Flossie My First Cat

My Grandfather found Flossie in our field as a tiny kitten. My Father was holding Flossie the first time I saw her. I developed a deep love for cats the moment my eyes first looked into the eyes of a cat. Flossie lived in the barn that we had at that time.

Flossie would follow me all over the farm. She would sit next to me when I swung in my swing set. She would purr away when I held her and patted her head. She loved to rub against my legs. Flossie kept me company while I waited for the school bus in the morning. She was a constant and loving feline companion. Everywhere that I went on the farm, Flossie was sure to follow.

Flossie was a beautiful gray and white bi-colored cat. She had many kittens over the years. Blacknose was one of Flossie’s first kittens. I would hold Blacknose on my lap while I rode my tricycle. She was a beautiful Calico cat. Sprite was one of Flossie’s kittens. She was a yellow tabby cat with the same loving disposition as her mother.

Flossie would run up to the house with her extended family when we would feed our cats in the morning. We now had a cat population of ten cats. When I would wait for the school bus in the morning, I had quite a gathering of cats waiting with me. I would pat each of them on the head while I waited patiently for the school bus to arrive. Some of my cats would run up to me when I got off the school bus after school.

Flossie and her family gave me a lot of love and attention, and I gave them love and attention in return. Flossie died out in the field where my Father was working one day. She is buried on my farm. Your first cat and other cats to come will fill your life with love, joy, happiness, peace, and contentment.

Should I give My Cats Shots for Diseases ?

No Comments on Should I Give My Cats Shots for Diseases ?

All of my cats receive their yearly shots. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I live by this saying when it comes to my feline friends.

Distemper shots will save your kitten or cat from suffering or dying from a horrible disease. Years ago, some of our farm kittens got distemper. The kittens would have terrible coughs and diarrhea, and runny eyes. A few lucky kittens with an excellent immune systems would survive.

Even if your cat is always indoors, I recommend a Rabies shot. A rabid bat may enter your house. Bats can come into your house at any time. A bat may enter your home when you put a new roof on your house. A bat may land on your clothing; when you walk into your house, the bat comes with you. Bats are a high carrier of rabies. If your cat comes into contact with the bat, your cat could get rabies from the bat. You would not want to get rabies and go through all of the painful shots humans have to have for rabies.

Feline leukemia can be prevented with shots. I would highly recommend a trial for feline leukemia.

Make sure you ask your vet about Heartworm prevention for your cat. Your cat’ss heart can be completelyremovedr with Heartworms without proper prevention.

Take your kitten or cat to your vet and have him give your cat all of its necessary shots. Make sure you keep all of your cat’s photos up to date. Please keep a record book for each cat in your household and keep it current. By keeping a record of each cat, you will not miss any of their necessary yearly shots.

I hope your cat stays healthy and does not die from any of the mentioned diseases.

Outdoor Cat Building

My Father made a building for my outdoor cats. He built the structure for my cats because he knew how much I loved cats.

The building is made with two by 4’s and outdoor plywood. The cat building is insulated and is set on skids, so it does not touch the ground. There is a shelf in the building that my cats can sit on. One side of the building has an old chicken nest filled with fresh straw for my cats to sleep in. I have a shelf by the window in the building that is a good place for my cats to take a sun bath while they lay there. I have a heated stainless steel water dish for my cats in winter. There is an enclosed heated cat bed for my cats to get cozy during cold winter nights. I also have a heated mat with a cover over it.

The original cat flap wore out over the years. I made a new opening out of a piece of plywood. I took a large coffee can and marked around it on the part of plywood. I used a jigsaw to cut out the opening on the piece of plywood.

Raccoons were eating up my cat food. A friend told me how to make the opening raccoon-proof. I took several pieces of ductwork for a furnace and fastened them together at different angles. The raccoons cannot maneuver the different angles and, therefore, cannot get in my cat building anymore to eat up all my cat food in the middle of the night.

I put an oil stain on my cat building yearly to protect the plywood from the elements. My outdoor cats love the building my Father so kindly made for them. I hope your cats have an excellent facility to stay safe and cozy.

Siamese Temperment

I had a purebred Seal Point Siamese female cat. Her name was Sugar; she did not live up to her name.

Sugar was very moody. You could be patting Sugar on her head, and suddenly, she would give you a dirty look. She would look at you like she wanted to scratch your face up. I would place her on the carpet until her mood eventually changed. The next time I picked her up, she would purr away gently and be quite contented.

She did not like other cats. I let her outside one day, and she attacked one of my outdoor cats. My outdoor cat was injured badly. My outdoor Tom cat thought she was attractive, and he followed her everywhere. Sugar turned around one day and scratched him up. He never gave her another look after that.

Sugar was a very jealous cat. She wanted your attention all of the time. My Mother was working on genealogy one day. Sugar thought she was being neglected. Sugar saw my Mother’s papers lying out on the couch. Sugar ate the corners of each piece of paper. If that was not bad enough, she ate off the corner of a brand-new road atlas. After that episode, Sugar and I was in the dog house for a while.

I bought a sickly kitten in the house. Sugar took pity on the kitten and was very loving toward him. He was the only cat she ever liked in her life.

Sugar had grown up around birds. I had a pet parakeet by the name of Perry. She would lie on the bed and listen to Perry sing most of the day. When my parakeet died from old age, Sugar was heartbroken.

I loved Sugar very much, even if she was moody; none of us are perfect individuals.

Cats and Children

Adopting a kitten or a cat for your child is a good learning experience for them.

They will learn how to care for and love one of God’s creatures. They say that children who grow up treating pets fairly will treat humans equally. Children that mistreat pets will treat adults the same.

Teach your child how to hold his new kitten. If the kitten is born wrong, it will scratch him. Cats have a calming effect on children and adults. Please have your child feed his new kitten and give it fresh water daily. Teach him how to brush the kitten.

If you have a naturally gentle kitten, it might not mind wearing doll clothes. A child will have many hours of fun playing with a cat. Cats love to chase balls and play with feathers on the end of a stick.

Your child will have a cat for the whole time they live with you. Most of my cats have lived in my house from ten to eighteen years old.

A child with a pet generally does better in school. They have learned how to take responsibility by caring for their pet.

His kitten will help him when he has a bad day. The kitten will sit on his lap and purr away. I will play games with him. The kitten will take his mind off of his troubles. Cats are not judgmental and do not talk back to you. He can talk to his cat. They are good listeners. When he feels sick, the cat will lay by his side and keep him company.

Cats are great first-time pets for a child. My first pet was a cat. I developed a deep love for cats and other pets by having a cat.

I hope your child has a lifelong love for cats and other pets.

Taking Care of Your Pregnant Cat and Her Nursing Kittens

1 Comment on Taking Care of Your Pregnant Cat and Her Nursing Kittens

Ensure you take your pregnant cat to your vet to ensure she and her kittens are well. Keep your pregnant cat in a safe and warm area.

When I have a pregnant cat, I give her extra vitamins and food supplements in her daily diet. I also started giving her powdered milk mixed with water. I provide the pregnant cat with fancy cat food or tuna canned in water. I want her to be in prime condition before she gives birth to her kittens.

Make up a clean area for her to have her kittens in. A box with old towels or blankets in it works well. Outdoor cats, a place enclosed with fresh hay or straw. You will want the kittens to stay warm and dry after birth to prevent sickness later.

Kittens are born 63 days after their parents mating. Your Mother cat will generally have one to eight kittens in her litter. Once your female cat gets to be sixteen years old, she stops having kittens. Several days before giving birth, your Mother cat will be very restless. She will go to the box where she will have her kittens and rearrange the towels. It generally takes three hours to one full day for her to have all of her kittens. If you notice your cat having trouble giving birth, call your vet ASAP.

After the kittens are born, I still give my Mother cat extra fancy food and powdered milk mixed with water. You want to keep her extra healthy since she is losing nutrients when her kittens nurse her. If she is healthy, her kittens will most likely also be beneficial.

Some of my Mother’s cats have had their breast get raw and bitten by their kittens. I place a small round bandage over the natural breast until it looks healed. Your Mother cat will feel much better by you putting the application on her injured breast.

I hope your cat has a healthy litter of kittens. Remember to give your kittens all of their necessary shots at your vet.
