The Crazy Cat Crawl
Get ready, cat lovers, because the Friendship Animal Protective League is throwing the purr-fect event in Vermilion, Ohio. On October 26, the downtown area will transform into a feline frenzy with the first-ever Crazy Cat Crawl. This unique event is essentially a scavenger hunt where ticket holders "rescue" as many collectible cats as possible while enjoying cat-themed goodies from local vendors and specialty drinks from participating bars.
Participants will have the chance to win prizes, grab pins and buttons, and snag some paw-sitively adorable cat-themed merch. The day of kitty fun wraps up at the Vermilion Boat Club with games, raffle baskets, and of course, more food and drinksābecause whatās a cat crawl without a good feast? This event is only open to humans 21 and older, and with just 150 spots available, itās a cat-tastic way to mingle with fellow feline fanatics and celebrate all things whiskered. So grab your tickets and get ready for a day filled with feline fun.
Removing Kitty Odors
If your house smells a bit too much like it belongs to your cat, donāt panic. There are plenty of ways to freshen things up. From frequent vacuuming to investing in air purifiers, tackling that unique "eau de feline" doesnāt have to be a monumental task. Dusting high surfaces and keeping your catās litter box in check can also go a long way in clearing the air.
For the more persistent scents, enzyme cleaners are your best friend. They break down those tricky urine spots that like to hang around, even after you think youāve cleaned them. And while youāre at it, treat your kitty to some extra grooming because itās a win-win for both your nose and their coat. Remember, a happy, well-groomed cat equals a fresher-smelling home, and keeping up with little tasks will make everyone breathe a little easier.
This New Toilet Paper Just Might Save the Planet
Every 24 hours, 27,000 trees are cut down to make toilet paper. To us, that feels like way too many ā and Honeycomb agrees. Thatās why this small, female-founded brand created luxury, 3-ply toilet tissue made from bamboo. It feels just like regular high-end toilet paper but doesnāt harm trees.
So why bamboo? Itās the fastest-growing plant in the world ā growing 100 times faster than the average tree ā which means thousands of rolls can be produced in the time it takes for a single tree to grow back.
Even better? Code PURR30 will give new customers 30% off their first order for the next 24 hours.
Thank you to Honeycomb for sponsoring Daily Purr.
What is the Cat Distribution System?
When a tiny orange kitten decided to crash Matt Ramseyās workday, it wasnāt just a random encounterāit was the universeās quirky way of saying, "Congrats, youāve been chosen!" Ramsey, a self-proclaimed dog person, was initiated into the mysterious Cat Distribution System. This cosmic phenomenon, according to internet lore, randomly bestows cats upon unsuspecting humans that have been deemed worthy. Ramsey dubbed the kitten Dandruff after she made herself at home on his shoulders, and just like that, his life was flipped upside down by a fluffy little ball of chaos.
The CDS may sound like a meme (and it totally is), but for Ramsey, it became all too real as he stocked up on cat essentials and navigated the joys of flying litter and shoulder snuggles. However, shelter experts urge caution when adopting stray cats, noting that some felines might already have a loving home. But for Ramsey, the decision was clear. Dandruff had chosen him, and now sheās living her best life with all the wet food and playtime she can handle. As for Ramsey? Well, heās learning that even a dog person can be won over by the whims of the cat distribution system.
