That way, you can tell us if they're any good, and maybe even pass them off to us for free! BTW, I am a little *selfishly* sad that your site is so popular. It makes the chances of winning the giveaways that much smaller! :) I think it’s good that the companies ask you to try their products!

I had assumed that the ads were paid - they were obviously not the same "adsense" type ads I have seen, and it was obviously not the kind that some free blog sites post to keep the sites free. I also appreciate that you are honest about companies asking you to try their products -I know most of the blogs I follow post that info too but there are some out there that don't let you know up front, and for me at least it makes me question the reviews. I have been asked to post ads and try products on my blog, and for me personally I don't do it - because it isn't what my blog is about (if I buy something for the cats that they go nuts over I will usually talk about it). With this blog it is different (and, by the way, awesome) and for me at least, I did come in assuming that it was more of a money making blog (that doesn't really sound right - I look at it like the cool cats stuff version of Engadget, a site I also frequent - like it has great items and honest info but is not just a personal blog - I don't want to make it seem like I think it is some big money grab because that isn't what I think at all). I believe the reviews are honest on this site - I just never have gotten the impression you would rave about something just to get in good with a manufacturer - and that is a high compliment now a days. I love that the site gives me info on products that I know I would be interested in - it is the first place I have found this info in one place (again, like with Engadget). I know that if I see something and want to find out more info I can come here and see if there is anything written about it, to get a good idea about the item before I buy it, or if I am looking for something but not sure exactly what I can come here to get ideas and learn where to purchase it. But I wanted to thank you for this post because it great to see someone being honest about stuff with so many blogs not doing that now-a-days. I think it is a great site (I would totally recommend it to anyone who was looking for this stuff) and hope it is around for a long time!

Moderncat looks great, and I am sure is a full-time job. http://www.TheDailyTail.com has become a full-time job, too. It’s amazing how much we have to do to keep up with the content, the community and the technical side. But I haven’t been happier in my life. It’s really rewarding to work on a pet-related project.
