Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

I used to live right next to a corn field. Every time they worked in the field with the big machines, it would scare a lot of field mice and a few would end up in my home. My cat would catch them and decided the best place to play with them is on my bed. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night by having a small furry animal scurrying across your leg or belly, followed by the cat pouncing after it with claws extended. I would freak out, then refuse to go back to bed until I stripped the bed and made sure it wasn't hiding amung my sheets. Soooo glad I no longer have to worry about that.

I actually have woken up to a mouse on my foot once. I was at a sleepover with several of my cousins and we were all sleeping on the basement floor with blankets and pillows. I think I was 7 or 8 years old at the time? I woke up in the middle of the night because I felt something tickling the top of my foot and I thought one of my younger cousins was trying to be funny or something by messing with my foot so I kind of just muttered “(Cousin’s name), stop” without even sitting up all sleepy, but when nothing happened I sat up and saw there was a small mouse sitting on my foot. I started screaming bloody murder and flailed my leg up, rocketing that poor mouse across the room where it ran behind a tv. My scream was so loud it woke up both of my cousins parents on the second floor who where in the basement no sooner than I’d flung the mouse across the room, probably thinking we were being murdered or something. - Looking back, I think the poor thing was as frightened as I was and while I have no clue what it was doing sitting on a child’s foot (maybe it was cold and trying to cuddle? xD) I do feel bad it because if it happened today I probably would just saw ‘Awww’ and go back to sleep while trying not to disturb the mouse lol Important note, they didn’t have mice infestation. The basement window had a deep Egress that the mouse had fallen into. For some reason or another, the window was either open at the time or opened later and the mouse got in that way. I’m 21 now so the details are fuzzy since this was a long time ago now.

Protecting your data is crucial. It's surprisingly easy for someone to track you down, even if you've searched for yourself online and found nothing. Your information could still be out there. As a genealogist, I've helped a lot of people locate missing family members. In most cases, I've been able to find detailed information like names, addresses, phone numbers, household members, neighbors, employment details, home ownership status, credit history, arrest records, and more. It is important to stay safe online!

Not all cats are expert hunters. We had an Orange Tabby boyo who was brilliant at Hunting - field mice, the occasional squirrel, and the big black water bugs that are the oversized cousins to cockroaches which come in thru the heating ducts into the bathroom, never the kitchen. Note, we live in an apt on the third floor of our bldg, the squirrel came in up the vent in the kitchen under the sink! However, the larger, older Black Domestic/Maine Coon mix cat we had was terrified of anything living that wasn't a human or another cat. Kakarot went after things, Spook ran from them. Our current girls are hunters, but we've blocked off access points we dealt with things entering the apartment thru in the past, so they have never been tested. Each cat is different. Try an orange tabby - great natured and good hunters of toys or live prey!

@michaelwallace7587 Ай бұрын

Cats learn to hunt and kill from their mothers teaching them. It isn’t totally a natural thing. Just learning to be a parent isn’t all natural.

We just had to deal with rats for the last few months. My outdoor cats weren't able to get under the house to get them. My cat Moonfrye found one of their entrances, and within a week, we are rat free. Not all cats hunt, but some cats do and will avidly hunt rats. My cats Moon and Chloe camped both entrances caught and killed a few, and the others ran for their lives.

The ratinator trap is the best I've tried. I have chickens in an urban setting and started to get some rat issues, but the trap really has helped. It's made to catch several rats at once which for some reason lures other rats to join in the trap. The most I've had in the trap at once was five.

As a prior rat / mouse breeder, my rats LOVED cat/dog food, tuna, chicken, graham crackers/cookies in general. My father once got a mouse in his car who stole all his chocolate covered granola bars. Rats will eat just about anything but they are so smart, and curious, so even if you just change up what's around the traps it could help but, I would move the traps around too.

Our cats always have food out and will still bring all sorts of prizes into the house through the cat door - both dead ones AND live ones! Last summer they were putting the dead ones in our sons bed! 🤮🤬 I guess they figured he was the least likely to be able to feed himself. We had to start keeping my son's door shut all the time. 😑

@acgray1972 Ай бұрын

There's a very good reason not to be late with your cats meal. It's called hepatic lipidosis aka fatty liver. You cats liver starts to metabolize all the fat in the cats body. And it only takes a short time to show. Treatments in the thousands! They have to cut into the esophagus, through the neck and place a feeding tube. Force feeding occurs for 2 to 8 weeks. Because once the liver is backed up with fat they won't eat even if they have food. They become nauseated, throw up and either get constipated or stop evacuating. Urine turns brown Ears, gums, lips and whites of eyes become tinted yellow. Jaundice. My big sweet baby just went through this because I ordered his food and it didn't come, I had some other food on hand but he didn't like it. Inside of 4 days he was deadly sick. I was able to help save his life though and for that im so thankful.❤
