Holiday Wishes and Some Simple Tips on What Foods You Can, and Cannot Feed Your Cat For Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving-2014

From our table to yours, we wish you the most blessed of days. L to R – love and purrs from Peanut, Rolz, Mia, Zee, Zoey, Kizmet, and Jazmine.

We love Thanksgiving for exactly what the word means – to give thanks for what we have. Sometimes what we have is not perfect, or easy, or fair. But, no matter what, we have the friendship and support of one another and to us, that truly is something to be thankful for. So in that spirit, from all of us at Zee and Zoey’s, we wish you the best day possible.

While not here in the physical sense, my beautiful angels – Jazz and Harley – will spend Thanksgiving in my heart, as they do each and every day.

Give all your kitties extra special loving, and for all our beloved fur angels watching us from above, please know that you remain forever in our hearts and we are so blessed and thankful for the memories of the time we shared together.

For the safety of your cats who will be participating in Thanksgiving in the physical sense, we created a simple to read graphic of the “do’s” and “don’ts” of what to do when it comes to feeding kitty (who will be looking at you with those irresistible eyes, begging ever so adorably for table scraps). Kitty can enjoy the day with you, just with safety and moderation in mind.

My Cats and Our Shared Water-Cooler Moments

by Deb at 12:10 AM • Inspiration & Happiness21 Comments
the week begins

The window in the guest bedroom seems to beckon to me to grab the camera each time I walk past it – the cats love to congregate to either soak up the sun, bird watch, or just have a delightful catnap. This is Jazmine, Mia, and Rolz.

I shared some photos of my cats last week for Selfie Sunday in which I elaborated about the downfalls of both my photographic abilities and the capabilities of my camera. Despite the shortcomings, I continue to be drawn to taking pictures of them – quite frankly I’m obsessed with it – but this week I have come to not only accept my limitations, but embrace them, because they are a loving scrapbook come to life of the treasured moments I have shared with them.

Attending a Purina Better With Pets Summit, while an amazing experience, is also an overwhelming one. So much insightful information shared in the span of a day by so many experts – how could I possibly come back home and do justice to all I had learned in a mere blog post or two? The theme centered on the emotional connection between people and their pets, especially as being defined by the new generation of millennials. Rather than debate what to discuss, I decided to go with the obvious – my favorite subject – cats. Read more

From the moment I entered the beautiful Brooklyn Expo Center for the Purina Better With Pets Summit to the time I left, the entire experience was engaging, compelling,  and thoroughly enjoyable. Photo credit: Brooklyn Expo Center

When someone starts an event by stating cats and people are better together (said by Nina Leigh Krueger, Chief Marketing Officer for Purina North America), well, let’s just say you had me at meow. As a matter of fact, whether discussing cats, dogs, having a scrumptious gourmet lunch, participating in interactive exhibits, or anything else, Purina had my undivided meow during the entire duration of the 2015 Better With Pets Summit (BWPS) that was held in the Brooklyn Expo Center on November 3rd.
