Living With Cats

Frisky

There once was a cat named Frisky
His actions were always kind of risky
Out of a second story window he’d jump
A quick escape ending with a thump
And off he’d go at a rapid pace
Just to get into some other cats face
Quite a row he would start
Then when satisfied he would depart
Homeward bound he would go
He’d created quite a show
Once at home and pleased with himself
He would sleep on his window perch shelf.

Cat Whiskers

Most cats have at least 24 movable whiskers which are twice as thick as their regular hairs. These “tactile hairs” are long and flexible which are located in rows on the whisker pad (between the top of the mouth and the nose). There are more of these “tactile hairs” on the eyebrows, chin and the back of their front legs. These whisker hairs are extremely sensitive and should never be washed or trimmed. Damaging these whiskers can cause the cat to be confused or disoriented by transmitting irritating sensations to its brain. Since the whiskers are sensitive to air currents they pick up vibrations to tell the cats presence, size and shape of obstacles without seeing or touching them. This also tends to dispel the myth that cats can see in the dark. In reality the whiskers help them navigate in low light thus allowing them to survive as nocturnal hunters. My Cats Heaven has ideal whisker bowls & feeders for cats! They are long bowls which enables them to eat comfortably by not irritating their sensitive whiskers.

CiCi

It was Christmas and my friend Janet had finished decorating the house, the yard and the tree. Everything was festive and beautiful. She was ready! But what she wasn’t ready for was a surprise Christmas gift! Grinning from ear to ear, her husband Jon, walked into the room with a box perched precariously in his hands and telling her to lift the lid. As Janet gingerly lifted the lid, a bright little fur ball popped up! It was the most adorable little Russian Blue kitten, and she had always wanted one. She got more than she bargained for with this little active bundle of fur! The house was her playground and all the pretty bright decorations to explore and play with. A kitten’s delight! Her favorite place to play was the Christmas tree. Seeing this, Janet immediately decided she needed a  cat gym for CiCi to climb on. Once the gym was set up and CiCi discovered it she became totally enthralled and the Christmas tree was no longer her favorite toy.

VuVuZela

VuVuZela is a beautiful young cat with an adorable white face. Being young she is very energetic and playful. She can find all kinds of things to get herself into mischief or trouble. Her “mom” ordered one of the beautiful cat trees with silk leaves and a “nest” in the top for napping from My Cats Heaven. After it arrived and had been assembled, VuVuZela was so excited and taken with it she played and played until she was exhausted and crawled into the nest for a three hour nap. This beautiful, practical and decorative addition to your décor is a present the young cat really delighted in. I know my cat really enjoys hers!
