Look what we got!

Check it out!  The folks at 1-800-PetMeds generously gave us a $50 credit to try out their site.  Look at what we found there!  Our sweet senior, Sammy, loves laying on our comfy living room furniture.  But because of his arthritis, it's been a while since he has been able to jump up on the sofa, chair, or ottoman without our help.  But thanks to these nifty pet steps, now he can.  As you can see, he figured out how to use them fairly quickly.

Sammy: "That was easy."

Sammy: "I love this ottoman."

Moosey: "Me, too.  I'll just wait here on the steps for my turn on the ottoman."
Shipping was fast; the pet steps arrived just a few days after we placed our order.  We were so excited to find them.  We always thought PetMeds only carried medications, but it turns out they also sell cat treats, food, crates, catnip, pet health supplements, and some toys.  Oh, and of course, pet steps. :)

The nice people there also gave us a $50 credit to buy something for PAWS.  We ordered some Advantage II flea preventative for treating cats who are new to the shelter.  Ordering was easy, and there was quite a selection.  As with the steps, the shipment arrived in just a few days.  Here are PAWS "Showcase Room" cats Anime, Bobby and Junior helping show off the goods. :)

Anime: "I sure hope you're not planning to use this stuff on me."
Junior (L) and Bobby: "The same goes for us ... we're already flea-free."
 Special thanks to Dana, Abby and all the other great people at 1-800-PetMeds.

Have a great day, everybody!

I LOVE the steps! Mommy said she had steps for Admiral and Admiral loved using them for the last three years she was with us. They are wonderful things and I'm so glad you wrote about them.

They were wonderfully generous with you and I am SO grateful they were.

Moosey and Sammy, my mom sure loves you.

Marg said...

That is terrific for Sammy to be able to get on the ottoman again. And we love the picture of Moosey waiting his turn on the ladder. That is just too cute. Good boy Moosey. See I knew you were a good cat.

Daisy said...

That's pawsome. Mom's been thinking of getting steps for Tamir because he has a bit of arthritis.

What a great steps!! I'm so happy Sammy can get on the furniture so easily. Oh I love his smile enjoying the ottoman :-)

Well, that was nice of them. And those steps are so neat.

Pip said...

We are so very happy for Sammy. He has his comfy otter-man back! Sweet idea!

Karl and Oscar said...

Congratulations on your steps! We are so happy that you can get back to snoozing happily on the ottoman!

I'm so glad Sammy can get to the ottoman once again! It's wonderful the things you can get to help sick or elderly pets. When we had Scamp and before he passed, he was having problems jumping up in bed at night so we purchased a pet ramp and I worked with him to walk up it...he was afraid...but he finally got the hang of it and was able to get in bed once more. After he was gone, we kept it and now it's still in my bedroom and Gino uses it every day! Sammy's a cutie! Cute picture of Moosey too!

haopee said...

Brilliant steps, guys. I would never have thought of getting one but seeing that it helps pets with arthritis is good.

Congratulations and more pressies to come.

Huggies and Cheese,

The Chair Speaks said...

Sammy, those stairs are great. We'll try to persuade our human to get or make one for us. Purrs!

Gigi said...

Aw, Moosey! We think Sammy should skooch over a little--plenty of room for two up there!

The Furries of Whisppy said...

How wonderful of PetMeds! We are all still pretty young and agile so there isn't any need for the steps for now. Mommy did consider getting steps for Whisky but she worried that Whisky might trip and fall on her way down.

Gattina said...

That's indeed very practical for old cats ! Sammy looks really happy on "his" ottoman !

pibble said...

How cool! I'm thinking of getting steps for my senior dogs so I don't have to lift them onto the bed anymore.

I love the pics - Sammy is just too cute!

Alley Cats and Angels of North Carolina said...

Oh yay for Sammy. That's great. sometimes the seniors need a little boost.

GLOGIRLY said...

How wonderful is THAT!!!
Sammy, the look of bliss on your cute face is priceless. We're so happy you can easily get up to your soft spot now. ...and PAWS too! That was very generous of 800-Pet-Meds. (...we like to read Daisy's blog there too!)

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

Oh yay for steps! Star is slowing down and having a harder time getting on the bed, she climbs instead of jumping now. We know someday she's going to need a ladder of some kind too.
How cool that pet meds helped you and the shelter kitties out!

Kat said...

Lots of luv

The stairs look perfect, glad Sammy can use them to get to the comfy spots! It was so nice of 1-800-PetMeds to give you the credit for the shelter too. All of the cats are beautiful!

Hilary said...

I love the steps... I wish we knew of them a few months ago.... when Alex stopped being able to jump at the end we moved furniture into the bathroom to create steps for him so he could reach the sink... these would have been perfect!

Purrfect Haven said...

we especially loved the waiting on the steps photo.. Love Helen, Darcy and Bingley xxx

Sasha said...

I can't jump up either nowadays.

Cindy Adkins said...

Such cute pictures of Sammy, Moosey and the shelter cats!! We're so glad Sammy is able to climb on the furniture now, thanks to those nifty steps! How nice of 1-800-PetMeds to do that!
Hugs from Cindy, Buster, Rudy and Sammy
