The Cat Connection

Today, June 24, is Cat World Domination Day... an annual celebration honoring the tiny tyrants who have already conquered our homes—and are quietly working on the rest of the world.

They've perfected the art of supervising from the highest shelf, demanding meals precisely meow, claiming every cardboard box as royal property, and convincing us that our laps belong to them. At this point, we're pretty sure we're just the staff.

So how do you honor your favorite furry ruler today?

* Present tribute in the form of extra treats.
* Serve a special meal worthy of feline royalty.
* Surprise them with a new toy fit for a king or queen.
* Book them a spa day so they can look their majestic best.
* Keep those food and water bowls full (their Highness insists).
* Provide plenty of cuddles—when they decide you're worthy.
* Capture their royal poses or hilarious antics and share them with the world!

Don't forget to post your favorite photos and videos using so everyone can witness your cat's growing empire.

Need to stock up on royal supplies? Stop by The Cat Connection or visit us online! We have delicious treats, premium foods, enrichment toys, grooming services, and everything your feline ruler needs to continue their quest for world domination.

Long live the purr... and may your reign as loyal servant continue!

Today is World Digestive Health Day!

Okay… technically this awareness day is for humans, but we all know our feline friends deserve healthy tummies too.

A cat’s digestive health plays a huge role in their overall well-being. A healthy gut can help support energy levels, immune function, nutrient absorption, and even mood. Keeping those tiny tiger tummies happy can help reduce the risk of digestive troubles before they become bigger concerns.

Here are a few easy ways to help support your cat’s digestive health:

🥩 Upgrade Their Diet
High-quality, protein-rich foods —especially wet foods—can help boost hydration and keep digestion moving smoothly. Brands like RAWZ, Ziwi Peak, and Farmina N&D are wonderful options many cats enjoy.

🚩 Watch for Red Flags
Despite the myths, frequent vomiting is NOT normal for cats. Keep an eye out for recurring hairballs, diarrhea, appetite loss, or sudden digestive changes.

🐾 Slow Down Fast Eaters
Puzzle feeders and slow-feed bowls can help prevent gulping and upset stomachs.

🦠 Support the Gut Microbiome
Probiotics and prebiotics may help support healthy digestion and overall wellness for many cats. Brands like Optagest

Looking to spoil your cat’s tummy the healthy way? We carry a variety of cat-approved foods, treats, supplements, probiotics, slow feeders, and enrichment products to help support digestive health and keep those whiskered companions feeling their best. Stop by and let us help you find something your feline will love!

Tell us below — does your cat have a sensitive stomach, inhale their food at lightspeed, or demand the same flavor every single day?
