Hi Reader,

Hope your week is going well.

Do you know anyone famous who loves cats? I want to do a series exploring how cats inspire creativity.

Our unboxing this week matters a lot. I contacted Clearly Filtered to see if they would send me these items to review because I recently discovered my liver is pretty taxed from navigating daily toxins, and I drink a lot of tap water. Charlie gets bottled spring water for his fountains, but this allows me to save money on bottled water and give him filtered tap water. I think it's important we are all more aware of what we are drinking and what our cats are drinking.

Head's up! Adored Beast is offering 10% off everything on its site until today, April 30th! The offer ends 04/30/2025 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Here are the Adored Beast products that I give to Charlie regularly (and these are affiliate links that help support Floppycats):

• ​Adored Beast Feline Gut Soothe​
• ​Adored Beast Healthy Gut​
• ​Adored Beast Liver Tonic​
• ​Adored Beast Felix’s Flora​
• ​Adored Beast The Wolf Species Appropriate Probiotic​

If you have the time, I would love for you to take a look, comment, and share our Shorts from last week:

• ​Charlie Comin' At Ya! - Spring Edition!
• ​Is Your Cat Acting Weird? 🤔 Feline Hyperesthesia Explained by Dr. Dragows
• ✨ The 1 in 100 Million Cat Video You Just Found - the first one I did like this, got a lot of subscribers, so running it again =) Please subscribe to our socials if you have not!
• ​A Promise to My Cat: A Love Letter in Clips
• 🐿️ My Cat's Conspiracy Theory: The Squirrel Mafia is Real! (POV)

P.S. I've been so touched by your messages asking how to contribute to Floppycats' growth, and I'm excited to offer this tip jar as a way to do so. Please know that there's no pressure at all, but if you find value in the site and can give, your generosity would be deeply appreciated. It would help fuel future content and improvements for our cat-loving community. Thank you for being such wonderful readers!

💦 Level Up Your Hydration! Clearly Filtered Unboxing & First Impressions!​

I contacted Clearly Filtered to see if they would send me these items to review because I recently discovered my liver is pretty taxed from navigating daily toxins, and I drink a lot of tap water. Charlie gets bottled spring water for his fountains, but this allows me to save money on bottled water and give him filtered tap water. I think it's important we are all more aware of what we are drinking and what our cats are drinking. So far I probably use the pitcher 3x a day - like fully drink it 3x a day. It's super convenient and easy to keep full. I don't keep mine in the fridge.

​Why Do Cats Like Bleach?​

Someone in your house has been cleaning using bleach, and even though they wash up thoroughly, your Ragdoll kitty immediately and inexplicably begins to go a little crazy, sniffing, rubbing and rolling all over anything that smells like bleach, from hands to mops, to laundry. What gives? Why do cats like bleach?

​Swift’R Sift’R Kitty Scooper, Red Rocket Cat Litter Scoop​

I know I have tooted the Litter Lifter for years, and while it is a great scoop, the Red Rocket Pets Swift’R Sift’R Kitty Scooper is my new favorite. It also has the triangular tines that make it sift clumped litter from clean litter in a breeze, creating less dust and less shaking back and forth. It also has a larger barrel than the Litter Lifter, making it better for big pee clumps. Also, the edge is GREAT for scraping and doesn't break. I love it. You wouldn't think a litter scoop would matter this much, but by golly, it does - especially when I am at a friend's house and they have an inferior scoop.
Buy on Amazon.
