Mum's Casserole
Although our
cats free-graze all day on Premium cat biscuits,
we also offer high-quality tinned cat food
as well as snacks such as Fish, Tuna in Spring
Water, Grated Cheese and Fresh Steak Mince.
After much experimentation, I have finally
come up with a mixture of my own that everyone
of my cats and kittens love, and lick their
plates clean. The only members of our animal
family that do not like this mix would be
our two large Rough Coated Collies. Usually
if the cats leave any food on their plates,
the dogs are allowed to "finish off".
With this mixture, they have been missing
out big-time.
Keep in mind that these portions are enough
to feed my cats for one evening meal. It can
easily be made in either smaller portions
or frozen in individual meal sizes. |

HINTS AND TIPS
Identifying Kittens
If you have two similar kittens in a litter and
need to identify a particular one that has been
sold, paint one or two of its toenails with a
coloured nail polish. Remember to inform the new
owner that you have done this, just in case the
kitten is entered in a show before it wears off!
Hair Dryer
To avoid upset at bath-time, get your cat used
to the sound of the hairdryer by having the cat
sit with you in the bathroom, turn on the dryer
and use the hot air to chase a table-tennis ball
or piece of paper around the floor.
Birthing Box
Use incontinence pads for the birthing box to
keep the Mother cat nice and dry.
Pants for the Boys
To allow your stud cat special time to socialise
in the family home, try Pampers disposable nappies
with a hole cut out for the tail.
Sore Eye
Place one teabag in half a cup of boiling water
and allow to cool. Bathe the eye gently with cotton
wool. Repeat as necessary. If the condition persists
or shows signs of infection, consult your Veterinary
Surgeon immediately.
Diarrhoea
Mix Slippery Elm with wet cat food daily. Again,
check with your Veterinary Surgeon if condition
persists more than 24 hours.
CATNIP RECIPE
Pick catnip (and flower heads) and leave to dry
out naturally. Rinse catnip and lay out to dry on
a paper towel. When dry, place on baking paper in
the oven on low until crumbly or alternatively place
in the microwave and cook on medium, one minute
at a time until leaves are crisp. Store in an airtight
container or bag and use sparingly.
RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow
Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close
to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special
friends so they can run and play together. There
is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends
are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored
to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed
are made whole and strong again, just as we remember
them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one
small thing; they each miss someone special to them,
who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together but the day comes
when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying
over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster
and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special
friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous
reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands
again caress the beloved head, and you look once
more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long
gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together
