The neatest thing happened to me over the weekend. As some of you know, I got my little half-Siamese kitten Thursday. It was a bit of a surprise- earlier this week, a friend had directed me to a classified ad advertising some kittens. The next thing I know, I’m driving out on Thursday to pick up my kitten. She’s a lovely little thing; we’ve named her Olivia (Livvy, for short).
Well, today the FedEx man walked up to my door and dropped off a box. Guess what it was? A brand new cat carrier! With a few bottles of Febreze samples! And one of them is the new Febreze Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator! I flipped! It’s pretty obvious that Livvy loves her new carrier, too.


This package was PERFECT timing! And I think that the Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator is going to be my new best friend, and an important piece of equipment along with the pooper-scooper and bag of catnip. 😀
I have a very sensitive nose and the smell of cat litter makes it wrinkle. I am nuts about Febreze (I always get pre-owned furniture and it is always stinky- so I have loads of Febreze around the house) because it smells so good and works on fabrics (Lysol makes me gag, ick). The pet odor eliminator has a really fresh scent and it won’t make Livvy’s little nose curl, either. One pump on the nozzle and you’re good. It’s a great product.
The Febreze To Go is a new product in the line of Febreze stuff. I keep it in my minivan. My husband is a mailman and uses our van to deliver mail, so… during the summer the van gets REALLY stinky (sorry, honey). I like this little bottle because now I can tuck it in the glovebox instead of having that big bottle of Febreze that rolls and clunks around inside the van while we drive.
So if you have a cat or a dog or a sweaty husband (hee), you might want to give Febreze a try. It has helped me out of the stinkiest situations. And now that I have an indoor cat with a litter box in the house, I’m sure it will be worth its weight in gold. 😀



Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

What a cutie!
I do not know what I would do without my Febreeze. And the POE is amazing and a definite must have in my house.

What a cute little carrier - I love looking at pictures of Livvie!
I’ve always liked the smell of Febreze, too …

Seeing your kittie put tears in my eyes. We had a cat who looked exactly like her when he was a kitten. He grew up to have be more grey than white, and unfortunately had to be put to sleep for health reasons. Even weirder? His name was Oliver…I’m not kdding! You can see a picture of him at http://mykidsaremyworld.blogspot.com/2008/04/my-baby.html

I had no idea fabreze made a pet odor one. I am always bothered about the cat litter box. I have two kitties, so its a constant battle to keep the smell at bay.
I am going to try it out.
Livvy is so cute!
