Day in the Life of Ghost || Southeast by Midwest #ad #sponsored #FreeandCleanLiving #tidycats #collectivebias

In a post a few weeks back I shared an image of Ghost getting in the way while I was trying to take a photo for the blog and a lot of people loved it. Today I am going to a job interview to be a tutor at the community college I just graduated from and in a few weeks I go to early registration for my Bachelor’s Degree. I thought it would be fun during this stressing time to share a post that follows a day in the life of Ghost. We’ll follow her while she eats her Purina Friskies dry food, Purina Friskies wet food, her Purina® New TIDY CATS® Free & Clean™ Unscented Clumping Litter, while she lounges, while she plays, and of course while she steals the limelight while I’m trying to take photos *glares*.

Day in the Life of Ghost: Waking Up

So of course the first thing we do in the morning is wake up and snuggle. First thing in the morning snuggles are the best snuggles. I should mention that the Hubs gets up about an hour before I do so that he can get Harry the Bearded Dragon woken up and started to warm up and this is actually when Ghost jumps up into the bed and snuggles up to get a little more sleep. When I finally start to budge awake she comes up and and starts nuzzling against my face and it really is one of the best things to wake up to!

Day in the Life of Ghost: Breakfast

After I’ve gotten up and went and checked on Harry the Hubs will come back in and give Ghost her breakfast. We leave a bowl of dry food up at all times but she gets a partial can of wet food in the morning and evening. Even though she has access to the dry food at all times her meowing for her wet food in the morning is adorable. You know she’s not starving because she has the dry food available, that she loves by the way, and she’ll only eat a few bites before going and jumping back on the bed but it’s a ritual they started doing and she LOVES it.

Day in the Life of Ghost: Lounging

Then comes the most well known cat activity, lounging…and Ghost is a master. She’ll lounge on a cushion from an old couch that we put down for her in front of the window, she’ll lounge on the bed, she’ll lounge on the Hub’s computer sleeve, she’ll lounge in her cat tree, she’ll lounge inside the blanket where you won’t know she is and when you go to check on her and she’s no where to be found you accidentally plop her onto the bed (no I don’t know this from experience, why do you ask??), heck she’ll even just lounge in the middle of the floor. When you go in to check on her she’ll give you so much shade UNLESS you go towards the bed and she thinks snuggles are to be had!

Day in the Life of Ghost: Playing

Day in the Life of Ghost Playing || Southeast by Midwest #ad #sponsored #FreeandCleanLiving #tidycats #collectivebias

One of the things she likes to do during the day is play with toys, but I’ve noticed this is only when we’re in the room. She’ll roll around with toys, she’ll roll around with the Hub’s pens…and as we all know she likes to roll around with lip glosses that I’m trying to photograph…

Day in the Life of Ghost: Cleaning

Day in the Life of Ghost Store || Southeast by Midwest #ad #sponsored #FreeandCleanLiving #tidycats #collectivebias

I don’t know if you have cats and I don’t know if they are as much of a diva as Ghost is but this girl has got it down PAT. She walks around on the edge of the litter pan so that her feet don’t get into the litter and OH EM GEE is she picky about her litter. We started out getting her TIDY CATS litter and everything was good and then our local pet store started a promotion where more expensive litters were buy so many get one free so we switched to one of those and NOPEITY NOPE NOPE. That did NOT happen again. We switched back to TIDY CATS and haven’t gone back since. We actually just switched to TIDY CATS Free and Clean and we were a little worried that she would be loyal to her specific type of TIDY CATS but that wasn’t the case at all. She actually seems to like the TIDY CATS Free and Clean better as there is hardly any dust and there is no fragrance when pouring it out, which she didn’t like from the other TIDY CATS. We love the fact that the TidyLock Protection and the odor-absorbing activated charcoal makes sure there aren’t any funky smells in the bedroom and the strong clumping makes it much faster to clean out her box. It’s a win-win! I will say though that the moment that they put the Lightweight in the 35 pound buckets, I’ll be ALL over that!!

What I love most though is that the TIDY CATS Free and Clean is already available at one of our favorite retailers, Target, and with the already low prices of Purina products at Target with the occasional possible Cartwheel savings it’s a no brainer! If you happen to have a cat then I highly recommend that you try the TIDY CATS Free and Clean Unscented Litter at Target today! Or click here!

Day in the Life of Ghost: Bedtime

After such an exhausting day (ha!) it’s time to go to bed. Of course she has to fall asleep being snuggled and if you don’t…well you’ll feel the paw!

      Thanks! She’s been a blast to have, we’re so glad we rescued her. She also knows she’s cute, she does something wrong and she gives us the cute face to get out of it!

      She is the sweetest! The Hubs named her after one of the dire wolves in Game of Thrones.

    Such a cute kitty! I have always been a fan of Arm n Hammer Litter so when they came out with the Fresh and Clean I had to give a try. I love the new formula! Way less dust and my kitty doesn’t smell like cheap perfume!

    What a cutie and you described the day in her life perfectly. I always thought my dog was spoiled but I know that cats have that down too. When I have to wake up to take my dog outside that’s when I wish I had a Tidy Cat cat instead.

    I’ve NEVER seen a post like this before and I must say… I LOVE IT. I have a cat too (she’s been featured a few times on my blog), and I’d love to make a post like this. Mind if I steal the idea? Haha. Cats are fun animals, they’re super relaxed, but just as you said.. “a day in their life” is an interesting day. Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed reading this post.

    I am a cat person and remember how my cats always loved to snuggle in bed. They had me so trained that ever piece of furniture was arranged so they could see out the window. Love our fur babies
