My cat’s matted coat, cat’s hair on a sofa, and my experiment with affiliate

This is a different post and an experimental one. When I started this blog I used to recommend products that were great for me or my mum. I loved them purely because they delivered what they promised. At that time there were plenty of blogs doing this and they were NOT affiliate blogs.

Times have changed and most of the pages on Google – at least the first two will have some kind of affiliate link to them. My blog is tiny to make it to any affiliate and the products I will mention are too cheap to make big bucks. But they did make a huge difference to me.

The first one is about a matted coat. Oh my god. How many tears I cried that I could not prevent matting on my darling cat. Usually, I had to cut the matted coat at the end or ask the nurse at my vet to help me. I felt so useless and inadequate when they had to help me and asked me: “Why did you choose this kind of cat? She is so demanding and will need this type of grooming for the rest of her life?”

Well, the truth is. She is a rescue. She chose us and we could not say no. So what is the magic product that helped me? It looks like a simple brush but it is not. It gets the matted clumps out so well. Use it as a normal brush, be gentle of course but this time you don’t have to stress. My cat enjoys it!

The second product is more for me but it is about the cat’s hair again. I have been getting lots of her hair on our bedding blankets. Yes, I have used the old lint roller but it did not do the job so well. Now I finally have something that helps me to scoop the hair and have the blankets clean. A photo is below. There is something I need to say though – it is more labour intensive, you do get the hair off but little by little. Also, I have tried it on my blanket covers that I bought in IKEA, these are fairly cheap and cheerful fabrics and I don’t mind them being damaged. I would not use it on an expensive fabric and the teeth are fairly aggressive when scooping and might damage more delicate material.

So here you have it. Two products that changed my life (and my cat’s), too. Enjoy them as much as I do and they just cost a few dollars.

P.S. Of course, this post is for cat/dog lovers but for my regular readers who are petless a little explanation. Yes, I do want to help cat owners but I am also testing something. I want to know if this post will get picked up and if there is something to the “affiliate” concept or not. Is it worth it for someone who has a small blog and is just promoting products from daily life? I will let you know the results or you can keep on checking this post as time goes. I do not have high hopes as I am not using any SEO strategy or anything like that. Anyway let’s see, shall we?

Have a great spring, dear friends 🙂

Two products – one has a link and one does not because I can’t remember where I got it from.

Questions I am trying to solve: Can a "one-person business" survive? Does it have a chance in today's world? Is it sustainable for more than a few years? Is it something that can work long-term? In my blog, I am mainly creating lists with tips on how to avoid numerous burnouts while working full-time (and hoping to retire early hahaha).
