Atlanta Eats is a premiere television show in Atlanta, Georgia that features restaurants and dining establishments. It’s a fun show to watch to discover joints to fine dining around the city.

KittyNook is an online pet store for cats with toys, harnesses, walking leashes, bowls, beds, and more. Their website blog offers posts about International Cat Day, cat health, safety, and ways you can play with and enrich their lives.
