Keeping Cats Happy In Honor Of National Cat Day! #ShebaCat #Shop

Did you know that today, October 29, 2013 is National Cat Day? I didn’t and I’m a cat owner and lover! The adorable cat above, Apple, is one of our babies. We’ve only had Apple since about April of this year. I believe it was a God thing… Miles had just gotten off work and was sitting outside calling me to see if he needed to bring home anything and someone just dropped this poor cat off. He ended up jumping in Miles’ lap and wouldn’t leave. So he brought him home. And I am so glad he did! We named him Apple because at the time that was Riley’s favorite word. 🙂 Apple is seriously the best cat ever – he’s one of the most social cats I have ever seen. He loves being around people and being petted. I wake up every morning to him purring and laying right on top of me, wanting loving. It’s definitely a great thing to wake up to!

Something we do for Apple is at least once a week let him have a little treat. I know I would get tired of having the same thing every day to eat, like Apple has to do with his dry cat food – so every Sunday evening we let him have some wet cat food. And he goes crazy for it!

Isn’t Apple just so handsome, showing off the Sheba food we got for him at Walmart? 🙂 I love the different varieties they have. It keeps it even more interesting every week for him!

We strive to keep our beautiful cat happy not just on National Cat Day, but every day! A happy cat makes for a happy home. 🙂 High quality food, like Sheba, makes me feel good that he’s not only getting something that makes him happy, but that is good for him!

Whenever he sees the little cans, he just comes running and sits up on the kitchen counter. We have to feed him his Sheba up on the counter because of our two other fur-babies – two dogs. (You’ll hear a little more from them in a bit!) The dogs get their own treats during the week, so we don’t want them taking Apple’s. 🙂

He devoured the Chicken & Liver Entr Paté we gave him this Sunday! Don’t you love his little jester-like collar, as well? He’s all ready for Halloween! He’ll be getting his special treat of Sheba for Halloween as well – since he’s such a cute trick-or-treater! 😉

These would be our two doggies, Annie (the black dachshund/jack russel on the left) and Frankie (the tan puggle on the right). Don’t they look so pathetic/sad, begging for some Sheba for themselves? Do you think Apple will let them have some?

Here’s the answer for the dogs’ question! Just look at that face – nobody’s taking Apple’s Sheba from him! 🙂 I don’t blame him – if I were a cat, I wouldn’t want a silly dog to touch mine either!

Like I said before, a happy cat makes for a happy home. Some other things we like to do for Apple to make him happy, is spend quality time with him. Each morning, he wakes me up by purring and laying on top of me (literally). So each morning is Mommy & Apple time. If you can’t do it in the morning, pick a time that works for you. Also, we spend time playing with him. He has this stuffed monkey (that used to be Riley’s) that he just loves, so we’ll spend time playing catch – we’ll throw it across the room and he’ll actually bring it back to us! I swear, he is one of the weirdest cats I have ever known or heard of, but it’s a good thing! I wouldn’t want our Apple any different. 🙂

If you have a pretty kitty you would like to give a treat to – whether for National Cat Day or Halloween, Walmart has a great deal going on! They have the individual cans of Sheba on Rollback for just 50 cents a can! And for an even better deal, you should go snag the Buy 6 Get 1 Free coupon over at Sheba’s Website!
