Leftover Business and New Jobs

September 2, 2014 By: Summer Samba62 Comments

I didn't know eating treats was part of my job!

Even before I came home, my new human put me to work! I was in the hotel room the weekend I was competing in the cat show in Costa Mesa, and she pulled out these treats from Chewy.com! Apparently, Sparkle was supposed to review them, but it was a disaster. She wasn’t eating and Binga tried to steal the whole container and I think my human may have cried. So when she came down to spend the weekend with me, she brought the treats with her.

I promise to give these an honest review!

These are Dr. Tim’s Natural Beef Liver Freeze Dried Treats! The ingredient list is so simple a kitten could read it: beef liver, and nothing more. It has been freeze dried and it is for both cats and dogs! The pieces are kind of big, so they need to be broken down for kitties, and even smaller for kittens like me who are just getting in their adult teeth. They are kind of hard to break up, so my human found the smallest pieces in the container to give me and I loved them!

She said I was "Pulling a Binga."

In fact, I thought they were so tasty, I tried to eat one of the big chunks! My human said when we got home, she would break them up into smaller pieces for me. (They can also be soaked in water.)

I'm surprised no kitty took this job before.

Once I got home, I found there were jobs that no kitty was doing. Like this one — if my human takes a nap on the sofa, there’s a totally unused spot on the pillow, right above her head! So I took it over.

I know there are more too - these things multiply!

I’m also head mousie hunter. Here are two of my latest kills. I can’t wait to see what other jobs I will be assigned!

    MeWowZa! You are quite the spokes kitten for those yummy noms! And you are a real showgirl, too…just like Coco! She loves the one-on-one she gets when she travels with Teri and oh, really basks in the spotlight, too! One thing Teri keeps saying is that she wants to clicker train Coco to look at the camera when the paparazzi are around!

    You’ve been tackling huge jobs for such a small kitty. Take lotsa naps so you don’t get exhausted.

    BTW, how are you getting along with Binga and Bodie?

    According to Misty May that place on the pillow is the best place to sleep in the entire house. Those treats are huge, but it does appear as if you are giving them four paws up. Thanks for letting us know about them. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    Summer our Mom has been buying us freeze dried chicken for a long time now, as a money saver if you look at the dog treat section you will find the same exact treats except you get A LOT more and it’s less money per ounce. Mom couldn’t believe how they cheat kitties out of $$$ like that. WE love them too, so we may have to try those that you suggested. You are doing a great job with all your new duties.

    Oh Summer, we are so glad you came to live with your new Mom. I bet she is so enjoying you and the best job that you could do is to get on that pillow right above the Mom’s head. You sound like such a nice young lady. I bet Sparkle is very proud of you doing all the jobs. Happy Tuesday to all of you.

    Great job on your first review, Summer! Our review for Chewy went so badly this month we had to contact them and tell them they didn’t want us to write up the results. Maybe we needed a kitten to come in and save the day with a review, too?
