I Was a BAD Boy Today

I was allowed outside today and made a run for it. Now I am not allowed out ever again (I know that's not true, but it still drives me nuts).

I was out with my human #2 and being good by her feet when I spotted a squirrel across the street. I man a mad dash to the front of the house and got all the way to the top of the steps before I stopped. Boy was she mad when she caught up to me. I had to go in and wasn't allowed back out all day!

Nothing to do now except sleep.

All The Fuss Over a Place to Poop

We are in the middle of a litter box war and I don’t mean Boris against the three girls (although that does sometimes happen here). No, we are talking about the ridiculous lawsuit that the makers of the littermaid box, Saton, Inc., has brought against OurPets and a few other makers of self-cleaning litterboxes. As if their product is all that ingenious. It is really just a glorified rake attached to a motor with a sensor. Anyone with a soldering gun and a nearby Radio Shack could have come up with it. So what if someone else comes along and makes another one.

You know what their problem really is? They are ticked off that someone came along and improved on their idea. Their egos are bruised and they can’t handle the competition. So now they have to squash the little guy under their huge corporate heal before they are exposed for the uncaring conglomerate that they are.

Case in point. Salton makes one pet item. OurPets only makes pet products. Who is going to know what cats need more? Who is going to listen to their customers and make changes based on that feedback? OurPet’s that’s who! (We know that from experience. Boris has a SmartScoop box and we had some issues early on, but were assured they were making changes in future boxes. We even had our motor replaced without a hassle! That is more than I can say for my friend who went through two littermaids and not once did they offer to replace it under their warranty.)

We are very happy with our SmartScoop. It is well made, works and the company stands behind it. OurPets is a company that cares about pets and their people and they deserve our support through this legal mess.

If you want to know more about this lawsuit please go to OurPetsSmartScoopLegal.com for more information and tips on how you can help. You can also read the post over at whataslacker.com which highlights all the finer points of which litterbox really is the best. I hope you’ll help spread the word and support OurPets. Even if you never used an automatic litter box or never will, I am pretty sure your cat would enjoy one of their Play-n-Squeak toys. Boris does.

Mouse in the House Pt 2

Boris is still loving the new toy. We have even trained him to do it himself [as long as he gets a treat for doing it].

Something tells me he is getting to the point where he thinks this is a treat machine :)

Mouse in the House

Boris got a new toy today. Expensive but very creative and he seems to like it almost as much as the fling-ama-string. I hope I can teach him to push the button himself to activate the mouse. If not I can always set the timer so the toy automatically runs on its own through out the day. Pretty cool.

Boris the Medical Miracle

This big guy is in no way a lap cat, but he has been on my lap and laying next to me the whole time I have been recovering from the car accident.

Here is a video of him helping me out with my breathing exercises.

Boris Recommends These Treats …

Are you looking for some good treats that your cat will love and that you know are safe from contaminants? Look no further Boris is here to help. This is a list of his favorite treats. Most of which are made in the USA or have been proven safe:

Whole Life Treats – Made in the USA of only one ingredient. Freeze dried Salmon, Chicken, Turkey, Liver etc. Boris loves Salmon the best [see the video below].

Catswell Vitakitty – chicken jerky treats that are both tasty and proven safe. These are from China but they are made under strict conditions, proven safe and the chickens are humanely [cage free] treated. He loves the taste of these almost as much as his Whole Life treats. Also available in a Happy Hips formula for older cats.

Feline Greenies – yummy treat also made here in the good ole USofA. Five tasty flavors [Chicken, Beef, Ocean Fish, Salmon and Tuna] designed to help clean kitty teeth and freshen kitty breath.

Zukes - Natural Purrz treats are packed with all the essential vitamins and minerals cats need to stay healthy and happy plus they are made in the USA. He really loves the salmon. There is also a chicken flavor. His older sisters are getting the Hip Action treats and they all just love those.

He has also just tried a freeze dried mouse treat and really loves it, but I need to get more information on them before we tell the world about them.

Boris Gets His Treats

Boris will work for his foods! His favorite treat is the freeze dried salmon from Whole Life, we get it at CatToys.com. As you can tell by the video he loves him his salmon treats!

Boris and the Fling-ama-String

This is Boris' first look at this odd new thing in his house. What is it and what do I do with it?



Once he got the hang of this thing he really loved it. I turned it off and he still wanted it running. He laid there staring at it until I turned it back on. Then when I turned it off again he kept playing with it and checking the other side of the door to see if the string was wrapping around that side too. He is a silly boy!

Boris in a Big Box

Here is our "little" guy in the box his new SmartScoop litter box came in. If you saw the size of the litterbox you'd know how big this guy is!

Floating Cat

Boris decided he was going to take over my new photo background.

Bad Boy Like Bags

It is hard to keep him out of plastic bags he loves them especially zip lock bags.

Loves Getting into Trouble

We have to double check now every time we open and close the fridge cause bad boy sneaks inside!
