Long Time, No See!
Hello to all of you, Margarita and Gabriel here. It’s been a
while since we put out a newsletter. After you hear how
we've been enjoying ourselves outdoors hopefully you will
understand why. We have been very busy this summer. On
our twice daily supervised walk in the park and boulevard
alongside THE CAT HOUSE we discovered MICE! We
became very involved (some use the word obsessed) with
hunting them - successfully getting 38. We were featured
recently on Global News for our great mouse hunting skills.
We would like to give a big Thank You to Gil Tucker for
coming to see us and to loyal customer Valerie Nemeth for
telling him all about us. You can see the story at:
Global TV.
Anyone who mentions this story or newsletter gets two free
mice, one from each of us. (Don’t worry, they aren’t real
ones.)
Halloween
Come check out some cute outfits to dress your kitty up for Halloween
such as our Caped Crusader costume. Your cat can be a debonair
duke for this year’s festivities. We also carry hats and other fun
clothes to dress them up in. Remember, to dress a cat up properly,
you need to get really creative.
THE CAT HOUSE also carries some great Halloween cat items to
decorate your house with.

It's show time again. Here's your chance to see over 100 show cats of

New Toys
We have some wonderful new toys in from Nekochan called Neko
Flies. These are wand toys that come with several different
attachments for hours of playful fun. These are excellent interactive
toys that your cats will love to chase, swat and pounce on. Each kit
comes with a wand and an attachment and you can buy other
attachments separately.
Each hand-crafted toy mimics life-like prey movements when you
use them. This will appeal to your cats hunting instinct and create
hours of bonding fun. They are durable, safe and got THE CAT
HOUSE stamp of approval when Margarita couldn’t destroy one of
them despite hours of trying. Mom is so impressed with these toys
she even sent a glowing review to the creator telling them how just
about everyone who buys one of these toys comes back to buy
another one. Customers want their cats to experience the different
types of attachments, and they're purchasing them as gifts for other
cats.
Cooler Weather Coming
As the weather turns colder our thoughts go out the stray cats living outside.
Please remember that the temperature outdoors could plummet any day. If you are
aware of any homeless or feral cats please do what you can to get them some
sustenance and shelter. If you would like a list of the local rescue organizations,
contact us, and we will gladly send it to you. It is important to watch out for each
other.
Time to Go
Well, it’s time for us to go. We are off to catch a few more mice,
or some more snuggles. We hope to talk to you again real soon.
You should come by the store and visit us sometime.
