Cats Stuff

I am a cat lover. I have two cats that share our home. Notice that I did not say that I own two cats; they are the type of animals that take offense with the idea of being owned. Cats are easy to live with. You do not need a lot of cats stuff to keep them happy.

Most of my friends and family members know that I am a cat lover and as a result the cats stuff that I have received over the years is starting to accumulate in our home. Some of the cats stuff is fun and tasteful and other things are not, but I have been keeping all the items that I have received. My husband feels that I need to start sorting through the cats stuff and dispose of some of it and display the rest. To help me with this project he bought me a corner curio.

The corner curio stands six feet tall. The back is mirrored and the front is convex glass. There are three glass shelves and a display light inside. The curio fits in the corner of the dining area perfectly. I decided that the cats stuff that I would display in the curio would be the statues that I have collected since I was a child. I started gathering the statues from around the house and from storage containers. I was very surprised to see the number of cat statues I have. Some are over 40 years old and others have been purchased recently. They are made from all different types of materials. I have several hand blown glass cats. One ceramic cat is very special to me because my mother painted it in a ceramics class that she was taking. That particular statue is of a mother cat carrying a baby kitten in her mouth. My mother did a very nice job of painting the eyes. I also have statues that are carved out of wood as well as stone. When my husband first brought home the curio cabinet I thought that I would have room to expand my collection through the coming years, but I was surprised that the cats stuff that I already have filled it completely. There was cats stuff left over that I needed to return to the areas where they were originally displayed.

When my husband saw that the curio was filled and there was left over cats stuff, he suggested that I no longer purchase any cat things for myself. Considering I have so many things given to me I think I will take his advice. Over the years I have bought cat themed souvenirs when we travel, I will need to decide what my next theme will be.

Cat Photos
... sleeping in a variety of positions and in a variety of places. I guess this is not surprising considering cats sleep about 20 hours out of every day. I thought it would be fun to make copies Cats Stuff of the sleeping cat photos and spread them throughout the guest bedroom. Nothing looks more relaxed than a cat sleeping, so I thought these cat photos would lend to a good nights rest. I am still trying to convince my husband that this is a good idea. This year I sent out holiday cards that included cat photos of our Siamese and long haired cat. I sent these greetings to the pets of our friends and signed our cat's names. Several of our friends fear that I am...

Pet Stuff
... that have a great deal of money. This is obvious in many ways, but one of the most glaring to me is the pet stuff that is in the market place. I would challenge anyone to find a retail store that does not have some type of pet stuff for sale. I first began noticing this Cats Stuff a couple of years ago over the holiday season. Stores that ordinary do not cater to pet stuff had displays of gifts for your pets. I did not find this to unusual because I know many people, including me, that purchase a gift for their pet during the holiday season. But the amount of pet stuff and the number of stores that handle the merchandise is exploding. You cannot go anywhere without seeing pet stuff. I have been going to the same barber for over twenty...

Cat Collar
... a cat collar. The first one I bought for him was in a bright red. I thought it looked very nice with his chocolate brown and beige coat. He would manage to slip the cat collar off Cats Stuff in a matter of minutes. I kept putting the collar on and he would take it off. Collars for cats have a stretchy piece of elastic in them as a safety feature in case the collar would get hooked on a fence or branch. After several attempts at getting him to wear the collar he hid it. I found the collar about three weeks later under the sofa. I told my husband that I thought Willie did not like the bright red color. My husband insisted that the cat just did not like having something around his neck. I went back to the...

Cat Leash
... good idea to put the cat Cats Stuff leash on your cat while you're in the house so it can acclimate itself. Once the cat begins to walk normally, it's time to head outside. Don't expect the first walk to go very far. Most cats will experience a sensory overload the first time out on the leash. It is best to just pick a spot where the cat can sniff around and not try to make the cat walk in a specific path. Forcing a cat to walk along a sidewalk while on a cat leash for the first time will only result in you dragging the cat. Let the cat lead. Once it becomes familiar with the scents and sounds of the outdoors it will begin to walk around. One important thing to remember when using a cat...

Party Stuff
... parents. I was embarrassed that I had saved all of these inexpensive decorations for over 25 years. I wanted my husband to help me throw Cats Stuff it out. He said that I might as well put the decorations on the garage sale. If no one bought the party stuff I could throw it away. I had over a hundred party favors between the two boxes. I placed them in bags of 10 and charged a quarter for them. I had bags of assorted paper plates with matching glasses. I put the Halloween stuff in one area and the holiday party decorations in another. By the time I was done going through the boxes I had two long tables that were full of party stuff. The evening before the sale my sister brought over her items. When she walked into the garage, where I had my items set up she started to laugh. She said that she could tell we were related because she had...

Kitten Collars

The clerk started showing the woman small leather kitten collars. The woman had stated that the kittens were growing fast so she Cats Stuff wanted kitten collars that would expand with them. I usually do not get involved with other peoples business, but I was concerned about the leather kitten collars. I explained to the woman and the clerk that I have owned cats all my life and that if you were going to put a collar on them it was...

Longhorn Stuff
... we needed to make was if we wanted to go with an elegant theme that incorporated a few longhorn things, or if we wanted to go over board with the longhorn stuff. We decided that since it is the tradition to have two retirement parties for a person, one that was an open house for clients, workers from other departments and colleagues, and one that was usually held at a local bar, we could do both elegant and over board. The second party at the local bar is usually people getting together after the first party to have a few drinks and tell stories about the person retiring. We contacted the bar owner and asked if we could bring in decorations for the backroom that we had reserved. He did not mind, as long as we removed them at the end of the evening. My co-worker and I went to work. We ordered...

... ordinarily have a pet section. I asked one of the sales clerks when this section of dog stuff had been added. She stated that it was part of their holiday campaign nation wide. It seems that people were requesting more items that they could purchase, not only for their dog, but for the dogs of their friends.

Feeding Kittens The Right Food
When it comes to caring for kittens, the first and most important consideration should be what it's fed. They should really be fed food specifically made for kittens instead of adult cat food.

A Story: The White Cat’s Heir
The traveller stood looking from the tap-room window of The Cauliflower  at the falling rain. The village street below was empty, and everything was quiet with the exception of the garrulous old man smoking with much enjoyment on the settle behind him. "It'll do a power o' good," said the ancient, craning his neck round the edge of the settle and turning a bleared eye on the Cats Stuff window. "I ain't like some folk; I never did mind a drop o' rain." The traveller grunted and, returning to the settle opposite the old man, fell to lazily stroking a cat which had strolled in attracted by the warmth of the small fire which smouldered in the grate...
