Kitty Kong update

Posted on November 15, 2007 by janine

Well, my attempt at stocking up on Kitty Kong by buying them online didn’t work. My order was accepted and processed, and then about a week later I got an e-mail saying “I am sorry it took so long to get back to you but our stock levels were incorrect and we have run out of this item. The manufacturer has discontinued the item and so we will not be able to fill your order. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and hope that you will be able to find this item.”

Sigh. I know the manufacturer discontinued the item, that was why I was attempting to order five Kitty Kongs. Poor Charley. I have tried to break the news to him but he just keeps chewing on his worn-to-shreds Kong and hopping into an empty cardboard box.

Nooooooooooo!!!

Oh no! I just found out that Kitty Kong has been discontinued!!

I have a hard enough time finding this toy as is, but I went to a pet store that usually stocks it and they were out. When I asked if they had any more Kitty Kongs I was told they were discontinued. This is unfortunate – as Charley, aka “the black and white menace” (among other nicknames), loves to chew on things… very odd for a cat, I know. Charley is an infamous wire-chewer. Kitty Kong is not only his favorite toy, but he is less likely to chew through my cell phone charger, my i-pod charger, my i-book charger, my lamp cord, etc. if he has a Kong around (yes, he has actually chewed through all of the above items – several times, in some instances).

I found some Kitty Kongs online and stocked up. But still, a future with no Kitty Kong?! I tried to call the manufacturer, Kong Veterinary Products, but their number is out of service.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how to convince Kong to start making Kitty Kong again, please let me know!

This is Ben and his cat Nelsa. Ben has had Nelsa for eleven years.

Speaking of eleven year-old cats, did you know that November is “Adopt a Senior Pet” Month? Don’t you want your own Nelsa to cuddle with?

This picture from musicandcats.com is too cute – you can tell that this cat loves his man and this man loves his cat! Just look at those paws wrapped around that arm.

Ow and Aw

Your humble webmistress had all four impacted wisdom teeth removed and is currently attempting to recover – a process that is quite painful and taking longer than expected.

I am always grateful for my man and my cats, but especially during wisdom tooth recovery. The man has been feeding me, looking out for me, making sure I take my medication, and generally cheering me up and being sweet. The cats are absolutely glued to me – even Charley, who is usually attached to my husband. Charley and Thurston can definitely tell I’m not feeling well and are doing their best to cuddle as much as possible – with me and of course, with each other.
