Color of the Month- October 2017 -Raven Black

in , , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Monday, October 02, 2017
Happy October everyone! September flew by in a blur of activities and I never got my September color of the month blog post up. I feel bad about missing it, but in all honesty, I was so burned out (see last post here), that I wasn't sure if I even wanted to post these anymore. Then, a magical thing happened over the weekend- my inbox overflowed with positive "bloggy" things and I had to make the decision to sulk and give up on blogging, or suck it up and come back swinging. I chose the latter.  So, without further ado, I wanted to get my color of the month post up ASAP so I can add to it (and so can you!) all month. 



For October, I was inspired by all the pretty Raven black I've been seeing everywhere, including both my cats! While they aren't full raven black cats, they both have the prettiest black fur!

Nature’s Logic Cat food unboxing kitty style & giveaway

in , , , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Tuesday, February 28, 2017

Hello from rainy Nashville. I don’t know about you, but I am more than a little ready to welcome in March and spring weather! Before we say goodbye to February, the month of love, I thought I’d show my pet loving friends some love and host a pet food giveaway sponsored by Nature’s Logic®. While I did receive complimentary product and compensation for my time, I only share information that I feel will help my readers. All opinions are 100% my own and that of my cats.



Unboxing Nature's Logic food kitty style



Anytime we receive a package, my kitties need to investigate it. Most of the time I have to gently tell them they can’t play with the contents of these packages because I have to take photos of the products;  so imagine their surprise and delight when I said they could check out this package because it was for them. I love how Dottie opted to get in the box and let her little sister figure out how to open the bags and cans.  I’ll work on getting an unboxing video next time, because these two are just too cute!



Nature's Logic #catfood



Nature’s Logic® chicken meal feast dry kibble past the smell test with my kitties during their unboxing, and I’m sure it will with your fur babies too.  I’d never tried this brand, so I was thrilled to learn some amazing things about this brand like: 

  • Their food is 100% All Natural Whole Food Ingredients.
  • NO man-made, chemically synthesized vitamins, minerals or amino acids.
  • NO chemical preservatives, artificial flavorings or colorings
  • NO corn, wheat, soy, rice, potato, tapioca or peas


I was also happy to read that Nature’s Logic® is committed to providing the highest quality and safest nutrition for the furry members of your family. I appreciate that they understand that our pets are our family too!


Fiona investigates Nature's Logic dry kibble bag


They explain on their website that they have created the first and only full-line kibble, canned, and raw frozen pet food in the world with no chemically-synthesized ingredients. Nature’s Logic is the pioneer in developing truly 100% natural pet foods derived from nature…not chemistry! Now that is amazing! Check out the key benefits of feeding your pets Nature’s Logic®.

Taste Text Time:

Nature's Logic dry kibble taste test time


As most parents can attest, it doesn’t matter if you are feeding little humans, or fur-babies, if the food doesn’t taste good, it won’t get eaten, no matter how much we explain how good for them it is!


Dry Kibble was a hit!
As I suspected it might be, the chicken meal feast dry kibble was a hit! All three of my cats (2 indoor princesses, and one garage/outdoor sweetie) love the taste and gobble it up when I serve it to them.  There are several flavors available including Chicken, Duck/Salmon, Turkey, Sardine and Rabbit. 


Wet food was a miss with one cat!

Next we tried the chicken feast wet food, which received two out of three paws up.  The consistency of this wet food is actually on the dry side, almost dense, so only two of my kitties liked it. 

I wasn’t really surprised that my Fiona didn’t eat this wet food because she has always preferred a more moist food, so please keep this in mind when making your purchases. Their wet food comes in the same flavors as the dry food. I offered each variety to Fiona and each time, she declined eating. She was happy to play with the cans and help me take photos for this post. 




 Learn More:

I invite you to learn more about Nature’s Logic® and their mission to provide our pets with essential and complete nutrition using only 100% natural ingredients by visiting their website where you can see a full list of ingredients, find feeding charts for both cats and dogs and use their handy store locator, which also lists online retailers like Chewy.com that offer their full line of products.

Easy DIY to keep litter box area clean & fresh

in , , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Thursday, May 05, 2016
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #yougottabekittenme #CollectiveBias

It’s important to me as a homemaker to make my home pleasant to be in.  I’m usually on top on my daily and weekly chores, but there was one area of my home that was, how shall I put this delicately, a total cat-tastrophe! Yes people, I’m talking about the often messy and smelly litter box area in my home! Thanks to today’s sponsors, Sam’s Club and Fresh Step Total Control litter with the power of Febreze  for helping me with this easy litter box area DIY!


Kitty approved litter box area DIY #yougottabekittenme #Cbias #ad



I’m happy to say this kitty-approved DIY project took me less than an hour once I got all my supplies in place. I love how clean and fresh this area is now, but that wasn’t always the case. This next photo is hard to share and is not kitty-approved.



Messy litter box area #yougottabekittenme #CBias #ad


I love my cats, but Dottie and Fiona make their litter box area a smelly, litter ridden mess zone! I try to stay on top of it, but honestly, I was ashamed of this out-of-the-way bathroom. We have three full baths in our home, so if company came over, I would quickly clean the cats’ box, spray air freshener and leave the door ajar only wide enough to allow the cats entry. 


The first step to my DIY was to stop the odor and litter tracking, so I switched back to Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze litter and even upgraded by purchasing the 42 pound bag of Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze litter, which is currently available only at Sam’s Club. If you are a Sam’s Club member, this litter is really easy to find in the store. In my Sam’s Club, it’s in the back of the store nearing the bakery.  


Fresh Step at Sam's Club #yougottabekittenme #Cbias #ad


Sam’s Club members receive a discount of $3.50 off their purchase on this item in May. This savings is offered in the Instant Savings book and is already loaded to your member’s card. Savings and convenience? Thank you, Sam’s Club! And a huge thanks to Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze for upgrading their litter!

Did you know that Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze includes Borate Technology for superior ammonia control? Plus, it acts as an antimicrobial agent to inhibit odor-causing bacteria and clumps to ease litter tracking! Seems this company knew just what we cat parents needed to help stop those awful #yougottabekittenme moments!  You can learn more about Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze by visiting their site here. 


The second step to this litter box area update was to pick up new items. I wanted the kitty bathroom to look clean and fresh like my other baths, so got bought a new shower curtain, shower floor liner, scented trash bags, a new litter scoop and a cute caddy for all the supplies to fit into.

The third step was to clean the litter box area. Ugh. That was a chore, but so well worth the effort!

The fourth step was fun because I got to pretty up the space! I cut my liner to fit the floor and added a piece on the shelf for an extra splash of color and to keep the kitty supply caddy from slipping. I hung the light and airy shower curtain (that I can partially close when company comes), and then put the litter box back in its proper location.


The fifth step was organizing the kitty supply caddy with all the supplies needed to keep the litter box clean and smelling fresh. I placed the area air freshener up out of the cats reach, added a scented trash bag to one of the caddy’s holders for the litter scooper, put in the scented bags and added a gallon size bag of Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze litter to the supply caddy so anybody in the family helping with the cats can add a scoop or two of litter as needed without having to heft up a 42 pound bag of litter.



Voila! My easy DIY litter box area is complete.

Now I have a clean and fresh kitty bathroom that I won’t be ashamed of if company decides to peak down the hall. And thanks to Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze litter this area smells as great as it looks! 
I'd also like to give my sponsors Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze and Sam's Club another big round of applause for providing me $100 to donate to a pet-related organization of my choice! I participated in a local charity event called the Big Pay Back where my $100 donation to The People for Animals was doubled! This will help many cats and dogs in my community have better lives. Thank you, thank you!

Taking care of my Fur Baby with #RoyalCanin at PetSmart #spon

in , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, April 24, 2015
A special thank you to Royal Canin and PetSmart for sponsoring today’s conversation. All opinions and love of my fur babies are my own.


Earlier this month our fur princess Dottie turned 8. Like all princesses, she deserved a special birthday gift.  If my non-fur children would have gotten their way, Dottie would have received a birthday party fit for a true princess. 


cat, fur baby, mature, health


I convinced them that a trip to PetSmart for a new toy and some special cat food would suffice. 



petsmart, logo, help, pets


We love going to PetSmart! Their staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable about all types of pets, not just our fur babies. We always look at the beautiful birds and fish before heading to our main department: Cats.


On this special occasion, I wanted to give Dottie a special treat that would also be good for her changing needs. No longer a kitten or young adult, we were noticing a subtle change in how Dottie ate and enjoyed her food. She was showing signs of discomfort after eating; I was looking for a food just for digestive health and nutritional needs for an adult indoor cat.


The Cat food section at PetSmart offers a variety of products for all ages, stages and nutritional needs.  As we walked down the aisle, we were drawn to the Royal Canin food section because it was one of the largest there.


pet, food, health, nutrition


Royal Canin is a global leader in pet health nutrition and they strive to bring the most precise nutritional solution for cats and dogs. Through extensive research, Royal Canin has identified the needs of our cats and dogs. 

They live by the conviction that, no matter how much we love our fur babies and treat them like family- our pets are not people and they require unique nutritional needs.


We decided to gift Dottie some Royal Canin for made just for the digestive health of a mature cat. Thankfully, Dottie loved her special gift and will buy her more on our next PetSmart trip.



pets, love, furbabies


Royal Canin and the PetSmart staff are here to help you make the best possible food choices for your cats and dogs as well. No matter if they are large or small, pure bred or mixed breed, there is a specially formulated food made just for them.  I invite you to visit PetSmart’s store locator to find a store near you. 

If you would like to learn more about all of the Royal Canin cat foods available prior to going to PetSmart, please visit their cat food page.

Wordless Wednesday- A girl and her Cat

in , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, September 24, 2014

My youngest daughter has a way with animals. She loves them, they love her. She and our outside cat have a very special bond which is clearly evident to anyone that gets to watch them together. Here are some photos from their recent "photo shoot". There were close to 40 photos in this session, it was hard for me to choose which ones to share. All photos were taken by my daughter with Catty-Cat's approval.

Easy DIY Flea Deterrent

in , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Tuesday, August 26, 2014

Somehow our home and pets managed to get fleas this summer.  We are unsure where the original fleas came from because we have had indoor cats in our family for close to a decade and never had a flea problem. Regardless of how we got them, I had to make them go!  I started researching safe methods of killing fleas without harming cats, family and belongings. 

I read several stories of success using plain table salt.  The instructions sounded simple enough: Cover your carpet with table salt and leave it on for three days. The fleas eat the salt, which so severely dehydrates them that they die. You leave the salt on the floor for three days, then wait 24 hours and do the whole process again and supposedly, within two weeks’ time, your home is flea free. 


Our Princess Cat Dottie
Dottie

I liberally doused our carpeted rooms with salt, assuring my curious cats that this was for the greater good.  They were dubious at best.  

Six or seven hours into day one of Salt O’ the carpet and my oldest Cat Dottie, took to higher ground, refusing to walk on any salted/carpeted area. She would run at break neck speed from point A to point B and stayed on hardwood -tiled surfaces when at all possible. I felt so bad for her. 

My husband and kids didn’t care for the crunchy feel of salt between their toes either, so by day two, I vacuumed up the salt. We did see a small difference in the fleas, so I knew I’d have to come up with a better solution. That’s when I decided to combine the Carpet fresh product my cats and family don’t mind with salt to see how it worked.


DIY flea deterrent #salt #carpetfresh


This is a super simple DIY project.

  • Use at least 1/3 box of Carpet Fresh Pet Fresh to make room for salt.
  • Add regular table salt to fill the box of Carpet Fresh. I used a small kitchen funnel aligned to the holes on the top of Carpet Fresh box.
Add salt to carpet fresh #DIY flea deterrent


  • Shake well to mix ingredients.
  • Sprinkle the mix liberally on carpet and let sit for as long as you can. I aim for at least 30 minutes.
Shake on liberal amount of #DIY flea deterrent


  • Then vacuum up.


Vacuuming daily, or at least every other day is a major key to breaking the fleas’ life cycle, as is the salt. We are using this method in conjunction with Flea medicine recommended by our Vet to combat these little biters. The Vet warned us that this could be an ongoing battle all summer. But at least we aren’t getting bit and our cats seem to be doing better. 


Our little kitty Fiona

Now if I could just get them not to be afraid of the vacuum!
