Mr. Chewy ...

noreply@blogger.com (thekitNkaboodle) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:48:00 +0000

Us4 Cats is anticipating stinky goodness & treats
which is on its' onward quest to our doorstep ...

We are preparing to absorb, attack, chow down

and dine on our banquet of slurpy & bitey nourishment.

What we ordered:

(2) Felidae Cat and Kitten Formula

with Chicken Turkey Lamb and Ocean Fish Canned Cat Food,

5.5-oz, case of 12

2 x Greenies Feline Beef Flavor Cat Treats,

3-oz Bag

2 x Greenies Feline Chicken Flavor Cat Treats,

3-oz Bag

1 x EVO Wild Cravings Turkey & Chicken Formula Cat Treats,

3-oz Bag

- - - - - - - - - -

pounce HERE to check out the Mr. Chewy site!

- - - - - - - - - -

After we try the foods, which will be only a 2 day ship,

this will be Us4 Cats first review on our blog.

This post you are reading is a preliminary review but this weekend we will be following up with THE main review.

Us4 Cats have received requests in the past from other

companies for product reviews but we decidedly were not interested; however Mr. Chewy was different.

The emails from Mr. Chewy were informative and interesting.

All of our inquiries were responded to with additional information. We were impressed with their customer service. Very friendly company!

Return to our blog over the weekend as there will be a follow-up after the yummy stinky goodness and crunchy treats are consumed, our cats lick-their-chops clean, and report back to us with their

cat combined personal written review.

*quick disclaimer* mr. chewy offered us a wonderful complimentary coupon so we could sample some of their products and do an honest review reflecting our real opinion of their products. the coupon was greatly appreciated and inspired us to do not only one review (only 1 was requested) but 2 as adding this pre- review was our idea as we feel Mr. Chewy not only has great customer service but also a great site.

Ah, YeOuchy !??

~~TeHeHeee~~

Okay, so The mom has a new website of her OWN, can you believe THAT!

What does it have to do with this video we found, which by the way, we had to snicker when we saw it and hope the bean himself ~~is Okay~~ sees what
we cats think of time spent away from US!

MEOW!

Back to the point at paw. The mom has been occasionally prepping her site which she only updates here and there. Which is good for US! But we thought we would share the site for her:
Find it here http://roadofit.blogspot.com/

When she gets on her treadmill it actually puts us to sleep. The noise or something or perhaps we are just bored. But she has some commitment to it and so we admit we are ~~somewhat~~ proud of her.

So if any beans out there follow in the fitness path, pounce on

over and visit or follow her bloggy.

One thing is for sure she Stinks bad after her exercising- but for some reason we Cats love her socks afterwards. Pharmons? exercise pharmons?

Sometimes we hop on the treadmill before she gets on to distract her. And sometimes we get up on the noise machine and walk around on the handles. It takes some balance but we are just supporting her!

So for her, we introduce her other bloggy.

It is NOT as active as this one. Which we LOVE!

Just a work in progress, as is exercise.

Scruffy

noreply@blogger.com (thekitNkaboodle) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:21:00 +0000

The InHumane Society is a better fitted name for THIS organization.

quoted in todays news:

"The Arizona Humane Society is under fire for putting down a man's 9-month-old cat -- and it wasn't because of her wounds" ...

LINK: Outrage After Man's Kitten Euthanized

We find this all very distubing, and THIS quote taken from the article :

" The group has hired a publicist, removed dozens of comments on its Facebook page and directed a team of five volunteers to respond to the overwhelming calls and emails it has received since The Arizona Republic published a weekend story about Daniel Dockery and his 9-month-old cat, Scruffy" ...

So, did you all catch that one?
Hm, they apparently HAD the funds
to go HIRE a publicist
but hm? ...NOT to have saved Scruffy.
Yeh, whatever.

Purrs for you Scruffy & your daddy.

here at Us4 Cats, our Pengy was too at the vet last week and she is now FINE !! thank. goodness. . i noticed the prior day she was just not herself. labored breathing, then no appetite or snuggling. I was then a Wreck of emotion for her wellness. it turned out she had an infection and got a dual shot of anti biotic AND something to help her bring in more oxygen because she was breathing hard. i know she was scared. she kept her head under my coat the whole time at the vet. i don't blame her!! i know it was tough on her being there but we HAD to get her medicines. so i think she forgives me now, except for when i give her that yucky liquid anti biotic 2 times daily. but then she gets temptations ! gosh, kitties are so brave! she was a trooper thru it and is all WELL now and back to her normal kitty self, snuggling, eating, purring, playing...all the things we beans LOVE to see. thank.goodness. . she had a uri years ago and since gets the seezers this time of year, but this year it went mean! mean ole infection! uri usually are. we dont like em much here! at ALL! the vet man said if she responded to her meds within a couple days then she would be GOOD to go, and she did! she was better in 1 day! YAY !! i think she recovered way before i did.
hm, in comparison, animals= strong , humans= weak. right!

a sample share

our 2nd FundRaiser toward

adopting our Baby Bean !!

here at Us4 cats this weekend there was alot of creating and baking on recent orders Along with making some more for Our homestead ! so, we wanted to Share some photos of our samples and recent mixed batch(es). this also gives more detail about what we are selling. here are a few examples:

kitty cat face, brown

a red tree with some decoration

Cat Face with name on the back...

(did not photo THAT as don't want to spoil who it is for, should they be viewing)

; )

red Cat Face

original sample photo

dry, natural

multi-colored cat, Cat Face

okay, This ONE is a Definite Spoiler, teheehee.

if the owner-to-be of this is viewing ...

we Had to Share! as this turned out to be one of my favorites name Trees !

we are enjoying making these. for our home and for others. we have received 3 orders so far. if anyone is interested in our crafts we would be glad to fill your order! just click on our sidebar photo and it will link you to our post that goes into details. to buy, just use our button also on sidebar.

creating these started out as a hobby. then as i made more it became interesting how i learned all the little things to do that make them special. first i make the design. the CAT face is a handmade design. after i frame it then the detail is added. once flipped over (very carefully as i found out) then the Cat name is added onto the back. i engrave those with a utensil. then flip over and back over about 6 more times to fix each side from, well, the flipping. then color is added. red, yellow, green, or brown. sometimes no color, just the Cinnamon brown natural. Mmm, lets not forget the cinnamon i mix into the salt and flour dough. Yum! then they bake. and bake. and i check on them, make design improvements as they bake. if names are on the back, they get flipped while baking. once done, they get oiled over for a Glaze appearance. then they bake some more !! this is done twice. the final step, a dash of cinnamon natural essential oil with a hint of apple is glazed over the outside. i started doing this as i noticed it really boosted the Natural ground Cinnamon aroma of the mixture. and, they bake for five additional minutes. then, they hang to finish setting. the process is about 1.5 - 2 hours total to make 3 ornaments. i suppose if i wasn't so anal about them it would take less time. but to me these are special and the result is worth it.

if you would like to order, you can get them in any color, or no color. scented or unscented. and/or the colors can be an all Natural (as seen in our first photos in our sidebar) it is up to you. and we recently dropped the price!

crafty and cute. we here think they are Meowzers ; )

noreply@blogger.com (thekitNkaboodle) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:06:00 +0000

kitties: ....but, why is nobodys else ordering our
kitty Cat crafts mom bean?

-sniff-sniff-

kitties: but, we love em mom .

bean sidenote: i guess i just needed to whine/vent about it somewhere
as it has really been one of THOSE days.

p/s we did lower the price today.

12/3 updated:

that above post was a bad day. pengy was ill and had to go to the vet. she had an injection of a super power antibiotic WITH something to help her get more oxygen. we were sent home with this in liquid form for the next week. we also gave her Gatorade by syringe until she resumed her appetite. she has an infection and was breathing heavy and it scared the calmness right ouuta me!
good news is in less than a day she is back to herself again. eating. drinking. purring and allowing us to love on her and her loving on us again. thank goodness. thank goodness. thank goodness!

Sooo, yeah I was a bit in a funk-
and then this whole thing with our crafts sales just confused me on the Wrong day! I was just Stumped to have gotten so much encouragement to make and sell these from emails and numerous comments. so i decided to make them. they are Quite time consuming to prepare and bake correctly as you can imagine. and then we got 1 order, and then none. What?!?! so as you can see, Stumped is an understatement.

we have received 2 more orders though. so, THANK YOU for ordering these ornaments to help support our fundraiser. we SOooo appreciate that!

HomeMade Holiday Ornaments for Sale, MEOWZERS !

noreply@blogger.com (thekitNkaboodle) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 05:36:00 +0000

I am going to give it a GO !

Last year candles were my Fundraiser for our adoption.

This Holiday, Handmade Tree Ornaments !

I LOVE to make these crafty buggers, so I thought ...

Hm maybe others would like them as well?

It was suggested then that I sell them toward

raising money for our 2nd Fundraiser.

Okay, I thought... this could be FUN !

Frosty is our Homemade Tree topper, but unfortunately he wont fit in a flat box to mail .

Here is what we CAN make:

1) colors:

red, green, yellow, blue and brown.

2) shapes:

Trees, Snowmen, Stars, even hand-twisted Candy Canes !!

AND

round plaques

with your choice of wording:

examples:

Names or any Word you want imprinted on it.

AND

... (drumroll) ...

KITTY CAT FACES

with your Furbabys' names on it !

3) spices:

Cinnamon !

I have made these ornaments over the Holiday and cant say enough about them. They really do add a personal touch to your Tree. You just wanna eat em up, literally.

They are hung up with a twist of Twine !

AND CATS LOVE seeing Their Names on the tree !

Oh yeah, Humans enjoy their names on them too, hehe.

We can also make plaques saying

anything CAT related, you choose.

1) MEOW

2) CATS RULE

(examples)

SO, here is my post. I had not planned on doing another Fundraiser after my Candle business slowly burned out, no pun intended. We did raise 400.oo. Which was awesome. But after the Holidays, well, that was that.

I am seeing a Trend. Holidays seem to be a Great time to prepare HOMEMADE gifts. People like giving something different and crafty. So, Ornaments it is. And not just as gifts

but for yourself and your Furbabies !

Or your family, friends, enemies, LOL.

Whomever its for, we'll design it !

Conclusion: I will begin making Ornaments after Thanksgiving. I will need a Three day turn around time to give

the shape/salt/ dough/color time to dry properly.

If you would like to Order, please do so within our buy it now button in sidebar.

Prices:

3 Ornaments to a Box = 10.00

usps flat box ship= 4.95

(2 sets = 6 ornaments) , ship is still 4.95)

total: 3 ornaments, $14.95

Ornaments are ALL

a good Medium size

and

Sturdy thickness.

Nothing dinky about them.

We Like 'em and hope you will Too !

All proceeds are added into our

adoption Fund.

Thanks in advance for those who place an order.

Happy Meow-olidays .
