The gorgeous Cat Treehouse – Tan
above has caught Alexa’s eye – both of them. She envisions herself sprawled out in the cradle for nap time and awakening to a rousing game of sharpening her claws as though her life depended upon it. She loves to climb and seems to think this cat tree would be both a hoot and a holler (excuse her accent, she’s southern after all).
Hannah prefers to stay low to the ground – I can’t imagine that she’d have much use for this particular cat tree. She would do something pretty unique, though. Even though she has been declawed (we didn’t do it, she was without her front claws when she adopted us), she goes through the motions of sharpening her claws.
For some reason, it somehow breaks my heart every time I see her do it. I suspect that she realizes that each time she does it, I swoop her up with an unusual amount of baby talk, petting, kissing – all of which is followed by something fishy and delicious.
Hmmmm, maybe that explains why she goes through the motion so often. Cats are incredibly smart and we cat lovers can be wrapped around their little paws so easily!

One of the things I cherish the most in my e-mail inbox is the daily Cat Age Tip of the Week newsletter. (Click the link to find out how to sign up!)
In today’s tip, we’re reminded how important it is to keep out cats toys and playthings safe.
Here’s the daily tip:
Whether your cat prefers expensive store-bought toys or items found around the house, take care to keep your cavorting cat safe.
To prevent choking, avoid toys with parts that can become detached during play. Bring out the pounce in your pet with safe choices such as a ping-pong ball or a catnip mouse. Playtime with string or yarn should be carefully supervised to prevent your cat from accidentally swallowing it. Finally, secure free-standing kitty condos and cat towers to the floor or wall to keep them from toppling over.
Great advice! I’d also add the following:
- Decorative ribbon that’s used for gifts is very enticing to pets. It’s fun to play a great game of tug and catch with them using the bright ribbon. However, this kind shreds pretty easily and could be a real choking hazard to an animal. Last year, Alexa found a strand beneath the Christmas tree and took off for the back of the house. It was as though she knew she had something I didn’t want her to have! I followed to get the ribbon to throw away and, in that little span of time, she had one end down her throat. This year I didn’t even buy this type of rolled ribbon for our presents. I subscribe to the theory of “better unbelievably safe than unbelievably sorry.”
- Inspect toys just as you would inspect them for a child. Think of each conceivable possibility – will this small piece come off…. can that get wrapped around her/his neck… that sort of thing.
- I love the tip above about securing their towers and condos to the wall. Just because you don’t think it could possibly topple over doesn’t mean it won’t. I never in a gazillion years believed Alexa would be able to turn an ironing board over on herself, but she sure managed. (Yes, as a matter of fact, she does have to be watched like a toddler!) In fact, we have bamboo shelves in the kitchen that she occasionally likes to climb, I need my husband to anchor them to the wall. Our little girl is more of a busy body than Prissy ever was. Prissy rarely climbed anything beyond the couch or the nearest bed. Alexa’s convinced she’s part mountain lion.
- Watch out for newspaper left lying around. If your cat is as inquisitive or playful as Alexa (Heaven help you), they probably like to attack the paper and see how fast they can shred it. Little pieces of newspaper can get stuck on the back of the cat’s tongue and become a choking hazard quickly.
- While we’re talking about chocking hazards, watch out for the green grass that’s popular in Easter baskets. Like the ribbon and paper, it can become dangerous very fast. Be sure it’s out of your little one’s way.
I guess that’s all of the tips I can think of for now… at least until Alexa gets into something else! If you have any to add, please do so in the comments.
Click the following link for a wonderful article: 10 Ways to Make Your Cat Younger. Oy. I’m almost certain Alexa has no waist definition. I mean, I know she has a waist… somewhere…. She’s all over the other 9 though. She just needs to eat a little less… Maybe cut back to just 1 lunch instead of 3…

Three of our outside babies are currently huddled together in a nice big, round basket that’s lined with bedding and a baby blanket. Since Ming Li had kittens, I think we need a second basket or cat bed outside. I’m flipping over the Atmosphere Bamboo Pet Bed with Cushion
above but it looks too gorgeous to put outside. I’m thinking it should stay inside with Alexa… then I can move one of her favorite beds outside for the little ones.
The last thing I’d need would be to order this beauty, set it up outside for my little kittens and have a possum or raccoon ransack it. Both of these adorable animals (who are frequent guests in our yard) love to ransack and I know they’d look at this fancy pants bed as their Waterloo!
From the Website:
A unique piece of furniture bed specifically designed for cats. The spherical shape of this elegant bed ergonomically contours the natural curled sleeping position of the cat. The luxurious golden striped overfilled cushion provides a comforting resting and sleeping area for any feline. Trendy chocolate stain and the spherically arranged bamboo strips complements one another making this bed a wonderful piece of modern pet furniture. Bed is made of environmental friendly bamboo and wood; Cushion cover is made of cotton/polyester blend, with 100% polyester filling; machine washable.
Bamboo is an Eco-Friendly material, easily renewable and requiring very little water to grow, making it a great choice for any home!
This item ships directly from the manufacturer. Product usually arrives in 4-10 business days, depending on destination, including order processing and shipping.

Few things are more heart-breaking than losing a pet. However, when one is lost due to the owner’s negligence or ignorance (I don’t mean that to be insulting – I just mean when an owner is unaware that something could be harmful!) – the pain must be almost impossible to live with.
ASPCA, an organization I firmly believe in, has listed the Ten Most Common Pet Poisons of 2009 and every pet owner should read the list. In fact, we should all read the list, then forward it to everyone we know!
Animals depend entirely on us and I’m sure you feel the same way I do – I have no intention of letting them down. Click the link above to read the very informative list. A few might just surprise you.
The gorgeous Cat Poster Print
at the top of the post is available online for less than $10!

Beautiful actress Hilary Swank and her two precious adopted dogs
I was sent a very heart-warming and encouraging final update on Iams Home 4 the Holidays (IH4TH). IH4TH had its most successful adoption drive ever by placing nearly 1.4 million pets into loving homes in the last three months!
1.4 million babies! If that doesn’t touch your heart, I’m not sure it can be touched.
Between Oct. 1, 2009 and Jan. 4, 2010, more than 3,500 animal organizations and the IH4TH ambassador—two-time Academy Award-winning actress Hilary Swank—proved to be a powerful combination in the massive effort to help reduce pet homelessness.
“I’m proud to be part of such an amazing cause and I hope the many families who adopted through the IH4TH program will experience the same unconditional love and fulfillment my dogs Karoo and Rumi give me every day,” said Swank. “I hope our success inspires everyone to get involved and continue to help eradicate pet homelessness because there are millions of animals who still need our help and we all have the ability to help make a difference.”
The following animals were adopted this year:
* 729,357 dogs
* 588,265 cats
* 46,016 other animals (including rabbits, reptiles, horses, birds and more)
As one of the most successful pet adoption programs in the world, IH4TH partners thousands of animal organizations dedicated to helping place homeless animals with happy, loving homes. Founded in 1999 by the Helen Woodward Animal Center and supported by Iams, IH4TH—along with nearly 3,500 pet adoption centers – has helped more than 4.6 million pets find shelter, including nearly 1.4 million from just this year!
The next IH4TH program will kick off on Oct. 1 2010, but this is still an issue that needs attention—and there are plenty of ways to get involved now! To learn more about how to make a difference in the life of an orphaned pet, including finding participating shelters, volunteering or making a donation to support animal organizations and pets awaiting new homes, visit www.iamshome4theholidays.com.
As a pet lover extraordinaire, I want to say thanks to Hilary Swank, Iams, and every single very special person who gave a precious animal a new home. May your newly expanded family be ridiculously happy and your homes filled with love.
If Hilary weren’t already one of my absolute favorite stars, she would be now. But, alas, I’ve adored her since I first saw her.
