Connecticut has had its' first winter storm of the season and the air is cold and crisp, ice is etched on bare tree branches like silver filigree and the landscape is blanketed in a white snowy stole. It is no time for the cats to go wandering about. If your cats are anything like mine, they watch and appraise almost every move I make with a look of curious boredom mixed in with a glint of mischievousness!
I have a surprise for them today... it's Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers the Chicken Formula. This company provides holistic nutrition for dogs and cats. Nature's Variety offers food in a variety of choices from raw frozen diets to grain free cans and kibbles as well as holistic Prairie kibble and cans. Located in the midwest, the company hails from St. Louis Missouri with manufacturing operations in Lincoln Nebraska. They make two lines of pet foods, the first is Instinct Foods that specializes in raw frozen diets, kibble, cans, biscuits and freeze dried raw & bones; the second is the Prairie food line that is composed of holistic canned and kibble food.
This food topper is freeze dried for freshness and, best of all it provides pure animal protein for lean muscles and strong bones and contains nutritious oils for a healthy skin and coat -- this caught my eye because raising himalayans it is important that they have food that contains nutrients to help maintain their long luxurious coats. I was amazed at the delicious ingredients that included chicken, turkey, turkey liver, turkey heart, pumpkinseeds, carrots, apples, butternut squash, ground flaxseed, montmorillonite clay (that acts like a detoxifier), dried kelp, broccoli, apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, mixed tocopherois (a natural antioxidant) , rosemary extract, blueberries and dried chicory root.
Ziva and Zoey were especially interested as I plated up their lunch... I put a layer of their favorite cat food on the plate in the shape of a lighthouse, in honor of Connecticut's Sheffield Lighthouse, one of my favorite attractions in the state and studded it with Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers the Chicken Formula and added a sprinkle of catnip for garnish! What a grand feast on a cold winter's day!Needless to say, all five cats -- Ziva, and Zoey, theMaxx, and Sabu and Mocha loved it --every last kibble! You can order Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers the Chicken Formula from chewy.com it's quick, easy and takes only two days door to door.
Travel Tip - Sheffield Island Lighthouse - Norwalk Connecticut
Take a ride out to Sheffield Island
Lighthouse located in Norwalk Connecticut from May through
mid.-September. Activated in 1868, the
Sheffield Island Lighthouse - now listed on the National Register of Historic
Places - was in service for 34 years until its retirement in 1902. Today the
Norwalk Seaport Association’s volunteers maintain the lighthouse and grounds as
a museum and nature preserve. Visitors
can board the Seaport ferry at the Sheffield Island dock, adjacent to
Stroffolino Bridge, corner of Washington and Water Streets, South Norwalk for
their trip to the island, the lighthouse or harbor cruises. Each year the ferry takes
thousands of visitors back to a time when this and other lighthouses were
critical to coastal and oceangoing shipping.
Once on the island,
visitors are treated to a tour of the lighthouse. The 10-room lighthouse
showcases period furniture, and offers a chance to see what life was like for
the families of 19th century light keepers. Another island attraction
is the Nature Trail through the Stewart B. McKinney Wildlife Refuge, which
completed by the Seaport Association in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. From a viewing platform, a variety of wildlife including
nesting herons and other birds can be observed.
