Raising money for the animals

Posted on July 2, 2015 by Jaime

This month, I’ve decided to donate my earnings from book sales* to local animal charities. For the month of July, for all sales of “Life of a Cat” I will donate $1 toward local charities. There is no limit to how much I will do, just as much as sales will allow.

To buy my book on Amazon, click here: “Life of a Cat”

I will also donate earnings from borrows of my book. If you are a Kindle Unlimited member, or an Amazon Prime member with a Kindle, you can search for Jaime Horio on your Kindle, and borrow the book!

What charities will I be donating to? I will donate to a local animal adoption center, and a low-cost spay and neuter clinic.

Clovis Animal Services – Animal intake and adoption. Check them out at http://clovisanimalservices.org/

HOPE Animal Foundation – Providing low-cost spay and neuter clinics. Check them out at http://www.hopeaf.com/

This will run throughout the month of July. Donation will be made around October 2015, once the return period has passed and Amazon has paid out royalties.

*I will donate $1 toward local animal charities for each copy of “Life of a Cat” sold or borrowed during July 2015, minus any returns.

Woot Mystery Cat Toy Box

Posted on December 23, 2014 by Jaime

A few weeks ago, I bought a “Mystery Cat Toy Box” from Woot (http://home.woot.com/offers/mystery-cat-toy-box-1). I love that Woot has been doing these themed mystery boxes, not quite a Bag of Crap, but there’s still some surprise to it. Anyway, here is what I got in my box!

I opened the box and got….a box!

A box!

OK, I did get some actual stuff! Inside the box that was inside a box:

All kinds of swag!

We ended up with a laser pointer shaped like a dog, a catnip toy (easily their favorite), some plastic dishes, a collar and some stuff you put on cats nails after clipping them. Unfortunately the dishes are too small for the appetites of our cats, so they made it to the local animal shelter.

Obviously at least one of the cats had to come explore. Sweeney saw new stuff and had to check it out.

And of course with all the new stuff, Sweeney ended up in the box. :-/

The best toy of all

That’s a satisfied cat

Dublin is looking like she had a little too much Christmas food!

Bag of Crap + Cat = ?

If you combine enough things that the internet loves, will it cause a black hole? Let’s find out!

Someone over at the Woot forums suggested posting pictures of your bag of crap items on your cat (or cats). Here are three of the items I got from the 3rd day of Crapmas on my three cats Dublin (with the shirt), London (with the book) and Sweeney (with the calendar).
