I get e-mail....
I was among those approached to host a contest that would do several things:
Promote this blog, promote the blogs of others, and promote a Cat food brand with ties to a popular book series, and their websites....
The hope being that it would be a Win/Win, for everone. ;-D
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul invites readers of Meowsings of An Opinionated Pussycat, who are Cat Bloggers, and/or Humans who Blog about Cats, or any Humans with Cats who don't blog at all, to participate in a contest to win a Cat “goody bag” including pet food samples.
As summer continues, I’m sure many of your readers are spending time on the vacation with their families and pets enjoying quality time together.
Chicken Soup would love to hear (1) readers travel stories with their cats and (2) tips on how they handle taking care of their pets on the road, or care for them while away.
Prize: A Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul pet “goody bag” for the winner that I choose ( Cat food and toy mice! ).
***Open to US Residents only***
Please leave a comment...identified as "Contest Entry", and don't forget to fill out the e-mail, and Website URL, portions of the Comment Form, so I can contact the winner, and get the info needed to send them their prize.
The contest begins 1201am PST Monday, August 23rd, and ends at 1159pm PST Saturday, August 28th...and the winner will be announced on Friday Sept. 3rd, and will have 3 days to respond or a new winner will be chosen.
In my book anyone who contributes is a winner, but I can only choose one (I think Daddy is gonna have either Elvira, or I pick a folded piece of paper, with a name on it, up off the floor!), so that's that! ;-D
As anyone who has checked out my sidebar knows I have read, and recommend, the Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul book, and Daddy owns a copy of the Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul book, which he recommends on HIS blog.
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul Brand Pet Food has a website that is devoted to Dog, and Cat Food, Cat and Kitten care, a Vet Notes section, and more, including a month old Blog that shows some potential for the future.
They also have a presense on Facebook (If you enjoy their effort "Like" them, and spread the word!), and on Twitter (If you like their Tweets then follow them!), so check them out in between your Naps, Snoozes, Play Times, Strolls, Blogging, Meal Times, and Trips to the Litter Box! ;-D
Because I did not want to do this without having tried a can of their Adult Food, Daddy bought a can that I tested, and found quite tasty (I won't say which flavor, so as to remain impartial, and fair, to all the flavors!).
But what do I know?
I rarely eat Wet Food! ;-D
****UPDATE - 8/27****
Jan's Funny Farm is also holding the contest, and there's still time to enter at her place, too!

Well, first off we want to say we LOVE the Chicken Soup Cat & Dog Food wet & dry. Mommy has to make a special trip to buy it cause the T & N Feed Store is the only place that carries it around here.
The humans don't do much traveling and when they do they don't generally take us with them as except for the dog.
We don't care for riding in cars, but we goes with them to Grandma & Grandpa's if we has to evacuate for hurricanes.
To make the trip more pleasant for us Daddy lays the back seat down in his truck, and puts our litterbox back there, and opens the doors to our PTU's so we can come out if we wish.
Socks usually just stays in his PTU and sleeps. Scylla likes looking out the windows. Artemisia is a big fan of playing so she plays with the toys Daddy has for us in the back. We send the dog in the car with Mommy.
Once we get there Mommy & Daddy set our litterbox, food and water up in the laundry room. It's huge and we has lots of places to hide in there cause the Grandparents are pack rats.
We has to stay in there cause the Grandparents don't let animals in their house (Mommy got us in that one room in the house by saying she wouldn't evacuate if we couldn't come too, and stay in the house), but Mommy sneaks us out sometimes.
The dog has to stay outside in a doghouse and fenced in yard.

I haven't tried that food before, but mom is always trying to find me something that I would like and its good for me.
I don't travel with my mom and I don't like to leave my house to be boarded, so I have my own private pet sitter that comes to check on me.
Once, when mom was out of town, a tremendous storm came up and my pet sitter stayed overnight on the couch so I wouldn't be afraid.
I think she's a pretty special lady.
