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

By

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

By

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)

By

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.

By

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.

Beautiful Cat Kitchen Oven Mitts: Beautiful Gift Idea for Cat Lovers

By

Today’s gift idea for cat lovers is one I especially love – probably because I practically live in the kitchen waiting on my beloved cats’!

This gorgeous set of two of kitchen gloves (Amazon link) are so darn cute – and I love that the black and white colors would go with any kitchen decor or style.

  • 12″ in length means these kitchen gloves are long enough to protects your arms from accidental spills and burns (it’s almost always the top of the oven that gets me!). 
  • Machine washable and easy care.
  • Each kitchen glove has a “cat’s paw” loop for hanging the mitt on a hook if desired.
  • The inside of each oven mitt  is lined with soft cotton fabric.

Automated Cat Toy: Endless Fun and Entertainment for Your Cat(s)!

By

Okay, this is ingenious! The BurgeonNest Automated Cat Toy (Amazon link) is perfect for cats who love to play and be entertained (almost all of them, in other words). I can see all of my own cats loving this toy!

Like many cat families, we have inside cats as well as outside cats. The prime “indoor” living arrangement is a “first come, first inside” thing in our family. The ones who live inside with the family have been around longer and, frankly, have said “NO MORE ROOMS AVAILABLE,” so the rest of the family live just on the other side of the door in wonderfully constructed cat houses, a patio, and a carport all their own.

The indoor cats have some advantages and the outdoor cats have some advantages. One of the biggest advantages the outdoor family members have is endless entertainment, mental stimulation, physical activity, and an ever-changing environment to keep them sharp, engaged, and interested.

When it comes to indoor cats, we have to stay on our toes by providing similar advantages for them. Frequently adding new toys (and taking old ones in and out of the rotation), moving toys, new games, etc. help immensely. Busy, entertained, and mentally stimulated cats are healthier AND happier.

Beautiful Personalized Cat Christmas Ornaments

By

This Customizable Cat Ornament (Amazon link) is so beautiful, I’m going to have to order quite a few! Not only do I want some for our own cats, I plan to give several to family members for early Christmas gifts.

After all, nothing makes a cat lover any happier than something involving their beloved cats!

When you click through, you’ll see the different colors and styles this beautiful ornament is available in (you can even get more than one cat on an ornament). I can’t decide if I like the red or green best and I’m pretty torn between the round and heart shapes as well.

Fortunately, when you have as many cats as we do, you can order pretty much every conceivable option!

Mischievous Cat Garden Statue: Look Out, Gnomes!

By

This Mischievous Cat Garden Statue (Amazon link) is PRICELESS as far as I’m concerned… and I absolutely love gnomes! This would make a great gift idea for any cat lover with a sense of humor and a perfect decoration for a porch, patio, garden, or entryway.

Cats are like toddlers, though, so it’s spot on – doing the most unexpected, unprepared thing in the world… right in a cat’s wheelhouse! This statue isn’t just hilarious (perfect conversation piece), it’s gorgeous and very well-made.

The beautifully hand painted resin cat, with its adorable tiger stripes, is awfully handsome and the colorful gnomes (hanging on for dear life!) are so colorful and eye-catching. 

I’m in love with all of the details. Just look at the cat’s face!

See Mischievous Cat Garden Statue (Amazon link)  for a closer look. You’re going to love this beauty!

Self-Warming Cat “Cave” Bed (SO CUTE!)

By

With winter just around the corner, this great-looking self-warming cat “cave” bed (Amazon link) is just the thing my cats need. They’re such cold-natured little cuties, they would probably love it year round – they never seem to agree with the temperature we set the air conditioning on!

I love the cave shape, it’s probably one of the reasons a cat is able to pretty much heat the bed themselves. It seems to trap the body heat, making nap time all the more enjoyable.

I also love how darn cute it is – it looks like a giant yawning mouse, posed to even the score with all cats! We’ll keep that bit of descriptive information far, far away from our cats.

Details from Amazon:

  • Cave Bed. Small and enclosed space meets privacy, hideaway and make your kittens feel warm and safe. Classic tent-shaped cat house, very cute and timeless.
  • Overall Dimensions. 12L x 12W x 16H inches, entrance size: 6L x 8H inches. 
  • 2 IN 1 Sofa Bed. Enclosed bed can be used as a cozy cave to hideaway, enhances privacy and security. The top folds down to provide a lovely pet mat, open mat makes this an ideal bed for lounging cats.
  • Premium Material: Mainly made in crystal velvet fabric, filling: high elastic sponge and does not collapse on itself, very warm, soft and comfortable.
