#Sponsored All Cats Deserve A Furever Home! A Give-Away from #NutrishPets

Rachael Ray Nutrish has sponsored this post, but all opinions are my own.


Hi my Kitty (and Woofie) furiends!! It's Cody and today is a most SPECIAL DAY!! So special, that instead of having Mom blog about it like she usually does, I told Mom that this year I had some things to say.

You see, today is my NINTH "FUREVER HOME DAY", or, as many of you call it, my "GOTCHA DAY!!"

I have now been living in my furever home for NINE wonderful (ok, let's be honest, they have been also sometimes irritating) years!!!

Most of you already know my adoption story, so today, instead of talking about the irritating parts of my family, I am going to focus on what makes my FUREVER HOME so special!!!

MOM

I am listing Mom first because she will lose her mind if I don't   because she was the one who met me first, and decided to bring me home. Mom always tells me how brave I am. I am not afraid of much of anything. I don't even hide when it is time to go to the Vet! Mom loves to "hold hands" with me when we watch late night TV,  she often uses my ample behind as a pillow. I don't mind one bit. I like being all warm, cozy and cuddly with Mom, and it makes me happy to know that I make HER  happy!!!

DELICIOUS FOOD

Nothing makes me happier than meal time!!!! Mom and Dad care about whether or not my food is good for me and whether or not I think it TASTES GOOD!   When my Sheltie brother used to bark at me about how much he loved his Nutrish, (In 2007, with help from pet nutrition experts, Rachael Ray created Nutrish super-premium food and treats for dogs inspired by recipes from her own kitchen. Dakota has been eating Nutrish since 2008 and he didn't even have a blog til 2011!!)  In 2014, (after listening to me meow---kidding!!!) Nutrish was very excited to grow the brand into the world of cat food. That excited ME and TONS of other kitties!!! Whether intended for dogs or cats, Nutrish recipes are made with simple, wholesome ingredients like real meat or fish, and do not contain poultry by-product meal or fillers.

DAD

While I love my Mom to the moon and back, I am also quite the "Daddy's Boy." So much so, that it often makes Mom shake her head in wonder.  Mom feels there are two teams in our house. "Team Cat" and "Team Dog." (Isn't that AWFUL!!??), well, Mom has named herself the head of "Team Cat" and she says Dad is the head of "Team Dog." Looking at the photo above, I would have to disagree, and I am pretty certain that you disagree too! I love my Dad!!! Truth be told it is DAD who feeds me every morning while Mom is still snoring dreaming away!!

YUMMY FOOD

Did I mention FOOD??? See the food/treat dispenser above? (It's also in a photo further up on the blog post with the bag of Nutrish.) Mom, Dad, Dakota and I have a tradition. At 11pm I start  my annoying whining reminding them that it is time for Dakota and I to have a snack! Mom or Dad, (whomever I annoy the most), fills my dispenser to the brim with Nutrish!!! Then I go to bed full and happy!!!

DAKOTA

As much as I hate to admit it, (and PLEASE don't tell him I said this),  but my days are much more fun because I get to spend them with my Sheltie brother, Dakota. I was adopted July 28, 2007 and Dakota came to live with us October 19th, 2007. I am betting that most of you don't know that we are the same age! Mom is proud of me because when Dakota joined our family, I only hissed at him ONCE. Mom says that is because I am such a good cat. Not at all. I put my paw down from day one letting him know that I WAS HERE FIRST and that I RULE. I hissed at him that first day, and being the intelligent woofie that he is, he  became hip to the rules around here FAST.

Dakota and I play with each other, (my favorite game is to act like I am being submissive as you see above), then.....when Sheltie boy falls for it, I jump up and either attack him or chase him. "Let the games begin!!"

DID I MENTION  FOOD???

DID YOU KNOW THAT RACHAEL RAY NUTRISH

 dry and wet cat food recipes are made with simple, wholesome ingredients like real meat or fish, and do not contain poultry by-product meal or fillers.

At CatConLA this past June, there was a specially themed adoption area courtesy of Rachael Ray Nutrish called “Rachael Ray Nutrish Furever Home.” 

I AM ONE LUCKY CAT

Not all kitties are as lucky as I am, or as lucky as you all are. Many kitties are living in shelters and  haven't found their furever homes yet. That makes me sad. I pray that one day ALL kitties will have a furever home filled with love and good-for-you, delicious food like I have. Now, if you will excuse me.......all of this talk about FOOD has made me HUNGRY!!!!!!  KITTIES!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-ENACT THE LAST SCENE IN THIS VIDEO WITHOUT HUMAN SUPERVISION!!!!!! MY MOM WAS RIGHT THERE THE WHOLE TIME! TURN YOUR VOLUME UP SO YOU CAN HEAR ME MUNCHING!!!

KITTIES!!! I know you have to be as hungry as I am!! All of the Rachael Ray Nutrish products are available where you shop for your family’s groceries, making specialty recipes accessible and convenient for every pet parent. I suggest that you tell your human to run out and get you some Nutrish for Cats NOW!!!
