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.

  • Perfect pet doormats allow for the removal of particles from the bottoms of shoes in order to keep the inside of your home cleaner

Gorgeous Red and White Outdoor Cat Condo

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.

Wall-Mounted Scratching Post… Perfect!

By

Wall Mounted Scratching Post for Cats

The Wall Mounted Scratching Post (above) is one of those cat products that was obviously designed by a cat lover…  probably a cat parent, even. Cats LOVE to scratch – especially when they can stretch fully when doing so. A wall-mounted scratching post allows them the full-body scratching and stretching they’d be able to do “in the wild” against a tree.

Sturdy and safe, not only will your cat love it, you’ll love the fact that it saves your furniture and woodwork!

See  Wall Mounted Scratching Post for more information.


Steady, Large Base Cat Tree With Hammock… Oh, Yeah, That’s What I’m Talking About!

By

We’ve been talking about getting our inside cats a cat tree and the cats tell me it’s time to stop talking and start ordering. Thing is, I want it to have a very wide base (for obvious safety reasons) – until I found the one shown here – the Petian Large Base Cat Tree – I hadn’t really felt 110 percent safe with the foundation on most cat trees.

This one is so perfect even our wild and wooly babies couldn’t knock it over.  I love the beige color, style, the upper perches, scratching posts and hammock…. I’m extra crazy about the adorable hammock!

  • Cat Tree Size: 39″Length * 20″ Width *51″ Tall
  • Material: Compressed wood, faux fur. Posts covered by natural sisal rope.
  • Large base which increase the stablility, never afraid violent move of cat which leads to cat tree furniture break down
  • There is a ladder, 2 hanged balls, a hammock. These highly increase cats’ interest.
  • Assembly instruction and tools included

When I entered “Cat Tree with Large Base,” I actually found even more equally gorgeous and steady cat trees (shown below). Click through any of the options below for more informaion or see Petian Large Base Cat Tree for the one pictured above.
