Another Poem By Me:

What I Like About Cats

I like it when cats purr,

and when I pet there soft fur.

They are so cute!

I like it when they meow for milk,

they look like they are tasting soft white silk.

I like they way they walk,

sometimes I wish they could talk!

They meow so softly!

I like it when they stretch out,

they have to wiggle their snout!

Your purrfect!

Thanks for listening!

Info on Cats: Road Trip

This time on INFO ON CATS: ROAD TRIP we will talk about how you can have a nice trip with your cat in the car. First, you must know that cats hate the car period:[ But you can still bring your cat in the car. I bring my cat in the car sometimes when going to the vet or to my Grandmother's house. Once when I brought my cat in the car he was meowing very loudly and was falling onto the ground all the time! What you can do to prevent that from happening is putting the cat in the front seat lying down, because if the owner is beside the cat, the cat will feel safe. You must also pet the cat once in a while and talk to the cat very softly to make the cat calm down. You must also keep an eye out for paw prints on the windows, if you see that the cat is getting too hot from falling and meowing, you must calm him down. For my opinion, make a car seat that is removable so the cat will not walk about the car too much. Hope this was helpful. If you need more info, just comment! ☺

Info on Cat's: Summer Days

This time on INFO ON CATS: SUMMER DAYS, we will be talking about how you can protect your cat from fleas and other harmful things and how you can have a great summer with your furry friend. Is your cat an outdoors cat? If so, reading this blog will help you prevent your cat from catching harmful things to you and the cat. Before you even think about putting your cat outside, you must, absolutely must put on flea repellent on the cat. You buy some from the store and put it on the cat in between the shoulder blades. Then you can let it outside. The reason? Cats will catch just about anything in there fur unless it is a short haired cat. But still. The worst thing to catch in the cat fur, is fleas, the cat will pass it on to the owner and the owner won't even know that he/she has fleas! So make sure you put that on your 'to do' list this week. You must also get the cat's vaccine tag put onto that collar of his. No collar, no cat. Without a collar your cat could be in danger when roaming the streets. Someone could call the animal shelter or could take him to another home for keeps! No one wants that to happen to there pet. You must also brush the cat every time it comes back inside so you can take out what shouldn't be in there like twigs or dirt etc. To enjoy all day long with your cat, put his food and water bowl outside and get a lawn chair, he will sleep on that hot chair all day long and can keep you company while you are fixing the garden. Hope the summer will be fun for you and your fuzzy-wuzzy friend! ☺

Info on Cats: Healthy Hug

Today we will talk about the healthy hug. The Healthy hug is actually a message that soothes the cat and releases stress from the cat. It also enhances the cat owner relationship. Make sure you and the cat are in a comfortable place and make sure the cat has a bowl of water near by. Do not do the massage if the cat is injured or has an open wound or bruises, the message will not have the same affect. Here are some instructions:

Effleurage

Effleurage is a gentle, long stroke, which helps to warm the tissue. The amount of pressure applied to the animal is about 5 grams to a pound. This is a very, very light touch. One hand is on the pet at all time, while the other hand slowly slides down over the face, head, body, tail and outside of the legs. Make sure to go in the direction of the hair growth.Next, gently stroke up the inside of the legs, against the hair growth. With hand over hand efflurage, one hand starts a stroke as the other hand ends a stroke. This leaves one hand connected to the animal at all times. Centripetal efflurage is a circle motion toward the heart. Be careful not to pull the hair. Do not touch areas of infection, open wounds or lumps.

Passive Touch

When passive touch is applied, it is done with no pressure at all. Your hand is held on a muscle group only. A hand is held on the head, shoulder, along the side or the thigh and hip. This is done for a few moments. It will produce calmness, and help to relieve some pain. Your pet will be comforted by this weightless touch. Passive touch can be done anytime. Again, areas of infection, bony areas, open wounds and lumps are not touched.

The benefits from massage are many:

Increased flexibility

A general sense of wellness

Reduction of pain

Increased circulation

Calmness

Info on Cats: Dinner Time!

This time on INFO ON CATS: DINNER TIME! We will talk about what you should get for your cats and what you should know about different types of bowls. What kind of questions race through your mind as you scan the aisles of the Pet Store? What food is best for my cat? What bowl is better? What are the ingredients in all theses different types of pet food? Well let's start with, what food is best for my cat? Well, I prefer all organic pet food, it is healthier and has a very less chance of being harmfull. But what type of bowl? Metal sounds good. Metal, bad choice! Animals are always eating out of metal food bowls and breaking all their teeth. You don't want that. Try porcelin, it's better. What ingredients are bad? Always check, some food has plastic and trust me, you do not want your cat or dog for that matter to eat bowls of plastic. Hope this was helpful, please read my next article, HOW TO DO A "HEALTHY HUG" FOR CATS AND DOGS. ☺
