Trina When I think of my pets, current and past, I smile over the places I have uniquely kissed each of them. I still feel against my lips the fur of those that have left this life. I can still see and feel their responses to my loving pecks placed upon them. Beside my bed, framed on the wall, is a drawing I composed of my cat Forest’s nose, cheeks and lips. I see it when I go to sleep and when I wake, just as I see his real pink nose beside my pillow as he sleeps beside my head. I kiss him on this pink nose, and he pushes it against my lips wanting more. That wet nose and his cheeks just besi ..read more

Trina One afternoon, several years ago my cat Captain Jack Sparrow was with me in my backyard. He strolled up to a glazed flower pot saucer filled with water and started drinking. The saucer was perched up on a concrete stepping stone at the corner of my patio. Birds took baths in the water, squirrels drank the water and so did Jack. I joked with him that the water must have tasted like birdie feet, thus his attraction to it. He would walk away proudly with drops of water hanging from his chin fur. Jack was happy drinking like a lion in the wild. Because that saucer of water pleased him, I ke ..read more

Trina Visitors to my kitchen are greeted by a small litter box close to the stove, snug against a cupboard and partially seated on an area rug. The low-sided $18 litter box was confiscated by my cat, Forest the moment I unpacked it from a cardboard shipping box. Forest was like a magnet to a refrigerator, planting his fluffy bottom in the pan that I specifically bought for my 20-year-old cat, Joan. Joan has arthritis and I felt this KittyGoHere Senior Cat Litter Box would be easier for her to access. Forest never sleeps in cat beds and he rarely lounges in a cardboard box. He is known for lyi ..read more

Trina Ricky Gervais is known for his comedy and his brutal honesty, so when he spontaneously recommended Little Hearts, a cat treat product made by Vet’s Kitchen, the brand were thrilled. Although Ricky’s colourful attempts to create a new tagline may split opinion, the pet food brand agreed with him that “people would rather have honest advertising”*. So instead of using professional copywriters for their advertising plans, they have scrapped the clever puns, soft-sell and complicated wording and instead will be asking customers to feature using their own words. The campaign will start with ..read more
