Natural Balance Perfect Bites Salmon Formula Cat Treats- Review

 Maggie May was asked by Chewy to do a cat treat review. Maggie May chose to review Natural Balance Perfect Bites Salmon Cat Treats.
I seriously nearly lost my fingers doing this review. Maggie May was so excited to try the treats. I don't even know if she chewed the soft, meaty morsels. I think she just devoured them whole! Luckily, they are just one calorie each so we could afford to do several takes for this photo shoot.
Ziggy is also a huge fan of Perfect Bites. He was trying to knock them right out of my hand. Which reminds me.... Ziggy needs a nail trim!
Mmm! Those treats are lip-smacking good!
Ok, how do I get into this bag? HELP! I want more!

I ended up having to put them high up where Maggie May couldn't reach them. That doesn't keep her from crying out for them. She and Ziggy both are big fans of these treats. I am a fan of the fact that they contain no corn, soy, wheat, artificial flavors or colors.

Right now, these treats are on sale for just $2.99/bag. You seriously can't beat that! I also believe since they are soft, they would be easier for older cats with dental issues. These treats come in 3 flavors to choose from: salmon, rabbit and chicken.

Being cute can really wear a girl out!

What would I do without her helping me pick out clothes?!?! She is such a big help and never lets me leave the house looking a mess :)

Everyday with Maggie May is a wonderful treat. She brings so much happiness into our lives and we are so thankful for her!

Happy Birthday, Bug!!

Tessi Is On The Mend!

Maggie May's new friend in naughty knee caps, Tessi, is healing up quite nicely. If you haven't met Tessi yet, please go by and leave her some healing purrs. She is day 12 post surgery and crate bound. I'm sure she could use some company :)

BillCat Update! Woohoo!


Hey y'all! I got an awesome update from BillCat's mom this afternoon:

BillCat had his 6 week checkup this morning and the vet said the left knee felt PERFECT!!!! Ahhhhhh!   So now a month of room confinement and limiting his jumping as much as we can. He says it will be 6 months before completely healed. We go back in July and BillCat will get X-rays then. And though early on in his recovery the right knee was luxating a good bit, it seems to be back to normal so hoping it won't require surgery. 

How great is that?!?! Oh, that picture sure does bring back memories!
 We've got our paws crossed for you, BillCat! You are almost there!

BillCat's Surgery is Tomorrow - Please Pray!

**UPDATE**
BillCat is out of surgery!! The surgery went well and the surgeon decided to only do one knee. Bill will be recovering at home with 6 weeks of crate confinement. Let's all wish him a speedy recovery!!!


Just wanted to remind everyone that Maggie May's new friend, BillCat, will be undergoing surgery tomorrow to repair his luxating patella. They won't know if they will be doing just one or both knees until the actual surgery. Please, please, please let us all pray for BillCat and his mom tomorrow. I know they could both use the prayers and positive thoughts during this stressful time.

You got this, BillCat!!!

Purrs for BillCat


Maggie May is asking that all her friends purr for her new friend, BillCat. BillCat is just three years old and has been diagnosed with..... you guessed it - luxating patellas!! Darn those naughty knee caps! Bill has already been through a lot. At 2-3 months old, he and his litter mates underwent a surgical procedure to correct their eyes. They were born with eyelid agnesis -  they were missing the skin under the eyelids. So the surgeon took skin grafts from their months and constructed lower eyelids. Wow!  

Well, now it looks as though BillCat will need to undergo yet another surgery, this time to fix his knees. At the moment they are looking at just one, but by the surgery date on December 19, they may do both! The next two weeks will tell whether a double knee surgery is necessary. So Mags is asking you all to please purr and send good vibes to both BillCat and his mom. She is very worried, anxious, etc.

We ♥ you, BillCat! You will be in our thoughts and purrayers!

Thanks everyone!

Felidae TidNips Chicken & Rice Cat Treats Review

Last week we were contacted by the great people of Mr. Chewy to do a review of Felidae TidNips Chicken & Rice Cat Treats. I was excited to give Maggie May a chance to try a new, healthy treat. She can be pretty picky when it comes to treats, but boy did she ever LOVE these treats!!
Maggie May was hooked from the very first soft and chewy TidNip!
I used to store the treats on top of this polka dotted bag, but Maggie May caught on and tried to get into the treat bag using any means necessary.
So I had to move them....
Here's Maggie May trying to figure out how to get to the new hiding spot....
How do I open this thing????

These treats are great! She can't get enough! I love that Maggie May finds them tasty. I also love that they are a healthy snack with Vitamin E, which is an anti-oxidant, and Omega 3 Fatty Acids that help support the immune system and promote healthy skin and coat. I'm hoping she will share her treats with her brothers and sisters, but it isn't looking too good :)

I must add... being an art lover, I love the impressionistic cat portrait on the bag!

Maggie May and I highly recommend TidNips! She agrees they are chicken-licious!

The Amazing Reese!

Ok, first off.... how cute is Reese in her Halloween costume?!?! 
I just love a tortie... they're always ready for Halloween!

I just received an update from Reese's mom- Reese is amazing! It's always sad when I get emails about a kitty having luxating patellas and having/needing surgery because I know just how difficult it is on the kitty's family and especially the kitty. So, when I can get a success story like Reese's it's such a wonderful thing! Reese recovered from her luxating patella with crate confinement, a little weight loss and joint supplements. I happen to believe the loving care Reese received from her family was the greatest treatment of all!

On another note.... Looks like Sandy is going to drop lots of rain and some wind on us this weekend. To anyone in this hurricane's path.... STAY SAFE, Y'ALL!
