So it’s only appropriate that July is National Hot Dog Month, proof positive we love to grill and enjoy some fun in a bun. In fact, according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Americans eat 20 billion hot dogs every year!

But while you’re enjoying a dog or two, please remember to keep your cats and other pets cool. Here are some tips to help ensure your pets enjoy a summer—even when the heat is tough to beat!

• Hydrate at a greater rate. Be sure to keep plenty of fresh water available at all times of day. Try to keep the water as cool as possible by placing a bowl in the shade or a cool area. Also, use a bowl that tends to stay cooler like ceramic and plastic bowls. Have a few extra bucks to spend? Grab a self-cooling water bowl such as Cool Lap Bowl or Chilly-A-Bowl.

• Be shady. Try to entice your pets to hang out in the shade by moving their bowls, toys or beds to dark and cool areas. Note: the sun moves throughout the day; so be sure to check to make sure your pet’s repose stays shady.

• Give them a cool “do”. When the sun gets too hot for our longhaired friends, consider grooming and maintenance. We recommend consulting with your vet on specifically how your pet should be groomed or trimmed during the summer to keep them cool.

• Create the perfect place to chill. If you have the time and resources, you can build a temperature-controlled sanctuary for your pet! It’s a big project that should earn a lifetime of licks and purrs of gratitude.

We also recommend checking out these resources:

Cats:
• The Daily Cat, Keep Your Cat Cool This Summer
• WikiHow, How to Cool Your Cat Down in the Summer

Dogs:
• PetPlace, Keeping Your Dog Cool in the Summer
• About.com, Keep Your Dog Cool in the Summer Heat

Enjoy the summer! May your hot dogs be grilling and your cats be chilling. And may you enjoy both … with relish!

Frank-ly yours,
–World’s Best Cat Litter™

With your help and tremendous support we were able to raise 5,255 pounds of litter! That’s comparable to the weight of one rhino, one cow and over two hundred cats (sorry, we are animal people not mathematicians)! Although it is sad to see the first round come to a close, we are happily getting prepared to deliver much needed litter to the three winning organizations below:

A big round of applause and “aww…paws” for these excellent groups! We hope that our litter is a good luck charm to getting all of the cats in these shelters in the homes they deserve.

Good News! The World’s Best Cat Litter™ Charity is coming back into full-swing on September 1! You can sign up to get an email as soon as it launches by visiting this announcement page.

Alright, we’ve got some heavy lifting ahead of us! Thanks again for your heavy duty support!

Happy Fourth of July Everyone! http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/clearing-the-air/2010/07/let-fur-eedom-ring-happy-fourth-of-july-everyone/ http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/clearing-the-air/2010/07/let-fur-eedom-ring-happy-fourth-of-july-everyone/#comments Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:55:42 +0000 World's Best Cat Litter http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/clearing-the-air/?p=466
At World’s Best Cat Litter™, we hold this truth to be self-evident: all cats are created equal. … But for the 4th of July weekend, we unfurl our flag and salute the American Bobtail, American Curl, American Shorthair, American Wirehair, Maine Coon Cat, Oregon Rex and all other breeds originated in the United States—including Selkirk Rex, Savannah, Ragamuffin and Pixie-Bob. (Admittedly, we just like saying, “Pixie-Bob.”)

Like us, cats are endowed with certain unalienable rights. Life. Liberty. And the pursuit of happiness (and a ball of yarn).

Unlike us, however, cats and dogs do not find a lick of happiness in fireworks and loud noises. So before you celebrate our nation’s independence, please consider creating a quiet sanctuary for your pets.

If you’re having fireworks in the yard, PLEASE PUT YOUR PETS INSIDE and check on them often. When frightened by fireworks and loud noises, they may begin to seek the familiarity and comfort of family, driving them to flee … maybe even jumping or burying under fences. And if you’re leaving them alone while you go watch fireworks, put your pets in a quiet room where they can feel safe, in case your neighbors set a few boomers off.

A few precautions can make everybody’s holiday pursuits a little happier … because it’s been our experience that, when pets are frightened by booms, they may go boom-boom where you don’t want it.

Keep ‘em going in the litter. And have a safe and happy 4th of July!

MEW-S-A! MEW-S-A! MEW-S-A!

Today, Jim Davis’ creation is
the world’s most syndicated* comic strip, proving that everyone loves a good dose of daily feline
funnies.

These days, the newspapers feature a clowning clowder of cartoon cats—from leading characters such as Garfield, Heathcliff and Mooch (Mutts) to sensational supporting roles such as Nermal, Chubby Huggs (Get Fuzzy), Peekaboo (A Rose is a Rose) and Shtinky Puddin’ (Mutts).

And Heavens to Murgatroyd, we haven’t even mentioned the great cartoon cats of television and silver screen! Snagglepuss may be a pink mountain lion, but with the dapper collar and cuffs, we figure he’s pretty domesticated. But disqualifying the big cats like Snagglepuss, The Pink Panther and the stuffed tiger Hobbes, we wonder what funnies you fancy.
Here are 10 famous cartoon cats. Which one gets fans of World’s Best Cat Litter™ animated?

Did we leave out your favorite? Drop in with your suggestion—just not off a cliff, please.

Here’s a big ‘ol’ heap of stats for you!

  • 3,080—the total number of pounds raised so far! This number is hopefully old news by now—after all you are going to vote after you read this, right?
  • 1,290—the total number of votes for the three participating organizations.
  • Bizzillion—the total number of happy cats and smiles created from your support! We hope this number continues to grow!

Also, we are excited to introduce “Two for Tuesday”—on every Tuesday until the end of the voting period on July 16, each new and current fan votes will be good for double the donation!
