by | Feb 22, 2023 | Books, Cat Behavior & Care, Contest, Dog Training & Care | 0 comments

Today, I have a fun surprise to share with you… Most times I send these notices out to my newsletter, but this offer (sorta-kinda different for me!) begs sharing widely. I’ve teamed up with 50+ fantastic authors to give away a huge collection of Inspirational Fiction & Non-Fiction books to 2 lucky winners!

INSPIRATIONAL BOOK GIVEAWAY (Ins-PURR-ational?)

Oh, and did I mention the Grand Prize winner gets a BRAND NEW eReader? 😁

In my world, books come with a large dose of furry inspiration. So, the book I’ve included focuses on family relationships of the furry kind. Others in the bundle include spiritual growth, emotional health and well-being, or even some uplifting fiction stories.

You can win my nonfiction book DOES MY CAT HATE ME, plus books from authors like CHRIS MORRIS and SKIP JOHNSON.

Enter the giveaway by clicking here 👉 https://www.booksweeps.com/giveaway/february23-win-a-bundle-of-inspirational-fiction-non-fiction/

THE INSPIRATIONAL BOOK CONTEST ENDS MARCH 1st so enter soon. Good luck and enjoy!

NAME THAT DOG & NAME THAT CAT CONTEST (Coming Soon!)

Those who read my pet-centric thrillers know that with each book, I hold a contest to NAME a hero cat and dog as characters in the story. My latest book DARE OR DIE, the 7th in the series, answers a lot of vexing questions about the main character. She carries the story, along with her PTSD service dog, Shadow, and trained Maine Coon cat Macy.

This story also features at least one (1) heroic dog and one (1) heroic feline. Soon, I will open up nominations to folks on my newsletter list, so they can share suggestions about their special animal companions and why (and how) they should win one of these featured roles. Who knows, I may get so many GREAT ideas that I add pet characters! Once my subscribers have submitted nominated names, I’ll post the top contenders here on the blog for everyone to vote, along with details about the upcoming book.

The winners not only have their cat or dog featured as a character in the book, they also get an advanced Ecopy of the book, and a paw-tographed print book when it releases–oh, and bragging rights! They get named in the FACT OR FICTION back matter of the book, too. In fact, some previous winners remain in future stories. (“Macy” the Maine Coon was a past winner, for instance.)

SUBSCRIBE OPTIONS

So if YOU have a special cat or dog (or both!) that deserves to win the featured hero pet role in DARE OR DIE, if you haven’t already done so, please subscribe ASAP to the thriller newsletter on this page. You can also subscribe to the cat and dog nonfiction newsletter, which also gets news about the fiction.

National Adopt a Dog Month: Top 6 Popular Puppy Posts

It’s NATIONAL ADOPT A DOG MONTH! How will you spend your celebration? Wait, your dog didn’t tell you? Well, for Shadow, it’s “dog week” every week of the year, but the “official” celebration takes place the 4th week of September every year — and has been celebrated since the first event in 1928. But October celebrates dog adoptions all month long. Check out my most popular dog-centric blogs in this post.

BITE Prevention for Halloween: 9 Ways to Keep Fangs At Bay

Have you thought about dog bite Halloween safety? and I’m not talking about vampires, either. Many dogs enjoy the howl-idays. But dogs biting kids happens more often at this time of year than any other.

This is a timely subject so I try to revisit the information every year. I write about this every year because it’s so darned important. With Halloween in the offing, this is the perfect time to brush up on dog safety issues and protect your kids, too.

To give equal time, there are many kitty-centric Halloween myth-teries you’ll find fascinating, especially about black cats.

While nonstop doorbell rings and visitors showering attention may be doggy bliss for your pet, even friendly laid back pooches get their tails in a twist over the disruption to routine. That can be dangerous for the pet—and for the human. Learn more about dog bites and kid safety here…

Black Cat Appreciation Day & Halloween Black Cats

August 17 is Black Cat Appreciation Day to counter the Halloween black cat negative myths. Of course, those folks who share their lives (and pillows!) with a special black cat know better. Sadly, too many black cats remain in shelters rather than being adopted.

In fact, some evidence supports the notion that black cats (one of the first “mutations” of wild coat color), enhanced what I call the feline friendly factor. Black cats often seem to be much more agreeable and love spending time with their chosen human. Maybe that’s why so many of the so-called witches were associated with black kitties.

People have more difficulty picking cats because they assume all felines are the same. And because usually, cats pick us.

Halloween Pets Safety: Protect Pets from Halloween Goblins

Halloween pet safety is needed every year. Halloween at its best is a night of mystery, fun, and thrills for human children and many adults. It’s important to keep your human kiddoes safe with these tips, but no less important for the pets. I write about Halloween pets safety every year because it can be a nightmare for your furry kids.

Halloween Pet Costumes: How to Dress Dogs in Costumes

Do you enjoy dressing up the house—and yourself—for the holidays? If you want to include Halloween pet costumes, start now to get them used to the notion. Most of the costumes don’t fit Bravo-Dawg, and I’ve not yet tried Shadow-Pup. I’ll share pictures if/when that happens.

Meanwhile, be sure to keep pets safe over Halloween, though. Dogs and cats aren’t always fans of wearing Halloween costumes, but with these tips, you can help pets accept the notion.

Halloween Pet Costumes

Some pets enjoy dressing up, particularly the small dogs already used to wearing coats and sweaters in cool weather. There are many pet costumes available from pet products stores, from fancy to plain. If your outgoing, confident pet is willing, you can have great fun with costumes. But if your pets don’t care for dress up, don’t press it. Many pets may bite over Halloween out of fear of change.

Even reluctant pets may be persuaded to wear a fancy collar or bandana or painted toenails.

Celebrating Old Cats: What Is Old?

Every year, I write about our old cat needs. While Karma-Kat has just reached middle age, cats age at different rates. When do you consider your cat old? Is your old cat a senior kitty by age 8, or 13, or…when? For cats, what is old? Here’s how the experts define ‘old age’ in cats…
