Baby Kittens

Discovered this afternoon there are 4 fluffy kittens living under my shed with mommy cat. Mommy cat is a small Orange tabby I have been calling Goldie. She has been hanging around since the winter, she is barely a year old. I believe this is her first litter.

I was looking out the storm door today and up pops a cute furry head. I looked again there was another wondering where they came from. I began watching these two babies bounce, roll and chase each other. I smiled at them as they played. I began looking around another little head popped up and another. These tiny fur balls were running and bouncing all over the front porch. I simply could not get over the fact that my Goldie had 4 kittens. She was keeping a watchful eye on them.

Watching them grow will be lots of fun. Everything new that looks interesting they no doubt will have to chase. Cats and kittens are a joy to watch.

Cats need a specific diet plan

Two things you must know if you want your cat to live.

1. Commerical cat food can not only cause kidney disease symptoms, but can make your cat worse and eventually kill your sweet kitty.

2. Commerical cat food is nothing more than leftover parts from slaughter houses. It's not the food we eat (which is safely regulated by the FDA).

When cows are slaughtered, in a slaughter house, many parts from cows can not legally be sold to us because they are not safe for humans.

But why let all of that go to waste? There's money to be made. It can not be legally be sold to humans, it CAN legally be sold to the cat food industry!!

The legal definition for this JUNK is called "meat-by-products". One of my earlier blogs I addressed meat-by-products.

Instead of letting all this leftover junk go to waste, at the end of the day all these harmful animal parts...are thrown into a barrel and left to sit until it is ready to be shipped to cat food manufacturers.

Then it is mixed up and broken down into "processed meat" that is later put on the shelves of food stores and sold as good ole faashioned cat food.

Some of the nasty stuff could include but not limited to aborted fetuses (from cows), urine, feces, infected livers, tumors, infected kidneys, infected hearts, limbs and the list goes on.

Is it any wonder why our cats are not healthy and getting sick where they need to be taken to the vet, or contracting some disease.

Just writing this article makes me ill to think I use to feed my own cats that trash. Want your cat to live a longer healthy life?? Go to www.kittycatorganics.com to discover what I found.

Cats Ae Trainable-no joke

Most people may feel a cat can not be trained, because of their attitudes.
Cats can be silly, funny and just a lot of fun. Reptition and patience are keys to training your cat. Just figure out what your cat will work for. this is a start. Decide what you want to teach your cat and keep the sessions short, no more than 5 minutes and varied. Cats get bored easily. Go for it and see what fun and interesting things you can teach your cat. Make a game of it.

Meat-By-Product in Pet Food

This information came from my research anyone can find online.

Meat by-products : are ground and cleaned parts of slaughtered animals, not including meat. These include undeveloped eggs, feet, necks, heads, (and a small amount of feathers in the case of chicken meat), lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, liver, blood, bone, and stomach and intestines freed of their contents. It does not include hair, horns, teeth, or hooves. The definition for meat by-products by the Association of American Feed Control Officials is:

The non-rendered, clean parts, other than meat, derived from slaughtered mammals. It includes, but is not limited to, lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, livers, blood, bone, partially defatted low temperature fatty tissue, and stomachs and intestines freed of their contents. It does not include hair, horns, teeth and hoofs. It shall be suitable for use in animal food. If it bears name descriptive of its kind, it must correspond thereto.

These meat-by-products are commonly found in lower-grade pet foods and even many larger brand names.

A Cats Purr

The mystery of the cats purr! Why do they purr? Yes cats purr when they are happy, but also when they are stressed. The sound a cat makes is caused by vibrating muscles around the larynx. Also the purr originates from stimulation of a specific area in their brain. For those with cats we know they can purr for hours. Purring in the middle of the night when you are trying to sleep can be frustrating, but love them. They are happy to be near you.
Did you know the purr is the first sound a newborn kitten makes? Have you ever seen your adult cat drool as they purr? The combination of drooling, purring, and paw kneading in an adult cat may indicate a moment of regression to feeding time as a kitten.
Without all those cute purring fur-faces life would be boring! Let us keep them happy and healthy. Mine give me such joy!

Training

For most cats, learning to come when summoned is fairly simple. The benefits of this skill are huge, and the costs of acquiring it are tiny. It may very well be the essential trick for all cats

Pick a food treat that kitty loves.

Each time you give her this treat, first call her in a unique way that you only use for this purpose, then give her the treat as soon as she comes over. Always issue this call when you give her the designated treat. Dont use this call for anything else

In addition, when she comes to you in response to being called, give her praise and some petting, if she likes being petted.

Practice this once a week, or more often.

A lifetime of happiness

Would it not be great if your cat could live beyond 15 or 16 years. They do have the potential to live 27 to 30 years. That is provided they are given a good organic diet full of vitamins and minerals. Just think of all the happy times ahead.
