by counting the rings in the tree after you cut it down. The winter wet season gets most of the average total of 40 inches of rain annually. When the creek becomes swollen with too much water, it enables the threatened steelhead and endangered coho salmon to be able to move up the stream and spawn.

Seeing Muir Woods National Monument in California with the ancient redwood forest was the high point of my vacation. I would highly recommend visiting this national treasure in your lifetime.
