If he is long haired, brush his fur three to four times a week.

Clip your cat's claws monthly, if your cat's fur is dark (Black, dark gray, dark brown, etc.), his claws will probably dark, too. If the pink bundle of nerves within the claws is hard to see, you might what a specialist to clip your cats claws.

Grooming your cat is a special and important time for you and your cat. Grooming your cat can help you bond with him and keeps him healthy.

Thanksgiving With Pumpkin

One day, Pumpkin the kitten walked into the kitchen. Pumpkin's owner was busy making food. "I wonder what she is going to do with all of this food." she thought, as she jumped on to the counter. There where pies and tarts dumplings and cranberry sauce sprawled all over the counter. Pumpkin almost knocked over a huge bowl of mashed potatoes. Her owner picked her up and set her on the floor.

Pumpkin sighed. Now, she sprang onto the dining room table. There where colorful pumpkins from red to orange to yellow. Round, white plates were at the place of every chair. A brown, wicker horn sat in the center of the table. The horn was filled with wax fruit, including apples and pears. Golden paper leaf cut-outs where laid down on every plate.

Pumpkin leaped down from the table, dizzy with excitement. Just then, the doorbell rang. Pumpkin's owner quickly ran to the door and opened it. Three people greeted her; in their hands they held even MORE food. Then the humans all sat down to eat.

********

Later that day, the other people left and Pumpkin's owner walked up to her and gave her a dish full of Pumpkin's favorite food.

"Happy Thanksgiving, Pumpkin!" she said.

Pumpkin happily ate the food. Then she curled up in her little cat bed.

"Happy Thanksgiving," Pumpkin meowed.

Kitty Tips-Feeding Your Cat

Cat foods can have multiple different textures; dry, semimoist, and wet foods. Dry foods are best to feed a young cat, because they clean their teeth. When a cat is older, sometimes it is easier for them to eat wet food or semimoist food. Depending on the life stage, kitten (Less then one year old), adult (One to six years old), and mature adult (Seven to fifteen or more years old), it is up to you, your cat, and your vet to decide on witch food is best for your cat.

Wight gain can be a big problem. The amount of food given to your cat daily differs depending on your cats size. Half a cup to a cup of food is a good amount. Finding a properly balanced food brand can be hard. Nutrients that your cat should have are, vitamin A, C , and E, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, carbohydrates, fats, and omegas three and six.

Cats need to have grass to chew. If they have eaten anything toxic, grass will make them regurgitate. You can buy grass that is healthy for cats to eat. If you don't do this, your cat might eat your potted plants inside your house. Some of which may be poisonous.

Be sure to give your cat the proper type of food (dry, wet, and semimoist), the right amount (this depends on your cat), and a perfect balance of nutrients with some grass to have a healthy cat.

The wind

The wind blows on my face and my body. The wind blows my skirt, my hair and the grass beneath my feet. The wind makes me think of me running with my horse and my cat beside me.

"Meow!" Cats Speak Out 1#

Ice tilted his head, about to pounce on a sock. He liked playing with socks. 'Plip' he landed on the sock. "What fun this is!", he exclaimed as he began to cover the sock with a bubblegum wrapper and invisible dirt. Ice walked out of the bedroom for there was too much to clean up in there.

He ran into the kitchen to grab a snack. There he searched the counters and found a few pieces of potato. How did it get there? He didn't know. Though one thing was for sure, it was yummy!

After licking up the potato scraps, he jumped off the counter. Ice had just spotted the couch. He scratched the soft cloth. The couch was now marked his.

Ice sighed. What a day! He had cleaned the bedroom, wiped the counters, and marked the couch his (by scratching it). "Well, at least I got a days work done!" he meowed joyfully.

The Adventures of Dew, Storm and Star 3#

Storm and Jinx had brought home plenty of prey. Star grabbed a minnow out of the pile. "Chip!" she called. Chip, who lived close by, ran toward her. "Yes, Star?" he meowed. "Would you like to eat with us? There is plenty of food. Jinx and Storm caught it." Star asked. "Okay! I'll go get Cocoa." Chip called over his shoulder, racing for his home.

As she watched Chip go, she felt a soft touch on her back. Star looked behind her. A wave of joy flooded over her when she saw her mother, Dew. "Hello, Star. If you want, you can play with Chip after eating, but be shore to play in the clearing, where I can see you."

Just then, Chip emerged from the heather, Cocoa close behind him. "Chip! Cocoa! I'll get something for you to eat-" Star exclaimed. "No, it's fine." Cocoa said, purring with amusement.

********

After a good meal, Star and Chip played fight. Star ducked as Chip swiped at her. Star pounced at him, but missed. Chip jumped on her, and they rolled around together. After a few more playful attacks, the two departed.

"Good-bye, Chip!" she called after him. She turned toward the hollow log that she slept in. The setting sun caused the clouds to become a pink, orange, red, or dove gray. Birdsong was her music, and soft ferns where her bed. "Sweet dreams." Dew whispered in her ear. Star fell asleep, joy filling her dreams.

Cat's Day

With eyes glistening like stars,
And whiskers constantly twitching,
Cat creeps across the grass.

With needle-like claws,
And sharp, ivory-white teeth,
Cat leaps on a mouse.

With tail sweeping the sodden ground,
And silky, soft gray fur,
Cat enjoys her meal.

With nose in the air,
And mouth slightly open,
Cat slinks into the shade.

With eyelids slowly drooping,
And drowsy purrs erupting,
Cat sleeps.

Meet Tiger

Tiger walked into his owners bedroom, after a nice midnight meal. To announce his presence,meowed, "Mew! Mew! I'm here!" he cried. No answer. Tiger sighed. He desperately wanted tub water. Even though his owner was asleep, he was still going get some. So, he lay down on the floor, and rolled over, belly up. He waited, and waited until he fell fast asleep

The next morning, Tiger awoke, just before his human. He meowed a distinctive "Murr?" to let his owner know that he was there. When his human looked at him, he waited just one second before he flipped over, and trotted out the door and sat down.

When his owner went into the hall to go downstairs, Tiger ran into the bathroom and jumped into the tub. "Oh, alright." his owner sighed, turning the tub water on. 'Now, THAT is the right way to get a drink.' he thought as he lapped up the flowing water.

Charm the cat

Charm is a long-haired gray cat.
Her blue eyes sparkle in the sun.
She sleeps in her cozy bed. She is content.
She eats from her bowl of food
and plays with a piece of string.

Afterward, she is very tired, so she sleeps in her bed.
When she wakes up, she takes a walk

around the house.

The Adventures of Dew, Storm and Star 2#

Storm awoke, bathed in sunlight. He pushed himself to his feet, blinking his eyes open. He walked out of the hallow log that he, his mate, Dew, and their kitten, Star slept in. The green grass bent underneath his paws as he walked along. Dew-laden bushes drooped under the wight of the flowers that hung on them. The sun sparked the dew on the grass and made Storm feel like he was surrounded by small stars. His dark blue eyes reflected the blazing sun.

"Hello!" a soft voice startled him. Storm wiped his head around to see a black-and-white she-cat with dazzling blue eyes standing behind him. "Oh, hi Jinx! You startled me." Storm meowed, sighing with relief. "I'm sorry, Storm. I just stopped by to see how you where feeling." Jinx said, sitting down. "I'm better! I was just about to hunt. Would you like to come with me?" Storm asked. "Why of course! Lets go!" Jinx exclaimed. So, they ran for the pond. They brushed past the last few ferns and bushes until they reached the pond.

Storm lost a frog in the deep-blue water. Storm turned to Jinx, who's blue gaze was resting on a minnow. In one lightning-fast move, Jinx flicked a fish out of the water and bit its neck, flicking shining droplets of water from her raspberry-colored nose and ivory-white whiskers. Jinx placed the minnow on the shore. "Jinx, I think that I'm going to hunt closer to the forest. I'll meet you back here later." he mewed, starting off. "Okay." Jinx replied, tail twitching at the site of another minnow. Storm raced away.

*********

Storm returned to the pond with a mouse and two sparrows. Jinx had caught three minnows and a frog. Then, side by side, Storm and Jinx walked home.

Meet Feather

Feather purred as her owners pet her. With a final rub against her humans toe, she meowed a good-bye and walked over to her dish. She loved her life. Nice owners, and plenty of food. What more could a girl want?

After a good meal, Feather went into her owner's bedroom for a look around. There was always something to explore or play with in there. A green hair ribbon lay on the floor. Feather silently began to stalk it, knowing that if she waited any longer, the ribbon might flee. She pounced on it, ripping little green strands out.

Purring with satisfaction, she walked out of the room with the string in her mouth. This was the only life to live.

The Adventures of Dew, Storm and Star 1#

Dew walked over to her mate, Storm. "How are you,Storm?" Dew asked, worried about what the answer might be. Storm had been sick lately, just a small cold, Dew was still very worried about it, though. "I think that the cold is clearing up!" Storm replied, knowing Dew's worry. "That's good to know." Dew purred, rubbing against him. Just then, their kitten, Star, skid past on the sodden grass, Chip, her older companion, fallowing close behind.

"WHERE, may I ask, is your mother, Chip?" Storm called after them. Chip stopped and, sadly, looked at his white paws. "Well...um...she found some humans and she gos to there house every day." Chip explained. Dew felt bad for him. Cocoa, his mother, was never focused, although, she was a sweet and caring mother."Well, Chip, don't travel to far." Dew reminded him."I'll remember that, Dew, thank you!"He called over his shoulder as he raced off.

Dew now turned to look at Storm."I'm going to hunt. Star and Chip will be hungry after their mini adventure." Dew said. "Okay. I feel very tiered.I'm going to rest a while." Storm meowed as he walked into the large log that they slept in. Dew ran over to him and gave his cheek a lick, "Good-bye, Storm." She purred and walked off.

********

Dew's hunt went well. She had hunted, two fish, a mouse, and three frogs. When she came back home, she was greeted enthusiastically by Star and Chip. "I'm glad your back. Star and Chip are anxious to tell you about their 'mini adventure'."
