Will You Be Able To Climb To The Top Of Your Mountain?

There will be lots of mountains that we must climb up in our lifetime. Some of the hills will be covered with loose rocks or large boulders, and we must learn how to maneuver up the mountain safely and wisely. If you start climbing up a hill and are unprepared for your journey, you will not reach the top. Everything in life takes lots of determination and preparation. You will need mountain gear and equipment to reach the peak. God will help you climb over problems and disappointments in your life when you ask him for his guidance in your life. Sometimes when we see a tall mountain in our life, we figure there is no way we can ever reach the top. All of us will have lots of cluttered mountains that we must climb. If we get caught up in events from our past and not focused on the future, getting to the top of the hill seems impossible. Let the past stay in the past, and look forward to the end. Do not focus on yourself in life. Focus on your family, friends, the needy, and those less fortunate than you are. Your first focus should bed on God and how you can serve him best daily.

Stay Focused On The Mountain Summit

Anything worth achieving in life takes time, and you must remain focused on your goal. To have a friend, you must be a friend. Friendships are the flowers in the garden of life. Family supports and stands by you when you need their love and support. Never take anyone for granted; let them know you love and care for them deeply. Friends and family will help you climb to the top of many obstacles or mountains. God stays focused on his flock and tries to guide us on our mountain journeys. God will keep looking for one lost sheep in his community, and he is pleased when the lost sheep returns to the flock. We struggle to climb the mountains occasionally, but we must never lose faith. We all struggle with health, family, and many other issues. If your health changes suddenly, it is hard to see the mountain top. It would be best not to let health problems rob you of what you accomplish with your life. Hold your torch high and keep climbing up the mountain. Remember, many people are much worse off than you, and they still hold their torches high. Never give up on yourself, as there is only one you created by God to help make the World a better place for you having been here. God will help me reach the mountain summit in my life. Go out and climb to the top of your mountain summit with your torch held high.

My Cousins Cat Died At Age 23

No Comments on My Cousins Cat Died At Age 23

I Gave Her To My Cousin As a Kitten

She was born on my farm. Her Mother was part Siamese, Himalayan, and domestic short – hair. Her Mother lived to be 18 years old. Her Mother was an excellent huntress; she killed many mice and gophers in her lifetime. My cousin’s cat was also an excellent huntress. Her Mother looked five times in each direction before she would cross the road. Luckily, my cousin’s cat lived next to a hectic Hi-Way, and she remembered the crossing-the-road skills she had taught her Mother. My cousin found her dead in the cat building. It is unfortunate to lose a cat you have had for 23 years as they are part of your family.

She Was An Excellent Mother Cat

She never lost her kittens when she took them hunting with her. All of her kittens were nursed and loved by her, and none of them died shortly after they were born as she attended to their every need. Some of her kittens in later years were killed on the busy Hi-Way. My cousin has one of her daughters and two Grandchildren from her. They are very active, and excellent hunters like their Mother was. Her children are always on the move, just like she was. My cousin cared for her, and he loved her dearly. My cousin’s cat lived to be 23 because she was always active and on the move in search of mice or other Vermont. She never sat still in her old age and seemed to enjoy life and all it had to offer. She left an incredible legacy as she was a very kind and loving cat, and she lives on through her and her children’s children. My cousin’s cat that died is the cat in the back of the picture with her daughter and grandson.

We Buried Her On My Cousins’ Farm

I had a large Styrofoam box that we buried her in, and she was wrapped in a coat. We had to bury her in a building on his farm with a dirt floor since all the other ground was completely frozen. She is buried on the farm she loves and loves hunting on. She will be greatly missed, as she was such a wonderful cat. She brought much joy to my cousin over the years. I said a prayer for her after I buried her. I thanked God for letting him have her in my cousin’s life as she brought much joy and love into my cousins life. I asked God to care for her in his loving arms at her death. I thanked God for the beautiful legacy she left behind. May she find a happy home in your loving embrace? As we remember her may we love each other more dearly. She has a beautiful tombstone for her grave marker. The marker has a cat on it with angels’ wings, and it mentions our genuine friendship with our dearly loved cats and us. The bond between pets and humans can never be broken or lost, as it remains in our hearts and soul forever.

You Can Call On God 24/7

If you have a difficult day, pray to God for guidance and advice on turning your bad day into a good one. God has a way of guiding you on a path that he wants to take you on that will benefit you and others if you let him into your daily living. All of us are blessed with many talents that we can share with others that will help them in life. I am blessed to be able to talk to people, listen to their concerns, and try to help them out to the best of my ability. God puts certain people in our daily lives who can help us learn more about God by listening to their experiences. We know a great deal about God from our Elders. I have learned more about God’ss loving hands from my older friend. I have learned a lot about God from my younger friends in my life, also. God touches all of our lives in positive ways. God has helped them with significant difficulties and health issues; they are richer for it. Pray to God without ceasing, and thank God constantly for the blessings he has bestowed on you. Listen to the birds sing in the morning, thanking God for a brand-new day. Remember, you can always call on God for daily guidance. God is my anchor and my foundation through any storm in my life.

God Is There For You In Life And Death

God has a day set for us to be born and die. It is our responsibility to lead a life that represents God’s teachings. God wants all of us to be his good shepherds and help others out whenever and however we can. Tell others how God has influenced your life and how he has helped you in your life. We are all children of God and should show respect and honor to our heavenly Father. Do not take God for granted. Pray often and thank God continually. I feel God’s presence when I need him the most. God can take away your fear and strengthen your inner being. God celebrates your accomplishments and helps get you through the bumps along life’s Hi-Way. God will never forsake you, even in your darkest of hours. God is your biggest cheerleader in life. God wants you to be a person with high standards and ethics. God wants you to help everyone you meet in life who needs a shoulder to cry on or someone to help them overcome a hurdle in their life. God is there for you when you are dying. No one ever dies alone, for God is always by your side. God’s kingdom is open to all that truly repent of their sins. God offers everlasting life to all of his followers. Jesus died for our sins on the cross so that we may have eternal life in heaven. No man loves another more than to lay down his life for him. Celebrate your relationship with God and always be a good and faithful shepherd.

Hebrews 13:5

I will never leave you or forsake you.

Cats That Are Bullies

My New Cat is bullying my cat.

My cat Cali was the head cat of my other house for years. My new cat Winchester wanted to be the head cat. He would slap at Cali with his paws and upset her terribly. He then trained Mr. Gray to do the same thing he did. Cali got, so she was losing weight and did not want to eat much anymore. I tried various things to no avail to get Winchester to act like a gentleman. I locked Mr. Gray in the bathroom when he slapped Cali. Winchester knows how to open doors and had his friend Mr. Gray sprung from the toilet in about 20 minutes. Cali would eat squeeze-able tuna cat treats and not much of anything else. I took her into my house with my three gentle cats, and she has improved dramatically. She now weighs 10 lbs., She loves being in my home and sitting on my lap. She likes being a hairdresser as she rubs my head with her feet and pulls her feet through my hair like a comb. I soon put an end to that as a little of that goes a long way. She is once again a happy and healthy cat.

Separating Your Cat Bully From Your Other Cats

Suppose you can put your cat bully in another room, let him out later, and see how they interact. You can try to reintroduce your cats. Lock up the cat that is the bully in a small room in your house and let him out in about a week and see how he behaves then. You may have to keep your cats separated if all else fails. The cat that is being bullied will get stressed out, and she will stop eating, using the litter box, and more, perhaps. If we were put in a house full of strangers, all of a sudden, we would also be a bit stressed out,

Create A Calm Area Or A Pleasant Area For Your Cat To Be Alone

Cats like to lay away from the other cats in your home when they can—cats like areas that are not noisy and do not like loud noises. Place different cat beds around your house, and your cat will find them and take many relaxing cat naps in them. Cats want to have cat toys to play with as this will take their mind off of other problems they may have. We want to read a good book, watch TV, or eat when stressed out. Talk to your cats, pat them on the head often, and keep them entertained with interactive cat toys. Ensure you pay more attention to your old cat than your new cat. You do not want your senior cat to get jealous, which will cause many problems. Pat, you’re a new cat when your old cat is not watching. Be patient with your cat bully, as it will take time for him to realize that you also love him if he is jealous. I hope you and your cats will live together in perfect harmony for many years.

Be A Compassionate And caring care Giver

Be A Compassionate And Caring Care Giver

Show The Same Respect To People That You Would Like To Receive Back

When you care for someone, they have put their trust in you. Do not let them down. Never yell or scream at a sick person. They cannot help that they are ill and need help. I had a mean nurse once, and I had an accident, and she told me I better clean it up or she would hit me. She was a large woman, and I could not defend myself then, so I cleaned up the mess to the best of my ability. I reported her to the hospital when I returned home. If people would only think they may be sick themselves someday and is that the way I would want to be treated, their answer would be no. God wants us to take care of the ill and the elderly as he tends to all of his children. We must treat people kindly, fairly, compassionately, and lovingly. If you are a caregiver, tend to the person you care for correctly. If you do not treat people right, God will be your Judge someday.

What I Have Witnessed In Some Care Centers

I had a relative in a care center, and they always put the water container in a far corner where the person could not reach it. I asked an aide one day why they did that, and her answer was we do not have to take them to the bathroom as often if we do that. I told her she better moves the water where they could reach it easily. One party could not feed himself, and the worker supposed to provide for him went outdoors and smoked. I reported what I saw to the head person, but nothing changed. If you have a loved one in a care facility, ensure they have an advocate to help them. I overheard an LPN tell the RN she gave a woman the wrong pill, which ended up killing her, and she said keep your mouth shut. They will think she died of natural causes. Some care centers should have classes teaching people how to care for the sick and elderly in a compassionate, kind, loving, comforting, and peaceful way. People have feelings and needs. Treat everyone as you would want to be treated or as God would treat them.

Never Start Removing Items From Somone’s Home That Is Old, Sick Or Dying Until They Have Passed On

Some people are like hungry vultures. It is rude, crude, and cruel to start giving someone’s things away before they have passed on. One party heard her kids saying we can sell this for that much and that for this much when she dies. They will be left out in the cold of their greed if she changes her will. Once she turned ninety, one lady had her children remove things from her home. They took some of her rings and items that belonged to her husband. She asked them to return them to her. They did produce some of her things. To her surprise, one lady had her son start giving her things away to the neighbors. Do you want your children to act that way when you get sick, old, or die? I am sure your answer is no. It is like people are throwing dirt in or on your face before you are dead. Act like God would want you to act, and everyone will be treated fairly and compassionately.

Active Cats

The Hunters

I have had many excellent hunters over the years. I had one cat that kept my ditches free of all types of rodents. Once in a while, she would bring up a half-eaten gopher to show me that she was hard at work. I once had a cat that would place dead garter snakes by my back door. She was a dark-colored calico cat named Blacknose. We had Blackie, and she caught many mice over the years. Onyx was my outdoor Tom cat that hunted until his last day. I think he lived to be 19 years old. He was the father of Kohl and Conrad, my indoor house cats. Conrad knows how to drown mice in a water dish. I had a light-colored calico cat sitting atop the fence posts and pouncing down on her prey. Trisha could run down a rabbit until she was 16 years old. She would share the rabbit with her kittens. Flossie was my very first cat. She was light gray and white. Flossie hunted every morning, afternoon, and evening, and she was very successful.

The Staircase Cats

Conrad runs up and down my steps many times during the day. Cali loved exploring my house and values that she has steps to run up and down now. The house next door is the ranch house where she had been living. My Siamese cats Sugar and Ginger loved running up and down the steps. Most of the cats I have now are part Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and domestic short-hair. Sebastian loved my stairs as he would follow me everywhere. Stairs are a good way for your cat to be active and lose weight.

The Cat Gamers

Cats love to play with circle game toys that I have purchased from Chewy.com. Cats love to play with catnip mice and any cat toy filled with catnip. My cats like to get cat treats out of cat treat balls which keeps them very active, and they are rewarded with a lovely cat treat at the end. I have a battery-activated cat toy that throws a string out, and my cats go crazy trying to catch the elusive line. My cats like to play with the ball on the rope attached to my cat hammocks.

Healthy And Happy Cats Are More Active

If your cat is constantly sleeping and is not interested in anything, he is most likely sick, and you should take him to your Vet for a checkup. Cats tend to sleep often but should be active and alert between naps. Feeding the right foods to your cat will help him be more active. Do not feed your cat bones, chocolate, or alcoholic drinks; any of these could kill your cat quickly. Give your cats plenty of fresh water every day. Water helps get rid of toxins in the body that would cause your cat not to be active. Give your cat top-quality cat foods, fresh water, and regular Vet care so they will have many active, healthy, and happy years to come.

Finding Purpose And Direction In Life

No Comments on Finding Purpose And Direction In Life

All Of Us Have A Purpose To Fulfill In Our Life

God has a set purpose for us to fulfill in life from the minute we are born. God knows all of our strengths and weaknesses. Even the person that others have deemed weak has a high purpose in God’s plan for them. All it takes is one person to help spread God’s word. Other people let God into their lives by listening to that person, and soon, people are also listening to that person spreading God’s word. God’ss word is spread by people with great faith in what God can do. Sometimes it takes a disaster to bring you closer to God. You may take God for granted when things are going easy for you. God wants you to pray without ceasing and thank him often for what he has done to make your life better or complete. Friends and family do not like being taken for granted, as all relationships must be nurtured to flourish and grow. A plant cannot thrive without rich, fertile soil, sunshine, and water. Sometimes it takes a health problem to get you back on track to fulfill your purpose in life. Difficulties in life can enrich you for a better you if you ask God for daily guidance. Do not let a problem encompass you because it will empower you every single day of your life, and you will stagnate and not grow.

You must enable problems that come your way in life, and you will be able to help spread God’s word in miraculous ways. Some people do not find their true purpose in life until they are retired. Great artists and writers have been people that are retired. Retired people can teach the young what they have learned over the years. Past people have a lot. They can teach us about God’s good works. If you see a way to spread God’s good works, do it with kindness, joy, hope, peace, and love in your heart. It is never too late to become a child of God. Pray without ceasing and truly repent of your sins. None of us know the day or the time that Jesus will return to earth.

Lost My Direction In Life

When you are lost, you have an awful feeling. When you are lost, faith will guide you back. Lots of us have been driving down the road only to discover a detour. Our plans will take many detours because of health, disaster, and lack of time to accomplish everything we want to achieve in life. God will guide you to achieve the necessary things in your life. When we are lost, we ask someone to guide us back on the right road to where we want to be. We are never lost with God as he is by our side 24 hours a day. God is the potter, and you are the clay. Let God mold you into the person he wants you to be so you can follow God’s teachings. Life has many detours, but they can help you spread God’s word better because you have lived through what you are talking about.

Cali Is Now Living In My House With Three Other Cats

No Comments on Cali Is Now Living In My House With Three Other Cats

Cali Loves Living In My House

Cali already knew Garfunkel and Conrad from years ago. They accepted her right away. Kohl is an easygoing cat who does not care if a new cat is in the house. Cali did not want to let my cats go to the basement immediately. I had to tell her off that ASAP since the litter boxes are in my basement. Cali seems very happy now. Cali seemed depressed, living in the house next door suddenly. Cali is part Siamese, who used to rule the house next door. Winchester took control of the house and was not afraid to show Cali that he was the boss of the house now. Mr. Gray also learned Winchester’s ways, which were too much for Cali to bear after being in control of the house for many years. I finally devised the perfect solution to make everyone happy and content. Cali found an orange ball in the basement that she fell in love with. Cali also fell asleep on top of the cat toy box in the dining room. She was rubbing her head back and forth over all of the cat toys. The cat toys meet with her approval.

Cali Getting Used To My House

The first two days, she stayed in my basement and slept on a chair with a wool Meofia cat bed lying on the chair. On the third day, she started exploring upstairs. She looked at all the light fixtures and watched TV like she was in awe of the TV. Cali watched the Grandfather clock’s pendulum sway back and forth until she almost hypnotized herself. She kept watching the bird fly out of the cuckoo clock. Today she discovered the stairsteps going upstairs, and she has developed an exercise routine now. She sat in my lap, licked my hand, and purred away to beat the band. She loves to sleep on a chair in the kitchen and sit on top of a desk where she can watch all of the action.

Cali Is A Very Happy Cat Now

She touched noses with Garfunkel this morning. Last night she and Conrad curled up together in a giant cat bed upstairs. She ate some tuna canned water with my other cats on Christmas day. Last night she ate some chicken left over from Christmas dinner. She seems happy that my house has steps to run up and down. This morning she explored the bathroom and realized the bathtub had water in it, and she ran away in a hurry. I am sure it was the first time she had seen a bathtub with water in it. Her original home had a shower in it. A young couple had her, and they were having a baby and could not afford to keep her with their other two cats. I adopted her at 12 months old, give or take. Cali is 10.5 years old now. I hope she has many more happy and healthy years ahead of her.

Cat Christmas Presents

For The Outdoor Cats

Give your outdoor cats the gift of a K And H heated cat bed from Chewy.Com. Outdoor cats will also love a heated water bowl. You can put a small infrared heater in a small building to keep your cats nice and cozy all winter. Give your outdoor cats extra food and treats to help them maintain their body temperature. Put a fresh straw in some old metal chicken nest or a small dog house for your cats to cuddle up. Ensure your cats are out of any areas that may be drafty and cold, as they may get sick and die. Cats need an enclosed space to keep from freezing their pads or the tips of their ears. Give your cat the gift of health by scheduling a Vet visit. Outdoor cats can live longer if they are well cared for.

Indoor Cat Presents

Buy your cat an indoor heated cat bed or windowsill sill cat bed from Chewy.Com to keep them extra cozy in your home. Cats like to sleep on cat blankets made for cats as they are plush and soft. Give your cat toy mice, balls, singing birds, circle game toys, crinkle balls, small stuffed toy animals, and much more. All cats like special Holiday time cat treats from Chewy.Com. Buy cat combs, brushes, and gloves that help remove loose cat hair from your pet cat. My cat next door loves to curl up in plush bath towels. I buy several new large bath towels yearly for my cat next door. Buy your cat a heated outdoor cat bed if he is getting older, as it will help with his arthritis—some cats like an exercise wheel from OneFastCat.Com. Keep your indoor cat healthy by keeping up on their yearly Vet visits and keeping all their shots up to date. I love my Litter Robots as I do not have to scoop up used kitty litter. Buy your cat a new litter box for Christmas and food dishes.

Please give them a gift certificate from a pet store. Give them some cat treats for their cat. Pay for one of their visits to their vet for their cat’s health. Buy a cozy cat bed for their cat that can be washed in the washing machine. Buy some cat toys for their cats, as many online pet stores sell boxes of cat toys for a cat. You may want to give them a new kitten if they wish to have another cat. Suppose they are new to having cats. Give them some good books on caring for a new kitten or cat in your home. You could provide them with a starter kit for a new cat, such as a litter box, cat bed, grooming tools, cat toys, dishes, cat treats, cat food, and more. Merry Christmas to you and your cat family.

First Class Service

We Want First-Class Service From A Business

When I purchase an appliance from a store, I expect them to service and take care of my product after the sale. If you buy a device from a discount warehouse, you are on your own after the sale. Be careful as to where your device is genuinely made. I purchased a stove proudly made in the USA, only to discover later that all the parts are made in China. I had to wait three months for my details to come. I hated being without my oven for three whole months. My refrigerator gave out in December, and I have still not received my new refrigerator because of Covid 19. My refrigerator did finally come on the last day of August.

The appliance stores cannot get in most new appliances or parts to fix them. The stores are trying their best, so be extra patient with them. Someone, I know, a man that purchased a used car, and they told them to get it serviced someplace else because they were busy. Suppose they said they would lose all of my business for good. Years ago, my Father purchased a truck from a dealer, and the serviceman said here is the wrench. Fix it yourself. We never bought another vehicle there. Businesses must remember that the customer is always right and try to make the customer happy and satisfied at the time of the sale and after the sale with top-quality service. Having unhappy customers can close the doors of a business in a hurry, as word of mouth travels quickly, and many people read social media platforms. If we cannot eat the food served in a restaurant for some reason, we want a refund or a different meal. If a business does not take care of its customers very soon, they have no customers to take care of. Treat your customers like family; they will tell everyone they know to come to your place of business.

Traveling And Accommodations

When we travel, we want to fly on a plane with clean trays, which are not noisy. When we hire a taxi, we want a courteous driver that knows his way around the city and the countryside. If we take a bus tour, we want a bus driver that is very knowledgeable about the historic areas of the town and mentions all the places of importance to us. One tour group had a bus driver who drank on the job and was very obnoxious. I was glad we did not have him. We felt very sorry for his tour group since he did not tell them anything meaningful about the area. I want a hotel room that is extra clean with fresh, clean linens and towels. We once stayed at a cottage with worn-out yellow sheets and towels that were like sandpaper. Her cat slipped through the door and was wet on the floor. She did clean that up, luckily. The townspeople highly recommended her place. I would never stay there again, no matter what. Look at your hotel rooms before paying for them, if possible.

Treat Your Customers Like Royalty

Provide top-notch quality service to all of your customers regularly. First-class service should be given. A happy customer is a customer for life who will bring more lifetime customers to your door for years. Enjoy and take pride in your First Class Service quality business for many years, and you will get rave reviews.
