Zen Clipper - The Worry Free Nail Trimmer (Review and Giveaway)
Living indoors doesn’t give a cat many opportunities to naturally shorten their nails, so they depend on their people to help them manage their “manicures.” Trimmed nails are not only more comfortable for your cat, but it’s also more comfortable for you as well.

Not Tested on Animals ≠ Cruelty Free - Blog the Change for Animals #BtC4A
Several years ago after I adopted Lola and Lexy and became more involved in the cat community, animal cruelty started to come to my attention. The more I learned, the more I wanted to purchase more cruelty-free products. I always thought if a product was not tested on animals it was cruelty-free, but through some research I learned that wasn't true. Read on to see what the difference is.

Blog the Change for Animals - Laura Zaccardi and the Squeedunk Gang - #BtC4A
Not long after I started blogging I came across Squeedunk, Whiskers and Warehouses and I immediately added it to my list of favorite blogs. Last fall when I had dinner with some fellow bloggers who were in town for the Purina summit, I was very happy to find out that the woman I didn't know sitting at the end of the table was Laura Zaccardi, the person behind Squeedunk. We made a connection that night and got to spend some more time together at BlogPaws last month. I'm happy to feature Laura, her rescue organization PAD PAWS (and of course her cats!) for my Blog the Change for Animals post. Read on for Laura's story...

Blog The Change for Animals - #BtC4A - Baby Gracie
Once again it is Blog the Change For Animals day, a day when bloggers are encouraged to spread the word about helping animals and to inspire others to do the same. Today I’m taking over the blog to write about a kitten my boyfriend rescued.
On July 31, 2014, my boyfriend, Will, was walking to the subway to get to work for the 3pm – 11pm shift. His usual shift is 7am – 3pm, but on a semi-regular basis it switches to an "off shift." While walking past a parked car he saw three children yelling and pointing underneath it. There was a tiny kitten under the wheel of the car, which was just getting ready to pull away. The children saw the kitten and yelled for the car to stop. Without thinking twice Will bent down to pick it up, but it was terrified and scrambled further under the car. This was taking place on a busy street and Will was fearful that the kitten would run out from the other side of the car into traffic, so he lied down on his stomach in the street and climbed under the car to get the kitten. Thankfully he was successful! He scooped her up, put her inside his shirt and went back to his apartment. He set her up in the bathroom with a litter box, water, and some food and left to go to work (since he was already late).
Later that evening I got a call from him saying “I found a kitten and it’s in my bathroom.” I wasn’t home (I don’t remember where I was) so I couldn’t go over. The next day I left work early to go see the cat. The poor little thing was absolutely terrified! And she was sick. Her eye was swollen shut and had a discharge. We went to the store to get kitten milk replacement, kitten food and a syringe (since I didn’t know if she could eat on her own because she was so tiny.) I also immediately called my vet and made an appointment to bring her in the next day and called my boss to tell her I wouldn’t be in.
I brought her home with me that night and set her up in the bathroom. Lexy and Lola heard her little squeaks, but they never growled or hissed. I guess they could sense it was a baby who needed help. After a couple of days of some good food and being indoors, her eye started to look a little better. She had the cutest little squeak of a meow! As feral as she was she seemed to appreciate my company, as she would quiet down when I went into the bathroom and spoke to her
