Tonight I walked into the second bedroom to feed Train and was greeted with the sight of, well, this: There’s over 60 cans there! I work a little later on Friday nights and as Mr. J gets home before me, he often does the grocery shopping before I get home. It seems that over the [...]

Grow your own cat grass.

9 September 2009

Train, who adores her cat grass, has now eaten through both of her plants. Usually we have one plant inside for her to nom on, and the other gets to go outside and recover. Unfortunately this time we left the ‘recovery’ plant out where Train could get it. So now she has no cat grass [...]

Introducing Chloë and her kitties: Cous (Cous-Cous) – nearly 8y/o, torti-tabby. Fussy about real food but loves junk food, and will eat nearly anything with tomato sauce on it.

When Train turned her nose up at the PolaPurrs, I offered them to four readers and their kitties to see if they’d be appreciated in another household. Here are the first two reader reviews. Amy, owner of Sparky: “I was a little surprised at how big and how hard they were. I guess I’m used [...]

We asked you lovely readers a little while ago about Australian and New Zealand made treats and were told about PolaPurrs/PolaPaws. Only last weekend did we find anyone that stocked them. A pet store now requires a mini detour on any shopping trip to see if there are any interesting kitty items in store. This [...]

As previously posted about, I did end up picking up some Chew Chew Bonito Flakes. Train is mostly underwhelmed by them. She doesn’t search out the smell like she does some treats, but when left in strategic places she will eat them in her own time. They do have a very strong fishy smell (which [...]

I work in Sydney city, and often spend my lunch hour wandering. During one of those days I came across Paws A While – a store for pet lovers based in the QVB. While I was there I picked up some Pit’r Pat treats. When I got home and opened them up, they were definitely [...]

Chew Chew Organic Cat Food.

10 July 2009

I may just be looking in the wrong places, but I find it hard to find Australian or New Zealand made organic kitty treats. Dogs seem to have so much range to choose from, whereas cats seem to be put in a little side section with little or no offerings. While Chew Chew are mainly [...]

After my birthday and Christmas I’m usually stocked up with enough cat-related merchandise to last me awhile. A few years ago for my birthday I was given an adorable Maxwell Williams mug which featured some kitties on it. I’m fussy when it comes to mugs, so when Mr. J managed to crack it while doing [...]

Usually I’m the one in this house that spoils Train, but when Mr. J read my post about The Pawbreaker he purchased one for her the same day. Yes, she is a very lucky kitty. The service from Pookinuk was okay. An order confirmation was sent, but no shipping confirmation. We did, however, receive the [...]
