National Pet Wellness Month Gift Basket Giveaway

October is National Pet Wellness Month which focuses on educating families about wellness exams and disease prevention for all of our pets. Having our pets live a long and healthy life is a goal for all pet owners.

This giveaway is for our cat owners (sorry to all of Bogo’s doggie friends).  In celebration of National Pet Wellness Month, Hill’s Science Diet has teamed up with Today Show pet contributor Wendy Diamond to provide the latest and greatest products to ensure your older cat is living a healthy and happy life.  Hill’s Science Diet is offering to 2 of our readers a “senior” cat goodie basket.  Now mind you, cats at age 11 are considered seniors kitties.  The basket is valued at $40 and includes:

  • Hill’s® Science Diet® Senior 11+ Age Defying™ Dry Cat Food – This cat food contains breakthrough nutrition that has been specially formulated with an exclusive blend of antioxidants and fatty acids to visibly fight the effects of aging in cats 11+ in just 30 days.
  • Cat Collar – Just like people, a beautiful accessory can make a cat appear younger than they are – and this colorful collar will make any senior cat look like they’re six again.
  • Bristle Finishing Brush for Cats -  This brush is a complimentary component by helping to distribute oils and stimulate skin to help maintain healthy skin and fur.
  • Petkin Extra Gentle Pet Wipes – A shiny, clean coat can take ages off of a senior cat. Each of these wipes is pre-moistened with gentle cleansers, conditioners, and deodorizers to keep fur looking young and healthy.
  • Fuzzy Balls Cat Toys – Watch as your cat return to their kitty days by chasing around these fun, fuzzy balls.
  • Feather Cat Teaser – This feather teaser will keep cats alert and agile.

Here is an interesting fact sheet that all cat owners should read:  Wendy Diamond’s Tips for Keeping a Senior Cat Feeling Young. (download pdf file)

Also you can visit Hill’s website and take “The Cat Age Quiz”.  It will let you know how old your cat actually feels and at the end you will receive a $3 coupon for Hill’s Science Diet Senior 11+ Age Defying Dry Cat Food.

I have 3 bad kitties… Waffles, Spock and Ranger. Ranger gets in every appliance we own if he can – dishwasher, stove, washing machine, dryer but the refrigerator is his very favorite. The minute we open the door, he’s in it. We never start any appliance or shut a door without looking to make sure he’s not in it.

Jessica Rask October 9, 2011 at 4:24 pm

Millercat makes me laugh when he snores loudly!

Dawn October 9, 2011 at 4:26 pm

I have three cats and they all have unique personalities. They wake me up every morning with their loud purring. I guess it is their way that they say good morning to me. :-)

Nicole October 9, 2011 at 4:29 pm

My cat Sunny hates his own tail! If his tail ever moves he smacks it and will run in circles trying to catch it. He always looks so mad at it. It’s hilarious

Bonnie October 9, 2011 at 4:30 pm

Smoke runs to the door when the doorbell rings!

Iris Delgado October 9, 2011 at 4:30 pm

My 14 year old cat Lucky always makes my day. He does this thing when he is going to run and we laugh because its like he wants to run but it takes time for him to get going. He is also a picture fanatic, if u have a camara…he starts posing.

Angela October 9, 2011 at 4:30 pm

My two cats, Eno and Jet have an early morning wake up gym routine. Jet spreads himself across the doorway and Eno runs up and down the long hallway, jumping over Jet, 10 times…I have counted, and at the last jump, Jet gets up and they both go to their favorite place on top of the couch to catch the early morning rays. This has been going on for the past 9 years. Gotta love ‘em.

Shirley Ramirez October 9, 2011 at 4:31 pm

My cat Stewie is so funny that he is constantly making me laugh. He loves bags any bags and sometimes when I pick up my tote bag I find Stewie in it.

amanda musselman October 9, 2011 at 4:33 pm

my cat spencer is a trip!!!so to say the least,he loves birds.i have a few bird feeders hanging on shepherd hooks and he is so smart that he will scale the pole and knock the feeders down,and this is so he can be up close and personal with them(:

Marla October 9, 2011 at 4:34 pm

Our cat Alex is the best cat ever. His best bud is my 11 month old daughter. Alex spooks easliy. The otherday my daughters shoe was in the middle of the floor and he walked by it quickly and all of a sudden it must have scared him because all four paws were off the floor and his back was arched. It was the funniest thing to watch.

Cheryl Redman October 9, 2011 at 4:37 pm

My cat always lets me know she’s hungry by hopping on my lap and putting her paw on the side of my face. Always makes me chuckle

Andrea Freda October 9, 2011 at 4:37 pm

My cat Salem will let everyone in the house know she’s hungry by bringing her string while she meows with the long string still in her mouth to everyone in the house. When nobody responds to her “I want it now” demands she drops her string and ALL of her toys she can find into her food dish lol. On a side note I was starving the other day and mom was cooking so I picked up the cats string in my mouth and dropped it near the stove..My mom was hysterical laughing me=)

Lisa October 9, 2011 at 4:38 pm

My cat chirps and makes bird noises when she is happy ! She also doesn’t always check to see if the window is open before she jumps into it.. OUCH!!

Lynne October 9, 2011 at 4:38 pm

I have two grand-kitties. Nubie and Elvis….beautiful little boys!

Julie October 9, 2011 at 4:41 pm

I have a large orange tabby he i s very old and my little baby (literally he thinks hes a baby) and when i go to my bed room and close the door he will sit at the door and say momma momma till i open it then i open it and he sits at my feet till i pick him up and he rest hes head on my boob and does this sigh thing its really really cute and makes me smile

Jennifer Sadowski October 9, 2011 at 4:42 pm

My cat Eleanie makes me laugh when I tell her she is pretty. When I’m saying “Who’s so pretty, who’s a pretty kitty?” She stretches out and spins in circles on her back like she is posing for pictures.

Michele H. October 9, 2011 at 4:48 pm

My Tuxedo cat Max does one thing that drives me nuts and one thing that makes me laugh.

The nuts side is if it is time for his breakfast and I am still asleep he will either walk up on me and start pulling my hair out or go up to my nightstand and start batting things off.

The funny side is he has this favorite “blankie” I have on my bed. It is a soft cotton that I have folded up to just the right size for him. Well every once and awhile he likes to take a portion of this blankie in his mouth, take his front paws and start to kneed the blanket as he goes around in circles to twist up the blankie all while he is purring like a freight train. He usually only does this for me and only one other person has seen him do this once and until she saw him do it my aunt didn’t believe me!

Debbie Novak October 9, 2011 at 4:49 pm

My 2 kitties, Ariel & Gizmo, are V8 juice junkies. As soon as I pour myself a glass I am surrounded. They will follow me everywhere if I am holding a glass of it. If I sit down on the couch to drink it, they are all over me. They reach their little paws out and try to take the glass away from me. They meow at me the whole time I am drinking it as if to say “I want some!”

Melani October 9, 2011 at 4:50 pm

i came home last night and my cats had knocked over my kitchen chair. Must have been one heck of a party that they threw!

Elaine October 9, 2011 at 4:51 pm

We have the ‘Boys’ … 2 of them, barely 2 years old…one-Shea (aka-Bubba, because of his blank stare) and Larry (aka – The Mayor becuse he’s into everyones business) … We LOVE it when they rumble on the stairs… growling (fake) and running. Also, when we open the door and the glass door is shut for them to look out at the chipmonks, BOTH of them get laser attention watching them…if you come up behind them too fast, they get spooked! But we usually goad them with comments like “did you SEE that chipmonk??’ their tails swish when we do this.

Lisa October 9, 2011 at 4:56 pm

We have two cats, Kitty and Little Kitty ( I know we are so original lol). Little Kitty love to play with bottle caps, she carries them through the house until she finds my hubby’s sneakers and then puts it in there and bats them with her paw until it flips out then she starts over again :)

Amanda S. October 9, 2011 at 4:58 pm

I just LOVE how my adorable cat, Gizmo, jumps into bed w/us at night as soon as we turn out the light! (Mind you, we can be in bed for an hour reading before we actually turn the light out! haha) What really makes me laugh, is that she lays right on my chest & snuggles her head into my neck & falls asleep! She has done it since the 1st day we got her :)

Sharon laskowski October 9, 2011 at 4:58 pm

Our old (16) cat max, likes to sit in the sink waiting for us to turn on the water, so he can take a drink. He also likes to take shower with us as well. Silly old cat.

Asimina souders October 9, 2011 at 5:01 pm

Hi, we have a cat named Kabe my husband named her after star wars and the most funniest our cat does is when our air condition is on Kabe puts her face to the vent cause she likes the cool air on her face! It is so funny and cute she really is a huge part of family we appreciate her company as she does ours;) Kabe would love this give away, thank you for reading!

Andrea October 9, 2011 at 5:06 pm

Watching them chase and tackle always cracks me up! They remind me of my kids. :-)

jenine sciasica October 9, 2011 at 5:12 pm

My cats name is Tippy. My husband is a firefighter and was at work omne day when someone left a box of kittens in front of the firehouse righth after 9/11. He found all of the kittens a home that very day except the little orange one he took home to us. Tippy is a reminder to us that even though we lost so many that day the cycle of life continued. He has helped my husband trmendously in coping with all the family and friends he has lost. We love our crazy cat tippy

bunny drayton October 9, 2011 at 5:13 pm

my cat hates it when I am on the phone and chases me around the house. he is mad until i get off

Danielle October 9, 2011 at 5:20 pm

when my cat drinks her water with her paws…sooooo cute

Becky October 9, 2011 at 5:27 pm

My cat Gabby begs worse than any dog I know. She sits either beside or between my legs for every meal I eat. If it’s something she particularly loves, she sit as close to my face and pulls my hand toward her to steal my food. I have to stand up to eat ice cream! If you laugh at her, she stares you down. LOL Love her!

Mark October 9, 2011 at 5:28 pm

My cat jumps up the wall at invisible objects. Not sure if this is a psychological disease or something hilarious, still figuring it out.

Tracy Keel October 9, 2011 at 5:29 pm

I love when my cats think that every box that comes into the house belongs to them. Recently received a box that had brown paper as a filler in it and they have had the best time running in, out, over and under it for days. My cats always make my day!

Deavon October 9, 2011 at 5:31 pm

My cat loves to go outside to lay on our deck so he follows me from door to door yelling “ooouuutttt” for hours until i give in and let him out. Sometimes i just walk from our front door to our back door just to mess with him!

Deavon October 9, 2011 at 5:34 pm

sorry had to repost forgot my email in the 1st one!

Donna October 9, 2011 at 5:42 pm

My kitten loves to watch the water in the shower. When I squeegee the glass shower door, she is on the other side wiping the door with her paws. That always makes me laugh!

Lorrie Gaudet October 9, 2011 at 5:42 pm

We adopted Jack (a pure bred blue point siamese) when my parents moved out of state. At the time he was 8 years old and they didn’t think that he could make the 20 hour trip. My daughter who was also 8 years old at the time absolutely loved him and she was also HIS favorite! When Jack was 11 we decided to move closer to my parents. We took Jack with us and he made the 20 hour trip just fine. He is now 14 and a half and is fiesty as ever. Every time my parents come over to visit, Jack will always sit on my Father’s lap. He may be a senior but he has a wonderful memory and loves his family, old and new. <3

dawn quick October 9, 2011 at 5:43 pm

Sleeps in the turtle table with speedy. Speedy sunbathes on top of him.
speedy is a Russian tortise

Allison October 9, 2011 at 5:52 pm

I actually dont own a cat but I have a friend that that runs a rescue center for animals and I know that the cats there would have a great time with the items in the gift basket and would put a smile on all faces that get to witness them enjoying it.

dianne taylor October 9, 2011 at 6:02 pm

We found snickers or well she found us as a stray but we soon feel in love with her. She follows u i to the bathroom and although cats do not like water she will get up pneumonia the side of the shower while u r in there and try to catch the water its so funny.

Amy October 9, 2011 at 6:03 pm

I love to eat Doritos and drink Amp Traction. So does my cat! He will stalk me for them. If I don’t give him one, he’ll bite my leg until he gets some! He doesn’t hurt when he bites, and I laugh. It is just a gentle reminder that he wants some too. lol

Celeste Ross October 9, 2011 at 6:07 pm

My “Senior” cats, Rocky and Sweetie, like to follow me everywhere. It’s funny to see them following me and if I turn around and go the opposite direction they get all tangled up trying to be the first in line behind me. Sometimes I do it on purpose just to get a laugh.

Barbie Seaman October 9, 2011 at 6:19 pm

I found my cat in the street covered in fleas. We called her Shakie Bake. She’s 4 now and my 3rd baby. We have a close relationship. I hold her like a newborn all the time.She is a Calico and her favorite thing to do is chase a laser light.She will go all day long trying to locate and capture the tiny light. My kids have a doll stroller which they put Shakie in all the time and our cat sits proudly in it too!

christine October 9, 2011 at 6:20 pm

My cat Samantha aka Sammy makes me laugh when she puts her little furry face in mine whenever she senses I’m upset. She won’t stop until I stop feeling sorry for myself and give her some loving. This always makes me laugh.

Leslie October 9, 2011 at 6:35 pm

My cat Boo loves to sit on edge of tub and when I take a bath and play with the bath water. No one told her cats aren’t supposed to like water. lol

linda October 9, 2011 at 6:35 pm

I find it amusing that everytime my 4 year old cries my cat always comes running to make sure he is ok. The cat meows to him and he says, “I’m ok, Winnie” and gives her a big hug! She is a sweet girl!!!

Brynn October 9, 2011 at 6:40 pm

We have 3 cats – Maela is going on 10 yrs old and then last year for our daughters’ birthdays we adopted 2 more cats who were 5 months at the time – Oreo and Cocoa. They get along okay, but the 2 “babies” gang up and tease our older Mae when they get hungry. They know she doesn’t like to play, but they can’t help it when they get hungry and poor Mae will be rounding a corner and out jumps Oreo or Cocoa. They never hurt her but they love to see her jump!

Kathy October 9, 2011 at 6:53 pm

My cat is 14 and since the day he was born he was a clutz. Most cats are known for being graceful and sleek. Nope not my cat he’s so bad that if he jumps up onto a table or counter top everyone in the house runs to save everything from being knocked off. We’ve had to replace an entire dish set because we left it in a dish drainer after washing and he managed to knock the entire drain rack to the floor. I can laugh now about it LOL! Now we just don’t leave breakables on the counter LMAO!

Peggy October 9, 2011 at 6:57 pm

My ten year old cat Marie can’t stand it if I do not pay attention to her – if I am on the computer she sits on the keyboard, if I try and read the newspaper she will sit on the paper!

Stephanie October 9, 2011 at 7:13 pm

When he chases his tail in circles — and he makes me smile that he’s been such an accomdating kitty with my now 2-year old toddler who is obsessed with “petting” him!! Very patient, and he has not always been that way!

Lauren October 9, 2011 at 7:21 pm

My cat coal ONLY drinks out of a faucet. Forget his water dish, he likes his H2O cold! lol

Darla Swales October 9, 2011 at 7:37 pm

I have 3 cats, 2 female and a male ~ my oldest is sebastion, she loves to hide behind doors and attack, it is so cute and she gets the other 2 every time, you would think they would know!

Jen October 9, 2011 at 7:45 pm

My Siamese cat Little Miss Bitey loves to investigate the refrigerator. One day she was checking it out while I was getting a drink. 5 minutes later I hear faint meowing. After looking all over, I open the fridge and there she was!!! I was so relieved that I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She still likes the fridge but doesn’t try to jump in it anymore.

Linda- PA October 9, 2011 at 8:42 pm

My Cat Racer torments my husband! :)

Karen Callahan October 9, 2011 at 9:09 pm

Our two cats are more like dogs than kitties. They come when they are called and our Ragdoll jumps up into our arms when we ask him too! Our Siamese/Tabby mix is so affectionate and supportive when we need it. Our home would not be complete without our feline family. :)

Christine October 9, 2011 at 9:19 pm

Nikki licks my earlobes to wake me up in the morning when she wants to be fed!! She is 11 years old and has been doing this since she was 6 weeks old! She’s the best cat anyone could ever ask for and she’s recently lost her best friend Raven who passed away last week from kidney failure.

leann October 9, 2011 at 9:38 pm

My 2 cats Jet and Coal are constantly knocking over their water bowl. After they make a mess, they try to drink the water out of my keurig coffee maker!
