#Prospurr

...And we're back with another installment of MBE's popular Dear Morris Guest Post Series, featuring meows of wisdom from the world's most famous feline, Morris the 9Lives spokescat. Morris wants to help you look (and feel) as good as he does! And to do just that he's offering more sage kitty advice in this post, plus the chance to win a fantastic giveaway featuring a human-sized 9Lives-branded bathrobe, a $300 Spa Finder gift card, and a whole year's supply of 9Lives cat food. 

Dear Morris,

My teenage daughter spends 45 minutes in front of the mirror every day primping and brushing her hair. I think this is excessive but she tells me it's what makes her happy. Morris, since you always look fabulous, I thought you could give me some advice--what's the best way to get her to spend less time in front of the mirror?

Sincerely,

Fur-ustrated Mamma

Dear Fur-ustrated Mamma,

I know it may seem like I just wake up looking this good, but believe it or not, I put in lots of long hours licking my fur. In fact, as a cat, I groom up to 50% of the time I'm awake. Grooming not only makes you look good, it can be used for meditation--kind of like focusing really hard on a red laser dot. So I say, take the time you need to feel your best--whether it's 5 minutes or 45. It's a very purrsonal choice.

Kitty Cat Love,

Morris

Morris has spoken, readers. Turns out there's nothing wrong with a little extra gussying up. And to help you do that, be sure to visit Morris's good-grooming Live Well & Prospurr website for more inspiration. You can also tweet #MorrisFeeds and Morris will donate a bowl of 9Lives cat food to a hungry rescue kitty.

Easy Veggie Flower Bouquet Kids Craft for Spring Fun Food Art for Parties & Mothers Day

Food Art

What an easy and festive spring DIY edible food art project this Veggie Flower Bouquet is for children. From the pages of FamilyFun Magazine, this Veggie Flower Bouquet is not only fun to make but delicious and healthy to eat, too. 

This would be a blast for kids to make (and eat!) at a children's birthday party this spring or summer. It would equally be a great idea for kids to create as a Mother's Day surprise gift at breakfast, too. Depending on your kids' abilities and ages, parents, teachers and caregivers will definitely want to participate and supervise this craft. 

How To

For tulips, cut off mini sweet peppers; for daisies, slice peppers into 1/2" rings. Remove seeds, make small hole in bottom on tulip or one side of ring, then insert string beans into holes and serve with your fave dip. Directions
