Remember Your F-e-l-i-n-e: Six Ways You And Your Cat Can Be More Sustainable

For many, its easy to believe that the crucial decisions about our environment lie in the hands of politicians and scientists.

But what about cat owners?

Thats the question of most interest to My Three Cats & Co., an on-line retailer that strives to educate and advance the principles of humane and compassionate pet care. The companys commitment to cat welfare has become almost as famous as its spokespurrson Bogey. Its really a great time to be a cat owner, and maybe even a better time to be a cat, notes Bogey. There are so many products available now that make cat ownership an easy way to help frame ones approach to sustainable living. And all the approaches are great for cats, too.

My Three Cats & Co.s newly published Green Statement formalizes their efforts to provide more green products, and to educate customers about the importance of sustainable cat ownership. Not everything we sell is 100% green, but we really believe that to be green is to be humane, and thats our ultimate goal. says Bogey. By being more conscientious about the products we sell and the habits we develop, we can create better lives for ourselves and those entrusted to us.

To do so, My Three Cats & Co. plans on encouraging customers to focus on specific sustainable habits in a campaign they are calling Remember Your F-E-L-I-N-E:

Food. Specifically, organic food. "Buying organic cat food will not only help to keep your cat healthy and happy, it will help support the organic farmers who don't use chemicals or pesticides in the environment, says Bogey. It's a win-win-win for you, your cats and the environment.

Eco-Toys. Many cat toys are made with plastics and glues that can be tricky to dispose of properly once your cat is done playing with them. MyThreeCats.com sells Rocky Mountain High Catnip Pouches, Mini Minnows, and a host of other natural green items that will entertain your cat while going easy on the environment.

Litter. Teaching your cat to use the toilet might be a stretch, but you can always buy biodegradable cat litter that can be flushed down the toilet. Its made from corn husk and recycled paper and is available in many brands.

Indoors, as in keeping your cat from disturbing the balance of the outdoor environment. As much as your cat might love the outdoors, there is a risk that they might hunt and kill the wildlife of your surrounding neighborhood. To help foster a green and playful environment for the indoors, MyThreeCats.com offers numerous all-natural furniture items to replicate a natural environment.

Neuter or spay your cat. The number of cats born each day far outnumbers the available homes for them to inhabit. Controlling cat overpopulation is crucial to making sure that all cats live in loving environments.

Embrace your local shelter by adopting cats from them, referring future cat owners to their services, and if capable, through donation. Animal shelters are one of the best recyclers, says Bogey. Their cats are just as loving and wonderful as any others.

With their Remember Your F-E-L-I-N-E campaign, MyThreeCats.com hopes to provide cats with more natural household environments and cat owners with an avenue to practice sustainable habits. Everyone learns a lot about themselves by owning a cat, says Bogey. Were hoping that sustainable living is one more lesson that all cat owners can learn.
