Diabetes in Cats and Dogs: Risk Factors That Increase Their Risk

By

This was created by Cash Now Offer.
All pet “parents” want to protect their furry babies from harm and sickness. We go to great lengths and often spare no expense to keep them as healthy as possible. One very real danger to pets is diabetes. I had a toy poodle, once, who developed diabetes. Thanks to excellent medical care, he lived a very long and very, very happy life. Fortunately, he kept regular, scheduled vet visits so he was, in fact, diagnosed (and treated) before we even noticed unusual symptoms.
Another reason to make and keep regular appointments with your pet’s vet!

Popular Cat Toy: Tower of Balls and Fun!

By

Perfect Toy for Cats or Kittens...

The colorful Tower of Tracks Cat Toy, pictured above, is a huge hit with cats. They’re fascinated with the balls as they move along through their path. Three levels of fun gives inquisitive cats three times the fun!

With three tiers, it’s the perfect toy for multiple cats, but one curious cat can have a party all by itself! I love the sturdy construction and non skid pads at the bottom – this means this cat toy can, literally, stand up to whatever our cats throw at it.

Click through the following link Tower of Tracks Cat Toy for a closer look. There are videos, pictures, and more information. One of the top reviews called this the best cat game ever. High praise!

Heated Cat Bed: Heaven on Earth for Cold-Natured Cats

By

Winter, Spring, Summer, OR Fall... This is the Bed Your Cat Will Love

The great looking (and So comfy looking too!) heated cat bed shown above is the K&H Thermo-Kitty Heated Cat Bed. It’s available on Amazon in four different styles/colors:

  • Mocha – pictured above.
  • Sage – pictured below (with a gorgeous occupant!)
  • Orange with a Fish Print
  • Lime Green with a Fish Print

While we tend to associate a heated cat bed with winter, our beloved cats would have us know that our air conditioning preferences often feel like winter to them! I know I have to keep an eye on our air conditioning settings in the winter because, if we go too low, they’re certain we’re trying to freeze them out!

A heated cat bed is appreciated by cold-natured cats year-round, not just during the winter.

  • Soft foam walls cuddle your cat in comfort
  • 4-watt, MET listed, dual thermostat heats to 102 degrees F when pet is present
  • Stays 12 to 15 degrees above room temperature when pet is not in bed
  • Recommended for year-round indoor use; plugs in to any household outlet
  • K&H Thermo-Kitty Heated Cat Bed measures 16 by 16 by 6 inches

Click through the link above or below to take a closer look AND to see the other two colors available.

A Cat Bed That’s the “Toast” of the Town

By

Sorry, I couldn't Resist - Honest, I Tried...

Bread Toast Cat Bed
Love it! The adorable Bread or Toast-Shaped Cat Bed, pictured above, is one of the cutest cat beds I’ve seen in two forevers. Maybe three.

  • Made of high quality and soft sponge.
  • Offer your pet family a nice place to play, sleep and rest.
  • Size:15.7 * 15.7 * 2.8 inches.
  • Large size fits for pet cats and dogs, like Persian Catty, Teddy Doggy, Chihuahua etc.
  • Distinctive chic tasteful toast design pattern looks like real delicious bread. 
  • They are not only suited to animals but also to people as a chair sofa floor cushion applied to home, office, party and so on.
  • Easy to clean. Luxuriously soft faux fur sleep surface and foam core can be detachable which allows the mattress hand washing.

When you click through for a closer look, you’ll notice that there’s a larger (thicker) one also available. Maybe it’s Texas Toast bread?!?

I love this Toast-Shaped Cat Bed – it is just too darn cute!


Fancy Shmancy – Elevated Cat Feeding Station with Glass Bowls

By

Here’s something even the most pampered cat (I’m talking about you, Alexa) in the world can appreciate: a beautiful Elevated Cat Feeding Station with Glass Bowls. Cats are ALL about neatness and order, and the little OCD darlings love for their feeding area to be especially well-maintained and clean. This beautiful pet feeder does just that and I LOVE that the bowls are glass. They last so much longer and are easier to clean than plastic.

  • 15 Degrees tilted bowls offers easy eating and licking; raised 4” for optimum feeding position to promote healthy eating posture
  • Two 13 ounces bowls suitable for cats and small dogs
  • 4.25” wide bowls enhances comfort while eating
  • Dishwasher and microwave safe glass bowls are removable for easy cleaning and warming
  • Sturdy modern design with an anodized aluminum stand that lasts a lifetime

Beware of Kitty Door Mat

The adorable Beware of Kitty Door Mat (pictured above) is just one of the many great cat door mats on Amazon. It’s also one of my personal favorites.

  • These home welcome mats are built with coir that will last through all four seasons with mold and mildew resistance for survival in wet conditions

I also love the Cat Welcome Mat below – equally adorable.

Gorgeous Red and White Outdoor Cat Condo

By

You Have No Idea How Much I Love This!

The beautiful red outdoor cat condo pictured above is probably the next thing I order from Amazon. I just absolutely love it! It’s so cute I think I’d want it in my yard even if I didn’t have outside cats.

Heck, if I could find the right spot, I’d want one for our inside cats as well.

  • Weatherproof cat/small dog house for outdoor use.
  • Fit large cats or small dogs. Inner dimension of the house:27.5″Lx17.5″Wx20″H
  • Easy to assemble with pre-drilled holes.
  • Bottom floor can be removed for easier cleaning,top roof cannot be opened.
  • Ideal shelter for outdoor cats or small dogs.

One of our outdoor cats (a beautiful orange cat named “Rita Hayworth”) loves to hang out on our back deck – in a different spot from the other outside cats. I’m thinking she’d love this crib!

This adorable little home would be ideal for feral cats, too. They’d greatly appreciate the wonderful place to stay dry and safe.

Cat and Kitten Sweaters…. So Cute I’m Melting Right Now

By

Perfect for Indoor Cats During Air Conditioning Season OR Winter

Cat or Kitten Sweater
Adorable Turtleneck Cat Sweaters in Solid Colors
One of our indoor cats (Guen) just had kittens and it occurred to me yesterday how adorable they’d look in sweaters – I can’t help myself, a Crazy Cat Lady’s mind works like that. Keeps me entertained anyway.

While I wouldn’t put sweaters, collars, or any sort of clothing or accessories on our outside cats (mainly for fear it’d get caught on a tree), the inside crew is fair game! Some cats (unless they have a laid back personality) don’t care for clothing or accessories, but oftentimes, if you catch one while they’re still a kitten, you can convince them that it’s a part of life.

In the picture of the adorable cat at the top, he or she is wearing one of the Cat Sweaters in Solid Colors, available on Amazon.

  • Adorable cat or small dog sweaters
  • Available colors: green (shown), red, blue khaki, and pink.
  • Crafted in a combination of wide-ribbed turtleneck collar and Aran stitches for a heritage look.
  • Made of Acrylic Fabric to keep your pet warm soft,comfort skin feeling protect from hurting by hard materials
  • Machine washable (with similar colors in cold water and tumble dry)
  • Suit for Cats, Puppies and other bigger sizes of Dogs 6sizes for selection

The Cat Sweaters in Solid Colors are available in different sizes, so you can “fit” the age and weight of your cat (or small dog, for that matter).


I had a Siamese once (“Solo”) who was generally an adorable little grumpy pants most of the time. However, when we put little tops on him, he loved it! I think he was a little bit cold-natured and they made him feel warmer.

NOTE: If you EVER dress your cat and he/she doesn’t like it, please don’t make them wear the clothing just for the sake of human happiness or amusement. It’d be better to give it to someone else’s cat or chihuahua. Cats are very proud animals (and oftentimes “picky”), and subjecting them to something they aren’t comfortable with isn’t something any of us who love them want to do. Some cats are fine with dress up (I’ve had quite a few who seemed to love it more than I did!) but others simply don’t care for it one bit. Many times, you’ll know before you ever buy clothing for your pet whether she/he will love it or loathe it. As a pet parent, it’s up to you to decide what’s best.

How to Choose the Best Hotel While at the Cat Show 

By

Traveling can be a lot of fun especially when you get to go to places and do things that you love. When you are traveling out of town for a cat show you want to be able to stay someplace that is nice and does not have cat fur on the pillow for a change. However, since you don’t get out much you might find it difficult to choose a hotel. There are a lot of choices in hotels, so how do you know which one is the best? According to Independent Traveler you need to decide what matters most to you and let that  guide your decision. What type of accommodations are you interested in? Are you searching for a hotel that also has a pool, spa and fitness center or would you prefer to be close to entertainment? You next decision will probably be what you plan on (or set aside) to spend on a hotel along with where it is located. Another thing to consider when choosing the best hotel for you is if there are fees in case you have to cancel.
