We've learned one big lesson from the pandemic. In this uncertain time, it's not about striving to attain the things you want; it's about appreciating the things you have. We are thankful for a lot of things but, most importantly, we are grateful for our partners, our followers, and our team who help us realize our mission everyday.
We hope you have a safe Thanksgiving celebrating and appreciating all of the important things in your life. Make it a special one. #MakeitGAP #thanksgiving #thankful #givethanks

Next up in the National Cat Week G.A.P. Spotlight is Bear. An 8-month old domestic short hair kitten, Bear is a lover, not a fighter. He does, however, like to attack floating images on the TV if you let him. 😂 We think he has a future career in modeling... look at that paw cross. What a pro! Hope you are all treating your kitties extra special this week! Post a photo of your feline bestie in the comments below. 😻#catsofinstagram #nationalcatweek #catlover

Our next G.A.P. Feline Superhero is Kevin, aka "The Kev". Kevin is a Lynx Point Siamese, and falls squarely into the G.A.P. Cat Team's heavyweight category at a svelte 16.5 lbs. This 6 year-old is well-traveled and friendly, making friends with all wildlife he encounters - snakes, lizards, opossums, other cats in the 'hood, you name it. He has also "driven" across country twice thanks to his cool cat parents Gabbi and Nik. Keep on keepin' on, Kev.
#MakeitGAP #nationalcatweek #catsofinstagram #thekev
Our next G.A.P. Kitty Supermodel is Bella. She is 8 months old and team member Pam's pride-and-joy. Bella is curious, active, and somewhat of a contortionist judging by the places she squeezes into. Her favorite place is on the top bunk on her kitty condo - the penthouse, of course!
Don't forget you can #MakeitGAP for your pet too by supporting our G.A.P. pet brand partners! (link in bio) Happy National Cat Week!
