The tongue in cheek humor of Garfield is most appreciated among cat owners. We understand all too well. Garfield isn’t just a cat, but an ideology. He is the epitome of catdom.

These are the secrets every cat knows and keeps. This is the rulebook for how cats behave.

Take a good look at your cat today. You may just detect that knowing look.

Celebrate the joy she brings into your life, the unconditional love, the trust. Celebrate those bizarre moments when she chases pixies in your living room. Celebrate those days when she won’t leave your side and demands to be held.

Celebrate her wackiness, her quiet, her poise. Celebrate those days when she just seems to know that you need a hug.

Celebrate those days when she won’t stop talking or those days when you have to search for her. Celebrate when she dogs your every move or sleeps on your computer keyboard. Cherish and love your cat for all the joy she brings into your life.

I won’t harp on about the sobering statistics of abandoned cats. Rather, I will tell you about the benefits of owning a cat. If you have a cat, you will immediately understand. The relationship you have with a cat is different than that of a dog. Trust is a vital component. A dog will learn to trust and obey you with a few snacks. Cats need time to make a decision.

Sophie and I have a special bond. Every evening, she curls up on the couch with me, trying to get as close as she can. When I go to sleep at night, she is at my side, next to my heart. She communicates with us through a variety of special calls, coos, and sounds.

She lets me play with her teeth, her face. She takes food from my hand. Ours is a relationship of trust.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t dislike dogs. I adore them. I enjoy the nuances of the relationship that you can have with each of the pets. Sophie and I have been able to forge a bond like none that I have had with any other pet. For that, I will be grateful all of my days.

Oh, my goodness, you’d think we were starving her. This cat has become absolutely ravenous. One hour before feeding time, she is awake and asking for food. She is on an alarm system. No food until the alarm goes off. Period.

She’ll carry on for that last hour, being as obnoxious as she can. She’ll eat the spider webs off the broom. She will play with the wheels of my office chair.

When she does get fed, it’s like feeding time at the zoo. Munch! Munch! Smack! Smack! It actually grosses me out a bit. Then, she’ll have the audacity to hop up on the desk and belch right in front of me. Mommy’s little lady!

If I’m not on time with her dry food, she is on it, playing the obnoxious game. Then, it is time for her yummy. Heaven forbid, if I’m late.

It seems as if she has lost some weight, which is good. However, in place of my fat cat, I have a ravenous beast. I can’t wait until her body catches up with the changes in her diet.

For me, nothing looked right. I tried styling my hair. Yuck. I put it up. It won’t lay straight. I brushed it out, and it got frizzy. It is days like that I just want to cut it all off and start from scratch. What I needed was some serious Hair Care.

Well, it actually worked out. As part of my weekly to-do list, I have a task called “Spa Monday”. That’s the time I’ll indulge myself in something nice. I figure it is a good way to set the tone for the week. Even Sophie gets her own spa day. I’ll give her a good brushing to keep her coat nice and shiny—and to keep the shedding down.

For me, it was a deep conditioning treatment. Besides feeling good, it perked up my mood. There’s nothing better than taking care of yourself once in awhile, especially when stress or other worries brings you down.

I learned a valuable lesson from Sophie. Before we switched her to her present food, her coat was dull and flaky. So, I tried her approach. I started taking biotin and fish oil supplements. As good quality nutrition did for her, my hair improved.

I’ll have to believe her next time Sophie looks at me with those eyes that say she knows it all. Maybe she should get fed whenever she wants.

Sophie has a special diet consisting of Wellness cat foods and C.E.T. cat treats. Unfortunately, neither are available at the neighborhood pet store. Since we live so far from town, online sales were my only option. That’s when I found Entirely Pets through Amazon.

Amazon is fantastic anyway for purchasing, being THE model for how online sales should operate. Entirely Pets responded to my order the same day. The order was shipped the next day, and I received the shipping info.

To my delight, the order arrived two days early, something I don’t usually expect from UPS. Needless to say, I was delighted. With the included coupon for free shipping, I’ll definitely shop again with Entirely Pets. Highly recommended!
