Looking After Your Cat

Looking After Your Cat

The cat is rather an enigma. Just as the lion is the king of the jungle, domestic cats are servants to no-one. Having said that , cats can be very affectionate companions if we, their human pets meet the cats’ simple needs.

The cat is not a pack animal and so does not have a tradition of subservience in a hierarchy. It does not try to please its owner by being obedient, like a dog does. Rather, it does as its owner wishes only if the cat is going to get some advantage from it.

My cats know that they are not allowed in the bedrooms, but they sneak in there any chance they get. They will hide in various places and will not come when called, but they come running if I am putting food in their dishes as I am calling them. They magically appear.

People often do not understand cats. They believe that the cat is only interested in itself, its own comfort and territory. It is true that a cat can look after itself and survive in the ‘wild,’ but a pet cat will give as it gets and cats do have feelings. If all you do is feed the cat and do not give it much attention, it will keep to itself and just use your house like a hotel. However, if you give the cat lots of fuss and attention, talking to it, cuddling it and so on, it will give you lots of attention too. In fact, if you want a better relationship with your cat then take a look at How to Make Your Cat Adore You by Dr R Peters, a true cat lover who lives with many cats.

Our cats give us cuddles and spend a lot of time with us, joining in various activities in the house and garden (often as spectators). The female cats tend to be very ‘motherly’ with the children, surveying over them and accompanying them when they go for a walk in the village. We had one cat, Lily, who always counted everyone in at the end of the day. She sat up on the big French cupboard, in the kitchen, watching the door. She would stay there until everyone was home, then she felt that her daily surveillance was over and she could curl up in her basket for the night. We called her our guardian angel..

So, having cats in your life can be very rewarding, but it can be stressful if you do not get the right advice so be sure to check that book out here

Cat Power

Welcome to my cat log. Here, you will learn about cat care and tips and secrets on cat health, as well as how to breed cats.
I will be telling some cat tails, whoops tales! Sorry, I could not resist that play on words.

This is Dodo, a female Siamese cat who adopted us. You will read more tales about this cat and her family later.

As you can see, Dodo was rather round with babies at the time the picture was taken.

There is an excellent new e-book called "I Am Siamese" by Janine Connor.
It covers everything you need to know about selecting , owning, breeding and caring for Siamese cats. Having been adopted by a couple of Siamese cats, I must say that this book is very interesting and full of useful information.

Take a look at the book for yourself.

You will feel so much better knowing all this information. If you want a healthy Siamese cat,
you owe it to yourself and your 'Meezer' to know as much about Siamese cats as possible.
