Meet Grayson, Cat of the Week! Grayson is big, he's gray, he's FIV+ and he can put his feet behind his head. We love your style, Grayson!

"What's the most embarrassing thing your human has done to you?"
🐱: Pick me up and kiss my nose - I like head kisses, but the nose was definitely embarrassing.

"If you could have dinner with any famous pet, who would it be and why?"
🐱: Garfield, so we can share some food.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
🐱: A sprinter or track star, I love to run!

"If you could have a superpower what would it be and why?"
🐱: Invisibility, so I could sneak into the hallway when my humans leave without them knowing.

"If you could be any other kind of animal, what would you be?"
🐱: A raccoon, so I can raid trash cans for more food 🗑️

"Who is your best friend?"
🐱: My dad. He often thinks my mom is my best friend, but I definitely love playing with him and spending time with him over anybody else.

"Who is your celebrity doppelgänger?"
🐱: Garfield, if he was gray.

"Do you have any pet quirks?"
🐱: I'm FIV+ and have anxiety. Luckily, I am on some medication that helps me regulate my anxiety, and I am much less aggressive because of it. Usually I only act out when I’m overstimulated, but my humans have done a great job managing my medications and respecting my boundaries.

"Do you have any special talents?"
🐱: I can bring my back leg over my head! It’s such a fun way to play!

"What’s your favorite thing to do with your human(s)?"
🐱: Play with wand toys! I can never have too many. I love running and jumping after them, and rolling around on the living room carpet to catch the toy!

"What is your biggest fear?"
🐱: That I will grow knots in my fur again. I was so uncomfortable when I first adopted because I had so many, and had to be partially shaved. This wasn’t good for my anxiety, but I knew it would make me feel better. Now that new fur has grown in beautifully I want to make sure it stays perfect! My humans are so good at brushing me, and unlike when I was at the shelter, I actually let them do it!

This week's featured cat is a dilute calico named Maple!

"If you could have dinner with any famous pet, who would it be and why?"
🐱: Air Bud because even though I'm a cat, I for sure give off golden retriever energy.

"Who is your celebrity doppelgänger?"
🐱: I’d like to think my mom is my doppelgänger. We may look different, but we both just want love and snuggles!

"Do you have any pet quirks?"
🐱: I am FIV+! Many people think that FIV+ kitties can’t live with other cats but I have two siblings! One is FIV+ just like me, and the other isn’t! Because we all get along and cohabitate without any biting, it’s safe for us to live together. There’s so many misconceptions about FIV and I’m so happy my mom looked past them when adopting me and my siblings!

"Do you have any special talents?"
🐱: I can turn myself into a perfect circle when I sleep.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
🐱: An office chair security guard.

"Who is your best friend?"
🐱: My humans, Carina & Ryan. I always want to snuggle them and help them feel better when they are sick or sad.

"If you could have a superpower what would it be and why?"
🐱: Teleportation, so I’d never have to go in a car for a vet visit again.

"If you could be any other kind of animal, what would you be?"
🐱: A dog.

"What is your favorite thing to do with your human(s)?"
🐱: Cuddle on their chests!

"What is your biggest fear?"
🐱: The outdoors.

"What's the most embarrassing thing your human has done to you?"
🐱: Dress me up in many Halloween costumes & goofy holiday sweaters. She even put SOCKS on me once.

What's the secret to a sparkling doggy smile? Raw bones! They're a natural way to keep your pup's teeth clean and their gums healthy. 🪥

The enzymes in raw, meaty bones not only clean plaque and tartar from your dog's teeth, but also keep their gut healthy. Chewing and licking is a soothing activity that helps exercise their jaws. The physical motion of gnawing helps to scrape teeth clean, and the tendons from the meat works to floss between your dog's teeth.

Do your dogs love chewing on bones? Share your experiences in the comments! 👇
