CLOSED Win Whiskas treats for your cat and t-shirts for you!

I'm sure every cat owner has sometimes wished they were a cat! Maybe not many go to the lengths of my mother, who once wrote to Jim'll Fix It asking him to fix it for her to have a long, furry tail (he never replied). But wouldn't it be lovely to laze around all day, be pampered on demand and have meals served up whenever you want them? The nearest I ever get to that is a day at a spa.


I used to have two lovely cats - sadly they were old men and are no longer around.

As you can see, they always got the best seats and attention on demand!


The people at Whiskas have been thinking about what would happen if people were to live their lives more like cats, and have come up with some tips, ideas and even videos to help  us.  You can read their manifesto on Facebook  and see some videos on YouTube

Here is what Claire, from Life, Ninja Killer Cat and Everything Else has to say:

Even if you don't like cats you can't have failed to see relaxed they are, though some would say lazy. Cats merely save their energy for the important things in life be it sleeping or eating. It is something perhaps we could all do, live a little more like cats. This might even help bring balance to our lives.

This is part of a mans adventures of living like a cat for a week

This is a quote from a lady I know on twitter

"Trying not to nod off as the cat is sleeping on my desk & giving me ideas about a nicer way to spend the pm. #wishiwasacat"

I asked her if I could use her quote and she said yes!

"Of course!Happy to oblige-especially as said cat has succeeded in making me incredibly lethargic". #thepowerofcats
