According to a recent study conducted by Blue Buffalo, 4 out of 5 cat parents report their cats are awake and active at night, and 47 percent say their sleep is disrupted by their cat’s antics. With nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of cat parents who experience disrupted sleep looking for ways to manage their cat’s activities, Blue Buffalo is teaming up with Kinsey to offer fun and effective ways to manage these common behaviors.

“I know all too well about funny dawn and dusk behaviors with my cats, Snickers and Oreo, from snuggling in my hair at bedtime to being very chatty and running full speed through the house,” shares Kinsey. “Since these hilarious hijinks can often keep us up at night, I’m thrilled to be partnering with Blue Buffalo to share some simple solutions that have worked in my home, like plenty of active play before bed and shifting the regular evening meal closer to bedtime. I feed Snickers and Oreo BLUE Tastefuls™ to ensure they are well nourished throughout the day. Plus, they love the taste – so I don’t have to choose between food they enjoy and good nutrition.”

BLUE Tastefuls™ is a portfolio of deliciously healthy wet and dry cat food specially crafted to entice even the most finicky felines while delivering high-quality nutrition through natural ingredients. The product line comes in a wide variety of meat-first recipes and textures to please every cat’s palate.

About The Blue Buffalo, Co.

Blue Buffalo, the country’s #1 natural pet food, started with a promise made to a lovable Airedale named Blue who struggled with cancer, the leading cause of death in dogs. His family, the Bishops, wanted to feed him the best food possible, so they searched for food with high-quality ingredients, but decided to create something even better – natural pet food for dogs and cats with nutritious ingredients, real meat first, and some of the highest standards in the industry. Since Day 1, BLUE’s team of veterinarians and animal nutritionists has carefully selected high-quality, natural ingredients and upheld its True BLUE Promise to dog and cat pet parents – real meat as the first ingredient with NO chicken (or poultry) by-product meals, NO corn, wheat or soy, and NO artificial flavors or preservatives. The result is a portfolio of high-quality, natural food and treats that both dogs and cats love. This simple idea: “Love them like family.
