Pro Plan #CatsTrueNature GoPro Camera/Coupons Giveaway
We’re wild about our latest giveaway, via the #CatsTrueNature campaign from Purina Pro Plan not only because of its dollar value but because it offers a way for cat lovers to understand cats on a deeper level. Cats communicate volumes with their body cues and photography and video allow documentation we can use to observe, rewind, zoom in and focus on specific areas. For years I’ve blogged about how we can learn about cats from observation i.e.Hardwired To Hunt in 6 Steps. Cats are wild at heart and to make their running, stalking, pouncing action easier to capture, one lucky Cat Wisdom 101 reader will win a GoPro camera and coupon of Purina ProPlan coupons.
Imagine how thrilling it would be if we could observe our cats’ magnificence in slow motion? And learn how to take better images. Now we can. Purina partnered with filmmaker Darren Dyk from YouTube’s BeyondSlowMotion and Adam Hartman, creative mind behind Instagram’s super-popular Pouncey (@professor_pouncey) the stunning Bengal and they’resharing their easy to follow photo/video tips here
Darren will wow you with his highspeed slow motion video of the extraordinary nature of cats. Click, view here and be prepared for dropped jaws and new appreciation for the awesomeness of cats!
The Pro Plan® True Nature™ dry formulas are made with 45% protein and are optimized for lean muscle, strength and energy with meat as the first ingredient i.e. turkey is the first ingredient in the chicken formula.
Last year when the appetite of our 20 year-old Merlin with CKD, waned, we tried a variety of brands and ProPlan chicken got him back on track. He’s fed an variety of wet cat food but on fussy days, he gets a sprinkle of dry to jumpstart his appetite. Find out how ProPlan is making a difference in pet food and the pet lover community.

I’d love to win the coupons to get some cat food and the camera would be amazing to film my cats being cats aka adorable.

Would love to win this for our nonprofit to document community cats!! So little is known about their behavior and adventures compared to indoor cats.
One of my crazy ideas or brilliant one (depending how you look at it) this year is to sleep outside with the colony cats! I’m not kidding. Ok so it would be more glamping than camping. Winning a GoPro cameria would be IDEAL to best capture the cats as they come alive at night–roam, hunt, play, etc.

I think it would be amazing to see my cats mire in depth, I have seniors, adults and two new kittens. The kittens are crazy, I never get a great shot/video when they’re playing. This is very exciting!
ellen beck
Ha! I am almost afraid to see what some of my cats do on camera 🙂 I have 6 all either socialized ferals or cats who had ‘too much wrong’ that others didnt want them. I can only imagine what some of them do. I would likely put this on Angus because he thinks he is a dog. When he was being socialized he followed the dog everywhere and wags is tail and growls like a dog. He races trough the house at breakneck speed! He is a wonderful boy who’s people didnt want him after he was old enough (they dont know what they missed!)
We are a Purina hosehold- both for those inside and the colony of ferals I feed.
Brandon B.
I think a Gopro would be a great way to see eye-to-eye with my cats, and view life from their point of view.
Ellen Pilch
Great photos! I would love to win this camera to improve the quality of photos on my blog and the food sounds healthy for my kitties.
Pawesome Cats
Great photos – thinking how fun it would be to see the world through a cat’s eyes.

We wish to get really healthy eating Pro Plan while helping our owner Carol take award winning photos of our finer moments instead of those boring old still photos she insists on doing. Help us climb to great healthy and artistic heights!

steve weber
Wow, what a giveaway!!
I would love to put a GoPro camera on a cat in the wild and see how it goes back to its wild roots and instincts.
Robin
I think now that Manna is being leash trained, it would be fun to see things from her perspective. We could chronicle her journey as a walking kitty (and perhaps someday as a therapy kitty).

I would love to win this! Last night at the PAWS shelter there was a volunteer meeting where they encouraged us to take short videos of the cats. They said that not only do videos show the personality of the cat better than a still shot, but also people looking at the website or Facebook tend to click on a video far more often. The videos can help get cats adopted!
Kathryn
Love your photos! And the video is incredible!
Quinn and Mommy Carol
I eat Purina Beyond Rice and Salmon. Shoot. Good luck to all the kitties out there, though. Mommy would have loved a new camera, but she can’t even figure out how to get hers on the computer, anyway!

I’d love to win the gopro to find out just where my kitty goes everyday and night. I think it would be interesting to find out just what he does.

I’ve seen some really neat things that can be done with a Go Pro with horses. I never thought of the possibilities with cats. How awesome.

Good luck to all kitties, I bet it’s pleasure to learn more about the feline world :o)
