Purrs to Those in Japan

I just wanted to write a quick post about those affected by the horrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  Our purrs and prayers go out to the families affected.  For those who wish to help, WorldVets is accepting donations to help pets affected by the disaster.

Also, read about Japan's "Cat Island" on the Catster Cat's Meow Blog, an island populated with cats and people that has become an interesting tourist destination and haven for cat lovers.  Purr and pray for their safety.

Purrs,

Yay - New Simon's Cat Video

I know it is silly to get this excited, but the newest Simon's Cat video is here!  As usual, it's adorable as this naughty kitty gets into a "sticky" situation.  Very realistic to what my own kitties have done:

That and I've found this from the geniuses at Biokleen:















The Biokleen Bac-Out Stain & Odor Eliminator.  Amazing.  Which I may have to run away and marry (hmm, making me a bigamist, but does a cleaner really count as a second marriage?) because of its awesomeness in handling pet stains, or any stains for that matter.  As you may or may not know, I'm a bit of a green cleaner and have been on a kick to use only natural cleaners.  I'm also an owner of several plump felines that make their fair share of messes to deal with.  Including, but not limited too my youngest cat's recent urine-a-thon (which stopped).  And my older cat's copying of said urine-a-thon (cross fingers, no urine for days now).  There was a lot of spraying of enzymatic cleaners including this one.

This cleaner is Heaven sent (and scented).  It has a pleasant lime aroma and you can just spray it on messes and go as it contains little microorganisms and enzymes that eat away the organic stains.  Since my preferred method of cleaning involves spraying and walking away, this makes this the IDEAL cleaner for me.  Plus, it doesn't just cover up stains it eats them!  And it's environmentally friendly and safe for my crazy allergies.

While I find this similar to Nature's Miracle (another favorite), it smells delish, so it wins out.  Spray it on any organic stains before the wash and voila!  You clean the stains away.  And in the garbage can, a breath of fresh air.  Did I mention I love this stuff?  Well I do.  Go buy some!

Wellness Recall for Cat Food

For the Pet Parents out there, be aware of the voluntary recall from Wellness brand canned cat food. In case you're wondering, yes, I did flip out upon reading this because, YES, this is what I feed my kitties! But it doesn't seem overtly serious and since my kitties get a combination of this and other types of food, I think we're okay. Now I have to decide whether I want to return my cans...argh...and since a cat food order is coming up, do I order this again for the month? Or go with another brand until some of these cans get out of the system? I think this month may be another type of food, but we'll see...sometimes I wish I was less lazy and would make my own cat food...

For your own knowledge, here is a little more information about the recall:

The lots involved in this voluntary recall are:

Wellness Canned Cat (all flavors and sizes) with best by dates from 14APR 13 through 30SEP13;

Wellness Canned Cat Chicken & Herring (all sizes) with best by date of 10NOV13 and 17NOV13.

If you have cat food from these lots, you should stop feeding it to your cats. You may call WellPet at 1-877-227-9587 to arrange for return of the product and reimbursement.

Yes, this is what my kitties eat

According to the website, no other products were affected by the recall, only these lots of canned cat food. For more information, go here and read more about it.

Purrs,
