Hee hee hee! Mom miscalculated how much cans of food we had left and she ran out before our delivery. So we get to have kitty junk food until it comes. She got it for us at the store & it came in these packets and I swear half of it was gravy. WOW! Harry, Pixie and Coco kept jumping up on the counter as mom was trying to get the food in dishes!! Mom said don't get used to it. We're going back on the healthy stuff as soon as the delivery comes.

Oh she also tried a different cat litter too. Usually she buys the natural pine clumping litter but this time she got one of those "name brand" litters. Peeeeeweh! Its so loaded with perfume. UGH! We smell all flowery and mom hates scooping it cause she says she can taste the perfume. Last time she'll buy that stuff!

Its hard for us to get healthy food - mom has to order it online as there are no pet stores closer than 40 minutes away. And those are just Petco & Petsmart which don't carry the brands we get. Mom's dream is to open up a healthy pet store. She'd stock it full of healthy foods and treats, have books on diets, and staff to help educate the public about what those labels really mean. Even flyers and pamplets on how to make your own food. Also she would carry things like blood meal - an ingredient for many homemade doggy foods that is very hard to find around here. Oh and of course lots of toys! I'd be the official toy tester MOL!

Well, that's just a dream for now....but maybe one day!
Hope you all had a pawsome weekend!

Oh man, my mom hates those perfumey litters. She always tries to get fragrance-free litter, though sometimes it's hard to find. Whenever we use those scented litters we smell like scented litter!! Nasty! Ewww!

Wow, I love your mom's idea to start a healthy pet store! We say go for it! We're lucky to have a few healthy pet stores where we live, and a couple just opened in the last year or two. I think there's a market for it, fur sure! I don't know anything about blood meal, but Mom has been giving us some raw bunny recently ~ yummy! Happy Easter!

Purrsonally I like kitty junk food the best, but our Mom is always trying to get us to eat that healthy stuff. Wow, I guess we should consider ourselves lucky, we are surrounded by pet stores that sell top of the line healthy stuff. Mom went to Petco today to find a certain food that River recommended to us and she was so surprised to see the huge selection of healthy foods they now carry. Consumers are getting more and more savvy and they want healthy foods for their pets.

Your Mom has a good idea there - if there aren't any stores near you that sell healthy pet foods, she could have a very successful business on her hands!
