Hill’s Ideal Balance – Gourmet Cat Food #Giveaway

Written by Rachel Phelps

My brother and sister cats are so demanding!  Yes, I just wrote that.  I guess now I need to watch my tail … I have a feeling I am getting scratched soon … hehehe.  Anyway, let me tell you about a typical morning in our house.

Elvis and I have to take turns sleeping in the rents bed (ok, there was a dog jealously issue years ago that created this silly rule … but back to the story).  The cats on the other hand, get to sleep in the bed every night.  They are bed hogs and push us dogs down to the foot of the bed every night.  If we say no, that we are not going to move, the claws come out and we quickly retreat.

Then, at the crack of dawn, they actually have the nerve to wake up the rents demanding breakfast!  My cat brother Pibb climbs all over their heads and paws at them.  My cat sister Pepper starts meowing!  Now if we dogs were to even think of barking in the morning, Mom and Dad would get mad and banish us from the bedroom.  But does that happen to the cats?? … Never!  The rents actually get up to go and feed them and many times go back to bed.  It is just unbelievable.  We have a double standard in our house, that is for sure.

I asked Mom why they get away with this.  She said cats are grazers by nature so they need to eat more often than us dogs to stay healthy and happy.  She also said the cats must really like their food to wake us up every morning.

So I decided to ask my pals at Hills about their new Ideal Balance cat food and if it was good for my grazing cats.  They said that their new line of cat food has products for breakfast, nibbles, treats, and supper.  My land, I want to be a cat and eat four or five times a day!  I got online and picked out the perfect day of meals for Pepper and Pibb.  Here is what I picked:

Maybe my cats will appreciate me more after designing this great menu for them.  Maybe they will even let me sleep in the middle of the bed tonight.  Well, I know that will never happen … but a dog can hope can’t he?

When I shared my menu with my pals at Hill’s, they told me I was quite the meal planner.  Then they said, “What if we gave TWENTY of your readers a cat gift basket filled with some of your menu items?”  I said sure!  I bet my readers would love to try out the new food.

The Ideal Balance Cat Gift basket includes:

  • Hill’s Ideal Balance Grain-Free Natural Chicken & Potato Recipe Adult – 2 lb bag
