You Look So Well And More

You Look So Well And More

People Go By How Someone Looks, Which can be very Deceiving.

As the old saying goes, do not judge a book by its cover. Some health issues cannot be seen because they are hidden deeply. Never tell someone, “You look so good,” as they will take it as if you thought they had been lying about their health condition, which only someone deranged would do. No one wants to have any health issues, but people have them, and do not belittle them by saying Why can’t you do such and such. One woman was told to move quicker by a group of women, and she could not because she had Parkinson’s disease. After the meeting, she went home and cried. Women can pick each other to pieces over nothing, and because of their lack of intelligence on an issue. Make sure you have all of your facts before you act like the top hen in a hen house, ladies.

Lashing Out At Someone In Church

I noticed one woman come to church on Sunday, and an older woman met her at the door and said that people die of the kind of illness they deserve. I sure wonder what type of illness she died of. People contract various diseases, and no one can control what they get. I had to remember that I was in church because I wanted to tell that door greeter off. People are expected to be kind to one another, understand others’ health conditions, and refrain from bringing them down or making them feel worse after attending church.

People In Wheelchairs

I noticed a woman shopping in a grocery store one day, and another woman came up behind her and said, “Get that wheelchair out of my way.” One day, she may need a wheelchair, and I wonder how she will like it if someone tells her to get out of the way. Show respect and kindness to people who are trying to maneuver around with their wheelchairs and do things on their own.

People Who Have To Open Their Mouth Before Their Brain Is Engaged

No one knows what disease you will contract in life, and we are better off not knowing. Never make fun of someone who is not healthy by snickering at them. I knew someone, and they told me that the aids would snicker at them where they were living. They may end up in a care facility someday, and I wonder how they will like the Snicker experience. I am sure they will not like it whatsoever.

Disabilities That Cannot Be Seen

A person may become tired quickly or feel exhausted soon after working for a while. If you are not around this person, you would never know. People with common diseases and those with less common diseases all share health issues that are not always visible. You have no idea of the inner being of any human, so do not judge them. Show kindness and compassion to all people, and refrain from placing demands on them or making them feel bad. A woman asked another woman to return to an organization and volunteer, and she said yes. After she agreed, she told her she had to work like a mule and said she could not anymore. The other lady said you must not like older adults, and she said I did not say that, but she did indirectly, as she was too old to be of any use to the organization if she could not work like a mule anymore. Have compassion in your heart and soul for others.

Scripture :

John 5 16

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that they may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.

How Cats Treat Each Other

How Cats Treat Each Other

There Will Always Be At Least One Alpha Cat in A Multi-Cat Household

Cali is the alpha female cat in my house, keeping my two male cats in line. She hisses at Milton every day. Milton may growl at her, but he does his best to ignore her when he ignores Cali; it irks her to no end. Cali is 14 years old, and Milton is only 15 months old. Cali wants to get into a fight with him, but he will not. Garfunkel gets along fine with Cali and Milton, and Cali likes Garfunkel. I do not think that Cali will ever like Milton for some reason of her own.

 

Cats That Grow Up Together

Cats that grow up together and are never separated form lifelong friendships. They will generally walk next to each other with their tails touching. Jasmine and Hanford are brothers and sisters who like sleeping in the same spot or area. They have been inseparable since birth. Addi is the mother of Hilford, Sherlock, and Mr. Gray next door. Hilford and Mr. Gray rub up against their mother daily as a sign of their love for her. Some of my older cats next door became babysitters for Addis’ kittens, and they bonded for life. Kittens that grow up together make perfect housecats since there will be no tension between them regarding who the top cat is. Cats that grow up together help each other out in life. My three Toms went after a Tom that came to the farm, and he never returned with my three Toms scaring him off. A mother cat and her kittens will remain close forever if left in the same household. Peter is the father of Hilford, Sherlock, and Mr. Gray, and he knows they are his kittens and will walk beside his sons.

Tomcat Fights

Tomcat fights can get very nasty in a hurry. Some of my Toms over the years have come home with scars all over their faces or maybe the tip of an ear missing after a brutal fight. Toms constantly fight for the right to the female cats on the property to pass their genes along to the next generation. Some Toms can be very gentle, but they generally do not fare well in all-out warfare.

Female Cat Fights

I had a Siamese female cat beat up one of my outdoor cats years ago, and believe me, you never want to fight a purebred Siamese cat if you are a domestic female cat. Female cats are very good at defending their kittens from Toms and other female cats. Luckily, I had one female cat that won a battle with a skunk. The skunk had bitten a small part of her skin off her face. Our neighbor witnessed the fight and said our female cat was a mighty warrior. Luckily, our cats had rabies shots since skunks are known to carry rabies.

My Cats Never Get Vicious With Each Other

My cats settle their disagreements calmly. They may hiss or growl, but nothing comes from that. My cats are very loving in their different, unique ways.

Living A Purpose Driven Life

Living A Purpose Driven Life

Sometimes, One Thinks What is My Purpose In Life?

All of us have a significant purpose in life. Sometimes, it is not apparent to us right away. When we are very young, we may contribute much more to society than we think, regarding how we treat others and have helped them in unknown ways. When a young boy opens a door for you, it shows respect and helpfulness. Children support other children and cheer them on in sports or other events. As we mature, we add more to society in what we can contribute. You may help someone repair something or comfort them while they are sick. As an adult, you may have gone to college and become a Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, Accountant, etc. All of these jobs help people live and contribute their talents to society. When one link is broken in a chain, it strains everyone connected, and not as much will be contributed. If we all stick together and do what we are good at, society moves in the right direction.

Mother Or Father

You contribute by raising a son or daughter with good Christian values. You teach your children good values, and they will carry them for the rest of their lives. You answer your children’s questions to the best of your ability, comfort them, and support them throughout the years. A loving mother or father never stops loving their children. You may even tell your adult children what they should do before you pass. They may tell you to hire more things done as you age and sell things that may be too much to maintain. Children learn by watching and observing their parents, and they will most likely carry the same values that their parents did.

God’s Purpose For Each One Of Us

God had a purpose for each of us the day we were born. Whatever we have done that helped others is what God wanted us to do to help him care for his flock. Helping people and visiting with them is sometimes the highlight of their day. God is the potter, and we are the clay. God is a perfect potter, and it is up to us to lead a good example of how God molded us to represent his values on Earth and to share the good news with the masses. If you see someone needing help desperately, try to help them if possible. Someday, you too will need help, do you want someone to pass you by and do nothing? I know your answer will be no, please help me. Live by God’s example, and your life will have more purpose than you ever imagined possible.

Caretaker Of The Land And Animals

We should leave the land enriched with nutrients and never strip the land of what it needs to be fruitful and productive. We should care for all of God’s creatures, great and small, as they become extinct; we may also become extinct. Everyone on Earth has a significant purpose in their life.

What Might Upset My New Housecat?

What Might Upset My New Housecat?

Old Cats Versus New Cat

Your old cats will make sure to let your new cat know that they are still in charge. They have various methods of doing this. They will ensure you are watching and make it look like the newcomer attacked them. They are good at swatting the newcomer, and when he swats them back, they look at you with loving eyes like, “Help me, mommy. That new cat is terrible, and you must give it back to its previous owners before we perish. The new cat must tread lightly to fit in with his new family. I had one of my housecats pounce on my young cat, and he did nothing as he did not want to get in trouble, and my cats were very pleased with themselves until the jig was up. My calico/Siamese cat pulled out all of the stops, and she would slap my young cat until he finally swatted back. Cali would swat and hiss at Milton until she realized that would not work for her. Milton was jealous of Garfunkel but soon realized he was a friendly cat.

Feeding Time

At first, one wanted to be served first, and then they realized that the older ones would be served first, and then the youngest. Milton loves cat treats, so keeping them apart for treats proved to be challenging. They soon figured out that their treats would be placed in their dishes, and that was all the treats each cat would get that evening. Cats want to be treated fairly; if you have favorites, your others will notice and feel bad or left out. Make sure you give your new cat the kind of food he is used to eating to avoid digestive issues, and gradually include your food next to his brand of food.

Ensure Your Young Cat Has A Familiar Toy Or Towel. Etc.

A familiar scent around will make your new feline companion’s transition to your home more bearable. Anyone is scared when they are in uncharted territory, and so is your feline friend. Make sure your new bundle of fur has a nice cozy place to sleep where he can be alone if he chooses to. Buy some catnip toys for your young cat and other things that will stimulate him.

Cat Litterbox

Please ensure each cat in your home has its own litterbox. This will reduce accidents, as one cat may not let the others enter their litterbox. Some cats will sit in a doorway trying to block your young cat from getting to any litterbox. Your older cats will then meow and bring you to the area where the newcomer had the accident as if to say Look at that, do you want that creature in your home? Cats are very clever creatures; you must always be one step ahead. Cat rivalry and hierarchy will continue, but you will be in charge of the situation if you think beforehand about what your cat will do.

Don't Let Other People Influence You With What They Want

Don’t Let Other People Influence You With What They Want

Live Your Life, Not Someone Else’s

Do not let someone tell you what job they want you to do. You choose your career because you will never like your job or be good at it if you don’t. You must have a job that fulfills you and completes you in life. Sometimes, an older person might try to live their dreams through you, which is wrong. God has a unique purpose for everyone, and never let someone take God’s purpose for your life away from you. God always knows what is best for you, so follow your life dreams and not the dreams that a relative or friend may have for you.

Health Decisions

Never ask a family member if you should have surgery or not. Your health is up to you, and if you want the surgery, go for it, and if you do not do it on your own accord, and not on the advice of others. Ask your doctor about any concerns you may have about the surgery and if the surgery will take away any pain you are going through. Have the surgery, as no one wants to live in constant pain. Life has many complex decisions, so make sure the one you ask questions about surgery has your best interest at heart.

Vacations

Some people do not like to travel, but their spouse does, and they feel they have to stay home with their spouse. If your spouse does not want to travel, find a good friend to travel with. I have had married couples tell me they wanted to travel, but their spouse did not, and now they regret it because they waited too long to travel and have health concerns that do not permit them to travel anymore. Do not let anyone take away your travel dreams. Travel opens up a beautiful new chapter in your life full of adventure, history, stunning scenery, and learning about the different countries’ histories, and that everyone wants the same things out of life, no matter where you travel. You never regret the wonderful vacation memories with your spouse or a dear friend.

Money

Money truly is the root of all evil. Some unsprulous people take advantage of senior citizens and ask them for money when they cannot afford to give them any money. Many nasty scammers go after senior citizens with insurance scams or ask them for money. If you do such a thing, you are the lowest form of human being possible. I cannot stand the stench that such an individual puts out. These people will have to answer to God someday for what they have done to God’s vulnerable flock. People should be givers and not takers. If you cannot give something to someone with joy in your heart, you have a serious mental problem.

Help Older People  Have A Better Quality Of Life

Visit with them and give them gifts. Take them out for supper. Older friends love to go out for drives. Surprise them with a beautiful day that they will enjoy. It will make their day and yours extra special, with precious memories you will never forget. Remember, you can learn much from older people, as they are very wise. Treat your elders with the utmost respect always. God bless our senior citizens, for without them, we would not be here or have the knowledge that we have.

Cats That Love To Charm You

Cats That Love To Charm You

Charming Cats

Cats love to rub on you and make their presence known. If you let your cat sleep in your bed, they may touch you gently with their paws as if to say, “I love you,” or “Are you OK?” Cats that meet you at the door charm you as if they say, “I missed you. Where were you?” I have had many charming cats over the years, some of whom would present me with a snake, bird, rabbit, or vole that they had caught and killed. One of my house cats will bring a toy mouse and place it by my feet as if to say Look at me, I am a good huntress. If your cat lies down with his stomach exposed, he is telling you that he trusts you 100%. Some cats charm you with their beauty and their angelic ways. Cats seem to know if you are not up to par, and they will not leave your side until you start feeling better. Some of my cats next door look at me lovingly with their eyes that seem to penetrate your soul. Cats help bring out the caring side of you, as you want them to live a happy and healthy life for many years to come. We spend millions of dollars on our pets as consumers every year, as we want our cats to live the best life possible with the best cat foods, treats, and toys.

Male Cats Seem To Have More Time To Charm You

Over the years, my male cats have loved to sit in my lap and let me fuss over them. My female cats want to be held or petted on their terms only. Researchers have said that female cats are hardwired that way. Females have to be alert to the needs of their kittens at all times, as they are the providers of food and their kittens, and they do not have time to be held and fussed over like male cats. Female cats are charming, but on their terms, because they must be caregivers and providers.

Love Nips

Male cats love to give you gentle love nips as it is their way of showing affection towards you. They never seem to draw blood as they have a gentle love nip. I trained one female cat to bite me on command when I was very young, and she obliged me each time. She was a beautiful female, colored calico cat.

Cats That Lick  You And Rub All Over You

My calico cat Cali loves to lick or touch my hand with her paw. Garfunkel loves to touch my nose with his nose when I am in bed at night, as it is his way of letting me know that he loves me. Faith loves to rub herself against my leg in the morning. When a cat sits in your lap, purrs away, and looks at you with beautiful eyes focused only on you, you know they love you very much. I love all of my charming cats. Every cat has its own unique and wonderful personality. My cats bring great joy into my life, and I could not imagine the world without a cat in it, as they are truly one of God’s wonderful and loving creatures. Coming home to a cat after a long day is very rewarding, as they calm you down with their special ways of greeting you, sitting on your lap, and picking up on your energy. God bless our dear feline friends and grant them a long, healthy, and happy life.

Empathy Toward Others

Empathy Toward Others

Put Yourself In Their Place

How would you feel if you fell and everyone kept walking past you? I am sure you would think, Why will no one help me? I saw an older woman fall by our local library, and everyone walked by her. I told her I would go in and get help for her since I could not lift her. To my surprise, none of the young men in the library would help her. I finally got two Vets from the Vietnam War to help her up. She thanked them and me. I hope that if I needed help, not everyone would walk by and have an I don’t care attitude. Everyone gets old, and it happens much sooner than you think. Without empathy and caring, we have lost what God wants us to do to improve the world. God has great compassion and understanding for everyone, for his son died on the cross so that we may be forgiven for our sins.

Pain From An Illness

When you are in pain from an illness or disease, you want to have a Doctor and a nurse who are compassionate and understanding. You hope that they will give you pain medicine promptly. No one wants to burden others, as we all want our independence. Eventually, we will all need someone to love and nurture us as Christ does. Some medical conditions may not show just by looking at a person. Never judge a book by its cover until you know what the chapters in it are all about. People have many chapters in their books, but may not want to discuss each. Never judge anyone by outside appearances, as what is happening on the inside is the most important thing.

Empathy Is Very Important Indeed

An older man fell on the steps of a tour bus I was on, and no one would help him. I helped him, and the others on the bus were mad at me. I am very sure that if they had fallen, they would have wanted help immediately. Christ has excellent empathy toward all of his flock. He was close to his friends and only wanted the best for them. He gave them second chances when they did something wrong and even brought Lazarus back to life. If you see someone crying, ask them if they need help or try to comfort them somehow; don’t just walk on by.

If Someone Says They Cannot Do Something, Ask Them Why

People will do what they can, but maybe their health prohibits them from doing more. Don’t push people into something if they say no. If you belong to a group, people look at you and say, “Why can’t you do such and such?” You should not have to explain your whole life history to them. Have empathy toward people and do not expect them to jump through hoops for you. We all know what our limitations are, and no one else does. Always think first, have empathy and care toward others, and never judge man, for God is the only judge of man.

Healthy Pet Dishes And Supplies

Healthy Pet Dishes And Supplies

Plastic Food, Water Dishes, And Litter Boxes

Plastic pet dishes can get deep scratches from use and harbor lots of bacteria over time, which is unhealthy for your cat. The plastic also breaks down and releases chemicals from the plastic, which can wreak havoc on your cat’s digestion and memory over time. Plastic litter boxes should be replaced when you see lots of marks in the plastic, as they could cause parasites in your cat’s digestive system because you cannot clean them thoroughly anymore.

Try To Buy Stainless Steel Pet Dishes And Litter Boxes Which Clean Up Well

I try to have stainless steel or ceramic pet bowls and clean my litter boxes with dish soap and a scrub brush. I just noticed a new stainless steel litter box advertised on Facebook yesterday, and I intend to research it more and most likely buy one.

Cat Toys

Cat toys need to be replaced if they get torn up or start falling apart. If it is one of your cat’s favorite toys, try to buy another one like it before you destroy the old one. Some cats will keep looking for the old one. I put the new cat toy and the old one side by side, and after my cat starts playing with the new one constantly, I get rid of the worn-out one. Cats need sanitary toys to play with since they chew on them, and if the toy harbors germs, your dear pet cat will get sick. Ensure all of your cat toys are large enough so your cat does not choke on them by swallowing them.

Cat Hammocks And Beds

Vacuum your cat’s beds, hammocks, and spot-clean areas with a pet cleaning solution if your cat scarfs up a hairball or has an accident on them. I have good luck with a pet cleaner for stains and odor removal. If a hammock gets holes in it, replace it with a new one. Ensure your heated cat beds still have a working heating pad; if not, order a new bed when they are on sale in the summer months. Cardboard boxes and towels make good cat beds for the summer months. Wash the towels regularly, and then eventually replace them with new ones.

Cat Litter

I like lightweight and natural cat litter made of walnut hulls, ground-up newspaper, or pine tree wood. I also like Tidy Cat litter and Arm and Hammer litter. I purchased one made of corn, and my cats did not like that one. Never put out a new brand of litter without having some of their tried and approved litter out, as they may not use the new one, and you will have a big mess to clean up. Always sweep up any litter outside the litterbox; this will help prevent fleas, as they like dirty cat litter and litterboxes that are not kept up to snuff. Ensure you keep all your pet supplies sanitary and clean, and throw out worn-out ones. I hope you have a happy and healthy cat for many years.

Cats That Vomit

Cats That Vomit

A Cat That Eats Too Fast

Some cats eat way too fast. They hardly take any time to chew their food; they swallow it whole. I have seen a cat eat a lot of moist cat food and then suddenly vomit. Sometimes, a cat will eat fast if it thinks another cat or animal may come along soon and finish off their food. It is also suitable for an outdoor cat to finish its food quickly, or a predator may come along and find the food. The predator could then see your cat if the cat slept in an area close to the food bowls. Young kittens eat fast to ensure they get enough before one of their siblings finishes the bowl of cat treats. Certain cat foods will spoil if left out too long. As your cat’s caregiver, throw chicken pieces out sitting in your cat’s bowl for two hours.

Anxious And Nervous Cats

Anxious and nervous cats will eat quickly, as they want to be away from other cats or animals because they might feel threatened around them. Cats do not like a change of any kind. I bought a new recliner for our home, and the cats in our house got upset because of the change. Several of them threw up the minute the recliner entered the Living Room. New carpeting or flooring can upset them. Your new pet-proof and stain-proof carpet will most likely get tested out the day after or the next day after it has been installed.

Strangers In Your Home

If someone comes to visit you that your cats have not seen before, they will most likely run and hide under something, as they will then feel safe and protected. If your cat has just eaten before the stranger comes, he may throw up. Some cats may throw up on a chair to show their disapproval of the new chair as it has a new smell and none of their scent. It is best to lay an armrest cover from the old recliner on the new one, and then your cats will think the new one is not so bad after all.

Vomiting Can Be A Sign That Your Cat Is Sick

Cats with bad teeth will throw up, and kidney issues, liver issues, cancer, and more can cause your cat to vomit. You may have to switch to a different kind of cat food that is easier for them to digest. Your cat could have a swallowing problem and issues where they can no longer digest their food correctly. Never punish your cat for throwing up; I have heard of people putting their cat’s head down in the vomit. How would you like it if someone did that to you after you threw up? I can guarantee you would not like it one little bit. If your cat continues to throw up regularly, take him to your vet ASAP, as it could be a matter of life or death for your feline friend.

God Is On Call For You 24/7

God Is On Call For You 24/7

In Times Of Trouble, Ask God For Help

If you are not feeling well or feel threatened, ask God for help. God always answers our prayers. Maybe we will have to wait for them to be answered, but always have faith that God will answer your prayers. In a severe storm, I ask God to let the storm pass over and not harm anyone. If someone is pestering you, pray to God for an idea so that they will stop tormenting you. If it is spam phone calls, ask them who they want to speak to, and if they do not know your name, hang up ASAP. God can put ideas in your head that will help you in life if you are open to getting answers and using those answers for a good reason. When I have been sick and have had bad days, I ask God to place his healing arms around me, which he has done many times. I am so blessed to have God by my side in the shallows and the hallows of my life. God’s love for you is 24/7 and will never leave your side. He loves his children equally, as no one is any better or worse off than another. Trust and obey, for there is no other way than to trust and obey, which is very accurate indeed. Any relationship needs trust to flourish, and we must abide by our parents and obey God. When you have surgery, pray to God to have the right Doctor, surgeons, and nurses in your life at the right time so that you may make it through the surgery safely and have a quick recovery time. Pray for your friends, relatives, and strangers, including animals; we are God’s creatures.

God Is A Friend That You Can Always Count On

I trust my Lord and Savior. God has helped me all of my life. When I have felt defeated, he takes my hand and says, “Get up, and do not be dismayed, for many good times are still ahead of you if you go out and live your life and never give up.” Everyone has a purpose while we are on earth. God is our ultimate cheerleader; he jumps for joy when we excel at meaningful things. Living a purposeful life is easy if you have the I think I can attitude. Remember, after a storm, the sun will always shine again. A new day is a day with no mistakes. Most of us will be blessed with many productive days and lead a rich and rewarding life if we look at life as full of adventures, joyous times, lifelong friendships, reaching for the stars, and not settling for anything less. There will be detours on the road of life, but with God’s guidance, the detour should be short before we get back on the correct route for our lives. Listen to your heart and be open to listening to God when he is calling you, as he wants the best for you 24/7.
