5 Years Ago, I Lilly Bug, got my furever home and was adopted. I also declared this day Calico Cat Day and Tortoiseshell Cat Day.
I was adopted by the Patterson’s from a shelter. I cannot Believe it’s been 5 years now. I am glad they gave me my furever home.
I’m looking forward to many more years.
I was adopted January 24, 2015. I also declared my adoption aka Gotcha Day as Calico Cat Day / Tortoiseshell Cat Day.
This is Blind MAMA who I rescued from a yard sale. A fellow said he was moving and going to leave the cat behind because he didn’t want her any more and any way she was blind. At the time of arriving at the yard sale there was no sign of said cat be he said she lived in a garage somewhere near by but showed up every day around 3 P.M. to eat. I told him I wanted to rescue her and he said he would call the next time he saw her but he was leaving the next day-moving out. So figuring he was a bit shifty and heartless I gave told him I would give him $50.00 if he could catch her – I’d take her. Then I drove home –‘had not been gone 3 miles when my cell phone rang and he exclaimed he had her- if I had $50.00…I did and went back paid him and took Blind MAMA She never goes outside-and has mentally mapped the entire house and stairs in her mind and navigates my meowing and listening to the echo-similar to a bat. She sleeps on my bed with me every night.

Kangaroo grooms a cat – Arthur a rescued kangaroo helped groom a cat.
“Arthur was a rescued kangaroo Joey and Blue was a kitten rescued from a shearing shed, both raised by our daughters. He slept with the dogs and Blue was his favourite family member. I often found them curled up in the bean bag together having a cuddle and a groom. Arthur loved to be wrapped in a blanket in front of the fire on a winters day.”

5 Ways to Keep Your Cat Happy and Healthy – (Family Features) While cats can be quite independent animals, they still rely on their pet parents to maintain their well-being. It’s up to pet owners to provide the adequate care, nutrition and home environment to ensure their furry friends live long and healthy lives.
Consider these tips and visit temptationstreats.com and iams.com for further guidance on raising healthy and happy cats.
(Family Features) If the thought of training your pet cat seems like a difficult feat, consider the daunting task of training one of nature’s biggest cats.
After welcoming two 4-year-old Sumatran tigers, Frances and Huntley, the keepers at Nashville Zoo are doing just that. The training program, which is sponsored by TEMPTATIONS™ Cat Treats, is on display for the public to learn about how these colossal cats are trained.The trainers offer these tips and tricks from their experiences working with their tigers that you can use to train your cat at home. For more information on cat behavior, visit TemptationsTreats.com.
While your training might be inspired by the behaviors you’d like your cat to adopt or change, beginning your training by rewarding your pet’s existing good habits is often an easy way to reinforce behavior. For example, if your cat sits patiently for food, pair this with a treat and verbal reassurance to praise the behavior and encourage it in the future.
When beginning the training process, identify your cat’s likes and dislikes. Some cats are motivated by toys while most are motivated by food. When starting the training process, try out a few different treat flavors to identify what gets your cat’s attention. Treats such as TEMPTATIONS™ Cat Treats come in a wide variety of flavors, making it easy to find one that will make your cat come running. For cats with health or weight restrictions, utilize toys or tactile reinforcement like petting for motivation.
To prevent confusion, remain consistent when rewarding behaviors and only give praise when your cat completes a trick or task. If you reward your cat for following a command halfway or missing a step, you’re not rewarding the behavior you’d like to see in the future.
Cats are smart creatures and full of potential when it comes to training. Pinpointing practical habits that can serve you and your cat’s lifestyle in the future is a smart and achievable goal to tackle while your cat is young and his or her habits are malleable. For example, if you plan to travel, make crate training a priority. If your cat shows resistance with nail trimming and being held, focus your training on desensitization, which will allow you to more easily groom him or her or assess injuries later on.
Training your cat can be difficult, but it’s a great opportunity for bonding and relationship building. Have patience and reinforce your pet’s hard work by acknowledging his or her effort along the way and provide encouragement to keep him or her learning and advancing in training.
