			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Natural Pet Foods &#8211; Boosting Immunity In Cats</strong></p>
<p>It really doesn&#8217;t matter whether your cat eats dry food, wet food, or both &#8211; the truth is that your cat is not getting the correct nutrition. No matter what the major cat food manufacturers tell you, unless you are feeding your cat natural pet foods and using supplements on top of that, you are denying your cat the ability to live a long and healthy life.</p>
<p>Natural pet foods are the key to keeping your cat healthy. Because there are no federal standards for the diets of cats, like there are for humans, each pet food manufacturer leaves it up to themselves to tell you what they think your cat needs. This is not only unhealthy, it is dangerous. Your cat needs a lot more than what they are providing, and even if your cat enjoys both dry and wet food, he or she is still going without proper nutrition.</p>
<p>          ]]&gt;</p>
<p>Natural pet foods, on the other hand, are designed in a different way. Of course, like all pet food, tastiness is key, because if your cat doesn&#8217;t like it, he or she won&#8217;t eat it. But, there is more to how tasty it is that determines whether it is good or not for your cat. Most natural pet foods include vitamins, minerals, and other things like antioxidants that help your animal live longer.</p>
<p>These natural, herbal supplements to his or her food will boost their energy and appetite, and you will see an almost immediate turnaround in their behavior. In some cases, cats who are constant problems &#8211; aggressive, destructive, anti-social &#8211; turn around completely. This is because they were lacking certain nutritional factors that would have kept their psychology in balance.</p>
<p>In addition to the mental changes in your cat, by replacing traditional cat food with natural pet foods and supplements, you will find that your animal&#8217;s coat becomes silkier and shinier, their teeth look better, and even their breath improves. These are all signs of a healthy internal system, something that they didn&#8217;t have when they were eating commercial cat food.</p>
<p>We all want our animals to live long, healthy, and happy lives and if your cat is to be a fully functioning part of your family, he or she needs to have the proper nutrition. If you knew you were lacking in your own nutrition, you would do something about it &#8211; so take care of your cat and do the same for him or her.</p>

<p>KING CRIMSON &#8211; CAT FOOD Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket Knocks in the manager&#8217;s door; Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack Lays out her goods on the floor; Everything she&#8217;s chosen is conveniently frozen. &#8220;Eat it and come back for more!&#8221; Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper Whips up a chemical brew; Croaking to a neighbour while she polishes a sabre Knows how to flavour a stew. Never need to worry with a tin of &#8216;Hurri Curri&#8217;: &#8220;Poisoned especially for you!&#8221; No use to complain If you&#8217;re caught out in the rain; Your mother&#8217;s quite insane. Cat food cat food cat food again. Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper Dying to finish the course; Goodies for the table with a fable on the label Drowning in miracle sauce. Don&#8217;t think I am that rude if I tell you that it&#8217;s cat food, &#8220;Not even fit for a horse!&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Which Cat Food Bowls and Cat Food Dishes are safe for your Cats to eat from?</strong></p>
<p>                What Cat Bowls and Cat Food Dishes are Safe for my Cat to use?
<p>Cat Food dishes are a very common and easily found cat food item. Yet sometimes, if there isn&#8217;t a shop in your near you might have to go online to find the right cat food dish. In which case you should first compare a few different cat food dishes and cat food bowls before desiding for one spesific cat food bowl.</p>
<p>You can also compare prices for your cat food dish in a few different shops, but mostly the prices for cat food dishes will be the same, since it&#8217;s such a low priced item any way&#8230;..</p>
<p>All cats need to eat from something and of course if you have a cat you will need to have a cat food dish or food bowl. There are the most common kinds of cat food dishes such as plastic food dish for cats, stainless steal cat food dish and a ceramic or porcelan cat food bowl.</p>
<p>Compare these three most common cat food dishes and cat food bowls to find which one is the right one for your cat!</p>
<p>There are three common kinds of cat food bowls and cat food dishes:</p>
<p> A ceramic or porcelan cat food dish A plastic cat food bowl A stainless steel cat food dish</p>
<p> A Ceramic or Porcelan Cat Food Dish
<p>A lot of ceramic and porcelan cat food dishes are very beautifully decorated. Ceramic Cat food dishes are heavier then other cat food dishes and wont fall over if thrown around. However if you buy a fancy painted cat food bowl, make sure that it is marked &#8220;safe for food&#8221;. Some fancy, decorated and beautiful cat food dishes contain lead in the paint or glaze (or other things), which is poisonous when eaten by humans or pets. Usually if the food dishes are safe for people to use, then they will probably be safe for your cat.</p>
<p>          ]]&gt;</p>
<p>Just check to make sure!</p>
<p> Plastic Cat Food Bowl &#8211; safe or not?
<p>Plastic cat food bowls are commonly sold in pet supply stores and are easy to clean, can not be broken and are usually very cheap too.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, plastic cat food dishes are not highly recommended. <br />They tend to get scratched easily and could house bacteria that will make your cat or kitten sick.</p>
<p>The plastic cat food dishes also get slime on the sides and that can caus serious problems for your cat and for you too.</p>
<p>Our cats like to play with any water dish or cat food dish and fling them across the floor causing a lot of mess and water. There for plastic bowls aren&#8217;t recommended since they are easier to fling and knock over and can really caus a big mess!</p>
<p>WARNING: Sometimes, a very cheap plastic cat food dish might come with a very sharp edge that could perhaps cut your cats lips or skin. Therefor check any plastic cat food dishes before buying any cat food dish or bowl.</p>
<p> Stainless Steel Cat Food Bowls:
<p>Stainless steel bowls are solled almost everywhere. Stainless steal cat food bowls are dishwasher safe and sturdy. However there are some minuses to consider before buying any stainless steal cat food dish&#8230;.</p>
<p>Some people think that stainless steel cat food bowls are not a good choice either since they give the cat food a bad metallic taste. Although I never had a bad experience with steal cat food dishes, (since I have never bought a stainless steal cat food dish for my cats) I can imagine that it probably would have the same affect as our steal pott that made us sick!</p>
<p>However since i personly have not tried it, you could give it a go if you wanted to!</p>
<p> at Food Bowl Tips:
<p>1. Whatever type of dishes you purchase, make sure they are washed out and refilled every day with clean fresh water.</p>
<p>2. Use a wet sponge to rub the sides and corners of the cat food dish to make sure that no bacterias and slime are growing there.</p>
<p>3. TIP: When you choose any cat food dishes for your cat, buy something that is sturdy, dishwasher safe and made of metal or ceramic that wont brake if your cat/s knock it over and wont make the cats food taste bad!</p>

<p>Do you love your pet? Everyone does! So go beyond the basics when caring for it! Get a variety of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.home-improvement-superstore.com/outdoor-living-outdoor-pet-supplies.html">outdoor pet supplies</a> that range from pet houses to pet containment devices. Pet birds need special attention. Bird cages are not just the only thing you&#8217;ll need for your feathery friends! Some essential supplies for them include bird feeders and bird waterers. Don&#8217;t forget to get bird treats and seeds for them from your <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.home-improvement-superstore.com">pet supplies store</a>.Your canine or feline friends will love to accompany you on outdoor trips. Pet crates, carriers, and kennels are perfect outdoor pet supplies for them! For traveling, you can get portable crates with handles, collapsible kennels, or a travel crate. &#8220;Home Sweet Home&#8221; is a phrase that applies to your pet as well! Pet houses for cats and dogs are durably constructed for outdoor use. Plastic pet houses are well-designed and a colorful kennel can enhance the appeal of your garden! Look for features such as latches, flow-through ventilation, and strong, reinforced plastic construction. When buying, ensure your pet is able to sit, stand, lie down, and move around in its home comfortably without bumping itself. Also, when taking your pet for a stroll in the park, outdoor pet supplies such as a pet leash may be required. These devices come in various sizes to fit pets of different breeds. Pet doors, on the other hand, are installed to your house doors or walls for a separate pet access to your home. When shopping online for pet supplies, make sure your pet is comfortable with what you buy and is not going to get hurt using it. If your pet is nothing less than your best pal, then it makes perfect sense to buy outdoor pet supplies for it! Shop at Home Improvement Superstore, an online pet supplies store that stocks a great collection of wholesale pet products.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Diet Tips For Obese Cats</strong></p>
<p>One of the major concerns for all cat owners to watch out for is their cat gaining too much weight. Obesity in pets is becoming more visible and as a good cat owner you want to take care of your cat&#8217;s health. This article will provide some tips for obese cats.</p>
<p>You may be asking why I should be concerned about my cat being overweight. For starters, you may not know which foods are best to feed your cat and how many treats you should give your pet during training sessions. Diet tips for obese cats will provide you with this information so you can have a healthier pet.</p>
<p>The following topics will be covered: why is obesity dangerous for pets, how can I know if my cat is overweight, facts about feeding cats, establish a regular feeding time, and how are treats different from normal cat food.</p>
<p><strong>Why Is Obesity Dangerous For Cats?</strong></p>
<p>Just as obesity is dangerous for humans, it is also for cats. The extra pounds can weight in on their cardiovascular and respiratory systems, exacerbating existing conditions and may cause new ones. Fat pets are prone to injury, more at risk in surgery, and open to other conditions such as diabetes. A list of additional problems is; decreased stamina, diminished immune function, and digestive disorders are consequences of an overweight cat.</p>
<p>If your cat is severely overweight it can diminish your pet&#8217;s quality of life. It is important that you, as the owner, control your pet&#8217;s intake of food and treats.</p>
<p><strong>How Can I Know If My Cat Is Overweight?</strong></p>
<p>Here is an interesting fact, between 25 to 40 percent of cats are obese or are likely to become obese. So, what can I do about it? Good question. So, here is how you can take action now:</p>
<p>Monitor your cat&#8217;s weight. They don&#8217;t get overweight overnight. Keep a close eye on them. Be sure to have your pet exercise daily. Failure to keep your pets weight under control may cause your cat to be a higher risk for diabetes, arthritis and other health related conditions.<br />
Here is how you can know if your pet is overweight when you gently press down as you are petting her. If you are not able to feel her ribs, consider taking her to the veterinarian for an exam. When any underlying medical causes are ruled out, your veterinarian can help you develop a proper nutrition and exercise program to remove the excess weight.</p>
<p><strong>Facts About Feeding Cats</strong></p>
<p>Just as humans require a healthy balanced diet, so do cats. As a cat owner, you can provide your pet with the best quality cat food that has all of the nutrients your pet requires together with a high level of palatability. Do not add any human food to your cat&#8217;s diet. Doing so may upset the nutrients of a balanced diet.</p>
<p><strong>Milk.</strong> Here is a little known fact; milk is not a substitute for water. As a food, it&#8217;s incomplete and does not provide a balanced diet. Milk contains lactose and requires lactase to break it down in the pet&#8217;s intestine. Too much milk can cause diarrhea.</p>
<p><strong>Raw eggs.</strong> Repeatedly giving your cat raw eggs can cause a deficiency of the vitamin biotin which can cause a loss of hair, dermatitis, and poor growth. Restrict this item in your pet&#8217;s diet.</p>
<p><strong>Raw fish.</strong> Some raw fish can cause a deficiency of the vitamin thiamine. Signs of this vitamin deficiency include anorexia, abnormal posture, weakness, seizures, and even death.</p>
<p><strong>Raw meats.</strong> Most cat owners think that giving your cat meat is good for them. Usually raw meat does not contain all of the nutrients for a balanced diet. This must be added. Also, raw meat may contain parasites, and cooked meats can be high in fat and do not contain a proper balanced diet. I would stay away from giving your pet raw meat to eat.</p>
<p><strong>Raw liver.</strong>  Raw liver fed in large quantities, can cause vitamin A toxicity in cats. Small soft bones, pork chop and chicken bones, should never be given to cats. They may lodge in the cat&#8217;s mouth or throat.</p>
<p><strong>Table scraps.</strong> Table scraps will not provide your pet with the proper nutrition your pet requires. Best advice is never to feed your cat table scraps. Once you start, it is very difficult to stop. So, don&#8217;t start.</p>
<p><strong>Supplements.</strong> Supplements are not required when a normal healthy cat is being fed a complete and balanced diet. A balanced diet can be found in the pet food you are feeding your cat. The same is true for additional minerals. You can find this with high quality cat food. Be a good shopper and provide your pet with the best quality cat food so you don&#8217;t have to purchase supplements.</p>
<p><strong>Establish a Regular Feeding Time</strong></p>
<p>This is important for your pet&#8217;s digestive health and regular bowel movements. The first step is to determine the correct quantity of food required to maintain a healthy weight. Next, is to establish a regular routine time for feeding your pet. Knowing when your cat will be hungry will assist you when you plan training sessions. Part of your pet&#8217;s meal will include treats or rewards.</p>
<p><strong>How Are Treats Different From Normal Cat Food?</strong></p>
<p>Everyone one likes to have a treat once in a while. So does your pet. But, what is the difference between a treat and dry cat food? Cat food is higher in nutrition than treats. However, if you want to reward your kitty with a different flavor or texture, than a treat is the ticket. They are like desserts and should be given sparingly.</p>
<p>Cat food is higher in protein and should make up the bulk of your pet&#8217;s diet. Some treats can be nutritional, so read the labels before making your selection. If you offer tidbits that are different from their meals, it will add to your cat&#8217;s pleasure, making training more successful. This will also help build a strong bond between owner and pet.</p>
<p>Treats should not be more than 10% of your cat&#8217;s total diet for the day. You will need to watch out here because giving your pet too much treats can be a cause for obesity.</p>
<p>By following the above diet tips for obese cats will help your pet to stay healthy and have a longer life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Factors Affecting The Health Of Cats</strong></p>
<p>Whether you are someone who believes in vaccinations or not, they are extremely important to the health and well being of your cat. Just as with humans, there are certain viruses that can attack a cat&#8217;s system if they are not properly protected. Even if your cat never goes outside, they still interact with whoever comes into your home and whatever germs that they are carrying. It is really easier to take your cat to the veterinarian for their vaccinations instead of dealing with all of the bills that come from a sick cat. Ask your doctor about any vaccinations that your cat may need and have them explain them to you if you have any concerns.</p>
<p>Another major decision when having a cat is the question of whether or not you are going to have your cat spayed or neutered. For those who plan on breeding their cats, this is not a major concern, but for those who don&#8217;t have any plans on breeding should strongly consider these options in order to avoid a lot of complications down the road.</p>
<p>Not only are you protecting your cat from contributing to a litter of kittens that weren&#8217;t exactly in the cards, but you might avoid a lot of behaviors that occur when a male or female is fertile. As mentioned in an earlier article, when a male or female cat is not spayed or neutered they may demonstrate such behaviors as urination, spraying their spent, and having to deal with a females heat cycles.</p>
<p>Spaying refers to a female cat in which the cat&#8217;s reproductive organs are removed in order to eliminate any chance of having kittens. By spaying your female cat you will have a more relaxed, active, and happy cat. Neutering refers to the removal of a male cat&#8217;s reproductive organs. Again, they will not be able to reproduce but you will find that are not as aggressive as when they are unneutered.</p>
<p>Part of having a cat involves keeping an eye on their general health and well being. This is why it&#8217;s important to have a good veterinarian that you can go to when you have any questions or concerns. You need to be able to ask questions and receive helpful answers; after all you need to keep in mind that your cat&#8217;s health is at stake.</p>
<p>After many question and answer sessions with your veterinarian as you become accustomed to your cat, you will begin to be able to decipher when something is wrong with your cat. It won&#8217;t hurt if your make it a regular habit to check out your cat for any indicators that they may have a health problem. Below are the main characteristics you need to look for.</p>
<p>• Eyes: a healthy cat has bright and clear eyes. If you notice any irritation such as discoloration or discharge, you might want to ask your veterinarian.</p>
<p>• Ears: a healthy cat has clean ears that don&#8217;t stink or have anything icky coming out of them. If you notice that there is any discharge or discoloration your cat might have ear mites. Refer to your veterinarian for questions or how to clean their ears.</p>
<p>• Mouth: a healthy cat has pink and healthy looking gums. Indicators that there might be a problem are stinky breath, swollen gums, or sores.</p>
<p>• Body and Fur: a healthy cat has a thick and lustrous coat. If your cat&#8217;s coat is not shiny and thick, there might be a health problem that you should check into such as lumps, ticks, dandruff, and fleas.</p>
<p>• Nose: a healthy cat should have a clean nose.</p>
<p>If there is any cause for concern you should speak to your veterinarian immediately.<br />Even if you keep your cat clean, well fed, and vaccinated there is a good chance that your cat is going to be sick at one time or another in their life. This is similar to people, no matter how hard you try, eventually you get sick.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Introducing Cats To Each Other</strong></p>
<p>When it is time to introduce a new cat to your home, all parties involved will need to learn to make changes for cat health and cat safety.  For people this will not be too difficult, however the existing cat and the new cat are who we need to focus on.  Though cats are generally solitary in the wild, they are typically able to adapt to new family members if done correctly.  The territorial nature will be the main issue, so you should proceed slowly and attentively when introducing cats to each other.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
When dealing with kittens, it will not take so much time, maybe a week or so.  Kittens are more amenable to change, while an older cat might not be.  The attitudes and personalities are huge factors.  You must take care to give love and affection to existing cats, so they will not feel usurped by the new cat.  Keep the newcomer in a separate room to kick off the introduction.  An unused bathroom or bedroom with bed, water, food, litter box, toys, and a repeated human visitor to play with will be necessary.  The existing cat will be denied entry here, so the new cat can be comfortable and feel protected.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Certainly, the new cat will be concerted, since the existing cat will yowl and hiss through the door.  This is a message that the house is already the property of a cat.  Let them go on, because they need to get that out of their system before they can start accepting the newcomer.  Eventually they&#8217;ll stop that.  Their scents will pass under the door, and possibly paws as well.  When the resident cat calms down praise them for their restraint.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Next you start them using the same food dish, further intermixing their scents.  Don&#8217;t feed them together yet, though you will be using the same dish for both cats.  Inexorably they will get become accustomed to the unusual smells and the danger is lessened.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
After, you release them in the house together for increasing time frames.  Hissing and dominance games will ensure, but do not allow actual fighting.  This is the time for playing with them together and sharing.  Extend the lengths of time, but the new cat will need to go in the protected room for some of the time as well, to calm them and all parties need their individual time with the parent figure.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
It does not usually happen immediately, but after a while you can leave them unsupervised.  They may not yet be close, but acquiescence to the fait accompli is the crucial task.  It&#8217;s all a question of time from there on out.  With the territorial concerns resolved (and that includes jurisdiction over the humans, too!) your cats will work on being lifelong pals and happy healthy cats.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Cats Health &#8211; Home Remedies for Cats</strong></p>
<p>Healthy kittens and cats do wonderfully entertaining antics for themselves and for us. These play activities are exercises that keep cats healthy and are easily maintained on home remedies.</p>
<p>They will meow and purr with delight when happy, comfortable or content.<br />
They can make you giggle or laugh at their antics.<br />
They love playing with plants, twigs, string, balls, anything that moves as they like to pounce, chase or run.<br />
When playing with an unknown they hesitantly and very gingerly paw the object. Then it is decided if they will pounce on it, whack it or attack it.<br />
They like the game of stalk and attack.<br />
They crawl in and out of boxes, shelving, packages, or any tunnel or tube structure.<br />
They love to climb shelving, steps, and trees.<br />
They seemingly enjoy licking, cleaning, kneading and massaging each other. </p>
<p>We take many cat pictures and cat videos of our adorable kittens and cats to share with family and friends.</p>
<p>Cats in the wild will do a lot of walking, stalking, running and chasing of prey. They eat what they catch. And they maintain a weight that is healthy for their being. On the other hand, our domestic cats are not hunting for their prey and they eat what we serve them. Removing the food which they have not eaten will help with maintaining healthy weight.</p>
<p>You probably know how important it is to help your cats get their daily exercise. It is important that you mix physical exercises with play activities. Include games that will have them stalking and chasing an object as though they were hunting. Be regular about this, not sporadic. This will help your cat to perform its natural habits.</p>
<p>Their foods should be balanced with high quality meats. Fresh water should always be available.</p>
<p>As you think about maintaining good health in your kittens and cats consider them as children. Children are at their happiest when playing, running, skipping, and having different activities. They enjoy not only being physically exercised, but also mentally occupied. Children need attention; cats and kittens need attention.</p>
<p>Keep it simple. If your household owns a cat, you are its only companion, and your pet looks to you for activities. If there are other cats that can keep your pet busy and loved that is a big relief on your time and energy.</p>
<p>If you have noticed a sudden change in the behavior of your cat, there may be some emotional or mental problems which need to be addressed.</p>
<p>It becomes your choice if you want to go to the cat vet first or if you want to try a few methods of your own to correct the problems, and then see the cat vet.</p>
<p>The sudden changes could be insomnia, not eating, aggressive behavior, withdrawal, depression, or not using the litter box. Review and think what changes have taken place with you, family or environment that might have caused your cat or kitten to suddenly behave differently.</p>
<p>Here is a checklist:</p>
<p><strong>Cat or kitten:</strong></p>
<p>food and water<br />
medictions<br />
play and organized activities<br />
a new pet<br />
new bedding<br />
new litter box</p>
<p><strong>Yourself:</strong></p>
<p>change in jobs<br />
pregnancy<br />
spending time with a new baby<br />
spending time with a new pet<br />
change in routine<br />
stress or anxiety</p>
<p><strong>Family:</strong></p>
<p>a new person in the house<br />
children too noisy<br />
loud music<br />
neglect or too much attention to pet<br />
party<br />
new people<br />
change in routine</p>
<p><strong>Environment:</strong></p>
<p>change in furniture placement<br />
change in litter box<br />
change of litter brand<br />
new house<br />
new carpet<br />
new building<br />
new pet</p>
<p>Sit in a quiet setting of your home with your cat. And stroke, massage or quietly speak to your cat or kitten for a few minutes each day.</p>
<p>Is there a window that your cat can gaze outward to change the scenery? Is there a door that allows her to enter and exit at will?</p>
<p>With few exceptions view your cat as a person. Think about the variety of things that you enjoy and which of these would your cat or kitten enjoy within their bounds.</p>
<p>People think of good friends, good food, pleasant surroundings, stability, and fun and most importantly &#8211; love. Your pet would be happy with same.</p>
<p>Here is how you can always maintain a healthy cat or kitten.

<p>You need to be aware that if you have multiple cats and one of them gets a worm infestation then they may all catch it very easily. When going through treatment it is important that you follow up on all the doses that you were supposed to take. It is very common for these types of worms to reappear because they can stay dormant in a cat&#8217;s feces for some time. You must also be careful because tapeworms can also infect humans so you must treat your cats regularly. Make sure that you educate yourself and you know what signs to look when your cat has worms.</p>
