Excellent Kitty

March 27, 2019 By: Summer Samba29 Comments

somali cat believes she is excellent

This is an exciting week here! The Cat Writers Association sent out the Certificates of Excellence for their annual contest — and I got some! The CWA contest is judged by professional members of the organization, and they can be tough! I know because my human judges some categories every year.

Here are the three I got! And I’m doubly excited because I am especially proud of the blog posts that earned this honor. I think they are some of my best work, and they all contain really valuable advice. Here they are — check them out:

do you have any of these unusual household items that are poisonous to your cat

Unusual Household Items that are Poisonous to Your Cat

This is probably one of the most important posts I’ve written because some of these items are so unexpected! Who knew that a hair regrowth ingredient could actually kill your cat? So this list is something I think everyone should check out.

How to Buy a Therapy Cat

How to Buy a Therapy Cat

So many people say they want to buy a therapy cat — but for themselves, not to take to hospitals like my human and I do. So they are really looking for a different kind of pet, called an Emotional Support Animal. I explain the difference, and I also tell you the best place to look for one. (Hint: it is definitely not at a pet store!)

High Five to Save Cats' Lives With Cat Pawsitive

High Five to Save Cats’ Lives With Cat Pawsitive

This is about a program created (not surprisingly) by Jackson Galaxy to help shelter cats get adopted. Teaching adoptable cats simple tricks like High Five does two things: it helps them become better socialized, and it impresses people who come in looking for a kitty to take home. I have always emphasized that learning fun tricks is one of the best ways to enrich kitty lives, and here is proof that is being put to very good use!

It is beyond awesome that my posts were acknowledged and rewarded, and I’m so grateful. I hope you check out each post because a lot of heart went into them.

    Concats on the well-deserved awards. You should send them back so they put the correct name on them. I don’t recognize the first one but remember the other two. Have to go back and read.

    I am so proud of your posts and the fact they can change lives, they can SAVE lives and there is no greater gift to the cat community than this.

    Helping, guiding, and ensuring cats receive the best treatment and their humans do the best for them is hugely important.

    Well done indeed.
