Bubble Play!

|

I love the weekend!

There is nothing greater than not having to wake up to an alarm.

It’s the only time that my hubby gets to sleep in and one of my favourite things to do is to wake up a bit early and make him french toast with maple syrup, whipped cream, caramelized fruits and fresh orange juice. And since he is getting a special breakfast, I have to give a special breakfast for Kitty as well. Usually she gets to try some new treats or a new flavour of wet food as she sits with Daddy to have breakfast:). She loves it.

Another fun thing we try to do on weekends is introduce Kitty to new play things. This weekend, I introduced Kitty to bubbles. Yes, good old-fashioned soap bubbles.

She was a bit shocked to see the strange little things floating about .. It took a little time however soon enough she was running about and trying to swat at the bubbles. It was the cutest thing ever and she wouldn’t stop long enough for me to snap a photo.

If you are to try this with your cat, just make sure that you don’t get any bubbles on their bodies. You don’t want them eating soap!

Pawlicious Food!

|

We are on the constant lookout for fresh, healthy food… Then why do we not think twice about giving our pets the best? Do they not deserve fresh food without chemicals and fillers?

I am constantly researching the safest and healthiest cat foods to feed Kitty and have tried many different varieties so far.

I started with Blue Buffalo, Organix, Merrick, Wellness… anything that was advertised as the next best thing.

Eventually I stumbled upon Orijen. It was locally made, with real ingredients and no fillers. Kitty loved it as her dry food.

For wet food, I found nothing better than the Weruva BFF and TruLuxe line. Not only was in grain free, it was also free of carrageenan which is a thickener added to most human and pet foods.Some studies show that this could be a possible carcinogen.

The best thing about this line is that when you open the can, you can actually recognize the food that is in it. There are chunks of meat, salmon, duck and lamb, shredded chicken and flakes of tuna and some vegetables as well. Kitty only eats the gravy kind and not the pate.

I think it’s so important to take time to read the list of ingredients on each item of food you buy for yourself as well as your furbabies. After all, we are what we eat

What do you feed your precious furbabies? Leave a comment and let me know.

The Inspiration behind the Blog

|

As I work my way through getting this project in order, I thought I would introduce you all to the inspiration behind the creation of this blog.

She joined our little family almost 3 years ago and have been the love of our lives ever since!

Please say hello to Kitty Mojito Burton

052

Isn’t she just the cutest thing you have ever seen? 🙂

My husband and I absolutely adore her and we spoil her rotten. She is definitely the queen of our household and as most cat owners know, we adjust our life around her.

I will be featuring some of her favourite things in many of the upcoming posts so keep an eye out for that!

Fall Festivities

|

Hello October! Hello Fall!

The beginning of a new month always brings me great hope! It is the time that I make my “monthly resolutions”, draft up my ‘get it done before the month is over’ lists and try to prepare myself mentally to get them accomplished.

Thanksgiving is a major to-do this month. I will be having family over so I am looking forward to putting together a budget friendly dinner. Watch this space for photos!

I am also hoping to get a head start on making my Christmas shopping list!

I know, I know! I said the C word but it’s only 2 months away! I prefer to be prepared with a list and a budget than shop frantically at the last minute.

I am also hoping to get things in order to feature the Rescue of the Month. There will be information on how you can support them and share some wonderful stories on the great work they do.

So here’s to a happy and productive October!

Welcome to CCLC!

Hello World!

Thank you for visiting the Crazy Cat Lady Corner!

This will be my platform to share thoughts, ideas, helpful hints and advice about anything cat related.

I didn’t start out as a cat person until about 3 years ago when my beloved Kitty joined our little family. In fact, in most people’s eyes I wouldn’t technically be classified as a cat lady since I only have one cat (so far!)

However, I think it opened up a new world for me.. a world of appreciation for all animals … I wanted to do what I could to make sure that every little fur baby out there had an opportunity to find a loving home like the way Kitty found with us….

This blog is about  my love for cats and I hope to use it as a method to share stories and advice with all cat lovers out there.

I am also hoping to use this platform to feature animals rescues, especially those who focus on cats. Watch for our Feature Rescue of the Month.

So I open the door to all of you……. let’s do this!
