CATastrophe 35 piece Kit

                                     

Everything seems to hit at once around here. Between Saturday morning cat ER visits and Monday evening child ER visits we had a storm that progressed into a tornado warning. While banished to our closet under the stairs, I began thinking about what we needed for our pets in a true emergency. We have a camp stove, first aid kit, and food put away and a few pet things. I came across this CATastrophe kit. While it may not be exactly what I had in mind, it includes several necessities.

• 2 bags of food
• 2 blankets
• 2 light sticks
• 2 food bowls
• 1 cat toy
• 1 three gallon bucket
• 1 first aid kit
• 12 water packs
• 1 fifty foot rope
• 6 poop bags
• 1 can opener
• 1 blood stopper
• 1 pet disaster guide

There are also dog kits and an option to add it to a customized household emergency kit. $59 at Shelf Reliance.

The Pizza Candle

I don't like most candles. They are often too perfumey, flowery, or synthetic scented. This one is funny though, it is pizza scented! It would go great with the beer candle.
