What’s your cat’s favorite pastime? Their biggest pet peeve? Surely these are just a couple of the questions you wish you could ask your cat. Well, with the help of famed animal communicator, Sonya Fitzpatrick you finally can!

Fitzpatrick and TEMPTATIONS® Treats for Cats have teamed up to ask cats these and other questions with the “WHAT DO CATS REALLY THINK?” contest.

All you need to do is “Like” TEMPTATIONS on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/Temptations) between July 7, 2011 and August 3, 2011 and upload a photograph of your cat. 250 winners will be selected to receive results from a personalized reading of that photograph by Fitzpatrick, who is widely regarded as the most experienced and trusted animal communicator in the world.

One lucky entrant and their cat will also win the Grand Prize: An opportunity of a lifetime to speak directly with Fitzpatrick via a 30 minute private phone reading to finally get the answers to the questions they’ve always wanted to ask their cat.

Plus, if you’re a winner, you could be part of history! The results from Fitzpatrick’s readings of the 250 winning photographs will be compiled to form what will be a first-of-its kind cat survey that will finally provide insight into what cats really think about topics including their favorite things to do around the house and with their human companions.
