There is nothing wrong with asking a blogger to write something for money on your site. It is the same is a food writer. Personally,I think the food writers are being a bit up themselves on this. That's not to say I'd do it. But what is wrong with asking somebody to write something? Samantha, I’m not sure why you are so hung up with the blog thing and that you don’t pay bloggers to write.

The reference to the word blog in our email was incorrect and has caused confusion. Rather, we were looking to commission a freelance food writer, who is a cat owner, to write some light hearted copy for the brand’s website (not a blog). The published copy would state that the article had been commissioned. Unfortunately, the mistake we made was that it wasn't freelance food writers who received our email. Let me apologise again for the error and to those who received it. In relation to the “Confessions of Love” quote, they are in no way related to the commissioned article that we were seeking.
