Yesterday on #10CK, I told you about a new whisker-friendly cat food bowl; today I’m gonna help you fill it up. I’m celebrating my 10th Gotcha Day with some pawsome giveaways, provided by some pawsome sponsors. My 10th Gotcha Day is January 29 so make sure to keep those cards and gifts coming.
May 11, 2013, will forever be known as the day this little ghetto kitteh first tried Taste of the Wild kibble. I’d won a magnet from Mariodacat at #Chilipawty. In jest, I told him I already had a Mario magnet so he sent me a pawsome care package. In the package, he included a sample package of Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain kibble. In 2005, I wasn’t even dreaming that someday I’d be eating healthy “hippie” food. We now join Part 5 of my Gotcha story.
I was in the car with another towel over me and I was once again screaming the songs of my people. The woman kept trying to reassure us that we were safe. She said she was taking us cats to a place called Hillsborough that seemed to be a coupla hunnert miles away. We drove and drove and I wailed and wailed.
When we finally got there, I thought I recognized some familiar faces but I wasn’t sure. It seemed like months since I’d seen any of the Alleys. Mahalo finally spoke up. “I is glad youse safe. We didn’t know where youse disappeared too.” “Where’s Tuna?” I managed to rasp though my voice was hoarse from screaming all through the long ride.
“Heh heh,” Mahalo laughed. “Did youse really tink bars could hold Tuna? He busted outta that place. As soon as they opened his carrier at the evil-smelling place, he was gone like a shot. Hoinia picked him up and drove him back to da hood.”
“But what about you?” I axed. “I’ll be singing falsetto now,” Mahalo said. “don’t worry about this place. Dey feed you pretty good and pretty regularly. At night they let us outta da cages so we should start tinking of an escape route."
A different woman came in and looked at me. “You’re a pretty little kitten. We’ll call you Kittee,” she announced. “After you eat and calm down, we’ll get some photos to put online. How does that sound?” I didn’t know what photos were so I hissed at her.
That was October, 2005. My mug shot went up on the interwebs. Was anyone really gonna see it and spring me?
#10CK Giveaway #5
Disclaimer: Chewy.com is sponsoring today’s giveaway. I received no compensation in return for this post.
Right now, the feral cats are enjoying both Taste of the Wild kibble and wet food. I’ll bet it’s the first healthy food they’ve ever eaten. Now you can try it too. Chewy.com has generously agreed as part of #10CK to send a 5-lb bag of Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain dry cat food with real roasted venison and smoked salmon to one of my readers. This was the first grain-free food I’d ever tried. In addition, it contains probiotics, antioxidants and omega fatty acids cos you know how CK likes shiny, healthy furs.

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Tuna escaped Death Row, prayers to Bastet he and all your former hood mates are safe and fed wherever they are.
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty sure we know what happened when your mug shot went all over the interwebs but we can't wait to find out if we're right!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what happened when your mug shot was sprung!
ReplyDeleteThat really is some story CK, I can almost hear you belting it out!
ReplyDeleteHow Exciting,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteCK your rescue story is really well done...you know more than I do. Wish I knew if I was living wild when I was loaded up and dropped at the kill shelter. And I can only eat prescription dry, but I am entering to donate the food if I win. Paw pays, your BFGF
ReplyDeleteWe are really enjoying reading your rescue story!
ReplyDeletei would love this to donate to safe haven cat shelter and clinc for their pet food bank, thank you
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading your story! Glad to find out what happened to Tuna.
ReplyDeleteWe missed part 4 of your story somehow, so we will have the Mom go back and read it to us. The foods sound yummy, but we can't eat fishes, so if we win, we will donate it to a local kitty rescue. Those kitties could use some healthy noms! :)
ReplyDeleteYikes! Have we created a monster with that care package? M was always going to go back and get me some. But has she? NO!!!! Happy Gotcha Day sweetie. We sure are happy you were gotted by your humans. Life wouldn't be the same if we didn't have CK in it.
ReplyDeleteLove reading about your "Gotcha" day!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying reading your story, CK. You sure are a master storyteller!
ReplyDeleteOur kitties (even Ginger) would love to try this kibble!
ReplyDeleteOh your story is getting more and more intriguing!
Thanks for the giveaway! I'm going to be changing my boy's food to a better food and this sounds like just the thing that I need to change him too. Again thanks for the giveaway.

Kittee is not a name that suits you CK. Not at all
ReplyDeleteYou are having great giveaways CK. I am glad Tuna escaped from the death place and hope things turned out okay for him.
ReplyDeleteThis is a food Mudpie hasn't tried, and like you, she loves her kibble! (Hey, I saw a Russian Blue kitty available for adoption at PetSmart today!!!)
ReplyDeleteThis food does sound good but I'm still hung up on my Beef flavoured FF. I can't wait for tomorrow's story. Did you actually break free from kitty prison? MOL
ReplyDeleteShoko
Sharing for you CK
ReplyDeleteWe remember trying this food a while back and liking it. But then we forgot all about it. It would be fun to try it again.
ReplyDeleteCK, your story is awesome. We love hearing the details about how you were gotcha'd!
ReplyDeleteYou tell a captivating story CK. I don't eat kibble very quickly either so my mom stores it in the refrigerator so it stays fresh longer.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are finally somewhere safe in your story, CK. Mom doesn't let us have dry food so if I win, I will donate the prize to A-Pal Humane Society. I know those kitties will appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteIt's all rather too exciting, CK! Do we find out what happened to Tuna?? We are entering the giveaway and if we win we will donate to Marg :) xx
ReplyDeleteAllie: Well if someone called me Kittee, I'd hiss, too, CK!
