Um…yeah…you had me at “hello” you sweet bogo sign!<\/p><\/div>\n

There are just certain phrases that cause my heart to race \u2013 you know, like \u201cclearance sale,\u201d \u201c50% off,\u201d and \u201cbuy one, get one free.\u201d This is especially true when it comes to shoes, but with the limited income I have at the moment, it is like having the heavens open up and winning the lottery when the phrase applies to something as practical as cat litter! And not just any cat litter, but the brand of cat litter that my cats use!! Hallelujah and praise to the cat litter gods!!<\/p>\n

Yup\u2026 last Thursday Dan and I were doing our weekly grocery shopping at Publix when we happened upon that glorious sign that we see maybe once or twice a year if we are lucky\u2026 The Cat\u2019s Pride<\/a> brand of litter that our cats use was buy one, get one free!!! Now this might not be a big deal to everyone, but to us in our multi-cat home of 8, not only was it a big deal, it was an\u00a0EVENT<\/strong>. I say this because unlike the times we (me) fall victim to the hypnotic charms of the bogo signs, buying things in bulk that will take us a lifetime to use, like wax paper, Cat\u2019s Pride litter is something our cats use each and every week without fail.<\/p>\n

\"Beautiful<\/a>

Cats hunt for mice… I hunt for sales, what can I say…<\/p><\/div>\n

When you consider each 20 pound jug of the litter retails for $6.99 and for each jug we bought, we got one free, we had no choice but to make it a project and visit Publix a couple times a day throughout the weekend! At final count, we ended up with 24 jugs of litter, meaning that we got 12 of them for free, saving us over $80.00!! I don\u2019t know about your household, but in ours, that is about a week’s worth of groceries, so in essence, we will be eating for free for one week! If that’s not the cat’s meow, I don’t know what is!<\/p>\n

\"CatLitter\"<\/a>

Score! We were literally doing the Snoopy Happy Dance of cat litter victory!<\/p><\/div>\n

All of this brings up an interesting point \u2013 I talk a lot on my blog about living in a multi-cat household and I also do a lot of product testing on my cats for reviews. But the one product I will not review is cat litter. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t like other litter manufacturers or brands \u2013 there are many of them out there and I am sure they are great. I have worked with World\u2019s Best Cat Litter<\/a> when I ran Zee and Zoey’s\u00a0Cat Ruler of the World Campaign for a Cause <\/a>contest and they donated 2000 pounds of \u00a0litter to the Blind Cat Rescue<\/a> Organization for the contest. I\u00a0have also met a lot of great people from other litter companies while attending cat related conferences, but unlike my willingness to compromise other things in my life, if there is one thing I have learned with my cats, is that if it\u2019s not broken, don\u2019t fix it. Especially when it comes to cats and their litter habits. No review in the world is worth tampering with the very well-behaved cats \u00a0I have when it comes to their litter box habits.<\/p>\n

\"NVR-Miss-3\"<\/a>

Rolz and I are very happy to say with our NVR Miss litter box and Cat’s Pride litter, that the bathroom habits of our cats is clean and healthy!<\/p><\/div>\n

Many years ago, prior to me being a blogger, I had tried numerous litters with my cats to get to that perfect balance of no odors, easy to scoop, and one they would all use without issue. That litter ended up being Cat\u2019s Pride and once I found it worked ideally for my multi-cat household, I have not looked back. I use the “Complete” type \u00a0for multiple cats and if you recall, I gave advice last week<\/a> on how to keep the peace in a multi-cat household – I had indicated that one of the ways to do that is to make sure that the litter box is as clean as possible to reduce the possibility of territorial spraying and marking. I am happy to say I have that balance with Cat\u2019s Pride.<\/p>\n

I am also happy to say that since last week\u2019s post when I admitted there were some negative kitty issues with the introduction of Jazmine into our household, that things have gotten better. Zoey has become more of herself and is back to napping on my outstretched legs when I sit on the couch at night. She and Jazmine have also taken to playing and wrestling together more frequently and Peanut has come out from the bedroom and is back to kneading dozens of biscuits on my lap when I am on the computer. And our reserved Mia who would really prefer Jazmine accidentally fall off the face of the earth, has resigned herself to the fact that Jazmine actually is not such a bad housemate after all and spent an entire afternoon proving that point.<\/p>\n

I was home sick from work the other day – had a bad sore throat and raging migraine. But as this selfie shows, I had a very happy Zoey snoozing on my legs and Rolz by my side!<\/p><\/div>\n

That\u2019s about it for us \u2013 cat litter on sale and cats napping together \u2013 doesn’t really take much to make us happy! How about your household \u2013 do you have a special cat litter that you use, or do you have cats who are not fussy and will use anything that is on sale? Do you ever have bogo sales where you are and what is your craziest bogo story? Go ahead\u2026 it\u2019s an anything goes Caturday\u2026 share away!<\/p>\n

Mia is trying to convince us she doesn’t get along with Jazmine…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Jazmine&Mia2\"<\/a>

Good job Mia… I think it’s time you admit we know you found a friend…<\/p><\/div>\n

Sidenote:<\/strong> I have not been sponsored by Cat’s Pride for this post. They have no clue I am alive or that my cats use their litter. Upon putting this in writing, I now realize I have made a serious mistake and I need to contact Cat’s Pride to see if perhaps they need a spokeskitty or two, or three, or eight…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
