Enjoy Nature

Take time to enjoy nature and all of its beauty. Remember, you don’t have to get everything done in one day. Sometimes thinking things over for a while is a beautiful and inspiring way to get things completed more effectively. If you write a complaint letter, do not send it right away. You may write the letter more kindly and gently in a few days as you will have cooled down a little.

Do Not Live In The Past

Life is too short to keep living in the past. If someone said something or did something you did not like, do not let it take over your thoughts and life. The party that said the hurtful things to you wins over you if you do not move along. God knows all of your thoughts and is always there for you. Remember the good and positive days in your life and dwell on those and the many good days that will come along in your life over the years. Remember, the wonderful family gets together. Remember the good beautiful times with your friends who have supported you through thick and thin.

Take Trips

Take trips and look at God’s beautiful creations. Look at mountains, animals, flowers, scenery, architecture, etc. Enjoy the rich history of each place that you travel to. God has made a lovely place for us on Earth to live. Respect our planet and keep it clean for future generations to come.

Broaden Your Horizons

Do not get bogged down with things that are not important in life. Get involved in something that will broaden your horizons. Spend time strengthening your connection with God, family, and friends. Spend your days doing things that will make positive changes in your life and the lives of others. Be dedicated and trustworthy to who you are and what you stand for. Do not let anyone sway you off the correct path to take. Be faithful to God and others in your life.

Warm Cat Shelter

Provide a warm shelter for your cats for protection from the cold, wet, and frigid weather. A building that has cover from the wind and cold is the ideal protection for your cats in stormy weather. A heat lamp helps take the chill out of the air. Fresh straw or warm, dry bedding makes a cozy bed for your outdoor cats.

I like heated cat beds for my outdoor cats and a heated water dish. Ensure food bowls are full of fresh cat food and water bowls are free from ice. Give your pets fresh water every day to drink. Check on your pets often in the cold weather to ensure they are OK and that heat lamps and heated beds are working correctly.

Frostbite can occur quickly, and your cat can lose the tips of his ears or have the pads of his feet frozen. Take your cat to your vet ASAP if you expect it to have frostbite. Many cats die from distemper in the cold winter months if they do not have their shots up to date. If your electricity goes out, have a straw your cats can snuggle up in to preserve body heat.

Give your cats a lot of table scraps and canned cat food in the winter to boost their immune systems and give them extra energy to survive. I like to feed my cats high-quality dry cat food with a lot of protein and hardly any by-products. Feed your cat the best quality food you can for their well-being.

Ensure your cat’s shelter stays dry and free from drafts and wind. A small electric heater helps take that cold chill out of the building that they are living in. In case of a power outage, have old blankets available for your cats to snuggle up in. Keep plenty of fresh dry straws on hand, and ensure your cats have the water they can drink. I hope you and your cats keep warm and healthy as the weather gets colder.

Ridicule

No one wants to be ridiculed. Taking a joke too far is a form of ridicule. Some things are not a joking matter, no matter how you may see them. If the party is not taking the joke how you intended it to be taken, then stop immediately. Carrying a mark too far hurts everyone involved in the end. Friends may be lost, and business deals could be broken.

Teasing someone endlessly gets old and annoying to the person on the receiving end. Teasing can get out of hand very quickly and is a behavior that a bully might present. Teasing can be a way of putting someone down in their eyes. What you might think is very innocent is not innocent to the person at the receiving end.

Laughing at someone is also a form of ridicule. Would you like to be laughed at? I am sure your answer is no. To laugh with someone is lovely, but to laugh at them is a big problem in my and God’s eyes. Laughter is the best medicine when done correctly and with good intentions.

Mocking someone’s behavior is never good unless you’re a famous comedian, and should be done tactfully. Always remember you could always be on the receiving end of ridicule. Mocking someone’s actions is mean and nasty if you have to put someone down to feel good about yourself, you have a significant problem.

Contempt is a feeling of disrespect. When you feel contempt toward another human being, you may think of them as something, not a person, or they are worthless. No person is weak in this World. God made every one of us; no one is better or worse than the next guy. We are each one of God’s lambs in his flock.

Make sure you treat people with the utmost respect and never ridicule them, for we are all created alike by the hand of God. Spread God’s good works today and always without ceasing.

Spiritual Maintenance

We maintain and update a lot of things in our life. We check our furnaces once a year to make sure they are in prime optimal condition for the cold winter months. We recharge our air conditioners in our cars so we will be nice and cool in the hot summer months.

Maintenance Is A Constant In Our Lives

Our homes need new roofs every 25 to 50 years. We need to replace worn-out appliances and more. General maintenance is constant in our lives. If something is well cared for and maintained, it will last years. A house left unattended will turn into shambles in a concise amount of time.

Maintain Your Relationship With God

If you do not maintain your relationship with God, your life will turn into a train wreck because you will end up on the wrong track. God will always guide you in the right direction in your life as long as you let him be your guide in life.

Spiritual Maintenance

We must all have spiritual maintenance for our spirit to live on into eternity. Let the Bible be your guide to keep you on track for a rich spiritual life. Tune into the sounds of nature and always be alert as to what God is calling upon you to do with your life. We will all take many different paths in our life that will benefit or hurt others. Try to stay on the way that always helps others. Many temptations will try to rob you of a rich spiritual life with God. Do not be tempted by what the herd is doing, as it is easy to be a follower. Only follow what God would want you to follow. If you follow someone, make sure they are of pure heart and soul, and they do not harm others. Help and uplift people every day and listen to God’ss calling for you for your spiritual maintenance.

No Comments on Natural Balance Delectable Delights Sea Brulee Moist Cat Food from Chewy.Com

I was provided Natural Balance Delectable Delights Sea Brulee Moist Cat Food from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100% honest and my own.

My cat next door came running when I opened their Natural Balance Sea Brulee. Mr. Gray ate very quickly. Sherlock found a large portion I had put down and polished it in short order. Russ and Faith ate up their fair share, and they savored every single morsel. Peter and Nicole found their portion, and Peter hardly let his sister Nicole have any Sea Brulee for herself. Hilford found the last part, and he looked up at me and purred away while he ate.

Natural Balance is grain-free, and the sea brulee has tuna, whitefish & carrots in a tasty gravy. It is entirely balanced nutrition for adult cats. The ingredients are wholesome and cooked to perfection. The food morsels are tiny, so older cats can chew and swallow them quickly.

Today Addi finally ate some Natural balance before her kittens consumed all of it. Nicole and Peter at a sizable amount of Natural Balance Delectable Delights Sea Brulee Moist Cat Food from Chewy.Com. Hilford and Sherlock were delighted with their sea brulee. Russ devoured his portion in no time at all. Faith looked over every dish that might have some Sea Brulee in it and licked them clean. My cats gathered around me when they spotted the container containing their Natural Balance Sea Brulee this morning. If cats like something you feed them, they will remember what the container looks like or if you say the name of the food to them. I once had a female cat that would come running every time I mentioned the name of her favorite food; my seafood-loving cats love their Natural Balance Sea Brulee from Chewy.Com.

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.

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.

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.

Life is But a Fleeting Moment

No Comments on Life is But a Fleeting Moment

This poem is taken from my poetry book: Joy Forever Precious Soul.

Life is a fleeting moment, so do not say or do anything you do not mean. There will come a day you cannot return your spoken word.

Life is a fleeting moment, so live to your full potential and let your dreams come true. Live your life for the future, not the past, But hold the history and sacred memories close to your heart and never let them go.

Life is but a fleeting moment. Like an arrow shot into the night, You never know exactly where it went or where all the time went in your life.

Treat all the people you love like there is no tomorrow. Remember, you can never take back the spoken word or the sped arrow because life is a fleeting moment.

My Memories of Amy Hild

I am writing a blog about a dear blogger friend who died in a car accident.

Amy represented Joy,Hope,Love, and Peace to me.

Whenever you saw her, there was an instant of joy. Her kind smile filled you with pleasure. Her uplifting personality always gave you a lift.

You always felt at peace when you talked to her. Amy had a very kind and caring nature.

There was always love in Amy’s heart. She gave her love fully and willingly to everyone she met. The minute she entered a room, there was an incredible feeling in your heart from her presence there.

She always gave you hope. If you needed anything, Amy was always there for you.

I remember the day I spent with Amy in Hampton, Iowa. She had spun a wheel at a local bank at the fairgrounds in Hampton, Iowa. She won a chance to go into their money tent. Amy entered the tent, smiling and laughing as she caught some money flying. She was so pleased and vibrant that day.

Amy was an outstanding citizen. She had a heart of gold.

The last thing that Amy ever said was I would help you, Laura.

I will miss her terribly.

Joy Forever, Our Precious Soul.
