Verm-X Crunchies for Cats are irresistibly tasty treats that can be given to your cat throughout the year as a natural method of continual intestinal hygiene control. verm oblique singular, m ( oblique plural verns, nominative singular verns, nominative plural verm) As with all natural ingredients, it can take a little while for them to become effective in your cat’s system, but once established Verm-X Crunchies will continue to support your cat and provide active control all year round.In his best works, these qualities suit the subject matter exceedingly well. Vermeer idealized a domestic world occupied (if not animated) mostly by women, whose postures, behavior, and in some cases expressions suggest close study and sympathy (in this the artist resembles Gerard ter Borch, the Younger, whose work he knew). He often suggests some connection between a figure and the viewer, subtly casting the latter in the role of a spellbound voyeur.

Vermeer’s father trained as a weaver of fine material but by about 1630 had become an innkeeper and art dealer. The latter business may have helped Vermeer develop his remarkable ability to assimilate formal conventions from past and current masters. On the other hand, his father’s debts and death in 1652 probably explain why Vermeer had to essentially train himself rather than study with an important master. In 1653, he married the daughter of a wealthy Catholic divorcée; the painter converted to their religion and moved into their house in the heart of Delft. During most of his short career—he died at forty-three, leaving his wife with eleven children—Vermeer’s paintings commanded high prices and he was able to support his large family, but the dismal Dutch economy of the early 1670s made his last few years miserable. If your birds are kept free-range their drinking water can be hard to monitor. The pellets offer a great alternative as they can easily be mixed into feed, or fed directly.

See on MetPublications A Maid Asleep ( 14.40.611) of about 1657 is probably Vermeer’s earliest scene of modern manners, recalling slightly earlier pictures by Nicolaes Maes. Over the next few years, between works such as The Milkmaid (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam) and Young Woman with a Water Pitcher ( 89.15.21), Vermeer developed his mature style, which involved a delicate balance between observation and arbitrary design. The few famous exceptions to his interior scenes include The Little Street (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), View of Delft ( Mauritshuis, The Hague), and the late Allegory of the Faith ( 32.100.18). A few bust-length studies of figures, like the celebrated Girl with a Pearl Earring ( Mauritshuis), must be based on live models but were not intended as portraits. Such tronies (“faces”) were collector’s items, in which intriguing characters, curious costumes, and superb painting combine. With articles highlighting antibiotic resistance appearing regularly in the news and worms becoming resistant to anthelmintics (wormers) in many farmed animals, I decided to try a natural approach.
