Hi friend!
The flowers are blooming, the windows are open, and if your cat is anything like mine, they’re spending most of their day soaking up the sunshine. May is full of pawsome ways to celebrate the cats we love—including some fun holidays, a new cat fact to share, and this month’s customer spotlight giveaway! 🐱🌸

🐱 May is National Pet Month!
All month long, we’re celebrating the joy, love, and companionship that pets bring into our lives.
Whether you’re a cat person or love animals of all kinds, this is the perfect time to give your furry friend some extra attention—maybe a new scratcher, too.
And here are a few more fun reasons to spoil your cat this month:

🌟 Customer Spotlight & Monthly Giveaway 🌟
Congrats to this month’s winner of a free Hide & Scratch: @honeyandthebee and her handsome boy Quill! 🐾
|
|
Quill loves to sit by the window in his Hide & Scratch box to relax, soak up the sun, and keep a close eye on the birds outside—and honestly, we agree it might be the coziest (and most strategic) seat in the house! 🪟🐦
With his paws tucked in and eyes on the action, he’s made this spot his official bird-watching lounge.
Quill - your next scratcher box is on me!

Every month, I choose one lucky cat (and their human!) to win a FREE Hide & Scratch scratcher box —and feature them right here in the newsletter!
Want to be next? Just tag @hideandscratch and use #hideandscratch and #hideandscratchholidays when you post a photo of your kitty enjoying their box. I can’t wait to see who steals the spotlight in June! 😻

🐾 Fun Cat Fact!
Did you know that cats can live well into their twenties with proper care!
While the average cat lives between 13–17 years, many are living into their twenties thanks to better nutrition, regular vet visits, and loving homes.
This month, as we honor responsible pet guardianship, it's a great reminder of how far love and care can go.
