Laugh. Learn. Love cats.
Pierre: Do I really have to get dressed up for this holiday? I don’t do dress-up.
Ashton: Take that thing off, Pierre. I’m the pirate around here. I don’t even need an eye patch!
Ahoy! It’s One-Eyed Ashton of the Cat Tree, here to plunder your hearts. (Especially you, Mr. Jinx!)
Pierre: This month, our friends at Chewy offered to let us try out freeze-dried liver munchies from Primal Pet Foods. We were pretty excited about these because they’re made of only one thing: freeze dried turkey liver. No vegetables, no fillers, no added salt or sugar, no chemicals that cats can’t pronounce. I like how that sounds!
Pierre: So let’s get on with the important part, the tasting!
Ashton: Hey, that looks like a really big piece. Aren’t you going to share?
Pierre: These turkey liver pieces are freeze-dried as-is, so they are different sizes, and some of them are pretty big.
Ashton: I’ll take the big ones!
Pierre: I think the big ones are meant for dogs. But don’t worry, they are easy to break up with human fingers. And when I got a large piece, it was easy to bite into and chew up. As a freeze-dried meat, it kind of crumbles, so it can make a little bit of a mess when you break it into smaller pieces. Don’t forget to be tidy and lick the crumbs off the floor.
Ashton: Is it finally my turn to taste one?
Pierre: Go ahead. I had my taste. It was pawesome.
Pierre: Don’t take the whole finger, Ashton!
Newton: Now for me, right?
Ashton: Hey! Over here. More for me. I’m turning on the cute, see?
Ashton: Mine!
Newton: I was starting to think that I wasn’t going to get any. Yum!
Pierre: We gave Primal freeze-dried liver munchies twelve enthusiastic paws up! And the head peep did, too, because it’s a healthy, species-appropriate treat that we all agreed on.
FTC Disclosure: We received these treats for free from Chewy.com. This didn’t influence what we say; all opinions expressed on this site are our own.
Newton: A while back, we supported the crowdfunding for Tiny Timmy’s Dirty Flea Soap, and we have been eagerly waiting for a painting as our incentive for our support. The package from the wonderful artist Sheala Bacon has arrived, and I can’t wait to see my painting!
Newton: Wait a minute! I don’t think this resembles me very much. There must be a mistake.
Ashton: That’s because it isn’t a painting of you. Sometimes it’s not all about you, Newton. It’s a painting of me!
Ashton: I love my painting, Sheala. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to have it up on the wall where everyone can admire it.
Pierre: Hey, Ashton, did you hear the latest rumor?
Ashton: You mean about the Great Chicken Shortage of 2014? I checked Snopes and it’s an urban myth, thank Cod.
Pierre: No, not that one. I’m talking about our houseguest.
Ashton: I noticed the head peep was doing some extra house cleaning, but I thought that was about the coffee she spilled everywhere last week. You should have seen Newton run when he got hit by flying coffee.
Pierre: This is a houseguest situation for sure. I helped make the guest bed. I always help make beds.
Ashton: So what do we do about this?
Pierre: Same thing we always do, Ashton. Hide in the closet or under the bed while Newton follows the visitor around like a puppy.
Ashton: You heard Pierre, friends. We may not be able to read and comment very much over the next week because the head peep’s father is visiting. I’ll try to visit some of you while he’s making sleeping noises, if I can.
