Thinking of Getting a Cat? All the Points You Should Consider

March 17, 2021 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

A new pet can be a welcome addition to any family, even one with small children and babies. Cats make fantastic family pets, but they are often overlooked, with preference given to dogs; but cats can give back so much affection and love that you will wish you had gotten one sooner. Of course, before rushing out and getting any pet there are some points you need to consider. Read on for more information.

Think About Where You Live

If you live in a busy, built-up area it is probably wise to get a house cat—one that will live indoors, and never venture outside; or if they do, they should not leave your perimeters/boundaries. Cats can be very streetwise but accidents do happen and you definitely don’t want to have to deal with a cat that has been involved in a road traffic accident. So, think about where you live and how you can keep a cat safe and protected from danger and harm.

Think About Your Family

If you have a young family would a kitten be ideal for you, or do you think you are more suited to an older cat? Kittens are fantastic bundles of energy and joy, but they can also be little troublemakers if you give them chance. Kittens require just as much time and care as a baby does, so if you have babies in your house a kitten is probably not the best pet to have around. Slightly older cats that can take themselves out of the way may be better suited to your family, providing you have an area for them to retreat to. Whether you choose a kitten or an adult cat you know your family and you know your wants and needs. Remember that kittens are playful and possibly easier to integrate, whereas older cats are more independent and less reliant on you for attention.

Be Mindful of Food and Vet Care Costs

Cat food costs money, especially if you end up with a fussy cat (more common than you think) that will only eat a certain brand or type of food. In addition to food you need to think about vet care for both now and as your cat gets older. You need a handy and convenient vets such as walkin vets Madison, AL, whereby you can get high-quality and affordable vet care even at short notice. As well as planning for emergency care and treatment it is also important to get your cat regularly checked over by a vet and it is just as important that they have regular boosters and immunizations, even if they are an indoor-only cat.

Consider a Rescue Cat

Before rushing out and spending money buying a cat from a breeder, think about getting a rescue cat. There are lots of kittens and cats all needing a good home and quite often they are purebred cats that are just no longer wanted anymore. Rescue cats and kittens can give you so much back, so don’t rule them out.

Let’s Hear About Your Pet – It’s National Pet Month

April 21, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Pioneer Pet Big Max Water Fountain - Great For #Cats & #Dogs

Fewer things bring as much joy as a cuddly puppy, so we’re celebrating with National Pet Month! This holiday focuses on all the joys of puppyhood while also raising awareness for puppy mills and the influx of adoptable pups around the spring and summer. So, let’s celebrate the wonderful world of puppies this April and show the world just how great they are!

For my family we have had so many different pets. We are mostly a cat family and have had 6 cats together as a family, but along with that we have also had two rats, many fish and even two hermit crabs.

#shebacat #cbias

All of these pets engage us as a family in so many ways. We see our pets as true members of our family and we love them as such as well.

Having pets allow our kids to learn responsibility, but also the importance of taking care of someone besides themselves and also giving love to others.

Unfortunately, at times, it also makes you learn about loss as well, as there have been times when we have lost pets in our family as well, which is never easy.

All of this being said, if you are on the fence of having a pet within your home, I highly encourage the experience, not only because of the psychological aspects

Thanks for Top Agency for help with this post!

Smart Cat Bootsie’s Bunk Bed & Playroom – Tons of Fun For Cats!

June 14, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Smart Cat Bootsie's Bunk Bed & Playroom

This is my review of the Smart Cat Bootsie’s Bunk Bed & Playroom. This is fun for cats, and you will even get to see my cat’s initial impression!

This attractive unit combines your cat’s two favorite pastimes: playing and sleeping. After a vigorous workout batting toys in the gym, your cat can sack out on the top bunk for a restful nap or escape into a secluded, dual-entry hideaway. The handy roof accessory provides your cat with yet another healthy and popular feline activity -scratching.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR KITTENS.

  • Two spring-action toys encourage essential daily physical activity
  • Durable, quilted pad for extra comfort during all-important cat naps
  • No tools necessary for assembly
  • Heavy-duty wood construction ensures safety and stability
  • Ships flat

Smart Cat Bootsie's Bunk Bed & Playroom

My Take on the Smart Cat Bootsie’s Bunk Bed & Playroom

I have two cats and they love to both relax and play. With this great product I found that they did not always want to use this together, but they did love laying on the top and underneath and even played with the toys every now and again. I was glad to have the toys and even more grateful that they screwed into the side of the product instead of simply being pushed into the product. The toys have a lot of give, so I believe that it should last for some time to come. The product was also so easy to put together. With the snap-lock system you can have this together in only a few minutes. After I got this together my cats came to check it out and have loved it ever since! Below you will see more of my thoughts on the Smart Cat Bootsie’s Bunk Bed & Playroom.

Pioneer Pet Big Max Water Fountain – Great For Cats & Dogs

June 14, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Pioneer Pet Big Max Water Fountain - Great For #Cats & #Dogs

This is my review of the Pioneer Pet Big Max Water Fountain that is great to use with your #cat or #dog. Easy to put together and use, this is one quiet pet fountain that really does an amazing job!

With its huge drinking area, the Big Max Drinking Fountain will suit most dogs or multiple cats.  Made from stainless steel, this pet fountain holds over a gallon of water.

Pioneer Pet Big Max Water Fountain - Great For #Cats & #DogsFeatures of the Pioneer Pet Big Max Pet Fountain

  • Circulating drinking water is naturally appealing to your pet
  • Replaceable charcoal filter for clean and pure, healthy water
  • Dishwasher Safe. Refer the user guide below for Pum Trouble shooting steps and Installation steps
  • 128 oz capacity. refer Troubleshooting guide for Product instruction
  • Modern design fits in any home décor

My Take On The Pioneer Pet Big Max Pet Fountain

We have needed a new pet fountain for some time and the new Pioneer Pet Big Max pet fountain was exactly what we were looking for. This fountain is larger than some we have had in the past but that does not mean that’s a bad thing. It holds a lot of water which makes it nice for not having to fill it all of the time. It also is SUPER QUIET, I mean you would not know it was running.

The fountain is made of stainless steel which means that it can be cleaned even in the dishwasher if you would like. The motor still needs to be opened up so that it can be thoroughly cleaned about once a month, but in looking at the motor and the instructions on how to do this I can tell that it does not seem to be too difficult of a task.

Pioneer Pet Big Max Water Fountain - Great For #Cats & #Dogs

So far I have been noting but impressed with this product and I think that you will be impressed as well! If you have a cat or dog, this pet fountain is a great one for you to try with your own pets!

See below for more of my thoughts on this great product!

A Dog’s Purpose – For Cats Too?

May 2, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

A Dog's Purpose Movie Night

You might think as a cat that I would hate dogs, well I don’t. I find them intriguing and while they may not be as calm as I am, I definitely see how loyal they are to their humans. I hate to admit it, but many of the dogs I know are even more loyal than I am my other furry felines can be. Ah well, that being said I still say cats rule, but dogs are not too bad.

A Dog's Purpose Movie Night

This weekend my humans seemed excited about some new movie that they had received. They decided to have a bit of a party celebrating dogs… well… I mean I was a bit put off by this at first, but I am always willing to put my feelings aside to go with the flow so I decided to give the movie, A Dog’s Purpose a try.

A Dog's Purpose Movie Night

We watched it, and I could tell my humans really liked the movie. It seemed though that this movie might have been a bit too soon after the death of my sister, Pepper. She had recently passed away and this movie seemed to make my humans’ eyes leak a bit, but I think in the end they were happy. Why do I say this, well even though their eyes did leak they also were laughing through the movie too.

A Dog's Purpose Movie Night

I heard my humans say that A Dog’s Purpose was based on a book by W. Bruce Cameron, but I do not believe they had read this themselves. They mentioned that you did not need to read the book to appreciate the movie. It seemed to me, as a cat, that even though this movie was made to appreciate the love for dogs, this really could also talk to the love that you give any pet.

Nature’s Logic Offers High Quality Dining for Cats

December 30, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Nature's Logic

 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

 

As I get ready for the new year I cannot forget to make sure that I have not forgotten about my furry friends. Just like I make sure that I feed my wife and kids the best, I also like to make sure that our cats also have great food to eat.

Nature's Logic Nature's Logic

Recently I was introduced to a new cat food brand for me, Nature’s Logic. What I love about this brand is that Nature’s Logic is dedicated to offering diets that are made exclusively with whole foods and 100% natural ingredients. This mans that their foods:

  • Are free of common allergens and include no corn, wheat, rice, soy, potato, tapioca, peas, or sweet potatoes
  • Contain natural antioxidants from fruits and vegetables grown in the USA
  • Do not contain any man-made synthetic vitamins, minerals or amino acids, nor any genetically engineered fruits, veggies, nuts, grasses, or seeds
  • Have probiotics and enzymes that help increase nutrient absorption and aid in digestion
  • Are nutrient dense and highly digestible

Nature's Logic Nature's Logic

I tested out a few of their dry and wet food options with our three cats and I have to say that I am impressed by the high quality ingredients and also how well my cats loved this food! Just look below and you will see how much one of my cats loved the wet Nature’s Logic food.

This being said the dry food is also filled with just as great ingredients and I am seeing that I do not have to give as much food to the cats as they are getting full on less.

Nature's Logic Nature's Logic

All-in-all I have to say that Nature’s Logic really offers amazing food that your cats will love!

Pepper Goes Nuts For a Nine Lives Movie Night #CatHomeMovieNight #NineLivesInsiders

November 16, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Nine Lives Movie Night

 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

MEOW! These humans of mine seems to always watch movies, but none of them ever seem to catch my eye. I would rather take a cat nap myself usually. It was different this weekend though. My humans were acting a bit crazier than usual, and I did not know that there was going to be some fun for my brother and I too. So my dad who calls himself the Dad of Divas told me that this movie was about a guy who gets turned into a cat to right some wrongs. Sounds like something all humans would learn from, especially my humans.

Nine Lives Movie Night

My humans always think we have it so easy, but it is not that easy to be a cat!

About Nine Lives

Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game. His eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date – the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere. But Tom’s workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman).

Nine Lives Movie Night

Rebecca’s 11th birthday is here, and she wants the gift she wants every year, a cat. Tom hates cats, but he is without a gift and time is running out. His GPS directs him to a mystical pet store brimming with odd and exotic cats- where the store’s eccentric owner- Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), presents him with a majestic tomcat, named Mr. Fuzzypants.

Nine Lives Movie Night

En route to present his daughter with her dream pet, a bizarre turn of events finds Tom trapped inside the body of Mr. Fuzzypants. Adopted by his own family, he begins to experience what life is truly like for the family pet, and as a cat, Tom begins to see his family and his life through a new and unexpected perspective. Meanwhile, his family adjusts to life with an odd and stubborn cat, and his son David (Robbie Amell), steps up in ways Tom never expected.

Nine Lives Movie Night

If any hope exists of returning to his family as the husband and father they deserve, Tom will have to learn why he has been placed in this peculiar situation and the great lengths he must go to earn back his human existence.

Nine Lives Movie Night

Peppers’ Thoughts on the Film

As I said I usually fall asleep during movies, but this was a fun one. I loved seeing the cats ruling the roost in this movie and as I said, that guy learned his lesson by walking a few steps in a cats’ pawprints. It was not just me, but my sister and brother and even my humans seemed to like the film too. They were laughing and had smiles on their faces throughout the movie which I guess is a good sign. I tend to be a action freak and this movie delivered. I loved all of the action and even though there were some dogs (BOO) in the film. I give the film two paws up! Watch this with your family for a great night together!

Disclosure: As a Fox Home Entertainment Insider I was sent the film, information and promotional products. As always all thoughts belong to Pepper and have not been influenced!

AvoDerm Natural 6 Weeks & My Cats Are Still Happy #AvoDermNatural #ad

November 20, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

I am being compensated for helping spread the word about Avoderm Revolving Menu but Dad of Divas only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Avoderm is not responsible for the content of this article.

For the past six weeks my cats, Pickles and Pepper have been trying out AvoDerm natural grain free foods. As you can see in the above picture, the cats simply love it!

I did not know whether they would or not as sometimes they can be a bit picky to their likes and dislikes, but from the moment that they first tried this food they were hooked.

As a pet parent, I have to say that I too was pleased to give this to them as well as AvoDerm Natural pet food prides itself on making food that will help pets avoid food sensitivities. They do this by varying the proteins in the food so that your pets do not form allergies. I also have come to find that because the AvoDerm food is specially formulated, no stomach/digestive upset w/ the switch between proteins – which is even better in my book! 

 

AvoDerm

Benefits of AvoDerm Natural Grain Free Foods

  • Vary your cat’s protein to prevent boredom and possible food allergies
  • Grain Free, Gluten Free
  • Limited Ingredient (LID) list to help further minimize sensitivities
  • Switch proteins without causing stomach/digestive upset
  • Meat protein is always the first ingredient
  • No white potatoes or fillers added

AvoDerm Natural is also made in the USA – using California avocados and high quality proteins to create the food that they make for cats and dogs.  I did not know about the health benefits of Avocados and whether they were safe for my cats before starting this trial. However in going through this I found that in fact avocados are very safe (with the exception of the pit and skin) but they also offer benefits that include:

  • Avocados help pets absorb more of the nutrients they need
  • Avocados are rich in heart healthy fats and omega 3&6 fatty acids
  • Avocados are packed with antioxidants and nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including vitamins A, C, E & B6 for overall health
  • A six week trial of the food will show you results with a healthier, shinier, smoother skin and coat Avoderm Natural is made in the USA specifically in California and created using California Avocados and high quality proteins.

Who Knew Avocado Superfood from Avoderm Could Be So Good! #AvoDermNatural

October 20, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Avoderm
This post is sponsored by Avoderm and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about Avoderm Grain-Free but Dad of Divas only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers.

When you are providing your pets with quality food for their diets, you want to make sure that you have a revolving menu that you can provide for them as it this is so important for your pets’ overall health. Many of you know that I tried out the AvoDerm natural grain free foods with my own cats over the past month and I have been very impressed with not only how much the cats love the food, but also the quality of the food itself. On top of the AvoDerm natural grain free foods promotes overall good health and a shiny coat on your pets. I have been trying this out for the last few weeks with my own cats and I have noticed a marked difference when it comes to the sheen on their fur and they look healthier overall too!

After I posted my initial post I had a number of you contact me about where they could go to find this. What is great is that the folks at AvoDerm have made this simple through their store locator.

Avoderm

If you are looking on the locator and you find that there is nothing available near you, I would encourage you to talk to your local store and ask them whether the food can be ordered because many stores can order the AvoDerm products for individual customers. So if you have a favorite store, and they do not carry AvoDerm, take the active step to ask the store to carry the food or place a special order and you can still access this for your cats.

The final way to find AvoDerm is to actually purchase it online through PetSmart.com or Amazon!

I am going to continue to try AvoDerm with my cats and I will share the results as we move along.
