Purrfect Pair: Cat Food Storage & Water Fountain Your Cat Will Love 😻


Hi Reader,

I am outside with my cats as I type this newsletter. It's 11:14 a.m., and it rained a bit last night and is supposed to rain again in a few hours. We usually don't go out until 1-2 p.m. (when I have a break during my work day), but I always check the weather for Charlie.

Why? Because I have to apply Tick Killz regularly to keep the fleas at bay for him in my yard. Yesterday, I realized that when we have a light rain (it was raining while I was trimming my hedges in my backyard), the ground stays dry under my hedges. Before then, I didn't know if it was a light or medium rain because the ground was wet. So, while I was a little annoyed that it rained yesterday while I was trimming my hedges (when it wasn't in the forecast for 5 more hours), I was grateful for the realization of how to tell the difference between light and hard rains for Tick Killz's applications.

With Tick Killz, you only need to reapply if it is a heavy rain, so I'm putting it to the test right now to see if we will be flea-free after this jaunt outside.

Chiggy (Trigg) always loves going out in the morning or later in the evening. Once we are in full bug season, I cannot do the early evenings as that is prime mosquito time - and I don't really like them getting bitten.

I am really hoping the work we are doing with the Homeopath will translate into less extreme monitoring of the weather, etc. for me and a more comfortable existence for Charlie if exposed to fleas.

Here are some recent Shorts - I always appreciate a view and a comment if you have time!

Are you on Twitter? I'd love for you to join us there if you are.

Peace, love, and purrs,

Jenny

2. Hydration

LALAHOME RealFountain DailyFresh Pet Fountain

I just got one of these to review. The LALAHOME RealFountain DailyFresh Pet Fountain prioritizes pet hydration through an innovative self-cleaning mechanism. This automated system addresses a common concern in pet fountains: stagnant water. By automatically extracting wastewater and replenishing it with fresh water, the RealFountain promotes a clean and healthy drinking environment for pets.

The fountain's multi-tiered design caters to the diverse drinking preferences of various pet species. Deeper zones accommodate larger canines, while shallow areas suit lapping felines. Additionally, a flowing water stream caters to pets who prefer moving water, potentially encouraging increased water intake. The RealFountain's 10-liter capacity offers a long-lasting water supply, potentially lasting up to 15 days between refills.

Furthermore, the 5-layer filtration system tackles impurities beyond basic debris. It effectively removes pet hair, softens hard water, and eliminates heavy metals, contributing to overall water quality. The RealFountain's OxygenZ™ technology mimics natural streams by promoting water circulation and oxygenation. This process may enhance water palatability and potentially encourage pets to drink more.

This pet fountain offers a potential benefit for pet owners seeking remote monitoring and control. The accompanying app allows users to track their pet's water intake and schedule cleaning cycles, promoting proactive pet care.

Hyla EST Water Vacuum

The Hyla EST is a water filtration vacuum that uses water to filter out the dust and particles in the air as it vacuums. It’s more effective than a typical bagless vacuum since there are no physical filters to get clogged or allow small particles through.

Hi Reader, One year ago today, I said goodbye to my Trigg. I can hardly believe it's been a year. Seems like yesterday. I miss him beyond measure. I have dedicated all posts on our Facebook and Instagram to him today. And did a memorable video that will be released later this afternoon. Today, 1 year ago - in the evening, it happened, and it was a very traumatic and tragic passing. One, I hope I never have to repeat ever with anyone I love. Go hug your babies - you never know how long you'll...

Hi Reader, May-July 2022, I reviewed the Air Doctor 5000 when we went through a bathroom renovation of my original 1940s bathroom. It was taken back to the studs, so there was a lot of dust, debris, and more. I was greatly concerned for Charlie and Trigg's health during that renovation, and I wanted an air purifier to minimize the airborne toxins they were exposed to. A friend I had met through Floppycats told me about them originally - telling me that they helped with mold exposure and more....
