Time passed and I was getting visitors too. True, just from outside, but I had a white fellow coming over every day. We would talk for long minutes, he would leave his smell for me and come and go all the time. I was on the inside of the window and it wasn’t the most comfortable window ledge I’ve been on before. My Mom however realized it soon, and she promised she would make it wider for me that I could fit and move easier. Soon enough I had my space widened and now I can just lounge there for hours. Thank you Mom!
My white male visitor soon left me for some reason. But never mind, there is always someone new. Or if not cats, then I can see birds, squirrels and other wild creatures. Just sitting in the sun is something that I also like, and when is good weather the window is always open, that I can enjoy it. Life is so good.
Once she told me the story, how she ended up adopting me. She said that on a Sunday night she was looking through websites for adoptable cats for hours. She selected four other cats out of the 480 she already looked through, then she said to herself: “This is it, the last page then I’m done”. Apparently I was the very last one on the bottom of the page, number 500. When she saw my face, she just knew that I was the one she wanted. She then called the adoption agency, however being Sunday, she could not get a hold of anybody. She left a message and the following day they returned her call.
This is when and how everything started. Then she still had to make her way all the way to Hamilton, that was over 100 kms from her home. But she said, she didn’t mind it, she would have come to pick me up even if I would have been further. Miracles happen all the time, right?? This is a miracle for me as I was rescued and given another chance from life. I am so happy now and grateful, full of life and joy.
Life at a foster home then came to an end one night. I remember, the doorbell rang and of course all the cats would run to see who it was, not me however. Then I heard a voice, a voice that was full of love, passion and care. And I realized that she was here for one of us. I thought, well, at least one less cat around me and one of us can start a new life. I was not even dreaming that would be me. But it was. She came to look for me as I was hiding beside the bed. I did not wanted her to touch me, but I guess I had no choice. This lovely lady picked me up and started talking to me in a very different language that I was used to so far.
She then asked me to jump into a black cat carrier, but that was the last place I wanted to be again. I was forced into it after all and my road trip started. It seemed the end of the world where we were heading, still, somehow I just felt that something good was coming. After about an hour (eternity for a cat believe me), I found myself in a nice cozy apartment, free from other cats. I didn’t know where to start exploring, I just kept meowing and thanking my new owner that she saved me.
Everybody who owns a cat must agree that one common thing you will inevitably see your cat do is push their head into anything that will support the weight: furniture, piles of paper and your hand or your legs. The reason for all this is the same: the cat is trying to “own” the various things by putting their saliva on them. When your cat rubs the side of his mouth against things, he’s putting a little bit of saliva on it, creating a scent that will then be familiar and comforting to them. They act the same way with visitors you might have, putting some scent on them to know they belong to the house after all.
Another thing indoor cats love to do is lounging near windows meowing, flicking their tail violently, knocking down whatever is on or near the window ledge. They are simply acting out their hunting instinct on whatever creatures, leaves, or falling objects they see outside. If you want to see their playful behavior play out in full, drag an object on the ground with a piece of string and watch them go crazy to try and pounce it. You’ll see very similar behaviors to what they show at the window ledge. It is a normal and healthy behaviour. Play with your cats in this way to give them exercise and to let them pounce around.
These are just two of the many common behaviors you’ll see out of your cat in the years of owning one. By understanding why your cat behaves this way, you’ll be able to keep your cat happier and healthier.
Cats don’t always cry because of being hungry for food but in many cases they cry because of being hungry for a sexual partner. They cry because they want to have company. They may chatter or mumble as well. They should be listened and one must talk back as cats love when its master speak out a few comforting words to them.
Meowing can be a simple greeting too, however on rare occassions they may cry of boredom or when they get stressed if they are ignored. There are many ways though by which a cat can be stopped from crying, like setting up playful activities, not ignoring them, taking them for a walk, feeding them and brushing them regularly which shows them love and affection. They love all these things and can be satisfied with very little. So try to understand your cats language and both of you will be happier.
Most of pet owners experience the situation when they have to leave their pets at home for different reasons. A pet sitter could be a good choice to leave your dog with, but you have to feel comfortable and confident towards your pet sitter’s skills to take care of your pet.
Establish a clear list of duties and responsibilities you will be requiring your pet sitter to do and the schedule he/she is required to be there for your pet. Dogs would generally need to have a regular visiting schedule. You should seek for references of his/her previous employers to ensure the honesty and reliability of your sitter. It is just wise for you to discuss important information concerning your pet that may include medical problems, personal requirements and veterinarian’s contact details in cases of emergency. Bear in mind that this person will have the full access to your house on top of managing care for your pet. That is why it is exceptionally important that you have complete trust in them. By finding and hiring the right pet sitter who can be trusted, you will have that peace of mind and be able to leave your pet in safe hands.
Dog toys are relevant to dogs no matter what breed they are. They help avoid boredom. There are different types of dog toys with different purposes. One type of dog toy is the active toys which are especially made of very hard rubber to sustain when dogs chew it. Then, there is a dog toy for distraction. This refers to toys that are to lure your dog away from some destructive activities. Toys for gaming, such as noise making toys and toys with an open cavity within them for interactive games are very popular as well. Comfort dog toys are soft stuffed toys that can give comfort to your dogs. In the absence of these toys, your dog might look for other things in your household to chew on that could be destructive or health threatening to them. Dog toys, beside entertainment and exercise, are also good to train them.
And if you want to have a toy for both your beloved four legged friend and yourself, well then look into our wide variety of pet strollers that will bring fun and a different time-spending together.
Most of the twin strollers are very beneficial to multiple pet owners. The advantages of these twin strollers are that you can bring both pets with you without having to leave one of them at home. You have the convenience of spending time together with them in parks, malls, or just a walk in the neighborhood.
When purchasing a twin stroller safety is the top priority to consider. Stability is the main characteristic of a good stroller. Also check if the wheels and handbrakes are functioning well.

A healthy and happy cat requires you to groom them properly, fed them on time and give enough love and attention.
Taking care of your cat’s health consists of visits to the veterinarian annually for their regular check up, grooming them properly (brushing their fur regularly) and feeding them on time as they can learn how to ”stick” to a schedule with your guidance and training.
By giving your cat your undivided attention while grooming and feeding them, you are already showering them with love and attention. In addition to this, make their play time a lot more fun by appreciating the things that they do and they want to do. Be creative and show them something new by taking them for a walk in their very own cat stroller.
Getting a cat does require you to purchase some extra items before he or she arrives in your home. In order to make a home for your cat, you will need some (most) of the following items, such as: food bowl, water bowl, cat food, litter box, litter box materials, cat bed, scratching post, cat carrier, cat toys, cat leash, cat collar, cat harness and grooming tools.
Although these seem like simple items, if you have never owned a cat there are certain things to consider before you go out and buy the most expensive of everything.
Your cat must eat and drink, however the food and water bowl does not have to cost you a fortune. Mainly they just need to be easy to clean and heavy so they won’t tip over easily. You also need to make sure that your cat has food and water in their bowls as well. Unless you plan on teaching your cat how to use the toilett, you will need to purchase a litter box and everything that goes in it. This involves the litter box, the scoop, and the litter. And don’t forget the entertainment part. Toys, scratching post and if your are planning to take your cat outside, then consider a three or four-wheeled cat stroller for their safety.
