You might think that your choice of buying from a breeder (or pet shop) has little to no impact, but it can actually make a HUGE difference!

Julie Castle, the CEO of ‘Best Friends Animals Society’ recently came out and said:

“𝙄𝙛 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 6% 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙥𝙩 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙪𝙨 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙨, 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙤𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣’𝙨 [𝙐𝙎] 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨.”

While a huge part of reducing the suffering of stray animals involves promoting responsible pet ownership as well as supporting mass neutering and spaying programs…

…by choosing to adopt rather than than buy a pet, you can make a significant difference in ending unnecessary euthanasia of cats and dogs🥹

Please consider adopting a pet 🙏❤️

Didn’t quite expect it to end like that though 😅

Both the cats and we were really pleased with the result of this little clean up! Especially helpful was the cordless water fountain from @oneisall_official .

We’ve got a couple of cord chewers in the house, so not having wires around is already a win! But the real perk is being able to move it wherever we need it - whether we use it inside or outside!

It’s super quiet, easy to clean, and honestly just makes water access way simpler. The cats started using it right away, which is always a good sign.

If you’re thinking of upgrading, there’s 10% off for Prime Day (July 8–11) ☺️

What coat patterns do your cats have?😄

Btw, it was surprisingly much fun to do research for this video - so if you haven’t looked up the official names of your cats’ pattern, I highly recommend it!

Don’t judge a book by its cover 🐾

While some street cats are too unsocialized or scared of humans to connect, many are actually incredibly gentle - and just quietly longing for a bit of love ❤️

Whenever we can, we like to gently reach out a finger to offer a little affection to any cat we pass by, because you never know who might be ready to accept the invitation ☺️

Who does this as well?😄🙋‍♂️

OUR FULL TRAINING METHOD ⤵

Getting your cat into a carrier shouldn’t feel like a battle.

No more stressful chases.

No more guilty feelings when you finally manage to shove them in.

No more panicked meowing the whole way to the vet.

That’s why we spent time training our cats to walk into the carrier willingly - on command. And as you saw in the reel, it’s completely possible!

But here’s the thing…

🐾 Teaching your cat to walk into the carrier is just ONE of the many ways training can make life easier and more enjoyable for both of you.

With training, you can also teach your cat to…

💊 Take pills and medication voluntarily

🛁 Happily accept grooming routines

✂️ Politely extend their paws for nail trims

And honestly… that’s just the beginning.

At first, we thought training would only help with practical things.

But what we didn’t expect was how much it would strengthen our bond and enrich our cats’ lives!

Because when we started training, we noticed something incredible…

🐾 Our cats became more engaged with us.

✨ They started running to us eagerly when it was time for a session.

💞 And over time, training became the highlight of our day, too.

Suddenly, training wasn’t just about solving small challenges - it was about deepening our connection and providing them with mental stimulation as well.

And the best part? It only takes a few minutes a day.

That’s exactly why we created the FREE Cat Training Kick-Start Challenge!🎉

During this event, we’ll walk you through the first steps of training your cat - so you can teach them fun tricks and skills while also laying a foundation for practical training like carrier training, cooperative care, and more!

Join us before the challenge starts!

That moment when your cat looks at you with complete trust🥹

If you’re anything like us, your cats aren’t just pets.

They’re your best friends.
Your little shadows.
Your furry soulmates.

There’s just so much to love about them…

✨ The way they greet you when you come home.
✨ The soft purrs when they curl up beside you.
✨ The little moments that make your heart melt.

We’ve always felt close to our cats… but when we stumbled upon training, something shifted.

It became this shared language where we understood them better, and they understood us.

The little moments of eye contact.
The way they light up when they “get it.”
The excitement they show before each session 😻

It turns out, training isn’t just about teaching tricks.

It’s about spending intentional, meaningful time together in a way that both you and your cat enjoy.

If you’ve ever wanted to find a new, fun way to engage with your cat…

Our free Cat Training Kick-Start Challenge is the perfect place to start!🫶
