I have two feisty cats, Aspen and Forest, who help keep me active and happy. I occasionally take them on walks outside while on a leash, but they mostly keep me on my toes wanting to play around the house. When they’re not playing with each other or sleeping, Aspen enjoys playing fetch with his toy mouse and Forest loves chasing his favorite string toy. They are always up to play, which helps keep myself and my husband active. We give them hemp oil as a daily nutrient for optimal health and preventive measures against MJFITNUTdiseases. It’s as easy as adding the oil to their food and treats or adding CBD infused water as a refreshment. I also use a balm on their paws. The balm provides comfortable moisture to their paws.  We consider them valuable members of our family and want to keep them as happy and healthy as possible, so they can return the favor for us!
