ADORABLE and Very Affordable Cat House from ASPCA

By

How adorable is this little cat house (Amazon link)? I love the designs on the sides (and the too cute for its own good chimney).

I’ve always looked, first of all, at the safety of cat furniture. This is most definitely safe. Then, I look at how much I think my cats will enjoy (and use) the furniture in question. I can easily see all of my cats enjoying this adorable little house. While it wouldn’t be sturdy enough for my outside cats, I definitely plan to get several (it’s a great price) for my inside babies.

Last of all, I do consider how it will look in the home. While it is most certainly not something that would make or break the deal (after all, I care more about my cats’ happiness and entertainment than I do decor), I do love it when cat furniture is cute and attractive.

This cat house certainly is that!

I also love that the “floor” is a scratching board – we all know how much cats love to scratch!

I had just been looking at a cardboard type house for cats on Amazon that was 5 times as much as this one is. Given that cats are tiny toddlers in fur, I didn’t want to pay so much for something that would probably not last two months, so I kept looking. Not only is this cat house (Amazon link) cuter and less expensive, it takes up less space – so, if you have more than one cat, you can buy however many you need.

After all, each furry baby likes having their very own space.

Details

  • ASPCA 2 in 1 cat house with scratching Board interior. Private place for your cat to rest and play
  • Cats love this pet bed house. Interior den-like hiding space for napping promotes nesting instinct. Promotes Paw health: The scratching motion of their feet keeps their paws healthy and strong, especially important to kittens, Adult and active pets
  • Catnip included: sprinkle some organic catnip on the cardboard while introducing the pad to a cat to entice your cats to scratch
  • Keep cats entertained and off of furniture. Easy to assemble all instructions and parts Included
  • Size: 19. 5x14x11 inches. Love it or money back

See cat house (Amazon link) for a closer look. I am so excited for my cats to have this!

Machine-Washable Cat Bed With Memory Foam… I Know, Right?!?!

By

Memory Foam is a BIG obsession of mine. Seriously, I wish everything I came into contact with throughout the day was made of memory foam.

When I saw this gorgeous Cat Bed with Memory Foam (affiliate link) on Amazon earlier, I knew I had to have it for our cats – it’ll take several of them, of course, because most cats aren’t real wild about sharing their bed.

Or toys.

Or food.

Or parents.

While this comfortable bed would be (and will be) perfect for all of my cats, I think the older ones will enjoy it the most. After all, they spend the most time in bed and their older bones will LOVE their new comfortable bed so much!

From Amazon:

  • MEMORY FOAM: The orthopedic memory foam chip cushion helps alleviate pressure points, forms to the body, and is ideal for pets with arthritis or other ailments. Memory foam keeps its shape and will not flatten over time.
  • SUPPORTIVE & COMFORTABLE: Ultra soft plush, a wraparound design, and deep walls provide warmth, comfort, and support. These features will help reduce anxiety in your pet by giving it a safe, comfortable place to sleep
  • PREMIUM QUALITY: Durable linen, super soft luxurious plush, and a quality construction ensure this bed will last over time.
  • PET-SAFE MATERIALS: Soft, high-quality fabrics and materials are non-toxic and safe for your four-legged friends.
  • MACHINE WASHABLE: Easy to clean, helping to keep homes odor, fur, and dander free. Simply machine wash in cold and tumble dry low or air dry.
  • SIZING: 18 L x 18 W x 6 H inches – ideal for cats of all ages (and most sizes). Works great as a small dog bed too. Measure your pet to ensure sizing is accurate.

See Cat Bed with Memory Foam (affiliate link) for a closer look. It’s available in brown or gray (shown here).

Beautiful “Fold and Move” Cat Tower and Cat Bed

By

I love everything about this beautiful Fold and Move Cat Tower and Cat Bed. For one thing, the beautiful gray goes with any decor or color scheme (it also doesn’t show cat hair as much as darker colors). I LOVE that there is room for the cat to scratch and play (with dangling balls… something that always fascinates furry babies) and the hidden bed and comfy hammock on top make it simply irresistible – to cats and their parents!

I also love that it can be folded for easy moving and transporting – whether your cat is taking a vacation or simply moving his/her favorite bed to another room.

I’m also crazy about the fact that the cushion in the “bedroom” is removable and machine washable.

  • Ideal for small spaces
  • Simply fold shut for quick and easy storage
  • Condo and toy lying hammock wrapped in soft plush
  • Natural sisal scratching surface
  • Removable cushion insert that can be machine washed

Gorgeous Self-Warming Cat Bed

By

Cats often have different ideas about the thermostat than their humans. I’m pretty sure cats would be perfectly content if the temperature stayed 80 degrees year-round.

Since most of us have little intention of living (or sleeping – can you imagine?!) in an 80 degree house, that leaves cats forever looking for a warm place to curl up and go to sleep. Whether it’s clothes from the dryer, the top of the refrigerator, or a spot in the sun, the best place to sleep to a cat is the warmest spot they can find.

That’s why heated beds are so popular with cats – they must feel, to them, like a nice comfy bed feels to us after a long day.

My favorite thing about the gorgeous heated cat bed, pictured on the left, is the fact that it’s “self-warming,” meaning there are no cords to worry about near your little one(s).

Features:

  • A layer of self-warming material in the pillow that reflects pet’s own body heat to generate warmth.
  • Cozy pet bed has a soft, ultra-plush sleeping area and fluffy polyester fiber filling for snuggling.
  • Round dog bed with raised sides creates a feeling of safety and a roomy sleeping spot for nesting.
  • Non-slip bottom with rubber dots stays put on any floors to ensure the stability.
  • Detachable, reversible, one-side water-resistant sleeping cushion provides all year round comfort

Cute Gift Idea for Cat Lovers: Cat Beard Mug

By

 Too cute! This unique Cat Beard Mug is the ideal gift idea for cat lovers with a sense of humor.

These beautiful glass mugs come packaged in a pretty box decorated with creative artwork, which is something  I LOVE. When giving gifts, I always feel good about the packaging looking as special as possible. Let’s face it, plain and beat-up looking brown boxes just don’t seem quite as impressive.

Because these are large drinking glasses, you can fill your cup with a generous amount of tea, cappuccino, tea, juice, soup, hot chocolate, or (my personal fave) a Chai Tea Latte that’ll last all night.

Enjoying a big mug of tea while watching  a great Golden Age of Hollywood movie with at least two cats within reach… that’s my kind of evening!
