Cats Supernatural Powers

4/28/2015

For many cat owners, we have all heard the story and sayings about how mystifying and supernatural cats are. Black colored cats have always been paired with witchcraft, magic and even bad luck. It is of very strong believe if you ask any cultist they will tell you that cats have the power to see and sense evil. Follow me and let us venture a little into a secret world, a world where Cats Supernatural Powers are widely known.

Cat Supernatural Powers

1. Cat Earth Quake Prediction
If you want to know when the next rumble will happen, you can consult your cat. For centuries it has been believed that cats know when an earthquake will hit long before any humans do. So how do our feline friends can predict such a devastating event and we as complex and intelligent human beings are unable to? Many cat observers notice that the cats behavior always changes before an earthquake hits. They notice sometimes a withdrawn or uneasy behavior stemming from the cat. There is no scientific proof of this behavior tied to predicting earthquakes, however the closest thing to scientific proof was an experiment conducted by a California geologist in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Jim Berkland predicted two earthquakes in California by tracking lost pet ads in the newspapers. Berkland's theory was that cats who knew there was a disaster on its way would run away from home to escape the coming catastrophe, and increased lost cat notices on the two occasions led him to predict the earthquakes. Yet even with experiments like Berkland's on the books and with cat families' testimonies, science continues to be skeptical.

2. Cats Can Predict When You Are Pregnant
Cats have an in tune ability to know before the expecting mother or father that a new child is coming. How? I believe since cats are psychic they can see deeper than us humans and can sense life in the smallest possible form. Many women before they knew they were pregnant have reported that suddenly their cats begin to stick to them like a sheep dog protecting its flock. Where ever they go the cat would be either predicting where they are going such as run to the bathroom door and sit and just wait. They have been known to also climb up on pregnant mommy's tummy and just curl up and sleep. It is as though they are protecting someone, an unborn child perhaps!

3. Cats Can Predict Death
This is a certainty, the cat eyes see more than just our Three dimensional world and can easily see the spirit world. The fact is that once we are born, we are stamped like cattle and given a birth certificate which is a stock bond. We are then given a mark for death. That mark is kind of like an expiration date on our three (3d) physical bodies. Once any human is approaching their expiration date, your cat will sense that you will soon be departing this world. People are usually marked for death by the angel of death himself which many of us call the grim reaper. If your time on earth will expire soon, you will see your cat becoming quite clingy also. He/She will exhibit more chatter with you and even may become a bit depressed.

4. Cats Know When You Have Cancer
Yes, the power of the pet continues to baffle even doctors today. Cats have been widely known to save many owners life by detecting health issues in them before the owner or the doctor. How is the question many have asked. Well, many times if we pay close attention to out pets we will know when they are trying to speak to us. If they could open their mouth and speak English i am sure that we would know things about our body and this earth that may startle, shock or amaze us. When cats predict certain illnesses such as say a breast cancer, cats will try and get our attention to the area that has the illness by either focusing on that area, keeps on pawing on that area or possible try to always lie on that area. Many cats will do a little meow when they are near that ill area to let us know that something is wrong. It is for us to just pay attention.

Our feline friends are more than just our pets, our buddies. They are our family, our protectors at times and many times our life savers.

So how much do you know about your fury feline. Yes we know your pet is cute, awesome, adorable and loves tuna, but do you know any true cat facts. Well sit back, grab a tuna sandwich and cozy up beside your cat and eat and gain some cool cat facts.

1. Please paw me that cup!
Which hand or paw do you believe is the dominant paw of your cat? Did you ever sit to observe which paw is mostly used once they are single pawing? Well guess what, cats are either left pawed or right pawed. They will show preference of one paw over the other.

2. You may be able to bet on your cat
A strong and healthy cat s reach top speeds of up to 35 miles per hour, the problem is that it will not be long lived. After around 45 seconds that high speed cat will eventually slow down and probably need a touch of energy drink to give her back wings.

3. Get out of her Space
Talking about being a bully for real estate, geesh. Normally domestic cats territory would encompass approximately 100- 150 acres. So if you believe that your home is yours, you may be the victim of a sinister plot by your cat to have your named removed from that house title and turn your home into a cat's sanctuary.

4. RUN! The Cat-aliens are coming!
Did you know cats actually come from another planet? Well a long time a go in the feline galaxy, there was this great empire called Caton. Ok, i will stop myself before i venture into another one of my scifi cat stories. But cats have special antennas called whiskers which are used to navigate, judge the width of an opening and to detect movement. Yep, those are some really powerful whiskers if you ask me. So move over my favorite martian, make way for my favorite whiskers!

5. Did someone awake feline beauty?
Talk about getting in zose zeez. Zats Zets A Zot Zof Zees. I bet your tongue got twisted with those zees!. Anyway, a healthy mature cat spends about 12-15% of its felinish life in deep sleep. healthy mature cat spends about 15% of its life in deep sleep. But guess what the bugger is, when you want to catch some good shut eye that is the time your cat wants to tango. Since they are mostly nocturnal, most of those sleep times are during the day.

6. Something Stinks Around Here!
Did you know that cats have 200 million odor sensitive cells in their tiny noses? While humans have only 5 million cells. So if you decide to not have a bath in say, a week or so and you see you cat avoiding you you know that his nose knows and its time to grab a bath. Also because of your cats sensitive nose, it is not recommended to where high concentrated colognes or strong air freshener around the home. You may notice you cat sneezing on uncontrollably because of this.

7. Did Some one say Bionic?
If there are any readers here as old as i am would know about the movie called the million dollar man. He had bionic abilities. Well, i am sure nothing on my fury feline will ever cost a million bucks, yet still she is somewhat bionic. Cats have amazing hearing powers, in fact, study shows that cats can hear up to 100, 000 Hertz. Compare that to humans lame 20,000 hertz! They even beat my canine friend Venom who can hear up to 40,000 hertz. So the next time you plan on giving your cat a bath and if you know she hates bathing, don't even whisper it, as no doubt she will hear that whisper and you will have a hard time getting her down from the chandelier.

8. Oh Feline, What a odd toes you have.
The better to touch you with my dear. Did yo know that cats have four toes on their back paws and five on the front paws. There are however cases where you will find cats that are polydactyl. Polydactyl simply means have more than normal. People with eleven or twelve tentacles, i mean fingers or toes are considered polydactyl. Cats that also have more than the required toes are also called mitten or thumb cats.

American Curl

American Curl
The first thing you will notice when you look at an American Curl Cat is it's unusual ears. The ears are curled back from the face area towards the center of the back of the skull. If you are used to cats with regular ears, once you see an American curl cat it will look quite abnormal to you. The American curl's ears must be handled delicately in order to prevent any damages to the cartilage in the air. This cat's origin came from what many say was a "Spontaneous mutation" in Lakewood California.

Weight range:
Male: medium: 8-12 lbs.
Female: small: <8 lbs.

Cornish Rex
The Cornish Rex has distinctive large ears set high on a relatively small egg-shaped head. These cats also have high, hallowed cheekbones, a high-bridged Roman nose and a strong chin. The body of the average Cornish Rex is long, slender and muscular, with long thin legs. Their fur lacks guard hairs so the coat is very short and incredibly soft with a "washboard" appearance. Rexes come in up to 42 color variations.

weight: 6 - 10 pounds

Devon Rex

Devon Rex
This cute little short haired cat stemmed from England during the 1960's. It is quite an intelligent little critter and is actually known by its slender body, wavy coat and very large ears. If you are looking for a circus cat, this one has got to be it as it is capable of grasping very difficult tricks and responds well to instructions. They are even known to recognize their owner's name, just as they do their own.

Male Devon Rex cat is 8 - 10 lbs (3.5 - 4.5 kg) and for a female Devon Rex cat is 5 - 8 lbs (2.0 - 3.5 kg).

Muchkin

Munchkin
This is a relatively new breed of cat characterized by its very short legs, which are caused by a naturally occurring genetic mutation. Much controversy erupted over the breed when it was recognized by The International Cat Association in 1995 with critics voicing concern over potential health and mobility issues. Male Munchkins typically weigh between 6 to 9 pounds (3–4 kg) and are usually larger than female Munchkins, which typically weigh between 4 to 8 pounds.

Singapura
This is one of the smallest breeds of cats, noted for its large eyes and ears, brown ticked coat and blunt tail. Reportedly established from three "drain cats" imported from Singapore in the 1970s, it was later revealed that the cats were originally sent to Singapore from the US before they were exported back to the US. Investigations by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) concluded no wrongdoing and the Singapura kept its status as a natural breed.

weight: 6 – 7 pounds | male
4 – 5 pounds | female
height: 6-8 inches

Cat Care Guide And Strategies

4/21/2015

Comments

Kittens

All animals require that you properly care for them, and having a kitty cat is no different. You just don't go out and get a pet cat, bring it home and hand it the frozen steak in the freezer along with instructions on how to use the microwave. You have to be much more subtle and exuberate better petting techniques.

So you Just Bought Cat - Now What?
You now have a nice little addition to your family and brought it home for the very first time. You cannot expect the cat to just be up and cozy right off the bat as it is now in a new environment which it has not learned to trust as yet. So you will have to give it a little time to get use to it's surroundings and don't expect any quick sentimental lovey dovey until it really gets to know you and its new home. But there are some prerequisites that should normally be done before a cat purchase. These prerequisites require that you have food readily available and a litter box. Ensure that you also have a name readily available so the cat can get accustomed to it from the beginning. You can later get all the niceties that cats like later on.

1. Cleaning The Litter Box
Just like how you as a human flush whenever you use the toilet for hygiene and health purposes, it is no different with the disposal of cat feces. You cat box must be cleaned daily. Clumping cat litter makes this easy. All it takes for you to do is just scoop out the clumps and you're done. Put the litter box in a place where the cat will not be disturbed when he is doing his number 2.

2. Providing Food and Water
Come on now guys, anyone who actually owns a pet and does not provide the basic necessities for survival should simply stop surviving. The cat must have a proper diet and should always be properly hydrated. Always provide a fresh daily supply of water and a healthy meal for your cat. Ensure that the cat bowl has good weight to disallow easy tipping over by your cat. Remember, cats are cats and they love meat, so not because you have gone vegetarian means that you and your cat will see eye to eye on this conversion. I am 100% sure he would prefer a canary any day over broccoli.

3. Cat Toys
Cats are agile and when they are not busy catnapping, they are eating, when they are not eating they are stalking the mop! Cats have a playful spirit and giving your cat toys will help to foster that cheerfulness. The market is saturated with cat toys and it is always a bit difficult to choose what to buy and who to buy from and what your cat will actually use or what he may just ignore. In the beginning, it will be a trial and error thing. But you may just hit the nail on the head and pick the right cat toy for Leo or have just wasted 20 bucks buying something he totally ignores.

4. Scratching Posts
I have a couple quick questions for you; do you like your carpet? do you like your sheets? do you like your furniture? do you like your couch? Well, i can guess that the general consensus is probably yes. If you notice that your cat begins to exercise his claws by scratching, it is in your best interest and the interest of your home to go and get a scratch post or a scratch mat for your cat. The thing is that cats will have that urge to scratch, it is where he scratches is the answer to that 50 million dollar question. Try and get your cat use to scratching on a secured scratch post or scratch mat.

5. Body Care And Grooming
Many people simply believe that when you care for a animal you simply give them food and water and a string! But it entails much more as you have to be keen on grooming and health issues. You should always check the various bodily sections of your cat to ensure cleanliness and that everything is as it should be. Your cat should be properly groomed, this grooming entails more than just a brush of fur. You should ensure that your cats nails/claws are trimmed from time to time once your cat is a total indoor cat. Mother nature helps to keep outdoor cats nailed maintained from time to time naturally when cats climb trees and do other claw bearing activities. But before you go snap snap on those claws, make sure that you go find out the proper procedures in cutting a cats claws and buy a cat claw trimmer. Observe your cats eyes and ears from occasionally to ensure that there is no buildup of dirt in the ears or ear mites. The symptoms of ear mites could be seeing brown clumps of discharge. If this is seen, consult your vet. If the ears become dirty, you can always give your cat a bath and clean the ears with a cloth or if you are not going to give him a bath, simply clean those dirty ears with a damp rag.

6. Outside Activities
Before allowing your pet to venture outside, ensure that there is nothing there to prose a physical challenge for his movements or cause any form of bodily harm. Analyse the risk to letting your cat outdoors. If you live close to lots of traffic having an outdoor cat may not be a good idea. Most times cat owners end up loosing their little fur-ball to Optimus Prime type trucks. So be very careful when you have heavy neighborhood vehicular traffic.

A Meow Poem

4/16/2015

Comments

I left my little kitty drinking milk from a bowl while hanging from the roof, I asked her how,
All she replied and said was meow
I bought her a new toy to keep her busy while i blogged, the ball went missing, i asked her how
She purred and butted my foot with her head and said, meow
Well, it is now grooming time, i couldn't find the brush to groom her fur
Then i saw her bouncing it around the floor, then she stopped, looked at me and purr
She is always hungry, i know she wants food by the way she wiggles her tail
one wiggle is for a nip of tuna, two for sardines, and five for a whale
When i sit she sometimes jumps up and curls in my lap and falls a sleep
Taking her little cat naps, while i feel her tiny heart beat

My cat and me, we are like two lonely outlaws
but if there was ever to be a standoff, she is always quick on the paws
But sometimes she has her own way, and makes my ranch look so mad
scratching on the walls instead of her scratch pad
But oh hell, i can forgive that
She is the only one i have, my black and white cat
She has been pretty quiet all week, i wonder why
Maybe she is jealous because i petted another cat, probably thinks she is goodbye
Come here my little precious, you i will never replace, you are forever mine
my tuna loving friend, my sneaky feline

How Cats Show Love To You

4/14/2015

Comments

Cats can be quite emotional like any other animal, in fact they show more emotions to their owners than most animals. The thing about a cat is that its hard to get their 100% trust and love, but when you do, you can be sure that you now have a fury fiery feline feeling flamboyantly loved. When you cat falls in love with you totally and sometimes want to show you that you are the one, they exhibit various activities towards us and these are just some of the common show of affection. Your cat however may do something different for or to you, such as share his tuna meal! But whatever the expression, we know what exactly it means.

Cats Show Love By:

Rubbing Their Head and Sides Against You
You may have experienced this and wonder if you should now go purchase that Front line Plus flea remover that you saw advertised a week ago. This is not the case of any nasty uninvited guest, but a simple case of the cat marking what it believes to be his/her property. That's right my cat owner friend, you have just been claimed by your cats. What the cat does when it actually rubs up its head and sides all over you is simply to leave its scent on you, when animals leave their scent on items, people it means this that this is their domain and belongs to them, in other words NO TRESPASSERS! Just be thankful he/she doesn't mark you with a little pee, that normally is way stronger than fur scent. So the next time you see your cat rubbing feverishly all over you, don't bolt to the pet shop and begin spraying your cat for fleas. Just rub back as it's rubbing is an emotion of love.

They Go Belly Up!
If you really know about cats, both big and small ones. You would know that when a cat goes on their back and expose their belly it shows a complete sign of trust with what ever animal is around them or whichever human is around them. When cats and many other animals in general exposes their underside, this is when the are most vulnerable to any form of attack and damage. when cats normally do this, it shows that they are at complete relaxation in their environment, trust and love the owner that they go belly up for. One other thing is that they are so accustom with you rubbing and scratching them all over they just turn on their backs to indicate that it is scratch and affection time. It is a sign that they do need a little you. So the next time you cat goes belly up he is not trying a new cat trick like springing from his back and clutching the ceiling with his paws. He/she is just showing you a little love and needs some in return.

The Glue Cat
You just can't seem to shake him. He is like a cop car locked unto some idiot who just parked in the no parking spot and the cops are about to give him a ticket and he speeds off trying to shake them on a rural highway. Everywhere you look you see your kitty beside you, even when you get up to take a leak he purrs on the door signalling that you have been in their too long. When your cat seems to always want to be near you, that is simply a signal of how much they love and appreciate that you are there with them and just wants to always be close to you to express their love and affection. All you need to do is just to show the same affection he does and be thankful your cat doesn't have the power to transform into a human else you would have a stalker or better yet a psychopath to deal with!

Purrs Continuously and Loud Around You
The cats purr can do so much, depending on the frequency that they cat purrs, the sound is able to heal our bodies in different ways. Some frequency of purrs are able to relieve stress, some can heal bruised flesh and some give strength and helps to heal broken bones. Only your cat can tell you why he purrs for you, but one of the most natural reason is that he / she is madly in love with you. They will purr in your presence and sometimes the purrs are accompanied by the rubbing of head and sides all over you. This is just their way of telling you that you are the number one human in their heart, isn't that sweet........or it could be a sign that you are so ill that you cat loves you so much and purrs around you a lot in order to heal you! So on one hand their is the Love of the cat for you, on the next you better go get a health check!

Sharing His /Her Tuna Fish
This has to be the ultimate way that you fury flamboyant feline will express love towards you. If you feed your cat tuna fish which he loves and you see him/her pushing the bowl towards you and purring at you the same time, this is the ultimate way that you can tell that your cat loves you. When your cat decided to share his/her tasty tuna fish with you, you know as a cat owner you are adored, loved and idolized by your cat. On the other hand if you see him pushing the food bowl to you, it could be that your cat is super smart and doesn't like that brand tuna and you should buy better next time.

How about showing back your cat a little love by getting him/her something nice. The cat dancer 301 is a fun toy for not only your cat, but allows you the pet owner to share in your cat's love fun and joy.
