3 Comments on Farm Cats Versus House Cats

Farm cats live outdoors in a barn or another building. My cats live in a facility my Father made for cats to live in. My cats have heated houses to sleep in during the winter months and a heated stainless steel water dish. Many farm cats curl up in straw in a barn in winter to keep warm. Farm cats catch mice, birds, rats, and rabbits for part of their food intake. Farmers feed their cats dry cat food and wet canned cat food. My outdoor cats are good at catching pigeons and killing mice found in the field and the ditches. Some farm cats can be pretty wild if they have not had a lot of contact with humans in their life. Some feral cats that I have adopted have always been fantastic. I take my farm cats to the vet just like I take my house cats to the vet.

House cats are always lovely and warm in the winter months. My house cats have lots of toys to play with. My cats sleep with me or on the floor beside my bed. Sometimes I find Kohl sleeping in my recliner downstairs in the living room. Conrad likes to sleep in a platform rocker I have in the living room. Garfunkel always sleeps next to me in my bed at night. House cats get spoiled with cat treats and lots of toys to play with. My house cats love to watch birds from the ledge of my picture window. My cat’s next door have heated beds to sleep in in the winter months. They also have heated window sill benches to sleep on. My house cats are very loving and sweet cats.

2 Comments on Should I Let My Cat Sleep in Bed With Me ?

I started with one house cat and am now up to three house cats. I let my cats sleep in bed with me. My cats generally go to a particular area of my bed and make themselves comfortable all night.

Some people say you will not get a good night’s sleep by having your pets sleep in bed with you. I locked my cats out of my bedroom at night to see if it made any difference in my sleep pattern. I found out that I slept less without my cats in my bed.

Cats are very relaxing to be around. They can calm you down at night. They will purr away while you pat them on their head. Seeing them rest peacefully puts you in that same frame of mind.

In the summertime, you may get too warm in bed with your cat beside you. I move my cats over to the foot of my bed, and we are both comfortable for the night.

I have a three-cat night in the winter instead of a three-dog night; one of my cats will lie on my left side, one by my right side, and one at the foot of my bed. All of us are nice and cozy on a long winter’s night.

Cats can be a good alarm clock in the morning. I once had a Siamese cat that would wake me at precisely 6:00 AM every morning. I never overslept when I had her.

In the morning, my cats will get up and run up and down my steps; when they get up, I generally get up and start my day along with them.

You decide if you want your cat to sleep in bed with you. They have a nice calming and relaxing effect for the perfect night’s sleep.

2 Comments on Tom Cats and Their Own Kittens

My Tom cat Peter is an excellent father. Peter loves to watch his kittens play. He lets the kittens play with his tail now and then.

I have watched Peter looking at his kittens. One day, he sat on the floor staring at his kittens as if he could not believe they were his ones. Peter will sit on a high shelf and watch his kittens play until he falls asleep. Peter will wrestle gently with his kittens. I have seen him with his paw wrapped around one of his kittens.

Hilford and Sherlock love to hide back a piece of plywood with their father, Peter. He is never mean to his kittens. Peter never growls or hits his kittens with his paws. He is a very kind and loving father. Sherlock was scratching the scratching post one morning, and Peter joined in.

If Peter thinks his kittens are not behaving correctly, he will step in the middle of their disagreements and break up any harmful interactions between his kittens. Mr. Gray likes to wrestle with his father. Peter always plays with him gently and kindly.

Peter loves to be up on a shelf or cat bed shelf or lying back on his piece of plywood. Peters’s mother was timid, and Peter took after her. Mr. Gray is very outgoing and playful. Hilford and Sherlock are very shy, like their father.

I gave Leo and Cleo away to a very loving and caring home. They were more outgoing and playful than their mother, Addy. Leo and Cleo like to sit up on something high as their father does.

Peter worships his kittens, and he watches over them every day. His kittens love to take a nap next to him. I will find them with their paws wrapped around each other in total comfort.

Benefits of Having a Cat Life in the Day of a Cat

Life in the Day of a Cat

My cats start their mornings by giving me fresh water and cat food. I then clean out their litter boxes. They always drink the fresh water that I have put out for them. My cats eat some of their cat food. The cats then run upstairs and look out of my picture window at the birds eating from my various bird feeders. Conrad and Kohl look through their cat toy box and select the toy of interest for the day to play with. They consistently choose at least one toy that is filled with catnip. They will throw the catnip toy up in the air and then lick it later. They take turns sitting on my lap later on in the day.

My cat family next door starts their day with fresh water and food and clean cat litter boxes. Lorenzo constantly licks my hand every morning after I clean out the litter box. The kittens play with their Mother’s tail and the various cat toys in the house. The adult cats love to sit on the windowsill cat beds and watch the world go by. All of my cats like the cat scratching post combination cat beds. They love to chase each other playfully throughout the house. When I check on them throughout the day, they are generally lying on one of the cat beds and looking outdoors at nature. I give them cat treats and canned cat food as an afternoon snack. I hold them, pat them on their heads, and scratch them under their chins. My cat Russ enjoys being in his enclosed Cat Playpen.

My outdoor cats start their mornings with an early morning hunt. They like to hunt in the ditches and the cornfield for mice. My outdoor cats are all good mousers. I give them fresh water and cat food in the morning. I will find them lying in the shade and relaxing on a hot day. When I have had outdoor kittens, they love to play with leaves that blow around in the wind. In the winter months, they sleep in their heated cat beds. They always have water to drink in the winter with their heated water bowl for pets. They have some tennis balls to bat around in their building.

I hope you and your cat have a wonderful and lovely day.
