We do a lot of traveling and will often take our boy Romeo along with us. He recently out-grew his old carrier, so it was time to get him a new one. When it comes to pet carriers we like them to be light-weight, but …
Got a cat? We do! His name is Romeo and he’s 4 years old. You could say that our boy is spoiled and that wouldn’t be a lie. He’s the PRINCE of our castle and an important part of our family. Part of being a …
Every 4-5 weeks I like to get a new cat toy for our boy Romeo to play with. Just like children, kitty cats get tired of playing with the same toys. You need to switch them out to keep them excited and entertained. They need physical exercise on a daily basis along with mind stimulation. Play time is an important part to keeping your pet happy and healthy.

Last week I purchased the SmartyKat Twirly Top Electronic Spinning Ball Cat Toy from Amazon. It’s erratic spinning motion drives cats wild…along with stimulating their natural hunting instinct. It comes ready to play with right out of the package. Batteries included. You simply just turn it on!
Exercise is necessary to keep cats metally alert, physically fit and at a healthy weight. Toys that encourage running, chasing and swatting turn playtime into a fun workout for your furry friend.
Turn it on by pressing the button. Then sit it down onto the floor. It will work on hard surfaces and some low-pile carpeted surfaces. The ball spins and wobbles which gets your cat’s attention and encourages them to swat at it. Sticking out of the top you’ll see the tassle…that encourages swatting and stimulates their natural hunting instinct.
We like to activate it and let Romeo play with it for about 10-15 minutes at a time every 2-3 days. We rotate his toys in and out…which also helps to keep your cat from getting bored. If you have leftover toys that you’re changing out…consider cleaning & disinfecting them at that time. You can pack away for next month or donate to your favorite cat rescue group.
Where did I purchase this very cool item? I bought the SmartyKat Twirly Top Electronic Spinning Ball Cat Toy from Amazon. You can find it in various retail stores across America too. I apologize that my photo isn’t that great. It’s hard to get a CAT to sit still long enough to take a picture. During playtime…he’s constantly moving!

Every month I purchase a new cat toy for our boy Romeo. He’s a 4 year old domestic short hair cat that we rescued when he was only 3 months old. It’s important as cat parents (pet owners) that we provide plenty of physical activity …
Cats…we love them! We rescued and adopted our 4th cat Romeo 4 years ago. All of our cats had unique personalities but Romeo is something very special. We adopted him when he was 3 months old…to him we’re his Mom and Dad. He’s the type of cat that is loveable and enjoys being with you 24 hours a day. He has the sweetest personality and everyone in the family just adores him.

Over the past few years we’ve rewarded him with those lickable cat treats. We first started using them as a reward for training sessions when he was younger. At times he’s needed medication for this or that and we sneak the medicine into a lickable cat treat. It’s a no fuss way of getting him to take his meds like a good little boy. Lately we’ve been using the special treats as a way to motivate play time and physical activity. Yes, we’re trying to keep him active and fit.
Six weeks ago I decided to switch brands from our old one to the Temptations Creamy Purrrr-ee Lickable Cat Treats that I’ve been purchasing from Amazon. They come in different flavors. His two favorite flavors are: With Beef Livers and the one made with Salmon. You can purchase individual flavors or variety packs in different sizes. The treats are shelf stable, no refrigeration is needed.
You can use it three different ways:
* Treat – Feed by hand.
* Topper – Add it onto the top of your cat’s normal food.
* Treat – Squeezed into a bowl or onto a plate by itself.
Romeo just LOVES the Temptations Creamy Purrrr-ee Lickable Cat Treats! They’re his new favorite. As soon as he sees the pouch he comes running! Seriously, I can’t get the pouch open fast enough for him. According to the package instructions you can feed your adult cat 1-2 pouches per day. We give our boy 1-3 pouches per week depending on that week’s activities. Like I said, we use it as a special treat, not an everyday one.
We like to purchase the majority of our cat food, treats and kitty toys from Amazon and have them delivered straight to our front door. We have Amazon Prime, so we don’t pay a separate fee for shipping. You can head on over to Amazon to check out the Temptations Purrrr-ee Lickable Cat Treats.

How many of you have tried the Whiskas CatMilk? We recently tried it with a younger cat that we’re currently fostering. The Whiskas CatMilk is a snack drink for cats and weaned kittens. It’s NOT a cat milk replacement…just a snack for your kitty. It’s easy …
Our boy Romeo is really picky about the food that he eats. That includes his cat treats. He likes wet food with a lot of broth or liquid and when it comes to his treats…they’ve got to be soft. He won’t touch hard-as-a-rock cat treats! …
