Fancy Feast Mug Give-Away Featuring OUR "Mug!"

Hi every kitty and every 2-legger! It's Cody and I am excited to present to those of you who LIVE IN THE U.S. a super cool give-away from my furiends at Fancy Feast!

You know how people tell ya you need to "mug" for the camera, or you have one fine-looking "mug?"  Well I have a FINE LOOKING MUG for you! Yep it features my "mug" but it also features a special Fancy Feast logo! 

Those of us that are kitties know that we are up BEFORE the sun comes up which causes  our 2-leggers to need a cup of SOMETHIN' to get 'em moving in the morning! While you're eating your Fancy Feast, they can be sippin their "Joe" or their green tea (or whatever else they want to put in the mug cause hey, it's 5pm SOMEWHERE!) in style!

If your 2-legger is  anything like my Mom, it's about 8:30pm and she is STILL slurping her caffeine! You can use this bright and cheery mug anytime and you get to see ME!

Check it out!

When Mom attended the Meet Purina Pet Blogger Summit last October she was given the option of having a give-away for a tote bag or a mug for our readers. Mom thought you would enjoy this, so here ya go!

The mug is dishwasher and microwave safe, it  measures 3.75 " tall and is 3 " in diameter. To make this even MORE special it is a LIMITED EDITION MUG!!

We have TWENTY mugs to give-away (and Mom gets one too). After the TWENTY mugs are shipped to our U.S. winners there will never be another mug like this again! It's a collector's item my furiends!

This give-away has a super short deadline, why? Well you know why! The Big Guy in the red suit is comin' and our furiends at Fancy Feast/Purina want to be sure that this mug gets mailed out to you before the end of the year!

Entering is easy-peasy! Just use the rafflecopter below!

Good luck and see ya in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Cody

CatAmazing Amazed ME! Give-Away!

When I was approached a few weeks ago by Andrey "CEO (Cat Entrusted Official) of www.catamazing.com asking if I would be interested in reviewing the CatAmazing treat maze I have to admit I was skeptical.

I am one of the few who isn't normally a huge fan of cardboard toys for cats (yes I KNOW cats love boxes but I am always dubious of products made out of cardboard for the durability/longevity factor). Plus, I own what I thought was an almost identical product.

I am the first to say that I was DEAD WRONG. CatAmazing IS "amazing" and TOTALLY occupied Cody which is a rare feat. The HUGE difference between CatAmazing and another treat maze that I have, is that CatAmazing has a maze INSIDE of the outer box with holes. It is the internal maze that makes all of the difference and adds a much greater challenge for the cat, which leads to the cat being occupied longer, it's a CAT MAZE which is CatAmazing! It is FABULOUS!

About CatAmazing: CatAmazing was developed by Andrey for his cat, "Mooky" in an attempt to occupy him because he was bored with his toys. Being a cat of "immense brain" Mooky attempted to send Andrey instructions for the creation of CatAmazing via cat telepathy but Andrey wasn't well versed in "Meowth The Universal Language of Intelligent Beings." Slow on the uptake, Andrey eventually caught on. He showed the final product to Mooky's "senior lackey Natalie" and after she pointed out a few places that Andrey missed Mooky's instructions, Andrey made the changes and CatAmazing was born.

When CatAmazing arrived at my home I was super impressed with the care and sheer adorableness of the packaging. I opened the sturdy packing and proceeded to begin assembling.

Now, assembling ANYTHING is not my strong suit and for some reason I function as if I am the one without  opposable thumbs. Let me assure you that CatAmazing IS EASY TO ASSEMBLE, I am just easily frustrated. I was determined to assemble it without heeding their advice of watching the how to assemble video that they kindly provide on their website, after a few minutes I caved and watched....had I watched the video to begin with, CatAmazing would have been assembled in 5 minutes. Check out how EASY this is! The video is from the CatAmazing website:

Told you it was easy!

Now, here is a video of Cody enjoying his CatAmazing. It took him less than 3 seconds to figure out how to use this, but it occupied him MUCH longer than other toys! Cody's preferred method of "treat extraction" is to push CatAmazing with his head, why? I have no clue! I kept the cardboard "scratchy" sounds in the video because I thought it was cute!



Now! On to even MORE fun and a super funny coincidence! My friend Andrey at CatAmazing was already going to ship ONE CatAmazing to a lucky reader. READERS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ARE ELIGIBLE!!

Then, a few weeks ago  Dakota, entered a give-away on his buddy Roo's blog (Roo's Doins) and Dakota won! (He will be posting about his win on December 15.) Well, Roo is one of the kindest doggies we have EVER MET! He sent Cody a bunch of kitty toys (and I am hugely embarrassed that I can't find the photos!) AND he sent Cody of all things,  a  CatAmazing!! Do you believe it? So, that left Cody with TWO CatAmazings! Cody and I decided that since the CatAmazing from Roo was a gift, that we would keep that one and the other CatAmazing will be given away! That means TWO PEOPLE CAN WIN! We will mail one of ours and CatAmazing will mail the other.

HOW TO ENTER: Leave a comment telling me why YOUR CAT is "Amazing!"

 Be sure that I have a way to contact you should you be one of the winners! Deadline to enter is MONDAY, DECEMBER 17th at 5PM. Winners will be announced WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19TH!! Good luck!!!

Give-Away And Review! CLEAN+GREEN by SeaYu - Furniture Refresher for Cats & Dogs

Spring has FINALLY arrived! Yesterday was the first day of Spring and with that comes the arrival of warm and sunny days, birds chirping, open windows and Spring cleaning!

We want to celebrate the arrival of Spring and make your spring cleaning easier by sharing with you a new product that we received from our friends at Clean+Green!

 If you were a reader of Cat Chat last September you will remember that we did a review of some of the Clean+Green products and after the overwhelming interest, we held a give-way. We are holding one again! (I am sorry though, due to international shipping rules only those that live in the U.S. & Canada are eligible to enter.) Requirements for entering the give-away will be listed at the end of this post.

What is Clean+Green?
CLEAN+GREEN® are eco-friendly aerosol pet odor and stain remover products. Our line of eco friendly, green cleaning products are made from organic and biodegradable ingredients and packaged so you can recycle the container - now you can clean green! For green pet cleaning, use effective, non toxic, organic home cleaning supplies and keep an environmentally friendly home - with pets.

Clean+Green offers a line of green home cleaning supplies for greencarpet cleaning and carpet stain removal, green wood & tile floor cleaning, and green furniture cleaning for pet urine removal, pet stain removal and pet odor removal. The products work on cat urine, dog urine, vomit, hairballs, bird droppings, and small animal urine. They are odor eliminators for cat urine odor, dog urine odor, vomit odor, hairball odor, bird dropping odor, small animal odor, dog smell, cat smell, ferret smell and other small animal smells. Clean+Green is a stain remover for urine, feces, vomit, hairballs and any other pet accidents.

The product we received was the Furniture Refresher

The Furniture Refresher is fragrance free, works on contact and is meant to be used for pet beds, leather, fabric & upholstery. It cleans and eliminates pet odors safely and in an eco-friendly way! It is made with all natural ingredients (as are all of the products by Clean+Green)

We wish we had received this BEFORE we just bought new furniture. We did try it out though... guess where we used it, that isn't listed on the can as a place to use it? In our kitchen garbage can! And...it worked! We also sprayed it on the cushions on our kitchen chairs and on our dining room chairs. (All places that Cody likes to hang out on!) It worked! There are no lingering odors! No perfume scent disguised to mask odors...it just totally removes the pet odors, naturally, safely and odor-free!

GIVE-AWAY!!!!
The great people at Clean+Green have offered to give one free can of Furniture Refresher to a lucky reader of Cat Chat!

WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!
Because I want more people to experience just how great Clean+Green products are, I am also going to give THREE additional winners a can of Furniture Refresher!

THAT'S RIGHT! THERE WILL BE A TOTAL OF FOUR WINNERS!!
