let me just start by saying
i am sooo lucky to be a bzz agent!
are you one??

if not go and sign up

now on to the business...

do you have a cat?

as a bzz agent i was given a
great opportunity to
let bella try this amazing
GRAIN FREE food!

bella is an outdoor cat
who loves his prey (YUCK)
i DO NOT condone letting
domesticated cats out,
but bella used to rip all
our screens to let himself outside!!
he doesn't love cat food,
but he is actually eating this food! yay
