Give me a "C"!

Amid great fanfare, may I present Cicero, one of the many beloved cats served by Paws on Piedmont.

Cicero is a formally-feral cat from Wisconsin. Though he still bares scars from his wild past, Cicero now enjoys the easy life indoors.

He also enjoys catnip toys,

and his raw food made by Primal Pet Foods. Primal is a local Bay Area company that uses only 100% human grade antibiotic and hormone-free meats, certified organic produce, vitamins and minerals, and supports sustainable agriculture.

Cicero loves to play and he recommends DaBird which is, in his opinion, the best cat toy ever!

(Always a diplomat, Cicero requested this post. He says that several neighborhood cats have contacted him with concerns about this blog becoming too canine-centric. Perhaps this is true, but I also have reason to believe that Cicero is craving a little bit of the limelight for himself. Regardless of his motivation, I'm willing to accept his advice on this issue. )

Delilah: Dlog of the Day!

Meet Delilah.

She's part Papillon, part Shih Tzu and all love.

She's also a regular at Paws on Piedmont. When Delilah first began visiting the store, she was just a tiny ball of fluff but last month she celebrated her first birthday!

These are Delilah's favorite treats:

Yum!

Delilah also enjoys visiting her friends at Piedmont Fabric, a wonderful fabric store here on the Ave. Delilah lives with her roommate Trixie, one of our fabulous local felines.
