Our home has quite a few windows. The cats, of course, love looking out the windows and hissing or tsk tsk tsk at the birds that they see outside. As this is something they really loved, we decided to get one of those cat window perches or hammocks that stick to the window. At first, I was pretty unsure on if they would really stick or support our big cats, but we ended up being so happy with one of them, that we had to purchase another.
[Updated on January 6th, to add more information] Before ordering and reviewing Republic of Cats, I did not know much about the company. Over time, however, many people have stated that this cat food might be a re-branded, expensive version of Gourmet Cat. Though I have no way of telling, Gourmet Cat does have shares in the company, so it may be a similar product. Either way, these were my opinions and how my cat felt about the food. Gourmet Cat food is low in protein, and currently Republic of Cats does not have a breakdown of their cat food, so there isn’t an easy way to compare the two.
There are so many pet food brands out there and many of them are online! We decided to try one of the food subscription services, as Republic of Cats is a brand I have never heard of, and the Republic of Cats had a two week trial box for just £5, we wanted to see how Pancake got on with it! Republic of Cats allows you to put in a bunch of information on your cat, like the breed, if they are neutered, their allergies, weight and more, as well as what your goal is with your cat’s food. You can choose from options under weight management, fur/coat care, and health management support, as well as list any medical issues your cat has – which is great if you do need special food!
[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to Christmas time, there is a lot to do with gifts! We tend to get tons of gifts for the children in our household, but what about our furry babies? We hopped on over to Pets at Home and took a look at what they had, grabbing a few treats for our Hamster and two cats. Pets at Home has a large selection of items for a variety of different pets, including a lot of holiday themed items, so you can allow your pet to celebrate with you.
Pancake is not an outdoor cat and instead lives inside our house. He is a coward, afraid of the outside world, so he doesn’t really walk into the backyard and if the door is open, he’d much rather stay inside and look out. With that said, out front, he does walk out onto the path to our door and meows at the birds or eats at the grass out there, before running inside if he can’t see a human. Pancake doesn’t love being outside, but sometimes does spend 2 or 3 minutes, supervised, before coming back in. As he seemed to mainly want to eat grass, we figured we’d grow some cat grass for him!
If you decide to get a cat, it might occasionally be wiser to keep them inside. Though some cats flourish when they are allowed outdoors, you could have an elderly feline companion or you could live in a busy area where it would not be safe to let the cat out unattended. Keeping a cat indoors is perfectly possible, but you do need to make sure that they have the right quality of life. If you do not have an indoor cat yet, you should consider everything you need to get before getting a cat first.
