This article is worth a look, it may surprise you just what plants can make your cat sick.

We can forget in our good will Christmas cheer that a lot of the foods we love and enjoy over the festive season is deadly stuff for our cat. Safest option is just remember that whatever we eat is human food so don't give it to the cat. By all means give them special treats but only the ones designed for a carnivore, your cat. Some special cuts of fresh chicken, fresh fish or even home made cat treats baked in the oven will tempt and treat your feline friend. Here is an interesting article to guide you about the don't of feeding your feline friend those Christmas temptations.http://andmycat.com/2013/12/toxic-temptations-foods-your-cat-should-never-eat.html

Here is an easy home made recipe to treat your cat.

Chicken treats for Cats

                    Take 1 lb. of fresh organic free-range boneless chicken breast and freeze until firm but not         frozen (about two hours). This makes the chicken easier to cut.

                    Preheat oven to 200°F is equal to 93.33°C

                     Oil a large cookie sheet

                     With a large, sharp chef’s knife slice thin. Then cut into smaller pieces about 1 inch square

                     Place chicken pieces on baking sheet

                     Sprinkle with sea salt (about half a tsp.)

                    Bake for 2 hours or until crispy

                     Once cool, transfer to an airtight storage container.

The treats can be broken into smaller pieces if desired. These treats are healthy but not a meal replacement. Limit treats to a couple a day. While the treats are cooling, the smell will be irresistible so keep your kitties away.

How to bath your cat

Let's be clear from the outset, cats hate baths so if you embark on this decision remember it isn't for the fainthearted. I know this from personal experience after a particularly awful occasion when I had no choice but to bath a flea infested cat. She was a feisty cat anyway but she really let me have it when it came to a bath. Naively I thought the best place to do it was the shower cubicle,  a place I could close the door on her to prevent escape. Of course I knew I would get wet so undressed with a bucket of medicated water I attempted to bath Cleo. To say she was angry would be an understatement. She threw out all claws in my direction and hooked into the skin around my knee with determined ferocity. Bleeding and in considerable pain I decided this was not a good idea and withdrew to consider Plan B.
