Don’t wait a minute longer. Read this letter now…..this is the answer you’ve been waiting for”</p>
<p>If you’d like to discover the scientifically proven secrets to successfully raising and caring for your precious, fussy Siamese in optimal health and happiness then this will be the most exciting message you read all year.</p>
<p>“My name is Andrej Brummer, I am a Biological Scientist who has combined my extensive academic research and life long passion for the Siamese cat breed to create the worlds premier guide on the often misunderstood Siamese cat (or Meezer to the Siamese set). A lot of people don’t understand just how distinctive this breed is from other cats and how Siamese have their own unique set of requirements for optimal health. Ive done it all: from raising darling Siamese kittens to being involved in breeding and showing cats.</p>
<p>I don’t mind admitting I am a Meezer junkie. So after discovering the total lack of quality, specific information around on the breed and the conflicting advice given, I decided to put together an easy to read, simple to understand, step-by-step guide that absolutely anyone of any age and experience can use.</p>
<p>In my new ebook the “Ultimate Secrets to Siamese Cats” I have jam packed all the information I’ve learnt from my scientific study and personal experience in keeping and training Siamese cats.</p>
<p>“My passion for Siamese Cats began when I was 9, my mother surprised us one Easter with a gorgeous 1 year old seal point male who we named “Yao”. We instantly fell in love. That Easter we all found it difficult to tear ourselves away from Yaos’ side, even to find our Easter eggs!</p>
<p>But our joy only lasted a few weeks. You see, something was terribly wrong. After the easter holiday our Yao gradually became despondent and sick. Our young hearts were broken as we looked on helplessly. We tried to help him, but even the vet didn’t know what to do. It took a last ditch, extremely anxious call to a top breeder to realise that Yao was not like a normal cat and was gravely ill when we weren’t giving him the specific attention his breed required. We didn’t recognize the early warning signs and wouldn’t have had enough knowledge to act even if we had.</p>
<p>On that day I swore I would learn whatever it took to keep happy, healthy Siamese cats. That promise took me to university to study zoology and animal physiology in scientific detail, even undertaking much research additional to my studies. That promise also moved me to create this guide, so no-one would have to suffer the pain we&#8230;<a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/?wpcb_cloak=1&#038;url=aHR0cDovL2J1c29wYnVyLmJydW1tZXIyLmhvcC5jbGlja2JhbmsubmV0Lw=" target="_blank" class="wpcb_read_more_button_small">read more</a><br /><a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/?wpcb_cloak=1&#038;url=aHR0cDovL2J1c29wYnVyLmJydW1tZXIyLmhvcC5jbGlja2JhbmsubmV0Lw=" target="_blank" class="wpcb_read_more_button"><img src="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/wpcbank/buttons/77.png" width="392" height="130" /></a></p>

<p>Dear Friend, If you are a true cat lover, this is the most important letter you&#8217;ll read all year. Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p>You&#8217;re about to learn exactly what your cat is communicating to you through body language and her various noises!</p>
<p>You&#8217;re about to discover exactly how to train your cat so it does exactly what you want, when you want (such as come when called, never scratch the furniture or bite, use the human toilet or litter box perfectly, eat what you give it, and be more affectionate!</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll have a much closer, happier relationship with your cat, even if you already get on really well!</p>
<p>You probably didn&#8217;t even realize you could train your cat. Well rest assured, it&#8217;s easy when you know how.</p>
<p>I love cats, and found the more I learnt, the more there was to know! Cats are incredible and unique. Sadly, most people don&#8217;t know how to fix behavior problems and think their cat is &#8220;just born that way&#8221; Have you ever had a problem with your cat, like urinating in the wrong place, or scratching, biting, being a fussy eater, not coming when called, bolting out the door, or not being affectionate? Well guess what?</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not your cat&#8217;s fault either. The truth is any cat&#8217;s behavior can be changed. The problem is that 99% of everything you&#8217;ve heard about cat behavior and training is wrong. In fact &#8230;some of it will actually make your cat behave worse!</p>
<p>Here Are Some Amazing Facts About Training Cats &#8230;And why you shouldn&#8217;t even think about training your cat until you read every word of this letter!</p>
<p>2Cats can be easily housebroken &#8230;but popular house training methods (like scolding, &#8220;catching them in the act&#8221;, rubbing their nose in it) &#8230;and other methods often backfire with these cats!</p>
<p>3Cats have a special mental &#8220;trigger&#8221; that can be used to make them obey your every command like you had a special &#8220;kitty remote control&#8221;. (Hint: It&#8217;s NOT food or treats)</p>
<p>The reason why is because my simple little training system has become wildly popular &#8230;and it&#8217;s making them look bad! I know that sounds ridiculous but it&#8217;s true.</p>
<p>With my training system you can teach your cat to come when called, play without biting or scratching, stay off the table, walk on a leash, do cute tricks and games and even use a human toilet!</p>
<p>In fact, in the short time this web site has been on the Internet, 785 (and counting) other cat owners from 11 different countries have used my training methods. Why?</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t take weeks. And you don&#8217;t have to pay someone a fortune to come to your home and train your cat. And what&#8217;s best is you don&#8217;t have to deal with any yelling, scolding, or punishment of any kind. It&#8217;s all about you and your cat having FUN together &#8230;and getting super-fast results. Cats can be trained to do just about&#8230;<a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/?wpcb_cloak=1&#038;url=aHR0cDovL2J1c29wYnVyLnNlY3VyZTI1Ni5ob3AuY2xpY2tiYW5rLm5ldC8" target="_blank" class="wpcb_read_more_button_small">read more</a><br /><a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/?wpcb_cloak=1&#038;url=aHR0cDovL2J1c29wYnVyLnNlY3VyZTI1Ni5ob3AuY2xpY2tiYW5rLm5ldC8" target="_blank" class="wpcb_read_more_button"><img src="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/wpcbank/buttons/77.png" width="392" height="130" /></a></p>

Did you just get a new Bengal cat and have no idea how to care for it?</p>
<p>Do you want to know the best, the fastest, and the easiest way to care for your Bengal cat so that it lives a long and healthy life, without getting really frustrated and without spending so much money and time?</p>

<p>Within the following pages are the revelations to a brand new eBook on the secrets to how you could carefully select, buy, and raise a happy, healthy, and well-behaved Bengal cat. This eBook is perfect for you whether you are presently a Bengal cat owner or an aspiring one.</p>
<p>For a fact, Bengal cats have a wild ancestry—the Asian Leopard Cat. The only consideration that you must remember is that Bengal cats have a much more intense personality than all the other domestic felines out there.</p>
<p>During this length of time, I have perfected methods on how to really raise Bengal kittens and cats that have no health and behavioral issues that the buyer could have a hard time dealing with.</p>
<p>With this, comes “Bengal Cats Exposed” — a downloadable eBook that contains all the concepts that I have strengthened through the years.</p>
<p>The strategies and concepts guarantee you an easy life of caring for your new Bengal cat or kitten that will absolutely lessen your worries.</p>
<p>Bengal cats are expensive so you want to make sure that you get a healthy kitten from a reputable breeder. Unfortunately there are many unethical, backyard breeders who just want your money.</p>
<p>Bengal cats are special and unique kind of breed. Special knowledge and thorough understanding is required to grow a healthy and thriving cat. Unfortunately there is a ton of wrong information out there.</p>
<p>Bengal cats have many unique characteristics. Often people don’t understand them and end up throwing their cat out on the street (or surrendering it to rescue center) because they simply can’t manage it. Only proper knowledge and understanding can help to avoid this.</p>
<p>This is one set of techniques that are very well-practiced and well-proven personally. I have placed my caring touch into these strategies that will definitely make you a more effective Bengal cat owner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some people who believe that unless a cat is able to come in or go out of their house or flat it is cruel. What these people are basically saying is that if you live in a high rise flat or for some other reason cannot allow a cat out you should not have one.<div id="attachment_333" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/file000527413496.jpg"><img src="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/file000527413496.jpg" alt="cat care" title="file000527413496" width="200" height="299" class="size-full wp-image-333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">It is just like TV</p></div></p>
<p>There is little if any evidence that house cats are any worse off or have a lesser quality of life than those who can come and go freely. There are several reasons apart from flat dwelling that may mean a cat cannot leave the home. In the case of blind or deaf cats it may simply be too dangerous for them to be out and about. This can also be true if you live close to a busy road. Your cat might also have a serious infectious disease feline immunodeficiency virus (a.k.a. feline AIDS) are kept inside to prevent them from passing it on to other cats; etc. In this case you have no choice..</p>
<p>In a study made by the American Veterinary Association they found that cats that spend their lives inside the home are in fact, healthier, happier and live longer than those that are free to roam outside. </p>
<p>The one big problem for a cat that is house bound is boredom. That is why it can sometimes be a good idea to have 2 cats so that they can play together. If this is not possible you need to make sure that you spend time playing with your cat when you are at home. Also supplying toys and other play things will help to keep your cat content. </p>
<p>Indoor cats often like to sit in the window and watch the world going by. You may think this shows some desire to go outside but experts say this is not so. To a cat the window is just like a giant television screen and they simply like watching the passing movement. </p>
<p>The reason house cats live longer is that they are not exposed to the same risks as other cats. Unfortunately many cats are lost through traffic accidents or are injured in cat fights.<br />
House cats are also protected from catching infectious diseases from other animals. </p>
<p>The truth is that providing a cat is always kept in a house or flat it will be perfectly happy However if you have a cat that is used to having the freedom to roam it is unlikely to enjoy losing the freedom. Therefore, if you know that any cat you are going to have will be house bound it would be best to gat a kitten rather than  a rescue cat whose history you don&#8217;t know.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By being aware of how your cat is feeling and what it is doing you will help to ensure that its health remains at an optimum level.</p>
<p>There are various different signs that will let you know when your cat is not feeling the best or when some action is necessary where you might need to take it to the vet for a checkup.<a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/31AK471q+SL._SL500_AA300_.jpg"><img src="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/31AK471q+SL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" alt="cat care" title="31AK471q+SL._SL500_AA300_" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-329" /></a></p>
<p>For instance, if you find that your cat is vomiting, it is not necessarily a problem unless it appears to be apathetic and low on energy.<br />
Cats will eat grass to induce vomiting often to eliminate hair that they&#8217;ve ingested while grooming themselves.<br />
If this is happening consistently then you might need to spend a little more time grooming your cat to remove the excess hair and stop it from swallowing it when it licks itself.</p>
<p>Cold food can also cause your cat to vomit and it is not a good idea to take the cat food directly from the refrigerator and feed it to your pet.<br />
Heat the food in a microwave for a few seconds before placing it on the plate and you might find that your cat has a lot less problems with its food.</p>
<p>If you find that your cat is scratching itself quite a lot then this can be a sign that it needs additional grooming to remove fleas or ticks.</p>
<p>You can often see flea dirt in the fur and even if you can&#8217;t find the fleas when grooming this is a sign that they are there and need to be eliminated.</p>
<p>There are various different treatments available for fleas, from pills to powders, and even collars that can be worn around the neck.<br />
You need to be careful when putting a collar on a cat as they like to climb and these can get caught in branches and other things that could result in dire and life threatening circumstances.</p>
<p>Some of the flea treatments can also make your cat feel unwell for a day or two afterwards so look out for any signs and use an alternative treatment next time if you feel that it has been upsetting your cat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a cat or kitten becomes part of your household you are going to have to buy cat food for your new pet. The question though when you go to buy cat food is which sort should I get? The choice at first can be quite bewildering. The range and choice of cat food has grown considerably in recent years.<a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/file7791293387807.jpg"><img src="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/file7791293387807.jpg" alt="cat food" title="file7791293387807" width="100" height="66" class="alignright size-full wp-image-324" /></a></p>
<p>Before the introduction of tin cat food, pouches, dry food and all the rest most cats tended to eat the leftovers from their owner’s meals. They might be given some of the cheaper portions of fresh fish such as cod cheeks but there were no specialist pet foods. </p>
<p>There does appear to be a clear connection with the development of these cat foods with the fact that generally cats seem to live longer now than in the past. However, how do you make sense of the wide selection available when you go out to buy cat food? Most food stores and supermarkets have a selection of the popular cat foods. Whether you buy the tinned versions or those coming in a pouch is purely down to which you and your cat prefer.  The pouches tend to be in a one portion size which makes it easier to gauge how much to give your pet, but generally the tinned varieties tend to work out cheaper. </p>
<p>When you visit vets they may entice you to buy cat food from a display in their waiting rooms. These are often the top of the range cat foods that are at the top end of the price range. If you choose to buy ct food from your vets you can be assured that you are getting quality but not necessarily value for money. </p>
<p>Many of the cat foods on offer at your vets will be of the dry food “crunchie” variety. Dry foods are also available from food and pet stores and are very popular with some cats and their owners. The important factor that you need to remember if feeding your cat dry food is to make sure they have a readily accessible supply of fresh water. A cat needs to drink plenty of water if they have a dry food diet or otherwise they could develop kidney problems.</p>
<p>When you first get a cat the question of their food is going to be very much trial and error. Your pet will quickly show you which brands and types of food it prefers. Be aware though that cats just like humans and can be fickle quickly going on or off certain foods. When you go to buy cat food it is a good idea to bring a little variety into your cats diet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cat Health is a subject close to the mind of most cat owners. We do not like to see our pets suffering and often go to a great deal of effort and expense to keep them fit and healthy. However, just like people a cat can be prone to accidents and mishaps and for that reason it is advisable to have a feline first aid kit available in the house. Just like the first aid kit we keep for general medical emergencies it does not have to be elaborate.<a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/first-aid-kit-BE-2.jpg"><img src="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/first-aid-kit-BE-2-300x199.jpg" alt="First aid for cats" title="first aid kit BE 2" width="300" height="199" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-313" /></a></p>
<p>Most of the items found in a human first aid kit can prove useful in a cat emergency although you should be cautious using human remedies for cats as they could be harmful to your pet. Some of the items that you should consider including in a feline first aid kit are:</p>
<p>Olive Oil which can be useful for cleaning out your cats ears and it is also a good treatment should your cat become constipated.</p>
<p>Thermometer. It is best to use a rectal thermometer which should be available either from your vet or local pet store. Before using it make sure that you shake it down so that you get an accurate reading. A cat’s temperature normally should be between 38.3 and 38.9C (1201-102F) and just a little lower for kittens. </p>
<p>Disinfectant A mild disinfectant would be useful and your vet should be able to ad vise on a suitable one for use on your pet.</p>
<p>Cotton wool, guaze pads and cotton wool buds are also useful items as are a couple of suitable sized bandages. </p>
<p>Cats are prone to bite sand scratches and a useful addition to your first aid kit would be a tube of an antiseptic cream formulated for cats.</p>
<p>IN addition a pair of round ended scissors and a pair of tweezers to remove any kind of splinters would more or less complete the basic cat first aid kit. However, to avoid infecting yourself whilst treating your cat you might like to add a pair of thick gloves to the kit to avoid being scratched  whilst treating your cat.</p>
<p>One final consideration is that if your cat becomes suddenly sick or injured you will need to get them to vetinary help as soon as possible. Therefore, you should make sure that you have a suitable carrier in which to transport your cat. </p>
<p>It is always hoped that you will not need your feline first aid kit but it is always better to be prepared just in case.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The day has finally arrived and that oh so small bundle of fur has arrived in your home. It is there looking up at you and all of sudden you realize that you have assumed responsibility for another real, living breathing creature. Those small eyes are so trusting and already it believes that you fully know how to care and look after it. You on the other hand are not really sure where you should start. Here are 7 tips that I hope will help you:</p>
<p><strong> Tip 1. Prepare before the kitten arrives</strong>. There are some essential items that you should get hold of  before arrival day. Your new kitten will need some very basic supplies to be in place before you bring him home. Your kitten will need food and water dishes that are clean, preferable ceramic. You will also need a litter box that is accessible to a small kitten that is located in a place that will give your kitten privacy from other household animals or small children.</p>
<p><strong>Tip 2. Simply relax.</strong> You will be surprised how quickly you and your kitten will get used to each other and your little ways. <a href="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/canstockphoto4832770.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-287" title="canstockphoto4832770" src="http://www.cat-lovers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/canstockphoto4832770-300x199.jpg" alt="New kitten" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p><strong> Tip 3. Keep the kitten in 1 room</strong>. Confine your new kitten to just one room of the home for the first day (preferably the one with the litter box in it). After a few days, allow the kitten to explore another area of the home. Make sure that you have kitten-proofed each area before allowing the kitten in it. This means no cleaning products, no small objects that a kitten can get lodged in the throat, and no poisonous plants. Every few days expand the area of the home to include more space until eventually your kitten is allowed to explore all areas of your home.</p>
<p><strong>Tip 4. Watch your step.</strong> Get used to looking where you are treading. Kittens are very small and it is easy to tread on them if they are scampering around the floor, so be aware.</p>
<p><strong> Tip 5. Be careful when you close doors and cupboards</strong>. Kittens are inquisitive little creatures and they can easily get shut in if you do not know they are there.</p>
<p><strong> Tip 6. Play with your kitten</strong>. Kittens generally love to be handled and played with. Spend time playing with your kitten each day. If you have to be out of the home for any lengths of time make sure that your kitten has some toys to occupy itself whilst you are away.</p>
<p><strong>Tip 7. Help it feel safe.</strong> Provide your kitten with some kind of bed or sleeping area where it can go and feel secure. Kittens and cats like having some kind of wall around them which is why many choose to sleep in corners. Alternatively, a simple cardboard box with toweling or a blanket in the bottom can provide an excellent bed for a kitten, but make sure it is easy for it to get into.</p>
<p>The first few weeks that a kitten enters your home is going to be a learning curve for you both,. However before very long there will be a real bond between pet and owner.</p>
