Cat Tales with Laura and Inspirations with Laura

Trust

Trust means that we have confidence in someone. Suppose we confide in someone; we trust them with private, personal, or financial information. Faith is not given quickly, as it takes time to win someone’s trust. If confidence is broken, the trust between the two parties is also broken. It takes a very long time to earn someone’s trust back.

To have faith in a person, we also trust that person. God believes that we will strive to do the right things in life. God has given us the ten commandments about how he wants us to live. As God’s children, we trust in God as he has always been by our side.

Hope is a form of trust. We hope for good health, weather, friends, and more. Without hope for a bright tomorrow, you are lost. We trust that the sun will appear in the morning and set at night. Our trust in God and his trust in us is a beautiful gift of love and hope that keeps us going and doing good things with our lives while we are on earth.

The old lyrics ” trust and obey for there’s no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” To be happy in any relationship, there has to be trust. Without trust, you cannot form lifelong ties with someone. Blessed be the tie that binds is a Christian fellowship or shared belief. Trust is essential to a link between God and fellow Christians. United, we stood, and divided, we fell. Christians must unite for a common cause and worship and praise God together for all the blessings and great joys he has given to us. In God, we trust today and into eternity.

Taking Care Of Your Cat When He Is Outdoors

No Comments on Taking Care Of Your Cat When He Is Outdoors

If you let your cat outdoors and he is declawed, he is helpless as far as defending himself against any animal that might wish to attack and kill him. Watch for stray animals that might suddenly appear and try to harm your cat.

Safety measures you can use to protect your feline friend.

Walk your cat on a leach especially designed for cats as most cats do not like to be on a leash. Place your cat in a cat playpen on a deck out of the direct intense sun. Check on your cat often and ensure he is not too warm and has plenty of water to drink. Put flea protection on your cat that is vet approved. Please make sure all of his shots are up to date.

Our ever-changing weather.

In the winter months, frostbite can happen in a hurry. Sometimes the tips of a cat’s ear have been frozen, and the ends fall off. Never leave any pet in a car in the summer or winter months unless you are in the car. The temperature in the vehicle can change very quickly, resulting in the death of your cat.

Watch what your cat is eating.

Your cat could eat a plant that is deadly for cats outdoors. Your cat could vomit or have convulsions from eating a fatal plant. Call your vet ASAP if your cat is acting sick after being outdoors. Do not let your cat get near automotive oil, gas, deck cleaner, pest killers, paint, and more. Once a poison is injected, it might be too late to save your cat’s life.

Your cat depends on you for his protection.

Be aware of your cat’s surroundings, as things can change quickly. Keep up to date with your cat’s health. Keep toxic chemicals locked away. Be a good steward in caring for your cat.

Why Envy People

We should be glad for people that have achieved their lifelong dream. We do not know what they have been through to get where they are today. We should never be resentful of another’s good fortune or achievement.

If you feel pain at seeing another’s good fortune or achievement, you are not happy for them. As good Christians, we should be satisfied with everyone’s good luck. Achievements do not just get handed to one on a silver platter. People work hard for their accomplishments.

Envy is destructive when you are not satisfied with your friend’s accomplishments. Jealousy is good if you long for something and work hard to earn the item you desire. Praise people for their achievements and do not resent them.

If you want another person’s possessions, think twice about that. Maybe their possessions have weighed them down and consumed their whole life. Owning something does not make you happy. Friends and family make you happy. Controls wear out and get sold.

If someone you know has a desirable attribute, consider how to become more like them and not resent them. Strive to be the kind of person that God wants you to be. Be helpful, kind, compassionate, caring, loving, peaceful, hopeful, joyful, faithful, and a good steward of God for every chance you give.

I am happy when I see someone achieve their lifelong dream. Reach for the stars in the heavens, as they will bring you to new heights. Share your good fortunes with others. Use your achievement to benefit humanity.

God is faithful, forgiving, and kind to all of humanity. God is overjoyed at all of our accomplishments and achievements in life. God wants his flock to do well on earth and share our achievements with others for the benefit of all. Do not be boastful. Give and never expect anything in return. Be gracious and thankful for all of the blessings in your life and pass them along to others.

My Indoor Cats get Bored During Bad Weather

No Comments on My Indoor Cats Get Bored During Bad Weather

My indoor cats tend to sleep more in bad weather and are not energetic. They tend to sleep in my bed or their little heated cat beds. Conrad sleeps in his recliner, which I purchased for myself, but he has made himself home in it. Kohl sleeps on my bed most of the day. Garfunkel sleeps on my bed or in a cat bed.

My cats try to watch the birds, but it isn’t easy when snow covers most of my picture window. They take turns watching the birds, which reasonably works well for them. I struggle to fill the bird feeders with four-foot drifts to walk through.

My indoor cats tend to eat more during winter because they are bored. Kohl makes quite a few trips to his food bowl. My cats play with their cat toys but get tired of playing with the wind howling and blowing. I buy many new cat toys for my cats to play with as the weather gets colder. They love toys filled with catnip and circle toys with a ball in the center to bat around. They never get tired of the circle toys or catnip toys for cats.

My cat’s next door sleep in their heated cat beds and plays with some catnip toys they take to bed with them for the night. They like to share their cat buildings with as many cats as they will hold, as their body heat keeps them all nice and warm with that method.

My cat next door goes through the cat food in winter. I supply them with canned cat food almost daily, along with their dry cat food; I also give them lots of cat treats they enjoy. They greet me at the door every morning, wondering what treats they will have for the day.

My cats get fresh water daily, cat food, litter boxes cleaned out, and a loving pat on their head. Treat your feline friends to many fine cat treats during the winter months.

The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much he left Everything Else Behind

The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much He Left Everything Else Behind

No Comments on The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much He Left Everything Else Behind

There was a man so obsessed with making money that he ignored that his family was falling apart. His children had many problems that an excellent, caring Father could have helped them with if he was only there for them. He was humble and did not put on Aires, but his money came before everything or anybody else.

He did not spend quality time with his wife or family. He walked by a man wanting food when he came out of a restaurant with a to-go box full of leftovers. He ignored the needs of his church family and what God wanted him to do with his life. He never traveled, and he never took time to relax. He hardly ever talked to people unless it was his financial adviser.

Time kept marching on, and he still made no changes. His children now had their children. He did not spend time with his Grandchildren. He was obsessed that he might not have enough money for a rest home in his old age. He worked and toiled away endlessly. One day his body gave out, and he finally turned to God for help. He began to see the errors of his ways. He realized he had ignored the cries of the needy, his family, friends, church family, and God.

He began to see what he had been missing out on in life. He was missing out on being loved and adored by his family. He had missed out on the beauty of nature and what God was calling upon him to do with his life that would help others.

The man who had worshiped money now worshiped God and family and friends. He now gave freely to the cries of the needy. He found out it is better to give than to receive. Money did not buy him happiness. It almost robbed him of everything essential in life.

It takes a disaster or a near-death experience to wake some people up to what is truly important in life. Life is meaningless without love from family, friends, and God. Money does not buy happiness or friends. Money can be the root of all evil if you worship it before you worship God. Do not let money consume or devour your life. Give freely to worthwhile charities and help as many people as possible while on earth. God bless a joyful giver.

Cats Are very Compassionate

No Comments on Cats Are Very Compassionate

Cats know when you are not feeling well. My cats will lay by my side and gently purr away. I have three house cats, who take turns watching over me when I am under the weather. When one cat leaves for a while, another quickly fills the empty spot.

Cats have compassion for one another. If one cat is not feeling up to Parr, another cat will lie down as close as possible to his sick friend. Female cats will help care for each other’s kittens. I observed one female cat catching a mouse to feed another female cat’s kittens.

Cats have been known to nurse baby puppies, opossums, ferrets, and other small animals. One cat had adopted three baby squirrels that she raised and her four kittens. Cats have been burned badly in a fire trying to save all of their kittens. Unfortunately, many cats have awakened their owners to let them know there is a fire in their house, only to succumb to the fire themselves. Cats have alerted their owners to gas leaks and much more.

Cats will lie next to people dying in a rest home. It is the cat’s way of comforting them in their final moments. When my Mother died, my Siamese cat Sugar would sit on the bathtub’s edge and cry out or wail for one straight week. She remembered my Mother would buy cat food for her and other goodies and take her to her vet visits when she was sick.

I had one cat raised in a vet’s office, and rodents were not to be killed as they were someone’s pets. My other cat saw a mouse and intended to have brunch. My cat, raised in the vet’s office, embraced the mouse by encircling it with his feet. My other cat was in shock, thinking, Isn’t we supposed to kill those?

Cats care for their owners very much, and we care for our feline friends very much. Cats show compassion for each other and other animals. Cats comfort those in need of comfort and show great empathy.

Worry

Worrying about things robs you of a day or more of your life. Worrying over anything will not change the results of the outcome. Do not sweat the small stuff in life, as it is not worth your time or effort.

The worry wart worried all day long, and he never made a difference in his life or the lives of others while he feared away his valuable time on earth. God knows our worries and troubles and will take care of them in good time. Trust in the Lord, for his love for you is constant and never ceasing.

Always put your best foot forward, and you will always be one of God’s good stewards. Do not worry, for God will heal or help you along lives HWY. Remember not to worry, for things will work out.

Do not give in to anxiety or allow your mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. Talk to people and realize others have gone through what you have gone through or worse. When you have doubts about the outcome of a situation, try to avoid that situation. If you cannot prevent a problem, ask others for help and pray to God for the help you need.

Do not stay in a state of uncertainty over actual or potential problems. A potential problem is a problem that has not occurred or may never occur. Do not cry over milk that has been spilled, as it can constantly be replenished. Do not make a mountain out of an ant hill. Keep busy with friends, travel, hobbies, reading, and enjoying nature, and live every day to its full potential with no worries. God knows everything you think about every minute of your life and will carry your concerns away. God will lead the way for a better and new tomorrow for you and yours. Go out and live your life as God wants you to. Remember, God is always by your side or holding your hand.

How To Keep Your Cat Lean

No Comments on How To Keep Your Cat Lean

Keeping a lean cat can be difficult. Ensure you have plenty of toys for your cat to play with and run after. My cats love running up and down my stairs, which is excellent exercise. Interact with your cat by throwing a toy mouse or ball they can run after.

Many cats love to indulge in food at night, which tacks on the pounds quickly. If your cat is nighttime gluten, take his food away at night. Never give your cats more snacks than what is recommended on the package. Please do not feed your cat wet cat food during the day and then let him eat all the dry food he wants at night. Give your cat a well-balanced meal daily, as consistency is essential in maintaining weight.

Cats sleep more than half of their life away, so they do not get a lot of exercise in one day. I have some snack balls in which I put my cat snacks, and my cats have to bat the ball around to get their snacks. I have a fish on a string cat toy that my cats leap up in the air trying to get the catnip fish on the end of the string.

If your cat is morbidly obese, feed them particular weight-control cat food. There are many different brands of weight-control cat food to choose from. Your local vet can recommend how to resolve your feline friend’s weight problem.

I am considering buying an exercise cat wheel for my cats to run around on, as it is like a treadmill for humans. They look like they are pretty easy to assemble. You tube videos of people and cats using the exercise wheel seem very impressive.

No Comments on The Calming Effect Of Cats

Cats are there for you when you come home from a hard work day. Your cat sits on your lap, purrs gently, and licks your hand. Your cat is relaxed, and you feel more flexible with your cat’s presence.

Cats love to play with toy mice and balls and catnip toys. Watching your cat play with his favorite toys is fun and calming. Cats are full of adventure, and their various antics make our faces smile. Cats can sleep in the oddest positions. Garfunkel was sleeping on my refrigerator with his paws over his eyes to keep out the morning light. Conrad loves to sleep in a recliner with his long feet and paws hanging over the side. Kohl sleeps in a heated cat bed and snores away. Garfunkel also sleeps in a thermal bed, and Conrad likes a Meowfia cave bed that women in Africa make.

Calming Effects Of Cats

Being around cats lowers your blood pressure and relieves stress and anxiety from your day. Cats show you unconditional love and companionship. Cats seem to know when you are sick and lay beside you and comfort you to the best of their ability.

Cats Are very Loving Animals.

Cats are very caring creatures. Cats will look at you lovingly and with soulful eyes. Your cat will never judge you or complain about unnecessary things. Cats are compassionate about helping out other pets also. My cats were best friends with a pet goat that I once had. My cats and the goat would sleep together in a large dog house. I once had a small dog that would share her home with one of my cats and all her kittens, and they would even go hunting together. My small dog would babysit my cat’s kittens if she wanted to leave for a little while.

You Have Better Health With A Pet In Your Life

It has been proven that people that have pets have fewer health problems and live longer because of the calming effects that pets have in our lives. A hectic day became wonderful once I came home to my beloved cat.
