^Why Raised Cat Bowls Could be Ideal for Your Cats : Ergonomic

A cat can be a great addition to your household as they make great pets. They are relatively low maintenance and can provide companionship and entertainment. Still, before getting a cat, it’s essential to consider the cost of food, litter, and veterinary care. It would also help to think whether you have the time and ability to care for a cat, as they require regular feeding, grooming, and attention. Once you’ve decided to get a cat, you can adopt one from a local animal shelter or rescue organization or purchase one from a breeder.

More than 10 Awesome Joys of Having a Cat at Home

written by Marie Gizelle

Have you ever watched a video of how it is having a cat? I often do, even rescue cat videos, and home videos of purely just cats. Although we have cats of our own, and I do film them, I feel happy watching others’ videos too. Cats, when you are near them, can make you relax – especially when they purr. Well, it may be different if it’s not a home cat but stray cats can be sweet and relaxing too.

Having a cat has pros and cons as it is with other pets. They have a direct effect to our behaviours and attitudes. Some times, people would say that cats inherit their owner’s personalities. I’m not sure if it’s true, but it can also be the other way around. So because it’s international cat day, let’s point out some of the benefits and disadvantages of having a cat at home.

Cats Will Steal Your Heart

written by admin

Growing up, I was always fond of dogs. I always had dogs or puppies and I had, I believe, given them the best care a pet owner can. Then, I only like dogs…cats were not very friendly to me and I thought that I will remain a dog-lover all of my life.

That was until we had cat-sitted for 2 cats an Aunt own. Eventually, we would want to have cats having experienced how sweet and homey they are.

In less than a month after giving back the cats we cared for, we were looking for our own cats. We originally planned to get kittens but through some turn of events, we ended up having three adorable male (mid-aged) cats. We saw a listing of 2 Ragdolls being given away, there were no photos but I thought, we can just visit and see. I immediately messaged the poster and she replied after two days and we arranged a visit. The owner would be going to a pension home and couldn’t take them cats with her.

On the morning of the arranged meet up, I realized that she did write Ragdolls in the ad, so I asked my daughter, “Aren’t ragdolls big?” We did google up and yes, we had to buy bigger cat litter boxes for them. Good thing we had the cat stroller at home (owned by aunt) and it was spacious enough for one. When we got to the owner’s flat, she gave us another carrier as two Ragdolls in the stroller would make little room to wiggle.

Cats Other Pet Matters

Wanting to Get Pets? Try Pet Sitting First.

written by admin

Truth be told, I’m a dog-person. I grew up with dogs. The only cats I knew were those that came to our house to be fed…they weren’t friendly. 😀 For three months, we were able to sit 2 cats, of different personalities. They’re owned by an aunt who has to stay away for some months.

Above is a sweet Siamese cat that loves to sleep on the bed, in between one’s legs. (lol) She is very playful and would go on long minutes catching a toy.

The one below is a Russian blue cat, not as energetic, she hides a lot…but, she wakes up early morning to ask for food.

The two cats stayed with us for 3 months, and we fell in love. I can’t say that we would have gotten our own if we didn’t get to spend time with these two first. If you are not sure if you would like having cats (or dogs) around, try pet sitting first. Here are some reasons why you should lend a hand to other owners who needs to be away from their beloved pets.

Brightens up your home

Firstly, having pets greeting you by the door takes the stress out of your day. If you are alone at home, they amusingly reply when you talk to them. ^_^ Thus, never a dull moment.
Perfect stress-relievers

A dog’s wagging tail is a sign of it being excited to see you, a cat’s purr shows that it’s happy being with you. These small things make your home a lot different. New living beings walking about and trying to communicate with you by barking or meowing makes home life more interesting.

No strings attached

(Well, almost.) You know that you are not keeping the pets, but in the process you can decide if you truly want to get one. Subsequently, you can foster, too.
Earn on the side. That’s a bonus.

For the three months that these two cats were with us, we had to adjust to a number of things… But they were good ones, for instance, having to wake up earlier, keeping the table clean from leftovers. Also removing cat hair from everywhere often, and cleaning up more often than before. If you have the option of bringing the pet to your home instead of going to where its home is, the better. But the latter is also a cool way to know how you would like having pets.

Sweet Cat!

written by Marie

Cats and dogs are popular pets for kids, these cuddly and playful animals are quite hard to resist that some parents avoid taking their kids to the pet shop until the kids are ready to have their own pets. Kids can be very persistent once they have set their minds into getting something that they really want. Deciding on having a furry pet in the house can be difficult especially when it comes to children with allergies. Choosing the right pet highly depends on the family lifestyle and personality of the child.

One of the most practical pets that parents can give their kids is a cat. These sweet, playful and adorably furry friends are self-groomers and require less exercise than dogs. However, this doesn’t mean that cat owners need not groom their cats. These affectionate creatures would appreciate a few brush strokes on their manes from their owners too. A five to ten minute a day grooming period should be enough to make them feel cared for. Cats reward their owners with loyalty and companionship. They are considered as great human companions because of their faithfulness and love for communication. Purring, pawing or cuddling is their way of expressing their affection while their body language and behavior are usually reflective of their mood. The cat’s playful and curious nature also makes them fun to be with that kids can even be entertained by simply watching their antics. Pet owners who love to teach their pets a few tricks won’t be disappointed in the intelligence and learning ability of their feline companions.

These are just some of the reasons why people love having pet cats in their homes. But there is one reason that keeps parents from getting a cat for their children and that is allergies. Asthma and allergies shouldn’t be taken lightly, but it doesn’t have to be a hindrance in getting a pet for kids. Having pets can help kids outgrow their allergies by taking proper precautions. Parents can choose cat breeds that produce lower allergens than others and limit the child’s exposure to the cat to minimize allergy risks.
