Hi Reader, Guess what's back?! My absolute favorite Chewy deal is running right now. They used to run these monthly, but they are much less frequent these days, so I always make sure to take advantage of them while they're active! The Deal: Get a Free $30 eGift Card with $100 purchase with code STOCKUP. What is incredibly cool about this promotion is that you can use the deal 3 times. It’s basically like getting paid to stock up on your cat's favorite treats and toys. My Pro-Tip on How to...

Hi Reader, Last week, I mentioned that there is BIG NEWS in the Floppycats' family....MEET MacGyver! SHE and Bo have already formed a bond and love one another =). MacGyver was named after the popular 1980s-early 1990s TV Show that my cousin Jill loved. I love her name as well because I, too, loved that show. MacGyver comes from Bluedreamer Ragdolls in Kansas City (where we live), and she is a blue torbie. Torbie = tabby + tortie, so she is a blue lynx like Trigg was, but she has fun tortie...

Hi Reader, There is more BIG news in the extended Floppycats' family...but I haven't had a chance to properly announce it yet...can you guess what it is? My cousin was recently out of town, so I had the great pleasure of seeing her seal point Ragdoll kitten, Bo, almost daily while she was gone - and man, he is a cool cat. I am most impressed by his Ragdoll limpness when you pick him up. Reminds me of Caymus, the only other true "ragdoll" that I have picked up. Caymus, at 17 lbs, required two...

Hi Reader, Charlie keeps seeking out grounding on his own accord. Here's what I love about Charlie's attraction to the grounding mat - he has no skin in the game. He didn't read some newsletter. He didn't see an ad on social media and wondered if it worked. He found the mat on my bed, got on it and realized it did something in his body. And he continues to return to it for a few hours a day to get the benefits. Meaning, it's not his mind telling him it is supposed to help with inflammation or...

Hi Reader, Charlie is turning 17 this week (Thursday, July 23rd)! To celebrate, we are hosting a HUGE giveaway for one lucky winner and a shelter of their choice. The prizes this year are absolutely incredible, so be sure to check the site on Friday, July 24th for all the entry details. I also have a must-watch interview below with Melissa Natanson from Legacy Biome. Gut health is incredibly important for both us and our kitties! Since 70% of the immune system lives in the gut, healing it can...

Hi Reader, Big news! My cousin, Jill, is getting a new kitten! Meet Bo! I posted about him on our Facebook page. My cousin Jill is officially bringing this little guy home on July 27th, and he is coming from the incredible 𝗖𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘀 in Medina, OH. Bo has some truly special lineage. He’s the son of Bumblebee (CottonBlues The Ultimate Buzz) and Ben E (RockinBlues Save The Last Dance). The best part? His dad’s grandfather is Soulmates Tyler’s Toys—who happens to be Charlie’s dad! Born...

Hi Reader, Guess what's back?! Do you know about the Chewy deal? I love these deals and take advantage of them whenever they're available. They used to be monthly, but now they are not as frequent. Free $30 eGift Card with $100 purchase with code SUMMER. And what's cool is that you can do the deal 3x every time - they vary, though, when it's available. Unfortunately, they don't let you order $300 and get $90 in gift cards; you have to place three separate orders, each slightly over $100. I do...

Hi Reader, I hope you and your kitty are doing well! Last Tuesday was pretty scary for Charlie and me. We were hanging out in the backyard when a massive limb suddenly snapped off our big tree. Unfortunately, it broke right where a honeybee nest was hidden, and the bees instantly swarmed and came after me. Panic set in as I ran frantically around the yard, terrified that Charlie had been crushed under the branch. Thankfully, he had the good sense to sprint far away from the danger! But when...

Hi Reader, Hope you and your kitty are doing well. Happy July 1! We have a new giveaway (see below)! My fellow Americans - please be mindful of wildlife, scared cats and dogs and people suffering from PTSD, and just say no to fireworks. I never understood this importance until I experienced a very terrified cat and also after living in New Mexico where a single firework can cause loads of damage and also pollute the air for miles and miles. I have made the decision to no longer support...
