Cats in the Kitchen... Weruva

There is a lot of truth to cats in the kitchen... whenever I go in mine I am followed by the Tonkinese who are always curious about what is going on in there, in addition to the fact that I keep the treats on the counter in a nifty little cannister from chewy.com.  This week, I couldn't resist trying Weruva's Cats in the Kitchen Variety Pack... it was a big hit with Sabu and Zoey.



There are twelve  three ounce pouches that come in six flavors including
1. One if by land, Two if by Sea - Tuna, Beef, and Salmon in Gravy
2. Pumpkin Lickin'Chicken- Chicken in a Pumpkin Soup
3. Love Me Tender - Chicken and Duck in Gravy
4. Chick Magnet - Chicken in Mackerel in Gravy
5. Pumpkin Jack Splash - Tuna in Pumpkin Soup
6. Mac, Jack, and Sam - Salmon, Mackeral and Skip Jack Tuna in Gravy



I like the fact that all products made by Weruva are made in a human food facility using many ingredients and processes that are used in food products made for people.  The company's motto is "people food for pets"-- I like that idea!  Here are the basic plus's of these pouches besides the fact that they were a big hit with my gang of five, especially, Sabu.


  • This food is high in protein and is made with boneless skinless white chicken breast meat, beef or wild caught fish - salmon, mackerel, and tuna or an interesting combination of these proteins.  
  • The soup formula is lapped up right away and also hydrates my cats.  As a rule, cats don't drink enough water (and, as we know, some of us should drink more too!) so this is a good way to hydrate them.
  • Pumpkin is so good for cats. It supports healthy gut motility and is high in fiber.
  • The recipe contains taurine that is good for your cat's heart and also has added vitamins and minerals.
  • The recipe contains no grains, gluten, GMO ingredients, MSG or carrageenan, so it's a good alternative if your cat has allergies.
  • I like the convenience of the easy open and disposable pouches and the fact that this variety cat has something for everyone even my most finicky eater. 

 Best of all, I like the way this food is devoured by my gang of five!

Spring into Action with Frolicat Flik!

It finally feels like spring and my gang of five are more active than ever!  Since they are indoor cats, for the most part, I checked out www.chewy.com this month and found the coolest new toy for them to play with called Frolicat Flik Interactive Teaser by PetSafe!  



From the moment this new toy arrived the Tonkinese were curious and waiting impatiently to play with it, somehow, they sensed it was for them!  It is easy to set up and just takes three AA batteries (not included) that make it work.  Best of all chewy is offering this toy at a 20% discount!



Stalking is part of a cat's predatory nature and the Frolicat Flik toy lets their hunting skills shine!  The string pops out and goes back and forth and then hides inside the device making it an irresistible challenge for cats!  My cats went on the hunt for the string just like a wild cat would that is stalking prey.  The toy runs automatically for 15 minutes and each of my cats had a chance to play with it. I like it because it provides great entertainment for all of them - and for me too!


By playing with Frolicat Flik my cats learn to adjust their speed and how to gauge the distance of the string that flicks out from the toy.  Frolicat Flik is a very clever design that will provide hours of fun. If the string gets tangled, four screws on the bottom of the device allow you to access the string to untangle it.  I have used it for almost a month and the string has not tangled up, although a few reviews indicate that this can happen. It is good to know there is a quick fix.


Key Benefits

This interactive toy helps to vent your cat's pent-up energy.

An exercised cat is a content cat and one that is less likely to go into a wild frenzy of activity in the middle of the night.

Cats love to run, jump and pounce and the automatic Frolicat Flik tease is a perfect toy that hones their hunting skills, lets indoor cats get some excercise and have a little fun!

The Automatic teaser allows you to sit back and enjoy watching your cat have fun as it entices your cat to play.


It doesn't take up a lot of space and is a perfect toy when placed on a hardwood floor or table.  It also works on a rug but doesn't Flik out as quickly and makes it easier for your cat to catch.

You never have to worry about it shutting it off because this toy shuts off automatically.
