Start the New Year Off Right:
Keeping Kitty Healthy and Happy

It's the dawning of a new year, and like many people, you may suddenly find yourself with a yen for self-improvement. Sure, there are all the usual outlets -- you could go to the gym or the library; you could quit smoking or eat healthier; you could color-code all of your file folders or alphabetize your CD collection. Or maybe you've been there and done that, and are looking for a more unique path to self-fulfillment this year. In that case, how about helping to make your cat's world a better place?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Keeping the Water Fresh:
A watering fountain is a great way to show your pets just how much you care. Research shows that one of the best ways to improve your pet's health is to get them to drink more water. And the best way to do that is with an Automated Fountain that can provide plenty of fresh water. Our fountains flow continually aerates your pet's water with healthful oxygen as a charcoal filter removes the bad tastes and odors, giving your pet the best possible - and most appealing - way to stay healthy and hydrated!

Watering fountains responds to your pet's need for a continuous supply of water. Re-circulating water with greater exposure to oxygen provides fresh tasting, cool, filtered water and provide pets with a multitude of health benefits. Like humans, pets require water as a vital element for survival. Water constitutes approximately 70% of a cat or dog's body. Encouraging your cat to drink more water helps ensure proper kidney function and may decrease the incidence of crystal formation and urinary disease (FUS).

A Natural Way to Indulge:
Kitty Treats can be referred to as the junk food of the cat world. But used in the right amount and made with the right ingredients, treats can be the life force that bonds you and kitty together. The ingredients in the treats you choose make all the difference in your kitty’s health and happiness. Most brands carried at your local supermarket are filled with dyes and preservatives, which can lead upset their tummy and even contribute to other health issue. But not all treats are unhealthy, below are some of the Cat Connections top treats, paw-picked by our house cats Maggie, Shadow, and Abby.

------------------------------------------------------------------

*Kitty Kaviar*
Maggie’s weakness is Kitty Kaviar, which is an all-natural fish treat for cats of all ages. It is made from dried Bonito filets, carved paper thin, and has no additives, preservatives, or byproducts. Bonito is a schooling fish of the tuna and mackerel family. Kitty Kaviar possesses a strong fish-like aroma, which entices felines. It is 75% protein, 4% ash and 0.95% magnesium, and is an excellent source of taurine (39%). Cats are often unable to synthesize essential nutrients, such as the amino acid taurine, from plant matter. Taurine is used in body growth and tissue repair. Ash and magnesium are both minerals used in the body that are important for bone and tooth structure. One of the benefits of Kitty Kaviar is that it is low in ash and magnesium. Lowering magnesium and ash helps to decrease damage to kidneys and helps to prevent urinary tract diseases. Now available in the larger 1 oz can of Kitty Kaviar.
