Lazy Caturday

Mom always finds this napping position of mine amusing, I don't know why. It's been a lazy cozy day. Let's keep it that way. 

Friday!!

Mom has a day off, and she plans to spend it cleaning the house. I think it just proves her lack of imagination. Allthough there is a point, after I took a detour under the bed, I got myself all dusty. 

So let me just find a calm spot somewhere out of her way to take a nap, and she can start hoovering.

Have a happy weekend!

Fancy Feast is for all kinds of cats...

Fancy  Feast by Purina has been around for 25 years...  I hope I am not dating myself... ! Purina is committed to preparing yummy  culinary "purrfect" goodness for our cats along with a balanced  nutritionally rich diet... and, really, this is a fav food for my gang of five!   Best of all  Fancy Feast Poultry and Beef Classic Pate is 33% off at chewy.com!

One thing I really like about  www.chewy.com is that you can  get just about anything shipped to your door within  two days --  even Fancy Feast and at a discounted price, if you order $49 or more then shipping is free... of not shipping is only $4.95.   Purina is an iconic  pet food company, growing up, all of my dogs and cats and horses were  raised on Purina.  Needless to say Purina has years of experience in making what pets like...and, with a name like "fancy" feast... it is purrfectly yum for my cats -- they think they are "fancy" -- what I like is that Fancy Feast is made in the USA.

Fancy Feast by Purina makes many options -- grilled, gravy, chopped, etc -- but  like me, I guess my cats  are "classic"  they really like the  Fancy Feast  Classic Pate.  I like the easy flip open can and the way my  cats devour the  fancy feast pate! Fancy  Feast contains an average amount of protein and fat; a bit and more fiber than some other  foods and fewer carbs... oh well --to kick it up I add a little moisture  for my cats and supplement them with  dry food.  The point is they just love fancy feast pate...and can it really get any better than that-- it is their go to food.

Is Fancy Feast the most "healthy" cat food... (no it is not  grain  free)  however,  I think it is  a high end cat food because of the quality of the ingredients.  Fancy Feast has real chicken, turkey or beef in its food and has vitamins and minerals.  After all the point is if your cat really enjoys it...  and eats it -- then all is well...  as you see theMaxx is waiting for his  turn...he loves Fancy Feast too. It is also very affordable... and if your cats love it like mine do it is a win win and www.chewy.com has it discounted!

Mother Nature, we don't get you...

This spring has surely been interesting. The weather is colder than usual, and just as we were finally promised some warmer weather, we get some snow and strong winds. Sigh.

As usual, Facebook and the internet is filled with funny pictures about the strange weather situation we are dealing with, trying to cheer us up. I just have to share a couple of them here...

Translation for the second pic; Here's a ready cut out for seasons greetings for various Finnish holidays:

- Peaceful Christmas!

- Happy Easter!

- Cheerful First of May!

- Sunny Midsummer!

It really seems like this now...

And,  here's a weather forecast, that still a couple of days ago promised sunshine and + 10 / + 15 degrees celsius.

This is me, observing the situation that reminds us an awful lot of good old white Christmas.

Mother Nature, we are not amused...

New header!

It seems that mom's blogging inspiration is almost getting out of hands, now she made a new header for me. What do you think?

Let's see how long this inspiration will last...

Rainy day, sunny evening

Just casually posing and sunbathing here on this lovely sunpuddle. The sun in the spring is just so lovely when it decides to show up. Sun, you have been missed!

A lap cat

I'm not really a cat who likes to sleep on a humans lap, but sometimes I get a feeling and do that anyways. Today was one of those days, and mom decided to take a picture of this rare happening.

Now there is evidence in the internet, that Carlos can indeed be a lap cat if he feels like it.

See also my dented ear? It looks a bit sad but we don't care. Carlos is still Carlos, even with mismatching ears.

Sunny greetings!

Spring is coming slooooowlyyy, snow has melted but it's still quite cold. Well, we'll just have to wait.

I've get to go outside quite often, which is very nice.

Have a nice Caturday!

Nulo a leading cat food according to Tufts University

It is hard to believe that Easter is around the corner and with that in mind I asked www.chewy.com to send me a new grain free cat and kitten food,  Free style Turkey and Chicken formula by Nulo because it was recently named a top pick by the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University.  As a matter of fact, the study found that Nulo's canned cat food was among the leading contenders in the study and was consumed by all of the test cats and in the greatest quantity proving once again that cats' tummies don't lie! Zoey is definitely interested in trying this food as I dish it out!

When choosing a cat food look for protein as the #1 ingredient and be sure to check the label to verify that the food contains high quality proteins such as poultry or fish and remember that ingredients are listed according to their weight in decreasing order. Now Zoey is ready to jump high (for her not for the Tonkinese) to try Nulo's Free style Chicken and Turkey... so there must be something to this study...and to Nulo -- thanks to www.chewy.com for shipping it to me to review. Best of all www.chewy.com is offering this food at 20% off and free shipping for orders over $40.

I was impressed to learn that Nulo's Free Style canned cat food was  formulated, tested and backed by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).  Although the AAFCO has no regulatory authority their mission is to safeguard the health of animals and humans, ensure consumer protection and provide a level playing field of orderly commerce for the animal feed industry. It is a  pate, my cats prefer it and it has a good wholesome smell...and Sabu my Tonkinese was not about to be left out of this "taste test"!

According the study conducted by the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts Nulo Turkey and Chicken canned cat food meets the  AAFCO standards for  all life stages of cats, this is especially important for multi- cat households...like mine with cats that range from one to nine.

The top ingredients in Nulo's Free style Turkey and Chicken formula include: turkey, turkey broth, chicken, beef liver and tuna; there are no meat by-products. In addition, the formula contains vegetables and fruits to support health and essential vitamins like D2, B12 and vitamin E.  The crude protein is 11%, the fat is 6.5%, crude fiber is 0.75%, moisture is 78% and taurine is 0.1% making this a balanced healthy cat food. It comes in 5.5 oz cans and there are 24 cans to a case.

Nulo is located in Austin Texas and was started when company founders saw an increase in overweight pets and the administration of at-home insulin shots for cats and dogs. The mission the company was founded on was to create a fresh healthy cat food using only the best ingredients in order to get our pets off a "fast food" pet food diet and on a healthy wholesome diet that is created in small batches to ensure that your four legged friends are getting some of the freshest wholesome food on the market...and Zivah likes that!
