Cat 'Frenzy' Toy

I am always looking for new toys for my cats to play with, both ones they can play with on their own/with each other, and ones that I can use for interaction with them.

quite a few people were on about these Frenzy Toys, i set about looking on Ebay for a cheap one, as i didn't want to spend a lot on a cat toy if they wouldn't play with it or if it would be destroyed in minutes (I also have a Rottweiler who should be in the Guinness Book of Records for shortest time to destroy a 'indestructible' toy) 

I managed to find these 2 (picture below), it was buy one, get 5% off another one, which came to a whole total of £2.63 with free delivery, they came from china so a bit of a wait, but I wasn't arguing, as I  had already saved myself at least £12 by not getting the 'real deal'  

These have an extend-able wand with foam handle which has a bendy tip (similar to a fishing rod bending with a fish on it) so it won't snap, and the use of fishing line due to the lightness of it and fairly  invisible (to us cats have much better eyesight then we do!)  and it makes it more 'real' that the feathers are flying on their own, joined together with a couple of swivels so it can move around freely acting the same way a feather does when it twirls downwards. 

The cats LOVE them (so glad to have purchased to, 5 Cats, 1 Toy does not work with these) they jump around, and when they catch it they all try to walk off with 'Their Prize' in their mouth. 
The design is really simple that I have actually managed to make a couple, using bits I had around the house, as my Furbabies get fed RAW food, I keep all the good feathers from birds so I always have spare feathers to replace them and also make various different toys with a bit of fishing line and a needle. The cats will spend hours playing with them if I let them and I have to hide them in a cupboard they cannot open when playtime with these have finished otherwise they will go and hide with them and promptly destroy it between arguing with each other over who should have it, 

Definitely worth the few pennies I paid for a copy! :D

Diary of Product Review CHICK CRUMB as Cat litter

I'm always searching for ways to save money, and that are pet safe and as natural as possible with nothing chemically added. 

While I was on a FB group for Raw feeding cats (which I have now been removed, funny story not for blog :))
 I came across quite a few people saying they use Chick Crumb as cat litter, at first I was a bit surprised, iv heard of different things to be used for a litter box, but never something used for food.  I read what the others were saying, and saw a link to one that was from COUNTRYWIDE FARMERS, for a chick crumb that was completely natural (with no added chemicals or medicated like some are)  this was £9.00 for a 25kg sack, thought id check the delivery costs and options as being quite heavy I expected quite a high delivery charge and as there wasn't a store near me I couldn't pick up from store. To my surprise the delivery was only £3.95 up to 30kg, Bargain as this brought the full price to £12.95

I have tried many cat litters, I used 'SANICAT' for quite a while, as it was normally £10 for 30 litres  went up to £11, still not bad, then it rose to £13 then I was paying up to £5.95 for delivery as only one store near me was selling it and all they had was the rose scented one, which dyed the paws (and the mat) pink, 
I used CAT SAN while I only had 2 cats, but it was working out quite expensive, i was desperate one time and while my partner had to go to wilkos I asked him to pick me up a cheap bag to see me through. which actually turned out al-right, then along came another kitty, thought i would stop using that and find something a bit more easier and cheaper, I eventually landed on Sainsburys own and 5 cats, which was actually really nice, I have used Sainsburys cat litter for about 2 years now, and never had a problem until they changed the packaging and the weight, since then its gotten incredibly Dusty, no longer stops odours and i was having to change the litter trays ( I have 4 large ones with 5 cats) a lot more then I used to, so back to having to try another one, which is when I stumbled across this one. 

So I ordered that, which got delivered today (Tuesday) after ordering on Sunday, so extremely fast delivery :)

And Now to end my waffling (sorry for those who find a post on cat litter a touch boring)  and start the diary

Day One - Introducing Chick Crumb as Cat litter.
     The actual product is darker than the picture due to the flash on my phone, but it looks quite nice, and has a faint smell to it which is pleasant, The reason for introducing this is so my cats know it is somewhere to go toilet rather than a huge food supply (after all, it is food for chicks, and my cats eat chicks) I have started this by sprinkling the chick crumb over the top of their old litter, and within 30 seconds of it being down, one of my males who is called Harley, went and pee'd on top of it. Brilliant! now if the other 4 cats follow suit, introducing it will be a lot easier and quicker :D 

The link to the product I am using is

There concludes day one, check back tomorrow for Day 2 

Love and Light

Website/Product Review KIEZEBRINK

This post is about: 
KIEZEBRINK RAW FOOD  I have reptiles as well as 5 cats and 1 dog, I feed my Furbabies RAW meat as their diet which has so many benefits and knowing what goes into commercial pet food both canned and dry I would NO WAY go back to pet food, 

The photo above is a mixture of different meats and whole prey

Picture of what I have ordered

The rats are for just 2 of the snakes i have (have  9 snakes altogether) - 1 rat per snake per week, (6 rats- 6 weeks 10 rats - 10 weeks)

all the rest is raw food for my furbabies including the Day Old Chicks (DOC), this would last approx 3 weeks if the dog also has rabbits, (which living in north Yorkshire i have yet to find a supplier of rabbits cheap and regularly which is a pain) 

The whole lot including the delivery came to £41.11 which is a total bargain compared to what you would pay per rat in a pet shop.

Delivery is £11.95, however it is delivered the next day by FED-EX as long as ordered before 11:30am The food came still frozen with dry ice, ice packs and insulation sheets which is brilliant as no-one likes to order frozen food and have it defrosted when it gets to them.

The food is superb quality, and for the price of the mix's (which is mince) its a lot cheaper than normal mince at the supermarket which is where I was getting their meat from costing £1.81+ per 500 grams. 

So I highly recommend this company for all your raw food needs for all cats, dogs, and reptiles (snakes, lizards etc)

feel free to message me regarding Raw food, however i will be doing a post solely about raw food diet within the next few days :) 

Hope you all have a fab day :)
