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 fireworks as a result.

Some new Shorts for your entertainment:

• ​Garage Sale Hobbies - Our family garage sale was last week, so, of course, it's time for Hobbs. Hobbs is my Aunt's 18-year-old seal mitted with a blaze Ragdoll cat and he is the coolest.
• ​Waking up and Stretching Charlie - I still don't think I have succeeded in getting him stretching on video - but my favorite is him stretching his little back legs when I stretch him out.
• ​What's your favorite feature on your cat? - Think most people know what mine is.
• ​Great piece of advice for all facets of life.

Are you on Instagram? So are we =) Please join us there and support our content by liking, commenting and subscribing.

Have a great week ahead!

Peace, love, and purrs,

Jenny

​The AI Litter Box Camera You Didn't Know You Needed​

If you missed my original review of the SiiPet LitterLens, it is absolutely worth a second look because it quickly became one of my favorite products I've ever tested. It’s a tiny, waterproof camera that mounts right inside your litter box and uses AI facial recognition to track bathroom habits, alerting you early to potential health red flags like UTIs or bloody stool before they become an emergency.

When I initially tested it over at my sister's house with Ash and Addie, it not only provided incredible health insights and a digital record for the vet, but it also surprisingly doubled as a great way to monitor if the pet sitter was actually scooping! If you want ultimate peace of mind and proactive health data for your cats, click through to watch the full review and see exactly how it works in action.

​10 Smells Cats Hate​

Did you know your cat has over 200 million scent receptors? Their incredibly sensitive noses mean that some of our favorite everyday scents are actually overwhelming—or even repulsive—to them.

You might be surprised to learn that common household items, from certain fruits (like bananas!) to your favorite cleaning products, could be secretly stressing out your kitty.

Curious if your home is hiding any feline offenders? Check out this article to discover the top 10 smells cats absolutely despise, why they hate them, and how a few simple swaps can make your home a much happier environment for your furry best friend.

Enter to win a modern, distraction-based way to restore harmony in your multi-cat household through this technology.

4. Scoop

​Red Rocket Cat Litter Scoop​

This is my favorite litter scoop. For years, I had another favorite, until this one came along. It's great. I "forget" how great it is, until I have to scoop someone else's litter box that doesn't have this.

The $5 shipping sucks because it's half the price of the scoop - but it's $5 shipping on Amazon if you get 1 or if you get 5. So get 5 and pass them out to friends and family! Great stocking stuffers!

The Red Rocket Swift'R Sift'R Cat Litter Scoop makes cleaning up after your feline friends an absolute breeze with its comfort grip handle and high-sided basket. Designed with clever triangular tines, this scoop allows loose litter to fall through rapidly, which saves you both time and effort. It also features a stiff front blade and a deep, rounded shovel shape that perfectly tackles stubborn clumps stuck in the corners of the box. If you want a durable, comfortable tool that works beautifully with all types of litter, this scooper is a fantastic addition to your daily routine.
