Beware of Cat Wall Sculpture: You’re Going to Love This!

by Joi

Beware of Cat Wall Sculpture

This adorable Beware of Cat Italian Wall Sculpture: Attenti al Gatto can let your visitors know just what (or who) lies ahead! I figure it’ll be a great way to warn visitors to our home about Alexa. After all, she’s Carly’s descendant so wildness is completely in her blood.

Sigh. I still miss Carly. We’re saving $100s on band-aids, but I miss my little Holy terror.

Product Description:
Leave it to the Italians to come up with this imaginative way to warn trespassers! Our cat warning plaques tell the world that your furry friend’s a force to be reckoned with! Inspired by similar sculptures we saw in a small Florentine shop, these warning plaques are artistically sculpted just for Toscano before being cast in quality designer resin with a smart slate finish.

9½”Wx1″Dx10″H. 2 lbs.

See Beware of Cat Italian Wall Sculpture: Attenti al Gatto for a closer look. While on the site, you HAVE to check out their other cat (big and small cats) statues, wall sculptures, etc. They have an amazing collection.

Love Black Cats as Much as I Do? You’ll LOVE This Wall Decal!

Black Cats

I read somewhere recently that black cats were the least adopted cats in animal shelters and pet stores. As a “mommy” to two black cats (in addition to other black babies I’ve loved over the years!), this both breaks my heart and blows my mind. I can only guess that it has something to do with the ridiculous “bad luck” saying, but it’s the most asinine thing I’ve ever heard!

Black cats are some of the most gorgeous cats in the world. Their shiny black coat is beautiful and silky soft and the contrast between the beautiful black fur and their beautiful eyes is something that’ll stop you in your tracks every single time.

What’s more, my experience with black cats has been that they’re super sweet and loving. I’m not suggesting that a cat’s fur color influences their personality or disposition, necessarily, but I can say this with absolute certainty: I have never had a black cat that wasn’t uncommonly sweet and affectionate. We had a very small black cat once we named Rene Elise. I named her after a beautiful actress who was on daytime television at the time (on One Life to Live, actually!). Rene Elise was a hugger. Any time you picked her up, she’d put her little arms around your neck and stay that way the entire time you held her or carried her around. She was beautifully solid black with a little pink nose and white whiskers. She was an absolute doll and couldn’t have been sweeter if she were covered in sugar.

Hannah is a black baby with a little white on  her and, like Rene Elise was, Hannah is as sweet as winter is long. Sweeter. Jelly Bean is solid black and is also a sweetheart.  Very affectionate and loving – a big baby! Which is really something because he was born to a feral cat that I cared for and fed.  She rarely let me touch her and her babies were the same way for a long time.  But once Jelly Bean and Fatima discovered that I was on their side, they became TOTAL love bugs!

If you, or someone you know, ever finds yourself looking for a cat to adopt, why not bring home a couple of black beauties? They’re very regal and you won’t regret it for a single second. In fact, you’ll probably go back for more!

Adorable Cat Garden Statue

by Joi

Achla Designs Watchful Cat Garden Statue - CAT-03
The adorable garden cat statue shown above is the Achla Designs Watchful Cat Garden Statue – CAT-03.

Three of our four cats are outside babies (reformed feral cats are almost impossible to turn into house cats!), so our yard is beautifully decorated with the real thing. However, I would LOVE to have this beautiful garden statue in my flower garden. It’s just adorable. In fact, I’d also like one on the front porch… and one out back on the deck.

Cat lovers could, of course, enjoy this beauty inside as well as outside. It’d be beautiful sitting by the fireplace or on the hearth.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most beautiful art prints I’ve seen in a long time. Granted, I love cats like crazy and I’m something of a tea addict, but I’d love this even if I had a cat phobia and never met a tea I liked.

This one’s just stunning. Click through the image to take a closer look. Sigh. I think I want one in each room of my house. Extreme, right?

Fuddles: One Adorable Cat with a Story to Tell!

by Joi

Meet Fuddles! He’s a much-loved – and no doubt very pampered – beautiful cat who’s becoming a star. Hopefully he won’t let it go to his head. He’s Frans Vischer’s baby. Mr. Vischer, in addition to being a proud father to 3 without fur and one with, is a Disney animator. How unbelievably cool is that?

Frans says that observing Fuddles funny behavior inspired him to make his first picture book, Fuddles, which will be published by Simon & Schuster on May 3rd.

He also animated the book-trailer above. To read more about Fuddles and Frans, you’ll want to visit www.fuddles.net. I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this book. Alexa has worked up something of a crush on Fuddles.

She loves a cat who appreciates good food the way she does and, by all appearances, Mr. Fuddles knows his way around the food dish.

Fuddles by Frans Vischer

Fuddles is available for PRE-ORDERING on Amazon.

I’ve pre-ordered lots of books (and even dvds) on Amazon before and it works like a charm. As soon as the product is available – they send it right to you. I love it because it’s in your hands before anyone else really even knows about it. What can I say, that sort of thing sends me.

I’ll also put a link on the side of the website, so you can remember to order the book anytime you decide to. As a fanatical cat lover, I personally collect cat items (art prints, figurines, books, etc.) and can’t wait to add this to my collection. No doubt you feel the same way. Ahhh, cat people. We’re amongst the most passionate people on the face of the earth. But then again, given the objects of our affections, how could we not be?

Lessons from Stanley the Cat: The Ideal Gift for Cat Lovers

by Joi

I was recently sent a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful book to review for my websites titled Lessons from Stanley the Cat: Nine Lives of Everyday Wisdom.

This warm, funny, and very thought-provoking book was written by Jennifer Freed as a tribute to her beloved cat (a real character if there ever was one!) Stanley. Not only is the book a beautiful account of a very special little cat and the love he had for his human… and vice-versa… Lessons from Stanley the Cat: Nine Lives of Everyday Wisdom also serves as a self help and self improvement book, offering countless tips and lessons.

Lessons courtesy of Stanley!

The little book will become one of your favorites instantly – you’ll fall in love with the illustrations, the author, and most certainly Stanley.

Product Description

Seduction is just the practice of artful stretching.
Never let people know how fast you are. Appear slow in all things, and less is expected of you. When someone is on the computer too long, help them by distracting them, or walk lightly on their keyboard.

So advises Stanley, a remarkably astute cat with a keen eye for the important things in life. Perhaps you don’t have time for yoga, can’t afford therapy, or wouldn’t dare cry to mother. If so, let Stanley be your guide. Lessons from Stanley the Cat offers wise and witty maxims from Stanley himself, translated by his doting psychotherapist (human) parent, Jennifer Freed. Whether you’re a cat lover or prefer companions of the canine variety, Stanley’s warmth and insight are sure to brighten even the grayest days.

About the Author

Dr. Jennifer Freed is a psychotherapist, a radio show host, and a professor. She lives with her family in Santa Barbara, California. You can learn more about Jennifer at www.jenniferfreed.com. Tone Gellerstedt is a journalist and a graphic designer. She lives with her fiancé, Jonas, and their daughter, Lo, in Uppsala, Sweden. She works at her local paper and publishes books and artwork for her company, Artelligens.

I’d strongly urge you to buy several copies – one for yourself and one or more for the cat lovers on your gift list. This little book (costing just a little over $10) is the ideal book for a cat lover to have in their book collection. After all, we cat lovers love few things as much as fellow cat lovers – other humans who revere and love their cats as much as we do our’s.

The author of Lessons from Stanley the Cat: Nine Lives of Everyday Wisdom? Make no mistake about it, she’s our kind of people… cat people.

Click HERE right away and order your copies today. Act now and you’ll have Stanley’s lessons in time for Christmas!
