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.

Dandruff and Your Cat

When any of my cats get dandruff, I often brush their hair and comb it. I generally remove a lot of hair which helps control their dandruff. I will bathe the cat if that cat tolerates having a bath. If my cat has not been cleaned in four months, I will not wash them. It is too dangerous to give an older cat a tub for the first time as you may get clawed up by a cat that does not like a thing to do with water.

It is also good to stimulate the hair follicles on your cat to help control dandruff. I have noticed that the more I comb my cat’s hair, the less dandruff he has. When I show him his comb, my cat Kohl comes to me to be combed out. Kohl’s comb is bright red. I started combing out Kohl’s hair when he was very young.

I gave Kohl a waterless bath yesterday. The dry shampoo smelled like pine needles. I applied the dry shampoo to some Bounty paper towels and rubbed it all over his hair. When I was finished, Kohl’s hair was bright and shiny. I could no longer see any trace of dandruff in his hair. Kohl got combed out and got his waterless shampoo bath for the perfect-looking shiny black hair.

My cat Cali loves to have her hair combed, and so does Russ. I show them their comb and brush, and they are very tolerant of combing or brushing their hair.

Start combing out your cat’s hair at a young age, and they will look forward to having their hair worked on. Your cat will have the best-looking coat of hair that is shiny and dandruff free.

3 Comments on My cats are excellent caregivers while I am sick

Garfunkel lays as close as he can to me and purrs gently in my ear. Garfunkel also licks my face at night. He stays next to me all night and purrs quietly throughout the night. During the day, Garfunkel lays on my lap and looks at me very lovingly. He likes to follow me to my house’s different rooms to ensure I am OK.

Kohl lays on my lap and purrs away in the daytime. He makes sure I am never out of his sight. He leads the way to the bathroom and to the kitchen. Kohl will generally be fed a snack while I am in the kitchen. He will lay on top of a high object to get a bird’s eye view of my coming and leaving the different rooms in my house. Kohl also likes to sleep in my recliner at night or next to the heat register.

Conrad is a timid cat. Conrad finally came out of hiding after two days. Conrad was then very attentive and affectionate to my every need. Conrad would check on me every forty minutes without missing a beat. He would let out a shrill meow to ensure I was still alive; He would finally lie by my feet and fall asleep for the night.

M cats know when I am not feeling well and are very attentive and affectionate. My cats are kind and very loving feline friends.

Maggie, my outdoor cat, saw me through my picture window, and she stared at me for at least three minutes as if to say yes, Mother is home. Cali, Russ, and Bella were delighted to see me. My other cats next door are timid, but they did look me over for a while. Cats are excellent caregivers.

Why My Cats are so Important to me

2 Comments on Why My Cats are so Important to me

My cats greet me with a gentle nudge in the morning. Their purrs are peaceful and relaxing. Every one of my cats has its distinct personality. Some cats are much more outgoing than others. Some cats are timid and take a long time to get used to people.

My cats know if I am not feeling well and curl beside me. My cats purr away and take the worries of this World away. Garfunkel always curls right next to me. Conrad lets me pat him on the head and sits by my feet. Kohl will lie down next to me and then lie by the heat register for the night.

Watching my cats play is very relaxing for my cats and me. They love to play with their lighted ball toy and catnip mice.

When you rescue or save a cat’s life,e you have protected one of God’s beautiful creatures. All the cats I have saved over the years have been delightful.

Cats are not judgmental. Cats will return any favor you do for them ten times over in the love they return to you. Some cats love to have their hair brushed out. All of my cats love to eat tuna canned in water and an occasional cat treat now and then.

I have been around cats since I was in a baby stroller. My cats have followed me all over my farm. They sit on my lap if I read a book outdoors. They waited with me and kept me company while I waited for the school bus in the morning.

I cannot remember life without the love of a dear feline friend. I hope you have a special feline friend in your life.

A Farm Cats Life in the Late 50's and Early 60's

1 Comment on A Farm Cats Life in the Late 50’s and Early 60’s

I grew up on a farm with approximately ten cats. Our cats were excellent hunters.

All of our cats lived in a large barn with a hay loft. They would curl up in the hay in the hay loft to keep warm. The pigs and cattle in the barn provided some warmth for the cats. The Mother cats would nest in the hay where they had their kittens. Our largest litter of kittens was eight kittens. A typical farm cat has four to five kittens per litter.

A cat in the late ’50s and early ’60s was feed table scraps. The cats would come running up to the house for their table scraps. Our cats also ate scrambled eggs and warm oatmeal. Our cats were given milk to drink along with fresh water every day.

We had open corn cribs, which rats liked because they liked to eat the corn. We also had an empty feeder where our pigs ate. Our cats would quickly kill a rat when they noticed one. When our cat population grew to ten, we had no more rats on our farm.

I would pat my farm cats on the head every day. Our cats loved to follow me around our farm and keep me company. I would hold my cats on my lap or while I rode my tricycle. My cats were always very close to me when I would play outside as a child. I gave my cats a lot of love and attention.

Several of our farm cats lived to be ten years old. Most of our farm cats lived until at least eight years old. Farm cats get a lot of exercises, catching mice and birds and killing rabbits. Our farm cats would bring a dead mouse to the door every other day. They would see and kill field mice they caught in our field or ditches.

The life of a farm cat on our farm in the late 50s and early 60s was not too bad.

My Five Favorite Attractions at Disney World

3 Comments on My Five Favorite Attractions at Disney World

I went to Disney World with my friend Sara, of travelwithsara. We had a wonderful time looking at and enjoying a lot of the beautiful attractions at Disney World.

I loved watching It’s a Bugs Life in Animal Kingdom at Disney World. The movie was very educational about insects. The graphics and sound effects were expertly done. The insects in the film were lively and funny, and at the same time, you learned the benefits of having insects in our world.

I loved the ride called Soarin, located in Epcot at Disney World. The ride was like you were soaring over what you saw on the screen. I felt like I was on a hang glider, moving over what I saw on the net. I could have ridden on this ride all day long if it had been possible, yet the passage in the car at Test Track in Epcot at Disney World. The ride was fun and fast, yet not too fast. You had the feeling that you were testing out a race car. The color of the car I rode in was red, which suits a race car perfectly.

I found The Land in Epcot at Disney World informative and educational. The Land teaches you about plants and fish farming. Disney World can harvest 20,000 heads of lettuce a year which they serve at their restaurants on their grounds. They had catfish and walleyes that they were raising. They were using hydroponics to water the plants at The Land. The tomato plants were loaded with healthy ripe tomatoes in the water only. The broccoli plants were hanging with their roots down and circulating through a track that sprayed their hearts with water. All of their vegetables looked very healthy and tasty.

The Carousel of Progress in Tomorrowland at The Magic Kingdom in Disney World was one of my favorite attractions. I loved how they talked about the old-time chores with housework and how our appliances have changed over the years. They mentioned that doing the laundry took 25 hours a week in the 1940s. The Carousel of Progress ends with modern times and shows us all the beautiful improvements over the years o make our lives much more accessible and better. The mannequins looked like real people and were excellent narrators.

I would highly recommend these expertly done attractions at Disney World.

Trixie Scratching Post and Combination Hammock Cat Bed

1 Comment on Trixie Scratching Post and Combination Hammock Cat Bed

Over the years, I have purchased four Trixie scratching post hammock beds for my cats. The Trixie products are easy to put together. All you have to do is screw two bolts into the cat hammock bed, which is completely assembled.

My cat next door sleep in the hammock part every day. They also use the scratching post constantly. My cats managed to remove the attached ball in about a month. My cats still play with the unattached ball.

Addi loves to sleep in her hammock bed day after day. Russ loves to curl up in the hammock for a long afternoon nap. Hilford loves to scratch away at the scratching post on the Trixie scratching post combination hammock cat bed. Sherlock loves to bask in the comfort of the soft fleece on the hammock cat bed. I have found Cali curled up in a tight little ball sound to sleep in her hammock cat bed. Lorenzo sleeps in the hammock every chance that he can get. Mr. Gray lays in the hammock and plays with the older cat’s tails from his higher vantage point. My cat next door loves scratching away on the rope-covered cardboard post on the Trixie combination hammock cat bed. Most of my cat’s next door have claws, so I love the Trixie scratching post combination hammock cat bed because all of my cat’s with nails love to use it.

Kohl jumped into the Trixie hammock cat bed when I assembled it. He slept in it until I put the Trixie hammock cat bed in the house next door for my other cats. Conrad batted the attached ball around for about ten minutes.

I highly recommend a Trixie scratching post combination hammock cat bed to my feline-loving friends. My cats still love the Trixie products in 2023. I found my Trixie products on the internet.
