New Watering Hole

/

Being in our bedroom these days is like being on the open plains of the Serengeti, in that the cats have discovered a new "watering hole," and are both working to claim dominance. 

We have electric heat and it causes a lot of dryness in the air. Blair read that placing a small container of water in front of a vent helps add moisture to the air. So we filled a small tupperware dish with water and placed it on the floor in our bedroom in front of the heat vent. 

The cats LOVE the water dish. Like the lions of the Serengeti, they take turns at this new watering hole, eyes glittering in the dark as they lap up the warm liquid. We fall asleep each night listening to the constant "schlup-schlup-schlup" sound of cats drinking their body weight in fluid.

And just like a real watering hole, there is a pecking order. You do not approach the watering hole if there is already an animal present. One cat crouches protectively over the dish while the other sits on its haunches across the room, hoping a crocodile appears to drag the dominant cat underwater in a death spiral. 

I expect a pack of zebra's to show up any day.

Fire Safety Stickers With Your Pets' Faces

/

If you're anything like me (but let's hope you're all a little more well balanced than that), you breath a sigh of relief every time you pull up to your home and affirm that it has not burned to the ground in your absence. 

Seriously. Ever since we adopted our two cats, I'm paranoid about a fire breaking out. Away from home, I wonder if I unplugged the toaster, left the dryer on, or accidentally dropped the kitchen towel on the stovetop and even though the stove was off when I left, one of the cats could jump up there and knock the front burner to the "on" position, igniting the towel, and POOF! The whole house will go up in flames.

(For the record, I blame my mother for these neurotic tendencies.)

So I was SUPER excited to learn about personalized fire safety stickers for pets. Want to make sure the fire department knows to look for a gray cat named Simon? Or that you have 3 pets total? It's all on the sticker. 

Don't wait. There is a toaster in every home, waiting to do us all in. Order today!
