Great Bumper Sticker for Cat Lovers
Obviously, someone who’s familiar with Alexa, Prissy, Svenn, and Bo used them as inspirations to create a bumper sticker. You’d think they’d at least send me one free, right?
The Cats running wild! Bumper Sticker lets the world know you love cats and gives them something to smile about at the same time.
You gotta love that!
The Palm Cat Tree
The Palm Cat Tree from Shop.com is at the top of my cats’ Christmas lists. Fortunately, 3 out of 4 of them are always on Santa’s “Nice” List and even “Naughty” Alexa wins him over with her cuteness. When you’re as beautiful as she is, Santa tends to overlook all the needless bird and rodent abuse and subsequent slaughter. He even forgives her for picking on Bo and Svenn. Life’s sweet when you look like an angel even is you usually act like something else altogether!
From the Manufacturer:
Custom made to order, usually leaves our warehouse in 7 - 14 business days. The Palm Cat Tree is one of our newer Cat Tree designs, and is also the perfect scratching post. Small enough to be used where space is limited, but large enough to give your cat hours of enjoyment.
The top of the Cat Tree has a 16″ round padded platform , with a special thermal lining to retain the cat’s body heat while sleeping or just relaxing. Four large petals are designed to “flex” when the cat jumps on them, which makes it earsier on the cat’s joints and you will find older cats getting more use out of this Cat Tree because of this one simple feature. The base is 20″ round giving this Cat Tree added stability and preventing tipping under normal use.
The entire Cat Tree is covered in commercial grade carpeting for years of trouble free wear. Approximate Height: 32″ (2ft 8in) Approximate Width: 24″ Trunk Diameter: 8″ Weight: 30 lbs. Palm Tree Colors: Top: Gold Top Petals: Sage Trunk: Multi-fleck Green/Brown/Tan Base: Tan
Special Features:
*Our molded leaves are designed to “flex” which cushions the landing and prevents excessive wear and tear on joints, especially of older cats (Shout out to Prissy!), when they jump onto the Tree.
*Commercial grade carpeting is used throughout the entire Cat Tree, including the lining inside the holes in the trunk.
*All our beds and larger leaves have a “thermal” lining that retains the cat’s body heat providing greater comfort.
*An extra wide base is added to all units providing greater stability and preventing tipping under normal use.
The Palm Cat Tree is a perfect way to spoil and pamper the precious little ones that mean so much to us! Even those who think it’s their personal mission to wipe out the bird and rodent populations.
The Most Gorgeous Clock in the World
Okay, I’ll admit it. Might as well, right? I was looking around Macy’s.com this afternoon for Christmas gift ideas. Since I’m good at what I do (i.e. shopping), I found tons of ideas. The problem is, for every gift I saw that I wanted to get for someone else, I found something I very much wanted to get for me! I’m trying to show a little restraint, though, since it is the time for giving instead of getting.
But (and I mean a big, fat Santa-size butt), the clock above is an exception. MUST HAVE!
The Infinity Instruments Wagging Cat Tail Pendulum Clock insits on moving in with us and who am I to argue? It’s gorgeous…and, best of all, the cat reminds me of one of the sweetest cats we ever had - Renee Elise, the hugging cat.
From the website:
This charming black cat makes a unique accent for any room. A delightful timepiece features a moving cat tale for a pendulum and a subtle ivory patina.
The clock was originally priced at $50, but it’s on sale (thank you, Macy’s!).
Back to browse for gift ideas, but I wanted to take a moment to share the most beautiful clock I ever saw with you. I can’t tell you how much I love it! She had me at “Hello.”
Four Paws Kitty Kat Circus Cat Toy
The Four Paws Kitty Kat Circus
is a winner for at least five reasons.
1. It’s endless fun for the pets that we love - giving us as much enjoyment and amusement as it does them. I just spent about 20 minutes playing with Alexa and Prissy and easily enjoyed myself as much as they did!
2. It’s cool looking, so leaving it set up in your home isn’t a big deal. I love that it’s all bright and colorful - just like toys for human babies.
3. It encourages exercise for cats that might otherwise be lacking in activity. An inactive cat can quickly become an overweight and unhealthy cat.
4. It’s just always a great idea to provide our babies with fresh, innovative things to amuse them and keep them mentally active as well as physically active. Cats become bored when their routine doesn’t offer much in the way of excitement and change. Sadly, a bored cat becomes a very unhappy and unhealthy cat. So, always…always…always keep her/him entertained!
5. This amazing little cat circus costs a lot less than you’d think. That’s always a PLUS in my book.
The Claws are Out in New York City
Lardy, a Ragdoll cat, plays with a toy bird during a media preview for The Cat Fanciers’ Association 5th Annual CFA-Iams Cat Championship in New York October 10, 2007
Me-ow! New York City will be taken over by cats this weekend.
The 5th annual show, run by the Cat Fanciers’ Association, the world’s largest registry of pedigreed cats, will feature 325 cats and 41 different breeds, from American Curl to the Egyptian Mau, strutting their stuff at Madison Square Garden.
“People want their cats to win here,” said Pam DelaBar, president of the association. “The same rule applies for these furry creatures. If they can make it here in New York, they can make it anywhere.”
Yeah, she went there.

DemoCat Toys
Politically-speaking, our cats are divided - two are Republicans, two are DemoCATS. Ha Ha…
Radio Controlled Mouse
Check (book) please! I see an awful lot of fun in store for Alexa and Bo, and for those of us who call ourselves humans, on most days anyway. Prissy (who you’ll remember is as old as Noah’s great grandmother) will probably glance at it twice before heading off to (1) bed, (2) her food dish, or (3) the bathroom sink. Svenn would be deathly afraid of it, so much so that I probably won’t even let him see it - too much trauma for my little guy, his high strung nerves couldn’t take it.
But Alexa and Bo will go positively ape stuff for the Spot “Micro Mouse” Radio Controlled Mouse.
From the Website:
Grab the controls & watch your kitty go crazy for this remote controlled mouse! You literally drive the mouse with the controller and watch your cat chase after it!!!
Too perfect!
The Aristocats Cat Food Line is a Hit!
Disney (a name that brings a smile to just about every face, including mine) has launched, mouse ears first, into the $75 billion global pet care industry ($36 billion in the U.S., alone) with lines of products for cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I believe they started with an Old Yeller line of dog food products.
I really first took notice when I saw their Aristocats Cat Food on the shelves at Kroger. Our babies love to try new goodies, so I bought one of each flavor. (On a side note, the cans are perfectly adorable, with scenes from the movie on the side.) This was, honestly, one of the only brands of cat food that our cats, unanimously, loved. Whiskas and Aristocats now stand as the only two “wet food” varieties that result in extremely happy cats and over-licked cat dishes around our house.
Prissy and Bo will absolutely eat anything you set in front of them. As though she was determined to prove it, the other day an olive fell off of my pizza and Prissy ate it before I could pick it up. Then she wanted more but I just couldn’t feel good about myself feeding olives to a cat.
Svenn and Alexa are pickier than Bo and Prissy. Usually, he only likes dry food (and only some brands, at that), but he threw himself into the Aristocats cat food. They’ve all requested that I grab more cans on my next Kroger trip. I’m a soft touch, so OF COURSE I’ll do just that!
Apparently, Disney is also planning to launch a line of cat products from the movie “That Darn Cat.” My test panel is looking forward to it!
Getting Your Cat to Take Her Medicine
Ingenious!
If you’ve ever had the “pleasure” of trying to convince a cat that taking a pill is a great idea, you know how clever these Pill Pockets for Cats
are.
The website promises to take the hassle out of giving your cat her pills - by taking the hassle out of the situation, I’m certain that means the scratches and hisses as well. Thanks be to God that my beloved Carly never had to have any medications. I doubt I’d be here today if that need had ever come up. I’d have gone down trying to help my girl, but her temper would have finished me off.
The Pill Pockets are available in two flavors: Chicken or Salmon. They’re made from all human-grade meats plus other high quality, healthy ingredients. Even Svenn would consent to give them a try.
Adorable Kitten Handbags
These beauties combine two of my favorite things in the world: Cats and Purses - I could never get enough of either one and, believe me, I’ve tried. And will keep trying.
These gorgeous bags are from Collectible Today. The one above is the Coynes Best Of Friends Kitten Handbag. The photograph featured on the purse is by acclaimed photographer Keith Kimberlin and is adorned with shimmering red and white crystals.
The purse below is the Coynes Best Of Friends Cat & Kitten Handbag and also features the work of photographer Keith Kimberlin and is offset with “necklaces” of red and white crystal.
Click either link to take a closer look at the bags and to oooh and ahhh over the prices - very, very reasonable. The website has other goodies for us cat lovers as well - bracelets, an adorable Rachael Hale Kitty Cat Tote Bag, figurines, etc. Check them out, you’ll be really glad you did.
Below is a third handbag from the site - from the same series as the ones above. Also freakin’ cute!!! - I honestly want all three.
