Cat Quotables-The Cat Who Chases Mice

The cat who chases mice away is as good as the cat who eats them.

Still my inspiration, still my muse. I love you, Seb.

Wellness Natural Pet Food Wagon

Have you seen this truck?

This is the Wellness Natural Pet Food Wagon, complete with a wagging tail and a horn that barks. You can find it across the country this summer. Right now until June 14th the wagon is in Austin, Texas. After that you can find it in these cities:

• San Diego, CA-June 19th to June 28th
• Seattle, WA-July 3rd to July 18th
• Philadelphia, PA-July 25th to August 2nd
• Baltimore, MD/Washington, D.C.-August 5th to August 23rd

You can visit the wagon to try out their dog agility course, a doggy toothbrush, and get free samples of Wellness pet food and treats. While you're there, take a picture in front of the wagon and share it on social media with the hashtag #WagsforWellness. For every picture shared Wellness will donate a bag of pet food to shelter pets.

I wish the Wellness Natural Pet Food Wagon was going to be in my town! My kitties all eat Wellness: Evelyn gets the Complete Health Healthy Weight Formula (she's a curvy girl!) and the boys eat the Complete Health Indoor Health Formula. Since I can't visit the wagon, I hope all my readers will get the chance!

Disclosure: I was contacted by Wellness Natural Pet Food to post about the Pet Food Wagon and they are compensating me for this post. However, this post accurately reflects my honest views and I only post about products I believe in.

Friday Faves: Our Favorite Treats From BlogPaws

I sorted through all my swag from BlogPaws after I had been home a couple of days. I decide what I'm going to keep for my critters and what I'm going to donate to the shelter. If there are treats, food, or toys I already know my guys won't enjoy, it goes in the donate pile. If there is something they already use or something I've been wanting to try, it goes in the keep pile.

As I sorted, I found several new treats I wanted them to taste. A couple were instant hits!

The cats all LOVED the lamb bark treats from Scout and Zoe's.

Stilwell was really hoping for more.

Treats for the dogs can be hard to choose. Yaz is overweight, so I try to find treats that are healthy and low calorie. Heloise is even more of a challenge. With her kidney issues, I can't add any extra protein to her diet. Not only did I find a treat that fits the needs of both dogs, but they love them, too! Check out these Coconut Smiles from Dr. Harvey's.

I'm going to be stocking up on both of these treats!


Neither company contacted nor compensated me for this post. I got small sample packages of each in my swag bag from BlogPaws and since they went over so well, I wanted to tell you all about them.

Featured Furry: Toes

I visited the Leavenworth Animal Control Shelter in Leavenworth, Kansas this week and met a polydactyl kitty who stole my heart. He doesn't officially have a name, so I'll just call him "Toes."

Toes is a male shorthair tabby cat with some of the best feet I've ever seen.

The Leavenworth Animal Control Shelter doesn't have many pets available for adoption, but that doesn't mean you should overlook the ones who are there. Toes and the other pets need homes just as much as the pets at the busier shelters.

Read about Toes here, then go meet him. I know he'll be happy to see you!
