Spoiling my Feline Friend with Wilko

The items in this post were kindly gifted by Wilko

Followers of my social media will know that last month my little fluffy companion, Pablo had a pretty rough time of it. What started as a reoccurrence of a longstanding digestive issue resulted in a Friday night dash to the emergency vet, major abdominal surgery (8 inch wound, poor baby!) and a lengthy recovery. Not only did Pablo have to endure the cone of shame for two solid weeks, he also managed to fall off the sofa and give himself an impressive limp. We’ve been back and forth to the vets more times than I care to remember, but he’s on the mend now and full of beans, just in time to pounce on a box of treats from the folks at Wilko.

Wilko has been one of our favourite places to stock up on pet supplies ever since Pablo was a palm-sized bundle of fluff. Everything is so well priced, and good quality and they have a great range of toys and accessories as well as great value food and kitty litter.

Our dining room has now become a dedicated feline play area for Pablo and it’s a joy to see him back to his normal, rambunctious self.

This pop up cube is an absolute bargain at £4.00 and Pablo’s favourite thing ever. He’s always loved tunnels and tubes and this has fast become his new hiding place, “secret” place to stash toys and something to drag around the house. He’ll spend hours in here and all we hear from his is the occasional thud where he’s crashed in to something, and a few growls as he bashes his toys around.
Pablo has an impressive tunnel collection (four at last count) but this £3.25 one from Wilko is the fanciest (and cheapest) one yet. He loves sliding through and batting the ball, and occasionally he’ll lounge in it for a nap.
We’ve been contemplating a new scratching post for a while as the one Pablo had when he was tiny (inherited from Mae) has long seen better days. They all seemed very pricey though, especially as it’s hit or miss whether he’d actually take to a new one. This Wilko cat scratcher post is only £8.00 so not that much of a gamble, and with a couple of toys attached to lure him in this quickly became a hit. Pablo is a big cat and has pulled this over on himself a couple of times but he doesn’t seem too bothered and for a smaller cat it would absolutely perfect.

Our house is absolutely covered in cat toys of all shapes and sizes. Pablo is an indoor cat on vet advice (he has an as yet undiagnosed digestive problem and can’t be trusted not to eat things that he really shouldn’t) so we want to keep him as entertained and stimulated as possible. This is easy thanks to the wide array of affordable cat toys on the market, most notably at the moment from Wilko. There’s a few more products I’m hoping to pick up, and for anyone just starting out with a cat I can’t recommend them enough for getting everything together that you’ll need without breaking the bank.

What is your cat’s favourite toy?

    President Obama has created clear that financial aid for moms is often a sure and
    certain approach to fight poverty. You will need to
    head to school full-time to earn your degree as a Physicians Assistant.
    If you have thought we would study for two hours, you should
    study for two hours anyhow.
