Cats like to get new things just as much as we do! Whether it be a Christmas gift, birthday gift, or a random surprise, make sure your cat isn't feeling left out when their next birthday or the holidays roll around! After staring at Macy Cat for a few minutes in search for some blogging ideas, I felt inspired to document a handful of items that could potentially enhance your fur-child's life!

1. If your cat is as regal as the one that rules our home, it is of the utmost importance to outfit them with a trendy, upholstered pet sofa. It's elevated, stylish, and tufted! What more could a cat ask for!? Your cat might like this adorable one as well!
   
   
2. If your cat is a manly cat who prefers to sleep in enclosed areas, like the belly of a shark, I would recommend you running these sleeping quarters past him. This soft, fluffy and very inviting bed was designed with your furry friend in mind!
   
   
3. If your cat prefers Chinese food above all else, you should introduce these Chinese food cat toys into their life. Not only can you get cat toys shaped like sauce packets and fortune cookies that are filled with cat nip, heck they have their own fortunes too! Here's a little video that explains them.
   
   
4. These cat nip bubbles may appeal to the more active member of your cat family. The rather plump cat that lives in our house just stares at them and watches them pop.
   
   
5. When the humans are away, the cats must play. Crank up their level of fun with this groovy cat music CD. I really am curious as a cat owner what kind of music is on this CD and what it will make my cat do!?
   
   
6. If you're a busy body and your schedule inconveniences your cats chow time, it may be in your best interest to invest in an automated pet feeder and water bubbler. Nothing says "I love you" more than food and water!
   
   
7. I must admit, these next three items are things that made my life a little bit easier. Macy Cat recently got a groovy manicure when we played cat salon a couple weeks ago. She is now sporting some sparkly pink softpaws and I couldn't be happier! It's been 3+ weeks and not one has fallen off! My stomach is no longer victim to getting hole punched by the cat!
   
   
8. When it comes to keeping kitty litter within a one foot proximity of the litter box, we have failed on multiple occasions. We just haven't seemed to master this yet. I just purchased a boot tray and plan on setting the entire box on top of it. Hopefully litter will not go outside of this tray!
   
   
9. Rumor has it that cats who sport a bright orange collar are known as kitty convicts and should not leave the safety of their home. Whenever you see a cat outside roaming around with an orange color, let it be known that it is an escaped convict, and it's authorities should be notified immediately. Macy Cat sports a bright orange collar with a bell. She can be an escape artist if given the opportunity, and we all know that if that city girl got loose in Boston I would be reduced to a puddle!

I know that this probably goes without saying, but if you haven't figured it out by now, I am in the beginning stages of becoming a crazy cat lady. While I only have one, Macy Cat rules this kingdom and really, truly is our fur-child. As we creep up to our two year "Macyversary" since we adopted her, it only seems appropriate to put the spotlight on her for once the 300th time. So get your notepads out and get ready to take some exciting notes on our recent experience with Purina Muse Natural Cat Food!
While you may not be able to tell by her "extra fluffy" looking appearance she may go down in history as one of the pickiest eaters known to cat-kind. She refuses to eat anything and everything that we give to her, including broccoli, candy, ice cream, spam, etc. I kid! But really, this princess does turn her nose up to a lot of tasty, cat appropriate, treats. She makes it very clear to us that she will only eat cat food and cat food only (so long as it's not diet food, generic, triangle shaped...this chick won't even eat shredded cheese!? -sometimes I doubt if she really is a cat).      While she has made it very clear that she will only eat cat food (in all fairness, she is a cat), I felt inspired by her picky palette to put her tastebuds to the test and offer her the ultimate challenge - the cat food challenge!

While shopping for munchies for Macy Cat, it took an incredible amount of self control to prevent myself from walking out of PetSmart with another kitty, a jazzy new collar, all the catnip toys, and a new Halloween costume for her. Nonetheless, I made it out with no extra fur-children and practically every single flavor of cat chow that Muse offered. No, I couldn't pick just three or four, I came home with six, and then another three. Exclusively available at PetSmart, Purina Muse was easy to locate, situated on the corner of the natural cat food aisle making it easy to spot when browsing by. 

Excited by the abundant amount of flavors, I settled on just six!

While on the train ride home, I kept thinking of ways I could put Macy Cat to the challenge, and ultimately decided on setting up a buffet of food for her to choose from. I filled three bowls up, all with a separate type and brand of cat food. 

• Bowl #1 was filled with your typical dry cat food.
• Bowl #2 was filled with Purina Muse natural cat food.
• Bowl #3 was filled with a moist/wet cat food. 

Macy Cat, being the healthy girl that she was born to be, of course went for the food with the most natural nutrition, and licked her plate clean! She barely glanced at the dry cat food, and didn't even give the wet cat food the time of day. I now know what's on the menu for dinner, grocery shopping for her just got a heck of a lot easier!
I'm no cat food scientist of any kind, and I certainly don't speak cat, so I can't tell you the exact reasoning behind her choice... however I do know that the natural product has more flavor, which is what made it a tastier choice. It is also grain free, with no added artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Not to mention, it is made up of real fish and poultry! Win, win! With Muse you don't have to choose between natural nutrition and food that tastes great. Your cat can have both when you choose Muse.  
What a delicious, and quality dinner for her! She licked her plate clean and is ready for round two!

"Natural has never been so delicious. Put Muse to the test with our clean plate guarantee."
