Lately I have had a lot on my mind, and today I would like to share it with you!
Every so often I get nasty red, hot spots on my head and they itch! For the past few years my Mom and I were under the mistaken assumption that I had food allergies. What that meant was I was on the MOST BORING diet ever! It never changed, I would often wish that a magic kitty would bring me delectable food in an array of flavors, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. I would read about all of my kitty furiends eating a bountiful buffet of deliciousness, while I sat...with nothing.
Then something meowvelous happened!!! My luck had changed! "Dr.Smiley" told Mom that he thought that my allergies were caused by something in my environment, (yeah probably my woofie brother) and WERE NOT FOOD ALLERGIES!!! It was a miracle!! I was FREE AT LAST!!!!!
Mom jumped into action and began weaning me off of my boring food, and on to another brand. No hot spots!! YES!! I could eat anything!! That made me start thinking even more:
I often watched my woofie brother, Dakota, eating dog food made by Rachael Ray Nutrish. (Dakota has been eating Nutrish since it first arrived on the scene in 2008, LONG before he ever had a blog!) For the past year, I had to endure the agony of watching him do his Sheltie prance around the house, proud that he was (and still IS), one of a number of "Ambassadogs" for Nutrish. In that time, I often wondered, I wondered, so often in fact, that I would MEOW OUT.....
It really upset me. I knew that working with a team of pet nutrition experts, Rachael Ray created Nutrish Super Premium Food and Treats for dogs. BUT WHAT ABOUT CATS????
I KNEW that her food was made with simple, wholesome ingredients like real meat. I even knew, cause I am SMART LIKE THAT, that Nutrish foods were inspired by tasty recipes from Rachael's kitchen. I knew that Nutrish contains no by-products, fillers or junk ingredients, Plus, Rachael's proceeds help animals in need!
Rachael's Rescue was created for all of the forgotten pets-the ones that might not have someone who loves them as much as your humans love YOU! Did you know that proceeds from sales of Nutrish have gone toward food, medical supplies and treatments for animals in need? Rachael Ray wants to help ALL of the animals! Many more shelters need help. Did you know that Rachael's Rescue has donated more than $6 million to pets in need? That's NO SMALL KIBBLE!!!
BE STILL MY HEART!!!!
Good things DO come
to KITTIES WHO WAIT!!!
I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
I can barely contain my excitement!! If I were any more excited I would be spinning and barking like some woofie who will remain unmentioned! I am more refined than that, but let me tell you, MY MOM AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!!

ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSSSSSSS More Nutrish!!!!!! Love, Cody
DeleteYour facial expressions are priceless Cody - good things always come to those who wait. Purrs xxoo
ReplyDeleteThank you my furiend!!!! You are sooo right!!!
DeleteGood for you Cody. I hope you enjoy your new food.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!!!
DeleteYAY Cody! I'm glad Nutrish works for you......they don't have it in either of my grocery stores but maybe at the pet store.....meanwhile what's REALLY exciting is no more hot spots for you! WOO HOO!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Hmmm Sammy, maybe it hasn't gotten to you yet? It came out recently!!! Well, I still get hot spots, just NOT from food!!!!! Love, Cody
DeleteI'm happy to hear you can finally eat "real food" again, Cody. Allergies are so tough to diagnose, it's not surprising that it turned out to be something different than what your vet first thought. I hope in time, your mom can find something that helps with the environmental allergies as well, but at least you'll be eating well while you wait for that cure! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Ingrid! I am happy about it too!!! You got that right! Now I can even eat TREATS too!! Wooooooo hooo! Love, Cody
DeleteFun post. I'll have to try this for my group. Our dog has environmental allergies which we do control but he is happy to be able to eat many different foods. And our kitties, all but Lily, have a variety of tasty morsels to eat. Thanks for sharing your good news. Deb
ReplyDeleteHi Deb and thanks!! Hope you got the coupon!! If your kitties try it, please let me know how they liked it! Would love to hear! Now that we found out that my allergies are environmental like your woofie's, I can eat regular food too!!! Have a great weekend!
DeleteWe'll be looking for that food, Cody. Y'know, the vet thought I had food allergies too, but we figured out awhile ago that my allergies were probably caused by the environment too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Nutrish!
Hi Ernie!! Geeze, maybe it is something in the air here in Michigan??? MOL!! I am sooo glad you are going to look for the food. I think they have it at Meijer (Mom is gonna check Kroger and she is gonna check the link above that says where to pawchase), be sure to get your coupon too!!!! Your pal, Cody oh and PS: if you get it, please be sure to let me know how you like it!
DeleteOh...that was me, Ernie, commenting above.
ReplyDeleteYou crazy kitty, taking over Dakota's blog yesterday!!!! haha!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Hehehe!!!!!! You have a great weekend too!! Love, Cody
DeleteConcats Cody!! Do us proud..... (and we are gonna make mom check this out)
ReplyDeletethank you my furiend!! I will do my best!!!!! So happy you are going to check it out, please drop me a line and let me know what you think of it! Love, Cody
DeleteI've heard that probiotics are excellent for allergies! - Crepes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised you are making the switch, I hope you love it and it works out for you!
ReplyDeletethank you!! I'm one happy kitty!
DeleteOh, that food sounds so delicious, Cody! We are happy that all of your waiting paid off. Enjoy your pawesome new diet!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much my furiend!!!! I am super excited! Love, Cody
DeleteCocatulations Cody on being able to eat nommy food again! That's pawsome.
ReplyDeleteI have a question. You said it has no grain, but it has brown rice. Is brown rice ok for kitties that are going grain free? We had to go grain free cuz Candy gets yucky tummy from grain. Makes for a furry stinky litter box, too.
I'm not a Nutrition expert but I was just reading around to answer your question and corn and rice for humans as well as pets are NOT considered to be "classic" grains: " However, I also want to make sure to clarify that corn is not really considered a grain and is fully allowed on a human celiac diet, as is rice — wheat is the big no-no, as other people who are gluten (grain) intolerant will confirm."
DeleteCongrats on being able to eat non boring food Cody. Love your cute photos.
ReplyDeleteSue B
Thanks so much my furiend!!!!! Love, Cody
DeleteSeems to be a great news for you Cody !
ReplyDeleteEating boring food is ....really boring! Your new one sound really interesting.
I had bad allergy .. no food allergy …lucky me !
Nat à Chat gave me “homeopathie” for that (Poumon histamine), with very good results.
I am allergic to very small bugs that you find here, from August to January, outside, in the grass.
Ronrons
Hisia
Oh my goodness Hisia, I never heard of being allergic to small bugs! I wonder what kind they are? Are you taking a spray? (Poumon histamine) sounds like a spray. Hope you don't get the awful red hot spots like I do! Love, Cody
DeleteThank you for the review; I have seen this advertised in our local Meijer store and I have been wondering about using it for Timmy and Kallie.
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome! Ugh! I was just at Meijer today and forgot to look! Grab the coupon and give it a whirl!!!! If you do, please let me know what your kitties though of it!
DeleteOMC! That is the most exciting news ever! (Both the food and the allergies) Cody, we are so happy for you - years of boring foods, gone! Yay! Now Oui Oui can give you picky lessons. Game on!
ReplyDeleteBwwwah!!! Love it!!! Game on is right!! (I already acted somewhat "picky" with Mom yesterday! MOL!) she thought I was sick cause I wasn't eating with my usual gusto...do you believe she overreacted (surprise, surprise), and called the V-E-T!!?? As soon as I heard "Dr.Smiley" on the phone, I ran into the kitchen and started eating! MOL!!! Thank you so much! Love, Cody
DeleteCody, buddy, we are SO happy for you that you get to eat some new, awesome foods in different flavors...that is terrific! Great post and looks like a great food line...congrats on being an Ambassador too! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteCloon you are such a great pal! THANK YOU!!!!! Thanks so much!!! you have a wonderful weekend too! Love, Cody
DeleteEnjoy the food, sweetie! It looks super yummy! :-) Have a PURRFECT weekend! xxx Roxy & Tigerlino <3
ReplyDeletethanks so much!!!! You have a purrfect weekend too!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxo
DeleteGreat news Cody ! Enjoy your non-boring food ! And concatulations for being now an ambassacat ! Purrs, Zorro
ReplyDeleteThanks my furiend!!!! Love, Cody
DeleteOh boy Ma Rachel's food sounds wonderful for you. We are glad the red dots are not from foodables.
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Thanks so much Lily and Edward! I am sooo happy!!!! I am happy that my "red dots" aren't from food too!!! Love, Cody
DeleteI am just thrilled for you, Cody. You do deserve a spotlight on you - it will be worth the wait, I am sure. The three cats in our house now are all eating the brand of food Russell brought with him. I hope it isn't because they think they will get as big as him!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that fateful day I ran out of cat food and had to wait for the sun to rise to walk to the grocery, I leaned they would refuse and other food but "Russell food". I might see if they will send me a sample. I know enough about their reputation to want to give it a try.
Awwww that is so incredibly sweet of you!!! THANK YOU!!! Oh and click to get a free coupon too!!!! Love, Cody
Deletep.s. Huge congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear, dear furiend!!! xoxo Love, Cody
DeleteConcats Cody on becoming an ambassacat and on being able to have tasty food at last.
ReplyDeleteFlynn thanks so much!!! I am so happy!!! Love, Cody
DeleteCody we are so glad you do not have food allergies and you can eat whatever you'd like. Sounds like you scored BIG!! What a great find and that's terrific!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much my furiend!!!!! I am thrilled! I spent YEARS eating NOTHING but one thing!! Bleccccccccccch!!!!! Thank you!
DeleteGood for you Cody, that really is great news! We have 2 Oreck air purifiers in our house to help keep those allergens at bay, just a thought!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian!! Hmmm...not a bad idea!! Will tell my Mom to keep that in mind!! Thank you!! Love, your pal, Cody
DeleteHooray for you Cody! Now you can feast your eyes and your tummy! :)
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
Yippee! No allergies and an Ambassacat!!
ReplyDeleteWell, close but no cigar!!!!! No FOOD allergies :) I still get allergy flare-ups but they aren't food related as the vet originally thought. Thanks!
DeleteConcatulations on your ambassacatship, Cody!
ReplyDeletethanks so much my furiends!!
DeleteYippee Cody this is the best news Cody!xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteWhaat, we didn't know she made pet food! My secretary has only seen her on TV making food for humans. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteYep! She has had dog food since 2008 and the cat food literally just went on the market in the past month or so :)
DeleteHow exciting that you can now have your pick of food and have been made an Abassacat as well. Enjoy your new noms. Hope whatever has been causing you your hot spots does not come back. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeletethanks my furiends! I hope so too but it probably will. I have flare-ups a few times a year. Love, Cody
DeleteHi Caren & Cody! I need to check this out. One of my cats has a princess and the pea type purrsonality and anything she eats that isn't purrfect comes right back up. Hahah :)
ReplyDeleteWe’re been seeing it in our ShopRite for weeks. TW bought me a can and I licked all the gravy. She says it’s too expensive at .99 a can so it’s gonna be a long time until I see it again. I don’t know what papers the cupon will be in but we liberated the coupon sections in our neighbors’ NY Times and Wall Street Journal and it wasn’t in Smart Source or Red Plum circulars. I hope they actually deliver our Sunday News tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHi CK! .99 /can to me is great (I was paying $1.69 a can for non prescription food).....and prescription food is even higher. I just checked my paper as well it isn't in there. I am wondering if it ran in ROP????? I am going to email "Mission Control" and find out! Thanks!
DeleteCK Hi! Just heard from "Mission Control" in response to my question about the coupons. She said it is in the "Smart Source" coupon grouping. Wasn't in mine either. I am wondering if it was regional and some areas didn't get it. Also, when I used to work at the paper, the guys who put the inserts in often stole coupons (sorry to say), so I am wondering if that could have happened.
DeleteWe love Rachel Ray!
ReplyDeleteNoodle
So do we :) Obviously :)
DeleteGreat news, Cody!
ReplyDeleteAnd you look so handsome in your pics :)
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
