Well, this post has been a long time coming hasn’t it?! I’m SURE you guys would have seeing me raving about Maggie & Arthur over on Instagram - or spotted the 926383652 stories I’ve posted about them ;)
For today’s post I’ve teamed up with PetPlan, so I thought what a bloody perfect way to formally introduce to two new loves of my life; Maggie and Arthur to you all!
I’m not sure if you guys will remember but around 2 years ago at my dads house we got our cat, Bella – she was the most beautiful little fur baby (well, she still is, albeit slightly more grumpier haha!). She’s a mixed breed, one parent is Persian and the other British Short Hair and she’s just the most beautiful cat, I said to Ben when I knew we were buying the house that we had to get our kittens from the same lady.
She wasn’t breeding for around 6 months but that actually worked perfectly for us as it meant we could settle into the house properly, then introduce our new fluff balls to their new home. We picked them up around 6 months ago and what a 6 months it’s been – we absolutely adore them!
I was so excited to team up with PetPlan to bring you today’s post, to share a little more about PetPlan's new Summer Safety Hub, why they’re the perfect choice when it comes to pet insurance and why we love having Maggie and Arthur so much!
PetPlan are one of the leaders in Pet insurance (if you have a pooch they also offer Dog Insurance too!), but for me it’s pet insurance with a difference, as they really care! They know how important pets are and what a big role they play in your family!
To help pet owners give their pets the best life, this summer PetPlan have set up an online Summer Safety Hub, packed full of top tips on Pet Summer Safety, from finding out when the pavements are too hot to take your dogs walking to which BBQ foods aren’t safe for your pets to snack on (yes they have literally thought of everything! Which I love, as they understand how much pets really do mean to us!).
We brought Maggie & Arthur home six weeks ago and their safety is paramount to us, as they’re house cats we’re so conscious of keeping windows and doors shut (especially in the summer!), saying that they LOVE the sunshine though, their favourite thing to do is to sunbath in any sun spot throughout the house! We also book them a ‘lookout platform’ which attaches to the window so they can sit and watch the birds outside – it’s their favourite thing to do!
Even in just six weeks, they’ve become such a big part of our lives, and they’ve completed our little family (I’m 100% *that cat mum who’s picture roll is filled with 2073852 images of them – even when they’re asleep I could take pictures of them all day haha!). I’ve loved documenting their journey growing up and I love looking back at how small they were to see how much they’ve grown (especially Arthur as he doesn’t stop eating haha).
For me, I fill like Maggie and Arthur have filled a hole in our lives we didn’t know existed, I feel so full of love having them in our home – Ben and I could watch them play for hours and it’s been such an incredible journey watching their cheeky characters develop!
I’m so grateful to PetPlan for a.) offering an incredible pet insurance policy to keep our fur babies looked after and for b.) launching their Summer Safety Hub to ensure we can look after Maggie and Arthur in the best possible way this summer!
Do you have any pets? Have you used PetPlan insurance or their Summer Safety Hub before?
