Meowllo and a happy Wednesday to ya’. Hav you evew wunnewed ‘bout da age old question “Are Dog peeps diffewent than Cat peeps?” And ifin so, what awe those diffewences? Well we set out to figger it out. And OMC is there a ton of infurmation on this topic. But there duz seem to be a consensus on a foo fings. And da biggest is dat there weally awe sum diffewences tween da two.
One of da biggest diffewences is dat Dog peeps obey da wules much better than cat peeps. Cat peeps don’t confurm to da nowm as well. Guess dat means ya’ fink outta da box a bit mowe. We know mommy sure duz. MOL Doggy peeps awe mowe extwoverted than da kitty peeps. Stands to weason they be duin’ all dat walkin’ and hangin’ in da dog pawks, while da kitty peeps be hangin’ at home wiff a cat in their lap.
And da most controversial question is: Hoo be smawter? Well fur what it’s worff, in a study of 600 students; da kitty peeps scowed higher on IQ tests than da doggy peeps did. But doggy peeps be mowe twustin’ and lively. Where da kitty lovers be mowe weserved. Although kitty peeps do tend to be a bit mowe open minded and acceptin’ of diffewences and change. Dog peeps awe genewally mowe outgoin’ than kitty peeps. Seems da kitty peeps be kind of stand offish as peeps say ‘bout us cats. Altho’ weez not fink we be stand offish at all.
Now we fink this one is wight on da munny. Dog peeps like companionship but cat peeps seek affection. Cat lovers tend to be mowe sensitive than dog lovers. And tend to purrfur solitude as opposed to crowds. And it seems dat dog peeps be a little mowe dominant than kitty peeps. Hmmmm Maybe kitty peeps awe sneakier and get their way by manipulation. MOL And it seems this same study found dat doggies wuz da most pawpulaw pet. In udder words mowe peeps in this study claimed to purrfur dogs to cats by 60% to 11%. Da udder 29% claimed to eevew like boff or neevew. Neevew, can you magine sumpawdy not likin’ a kitty or a doggy?
Anyways, it’s just a study. Altho’ sum of it seems to be twu and udders awe twu based on many studies. Da weal twuff is, there’s no absolute in da diffewencess in Cat Lovers and Dog Lovers. There awe no doubt diffewences and these awe most likely to hold twu, but we also don’t fink there will evew be a definitive test dat will give us all da answers. After all this is mostly peeps opinions ’bout themselves. And opinions vawy so widely there can’t be an absolute. Now, me duz hav kitty and doggy peeps as furiends. So tell me, what do yous fink? Duz yous purrsunality fall into da category of yous furry of choice?
Meollow evewypawdy, hope yous enjoyin’ yous Caturday. And we hope da wedder in yous awea is stawtin’ to clear up and get warmer. It is fur us. Mommy’s had da fans on fur days now. And she even had to use da air conditioner in da caw da udder day. Weez had roofers out here all week so weez all a bit fed up wiff all da noise. Mommy sez she has da mudder of all migwaines and sis Lexi and me fink we purrawlly do too. Pawt of pawtment livin’ means yous not get to choose what work be dun or when it gets dun. Altho’ management has been told fur years they needed to weplace da roof, we just never spected it to happen. After all, it’s like pullin’ teef to get them to do anyfin’. But they awe finally weplacin’ da roof. And these guys even worked in da rain yesfurday. Not like any roofers weez ever known.
As me sed last time we wuz able to get a new tire and so mommy and Lexi went to da Vet on Fursday. Da roofers had been wight over head all meownin’ so we wuz boff on edge. Lexi wuz so stwessed out dat when they left she wuz singin’ da song of ow peeps purretty loudly. When dat happens da only fing dat’ll calm us down is mommy singin’ to us. So mommy and Lexi sang togedder fur a bit and then Lexi settled down and they made their way to da Vet. Once there mommy asked him ifin he cawwied any of da calmin flower essences, and hims acted like him had never heard of ‘em. Then it wuz time to look at sissy.
He felt all over her and mashed hers kidneys and bladder, and twied to look in hers mouff to see ifin she wuz anemic. He sed it wuz too dawk in there to weally tell, but mommy had checked her earlier and kknew she wuz fine. Hims didn’t wun any tests but sed she wuz duin’ faw better than any of hims udder patients in da same condition. Hims sed dat wuz a twibute to mommys care. And even tho’ this wuz a wecheck, hims still chawged us fur an office visit. Mommy asked again ‘bout a blood panel and hims just basically ignored her. So altho’ we can’t afford a lot of tests and stuff, mommy be a little put out wiff him. Seems a lot of us in da blogosphere awe havin’ twubbles wiff ow long time VETs.
Mommy’s been duin’ a lot of wesearch and asked him ‘bout sum of da udder supplements and tweatments udders awe usin’ and hims dismissed them and sed dat we wuz duin’ all we needed too wight now. Hims hadn’t even heard of one of da purroducts made by da same company as Lexi’s curwent medicine, and it’s used fur da same disease. Mommy’s finkin’ afur long she’s gunna know mowe ‘bout this disease and it’s tweatments than Dr. C duz. She’s not so sure she likes dat idea. She sez she spects mowe fwum ow Vet. But weez set now fur anudder 6 weeks and then weez’ll hav to decide what to do then. Mommy can’t afford to go back evewy 6 weeks and buy da medicine too. Dat’s technically evewy mumff fur those of us dat get paid only once a mumff. We wuz very furtunate to have one of meez furiends and fellow Cat Scout to pay fur sissy’s medicine this time.
Now me has meez own nip mat and Lexi has hers. Fanks Miss Ellen and sweet Tabbies, we do luv ’em. and we even know which one is ours. 🙂
But sissy shuld also be eating a weally good quality diet wiff da wight purrotiens and not so much phosphorous. Pawently doctows purrscwibe a low purrotien diet in these cases; but it’s not weally da purrotien dat needs to be low, it’s da phosphorous. And da purrotien shuld be top notch. So mommy’s gunna stawt lookin’ wound to twy and find sumfin’ dat meets those wequirements dat sissy will eat. Cuz eatin’ be mowe purrtant than worryin’ ‘bout what’s in it. She has lost a lot of weight, but is holdin’ steady wight now, so dat’s a good fing. Altho’ ideally she shuld put on a little mowe weight. And twust me, mommy be twyin’ to help dat out. Anytime sissy wants sumfin’, she gets it. And weez got a weview comin’ up this week ‘bout sumfin’ sissy has ‘cided she weally likes. She’s still dwinkin’ like a fish which is good; it keeps her hydwated. And in weturn she’s got da biggest clumps ow pawdee boxes hav ever seen.
Arrent deez pencils grayt mommy? Dey sorrtah look like Dezi and me. Faynkz Mizz Ellen.
Now on anudder note, member we got a nip mat fwum Miss Ellen, and da Tabbies o Twout town told her to send theirs to us too. They actually won theirs but wanted us to boff hav a mat of ow own. So Miss Ellen sent us da furst one and wiff it she sent da cutest pencils fur mommy. They hav pictures of kitties on them dat wesemble us. And wiff da second mat came a Seuss hat dat we purrawmissed at least one of us wuld model. Well wiff all da commotion dat’s goin’ on there’s not a chance mommy’s gunna get dat fing on meez head, so sissy volunteered to model it. Fanks sissy fur enduwin’ da foto shoot.
And we got a email da udder day dat’ll make all meez bacon luvvin’ kitties happy. Seems Friskies has lissened to all of us and they’ve put weal bacon in a line of their canned noms. They even hav a contest goin’ on where you kuld win a whole year of these bacon noms. While mommy and sissy wuz out, they picked up a kupple cans of these baconated noms cuz mommy found a coupon fur them; and OMC Lexi licked da bowl clean. This is not da purrfect food fur hers condition, but anyfin’ hers eats like dat makes mommy happy. Specially since she’s been not eatin’.
Well guess dat’s all fur today. We wanted to update evewypawdy ‘bout sis Lexi. As a weminder, we hav an amazon wish list wiff a link on ow sidebaw and mommy will be updatin’ it this weekend. there’s a lot of stuff on it to meet most pocket books. We also hav added a PayPal link on ow sidebaw ifin you wuld like to help wiff ow care. You will hav to enter ow email addwess which is also listed on da link, and any help will fur sure be purreciated. We awe goin’ fwu littler like cwazy wiff sissy makin’ such lawge deposits and offen. Fank you all fur bein’ ow furiends and fwamily and fur yous continued purrayers. We say dat’s why sis Lexi is duin’ so good. It’s cuz of all da luv, support and purrayers of ow furiends and fwamily. And as we do evewy week, weez joined up wiff Rascal and Roccos Pet Pawade Blog Hop. Weez not weally awtsy today, but we awe gunna join up wiff Athena’s Caturday Awt Blog Hop too.
Meowllo evewypawdy, hope yous been enjoyin’ yous week. Weez had roofers all week and mommy has da mudder of all migwaines. We wusn’t too purrleased they wuz here eevew. So when finally came outta hidin’ to find ow supwise we felt like we had won da Kitty Lottery. We got ow very own PETBOX!!! Weez been seein’ these all ovew da blogosphere and weez entered numewous contests to win one. But so faw, weez not won any of them. We wuz a little sad and so mommy set ‘bout to make us glad. You know mommys, they don’t want us to be sad. Specially wiff all dat’s goin’ on wiff sissy and all. Anyways dat leads us to now. Weez kinda twyin’ out to be Petbox ambassadors. Dat means we wuld get ow very own Petbox evewy mumff. And OMC Wait’ll yous see what all we got. Well let me just tell ya’ ‘bout it and show ya’ evewyfin’.
As me sed we had been hidin’ nappin’ and twyin’ to avoid all da noise da roofers wuz makin’ so we didn’t even hear da delivery man come. Well mommy knew zactly what it wuz when she got da package cuz it sed Get Petbox.com wight on da box. Knowin’ dat we wuz gunna be weally ‘cited, mommy quietly opened da box to take a foto or two afur we dug in. Then she put da box up on a shelf so we wuldn’t get into it afur her wuz weady wiff da camewa. Once fings quietted down we slowly emerged fwum ow hiding nappies. And boff ow noses went up in da air. Sis Lexi maneuvered da chair, anudder box, and climbed up sevewal levels of da cat twee to get to da “box”. She stawted rubbin’ da bottom and scentin’ it all up. Me didn’t know what it wuz, but da smell wuz overwhelmin’ and me wusn’t gunna let her hav it all, so me jumped up next to her. It wuz callin’ ow names. So mommy gwabbed da camewa and took da box down. We followed post haste. It wuz like dat box wuz pullin’ us to it. And oh da wunnew when we finally got to see inside. There wuz so many pawsumly amazin’ fings in there.
Da furst item we found wuz a Yeowww nip heart. These peeps must hav da mawket on da bestest nip ever, cuz they just don’t make a bad toy. Least in ow sperience. But dat wusn’t da only pawsum nip in da box. Also included wuz a whole big ole bag of Priscilla’s cat nip. Now let me just tell ya’ we won a cat gwass kit fwum her not too long ago, and OMC dat gwass wuz amazin’. All their purroducts be Home Grown. So you can magine how good dat nip is. And it’s so finely gwound it’s almost a powder. So da bag…it is cwam packed full. No skimpin’ or cheatin’ ya’ there. Yous fur sure get yous munny’s worff. But alas, dat’s not all dat wuz in dat lottery box.
Ifin yous can’t see da video, purrlease clickhere.
There wuz also a door hangin’ scwatcher fwum Petlinks. (We actually hav sum of their udder toys. They’s all purretty cool. Most of them hav a snap attachment dat can be innewchanged.) Altho’ no need to hang it on ow account. We liked it just like it wuz. And it even has a zipper openin’ so yous hoomans can add sum of dat Priscilla’s catnip to it. As ifin we needed mowe enticin’ to use it. NOT!!! MOL Mommy sez da scwatcher is quite nice and goes wiff any décor. Like we care, it felt good and smelled good and comes wiff a snap on toy. Ifin it ever gets unused enuff to get hung on a door, weez’ll let ya’ know. MOL But wait, there’s mowe. Da cutest little weebly wobbly nip egg wiff feathers comin’ out da top by Petlinks too. Weez been chasin’ dat wound da house fur days now. Awe you wantin’ yous very own PetBox yet? Well wait, cuz weez not fwu. There wuz also a sample size bag of Royal Canin Indoor Adult 27 dwy noms. It’s a nice size bag so you kuld purrawlly tell ifin yous kitty wuld like it afur you run out. And then there wuz a bag of Wellness Kittles Tuna and cranberry tweats. In udder words, top quality bwands here. No skimpin’ fur yous fur babies fwum PetBox. Only da bestest. Weez quite impurressed wiff da amount of goodies we weceived and da quality of those purroducts.
Ifin yous can’t see da video, purrlease click here.
Dat’s all well and good ya’ say, but what ‘bout da company? These days we all like to know dat da peeps we giv ow munny to be duin’ sumfin’ good fur da animal community. It’s not necessary , but we do like to see it. Well PetBox got it’s stawt in 2013 when Sean Conlin, Will Ford and a foo udder pet fanatics down in San Diego CA got togedder. In da furst year they sent out over 60,000 pet boxes and wuz supported by over 250 diffewent bwands. And they offer a wide vawiety of purroducts fur yous kitty, doggy, or piggy. Betcha’ yous kuld find sumfin’ fur udder pets too. And they offer sevewal diffewent purrice boxes, to meet most pocket books.
So what do they do fur da community? Well when you buy yous very own PetBox you feed a shelter animal; sez so wight there on da box. And PetBox has a pawsum purrogwam called #PetBoxFridays. Any shelter or rescue can benefit fwum this purrogwam. See they pawtner wiff BOGO Bowl and send out 100 pounds of noms to one lucky shelter or rescue evewy week. You can help nominate and choose which shelter gets dat food too. Like and follow them on Facebook and evewy Furiday at 10:45 a.m., da post goes up fur you and all their followers to nominate and vote on hoo shuld weceive noms fur da nex week. They announce da winners on Mondays fwum da #PetBoxFridays votes. Is dat not pawsum? Mommy’s impurressed and weally likes dat they giv back.

Meowllo evewypawdy and here’s to a pawsum week ahead. It’s Monday and da end of anudder weekend. Here it is Mawch alweady. Da days and weeks awe just flyin’ by. Afur we know it Christmas will be here again. We found out da tire be weddered. We didn’t know what dat meant, but it means dat it can’t be patched. It’s cwacked and split and losin’ air outta da whole side. Anyways, we hav a pawsum weview fur ya’ today. You all know we be pawt of da bloggin’ team fur Chewy.com, and we get to twy new fings evewy mumff. They hav so many pawsum fings on their website and gweat purrices too. Yous oughtta check ‘em out. You know we wuz shoppin’ wiff Chewy afur we even stawted bloggin’, cuz they carried so much at such gweat purrices. And da shippin’ can’t be beat. Anyways, We got these pawsum tweats to twy this mumff and OMC…well let me tell ya’ ‘bout ‘em.
You all know by now ow favowit tweats be fureeze dwied chicken bweast. So when we had da oppurtunity to twy da Halo Liv-a-Littles Chicken Breast, we jumped on it. After all wiff a name like at they must be fur mommys little angels wight? We kuld see in da foto dat da jaw contained da whitest, purrettiest pieces of chicken. And well we awe a bit spoiled. We purrfur da white meat. So they awwived and mommy took them outta da box. Me wuz wight there waitin’ to hav a taste. As you all hav learned, me be a little on da picky side. Okay a lot on da picky side. So mommy’s always lookin’ fur sumfin’ to giv me dat me will actually eat and enjoy and dat be good fur me. Mommy opened da 2.2 oz jar and wealized da pieces wuz quite lawge. So mommy took a piece outta da jaw and it easily bwoke up into smaller more bite size pieces. She gave me a piece and waited. Well let me tell ya’ she didn’t hav to wait long. Me scawffed dat bite down in no time and wanted more. Me wuz lickin’ meez lips and checkin’ da floor to make sure me hadn’t left a bite. Me ended up getting’ da whole piece mommy had taken out just in smaller bites. So an all paws up fur me. In fact, ifin me had more paws me wuld giv ‘em 10 paws up. They awe delishus.
Me wants more mommy.
So what ‘bout sis Lexi? She wuz next to giv ‘em a twy. Again mommy took a piece out and bwoke it up into smaller pieces fur her and…she went to town.
Lexi: I’z lubbed ‘em. And I’z wandid lawtz mower. Faynk katnezz I’z bin loozin’ wayt cuz mommy will giv me aneefeeng I’z want. Soz she gayv me da whole big owel peez. Korz she broke ‘em up intoo smawller bitez fur me. Minez lack ov teef wuzunt a purrawllem at awl. Dey wuzunt hard at awl and browk reel eezee fur mommy, and chood relee good fur me. Dey eeben broek up good nuff fur mommy too pudid sum on minez dinner. I’z gibz ‘em awl pawz up too.
So, what ‘bout mommy? Well they be made wiff only one ingwedient, chicken bweast. They also use a little water, sodium phosphate, salt and carrageenan fur seasonin’ and purreservation. Dat makes mommy happy. And da fact dat we like it makes her happy too. But what ‘bout da company? Well furstly mommy members ‘em when all they had wuz Spot’s stew fur doggies and wuz a small mom and pop type company. She even talked wiff ‘em ’bout purrpawin’ a raw diet fur hers kitties afur raw wuz pawpular. So she knows da company. But dat’s not where it stops. They not be dat little company anymore and hav lots more purroducts these days. They wuz even bought into by a celebwity. But they also do sum gweat fings fur those anipals dat be less furtunate than those of us wiff furever homes. This comes stwaight fwum their site.
