Adorable (and FUN!) Flapping and Chirping Duck Catnip Toy for Cats.

November 16, 2022 By Joi

Here’s a fun cat toy your cat(s) are SURE to love,  the Flapping Duck Catnip Toy (Amazon link). Cats love toys that move, love cats that smell like catnip, and love toys that make noise.

This one does all three!

FEATURES:

  • Every time your cat touches this toy, the automatic built-in motion sensor kicks into action, making the adorable duck toy flap, flutters like a real duck. I love that it comes to life when the cat touches it, making the cat think he/she is completely in charge!
  • Not only does the toy flap and flutter around, it also makes noise –  lifelike quack sounds come out as soon as the cat’s playtime begins.. which, of course, will make the cat want to stalk, pounce, and chase even more.
  • Catnip is involved, which will delight any cat within reach of this adorable toy! It comes ..”with an extra of silvervine and catnip blend is included in the package, most cats can get excited and happy at the smell of silvervine and catnip.”
  • “USB Chargeable: this toy is USB chargeable which saves you from the hassle and costs to replace batteries. USB cable is included in the package. The included chargeable mechanism is detachable for convenient cleaning of the plush pet toy. The duck will stay dormant and quiet to save battery power when left alone.”

Please see Flapping Duck Catnip Toy (Amazon link) for a closer look and more information.

Automatic Cat Toy: Cats Lose Their Minds for These!

October 31, 2022 By Joi

A cat’s LOVE for chasing and “play hunting” is legendary. The look of concentration they get in their eyes, their “don’t pet me now, I’m busy” vibe, and their single-minded pursuit of what they’re after all amuse and astound me.

Such predators!

Interactive toys like this one prove especially interesting and challenging to them – emotions that are especially beneficial to indoor cats who, usually, don’t have a great deal of opportunities to exercise their hunting skills.

This wonderfully colorful (and very affordable) automatic cat toy (Amazon link) would make a perfect gift idea for any cat in your life – whether the gift is for Christmas, a birthday, or simply a “thank you for being mine” gift.

My favorite kind to give!

Rocket Cat Tunnel Tower (How Cute is This?!?!)

October 31, 2022 By Joi

Like most cat families, we love few things as much as we do actively spoiling our beloved cats. Our home is a haven for them.. plenty of warm, comfortable places to sleep, quiet places to eat and drink, and as many toys as any spoiled only child would have (trust me, as one… I’d know.. I was one!)

I am completely in love with this great-looking Rocket Cat Tower (Amazon link) and can’t wait to see our cats “take off,” if only in their imaginations!

The well-made cat tunnel/tower comes in blue (shown) or gray – both are absolutely beautiful and would make purrfect Christmas gift ideas.

Cat Measuring Spoons: Great Gift Idea for Cat Lovers who Love to Cook

October 28, 2022 By Joi

This post represents two of my all-time GREAT loves… cats and cooking (ABSOLUTELY in that order!).

This adorable cat measuring spoon set (Amazon link) would make the perfect gift for anyone who shares these two loves. I love the colors – gray and white go with any kitchen decor and the faces are beyond precious.

The only problem is they’re almost too cute to use. I’m pretty sure I’d hang mine on the wall or display them prominently on a kitchen shelf.

See cat measuring spoon set (Amazon link) for more information.

Gorgeous, Deliciously Unique Cat Tree With “Nest Beds”

October 14, 2022 By Joi

The gorgeous Modern Cat Tree Tower (Amazon link), pictured here, is unspeakably gorgeous! Most importantly, I can’t imagine a cat in the world not loving every bit of this great cat tree.

The two “nest-style beds,” pom poms for hours upon hours of playtime, and fascinating branches that beg for clawing would make any cat feel like the pampered baby it is.

I also love the colors – there’s something relaxing and peaceful about them AND they go with any decor.

The sturdiness and size is accommodating to larger cats and, fortunately for families like mine, multiple cats.

Please see Modern Cat Tree Tower (Amazon link) for more information. While this would be a great Christmas present for any cat or cat lover, I can’t imagine waiting until then!

Machine Washable Donut-Shaped Cat Bed, Inexpensive and Gorgeous!

July 9, 2022 By Joi

Beautiful! I absolutely love this gorgeous Washable Donut-Shaped Cat Bed (Amazon link). It’s available in a variety of gorgeous colors, to blend in purrfectly with the room your cat is gracing at the time:

  • beige
  • brown
  • gray
  • light pink
  • rainbow
  • coffee
  • dark gray

Each color is gorgeous and I am having a devil of a time making my mind up. Just when I think I want the beige (pictured), I take another look at the pink.. then when that’s all but a “done deal,” I go back to the beige or give the colorful rainbow (the sherbet colors are so peaceful and lovely). I think I’m leaning to the rainbow colored bed at the moment, but I can’t make any promises!

See Washable Donut-Shaped Cat Bed (Amazon link) for a closer look and to check out the beautiful colors. I think you’ll be as stumped as I am. The good thing is, this is an inexpensive bed, so buying two or three isn’t out of the question.

Adorable Japanese Style Tea Kettle for Cat Lovers

June 5, 2022 By Joi

One of the fascinating things I’ve discovered about most cat lovers is that they are also very passionate about tea.

Smart group!

When I saw this gorgeous Japanese Style Tea Kettle Set (Amazon link), it reminded me of just what excellent taste we cat lovers have!

  • This gorgeous Tea Set comes with one 20 oz teapot, 4 teacups and a tea strainer.
  • The teapot measures approximately 4″W x 6″L x 4″H and teacup 3″H x 2.25″W x 2.25″L. 
  • The teapot features a durable rattan handle.
  • Cats are beloved in Japanese and many oriental societies! They symbolize luck and are cherished (as they are most places) as members of the family.
  • Makes an ideal gift for a wedding, birthday, Christmas, house warming or birthday.
  • Beautiful for displaying AND using.
  • While they’re dishwasher safe, handwashing is recommended.. personally, I wouldn’t dream of putting these beauties in a dishwasher!

Gorgeous Succulent Planters for Cat Lovers (Great Gift Idea)

November 13, 2021 By Joi

These gorgeous cat succulent planters (Amazon link) are  from the same people who make the black cat butter dish I recently blogged about and fell in love with (see here).

Well, they’re at it again because I want (need) these succulent planters every bit as much as the butter dish!

I love that, like the butter dish, this gift for cat lovers also comes beautifully boxed and ready to make the gift giving and receiving an even more wonderful experience. I just love it when companies pay extra attention to the way they package their items.

It means so much to me!

These gorgeous plant pots are securely set in foam to ensure they’re in perfect condition on arrival. 

Succulents are not, of course, included, so you can either pick out three to put in a gift basket along with these beautiful planters or simply allow the gift recipient to pick out their own. Either way, this makes an outstanding gift idea!

See cat succulent planters (Amazon link) for more information and a closer look.

Beautiful Black Cat Butter Dish (Makes a Purrfect and Unique Gift Idea!)

November 10, 2021 By Joi

Okay, so this couldn’t be any more adorable if it were paid in catnip. Not only is this gorgeous black cat butter dish (Amazon link) the purrfect gift idea for cat lovers and cooks, it’s the purrfect gift idea for me!

Basically, I just bought myself a Christmas gift, to me/from me. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself, right?

I have quite a few cat lovers on my Christmas list and each one would absolutely love this gorgeous and perfectly unique butter dish. (They also have a precious Dachshund one for dog lovers. But don’t tell my cats I pointed this one out… they’re sulkers, every last one of them).

  • Gorgeous and Highly Unique gift idea. The best gifts are those that make someone say, “I’ve never seen this! I love it!”
  • Perfect for Any Kitchen.  These butter dishes are so beautiful they will go with any kitchen theme or color scheme.
  • Beautifully Gift Packaged: This is something I always look for when shopping for gifts. I want the experience of receiving the gift box, itself, to be a beautiful and memorable one. This is packaged so beautifully!

Take a closer look at the black cat butter dish (Amazon link) – seriously, y’all, I cannot get over how beautiful this is.

MinJee

Beautiful “MinJee”
We have inside and outside cats and we love them all like family. The beauty, above, is MinJee and she is as sweet as she is gorgeous.

If the spoiled inside crew would allow it, needless to say they’d ALL be inside. As it is, our outside cats have their own custom-built wooden homes and penthouses and, yes, they are all equipped with heating pads for the cold months.

We also feed and care for feral cats. Some honor us by following us home and allowing us to give them a forever home and to, more importantly, be their forever family.
