Tips for Buying Pet Food:
 
If you want a no-nonsense, EASY way to determine which dog or cat foods to eliminate from your top
choices, here is an easy tip:

Look at the pet food label, and if you see any of the following 6 phrases, put the bag or can down and move on to the next product:

1. Meat by-products
2. Animal fat
3. Animal digest
4. Ethoxyquin
5. BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
6. BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)

There are so many foods out there that have better quality ingredients, don’t bother with products that have any of the 6 ingredients listed above.

Welcome to June!
 
A difficult start to this month's obligations! My computer started acting up last month and I could not publish the Kitty Times here as usual. It turned out to be my router having a slow decay, eventually becoming useless. Since the change was so gradual, it was not immediately evident what the problem was. Now that it's fixed, things are looking up again.
 
Another issue, on the legal front, applies to everyone and anyone who has a website and either sells products or collects information from their visitors who live in the European Union, or EU. To comply with these new rules, I have had to update my sites with new legal notices, and am required to tell you this as well:
 
Because of the new laws that went into effect on May 25 in Europe, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we have updated our website policies. The GDPR is the latest method in use to ensure that you have more control over what personal data any companies can store and how they use it.

Here at the Kitty times and The Problem Cat, we do not share, rent, or sell your personal data with any person or company, and do not save any personal data if you purchase anything. We guarantee the privacy of your data by using accredited services for our email processing, such as this newsletter. You don't need to do anything for your data to be protected by the GDPR - these changes will apply automatically.

If at anytime you wish to stop receiving communications from me, all you need to do is simply unsubscribe with the link at the bottom of every newsletter, as has always been in place.

I promise never to share your details and I will only share tips, news, insights, events and workshops that I hope will be of interest to you. Thank you for being a newsletter subscriber and part of the global internet community.
