Cat House with Scratcher and the Always Irresistible Catnip!

By

This adorable Cat House with Scratcher (it has a scratching board interior) and Bonus Catinip is one of the cutest things I’ve seen in awhile. Well, not counting the husband, kids, grandbabies, and (of course) cats.

I love buying these types of houses for our cats every now and then (they’re so inexpensive buying them frequently is no problem) – they love it even more than I do. They have so much fun exploring, scratching, and hiding from one another.

As soon as I saw this one, I threw it right into the Amazon cart without a second thought.

It’s just too cute!

 

  • 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

At $15, this Cat House with Scratcher (Amazon link) is a MUST HAVE!

 

I Want a “Me” Size Bed Like This Cat Bed!

By

Look at this beautiful, unique plush cat bed (Amazon link)! The donut-shaped, fluffy bed is designed to gently cradle and calm the lucky cat (or small dog, for that matter) who nestles inside.

It comes in two sizes and three colors: Pink (shown), light gray, and dark gray.

I love its great looks and the fact that it looks so incredibly comfortable. I also love the fact that, hanks to its unique design, the bed creates a comfortable, snuggly, and protective atmosphere for even the most high-strung cat!

Uniformly plush, it provides excellent and comforting head and neck support – providing for more comfortable deep sleep… a cat’s favorite past time!

This would be a great cat bed for any cat – from kittens to senior cats.

To tell the truth, I’d love one human size to sleep in, myself!  See plush cat bed (Amazon link) for more information and to see the beautiful different colors. The gray and pink beds would look gorgeous side by side.

Dark Gray Multi-Platform Cat Tree: Great-Looking, Sturdy, AND Very Affordable

By

While the dark gray Multi-Platform Cat Tree (Amazon link), pictured here, is ideal for cats with siblings, it’s also perfect for very busy cats who love to explore.

Keeping indoor cats entertained and maintaining their sense of fun and adventure is something I feel uncommonly passionate about. Outside cats have such variety – it’s as though no two days are quite the same for them… heck, often no two hours are the same. They have endless smells, sights, adventures – “finding fun” is not something they ever have to worry about and they seldom, if ever, get bored.

Our inside cats, however, have a much calmer world – and while it’s a much safer and more comfortable world, getting bored can be a very real danger. That’s why I love getting new, exciting cat toys (Amazon link) for them. While they have their favorite types of toys that I buy frequently throughout the year, my favorite thing to do is to find new toys with new sounds and sights they haven’t seen before. Their reactions are my favorite things ever!

The same is true for cat furniture. Our cats’ tree is just about ready to be replaced. They’ve done a real number on it! I can’t wait to introduce a fun new climbing, scratching, and hiding place for them to check out.

The beauty pictured here is a front-runner for me right now. I love the large platforms (perfect for stretching out and taking a nap on) and the dark gray color is perfection. I also love that scratching posts are involved. Our human furniture is especially thankful for this feature!

Features:

  • Multi-platform cat tree with scratching posts and enclosure
  • Tiered platforms provide space for your cat to relax, play, and climb
  • Helps keep your cat from damaging carpets, furniture, curtains, and more
  • Natural jute fiber scratching posts help keep nails healthy
  • Neutral color tones fit in with your home’s existing décor
  • Durable, long-lasting construction

See Multi-Platform Cat Tree (Amazon link) for more details.

Cat Welcoming Mat… Just So You Know, There’s Like a Lots of Cats in Here!

By

So I’ve found our new indoor welcoming mat! I’ve been looking for one to replace the one we have as you enter the back door and, boy oh boy, have I found the perfect one?! The Just So You Know There’s Like A Lots Of Cats In Here Mat (Amazon link) is fun, funny, and ever so appropriate.

I also love that it is worded in cat speech… “A Lots of Cats.” Adorable!

The mat measures 30″(L) x 18″(W) 3/16″ and a non-slip rubber back and a non-woven fabric top.

This one is sort of thin, so it is recommended for indoor use – either at an entrance or even at a cat feeding station.

It would be ideal for the door going from a garage into the home.

See Just So You Know There’s Like A Lots Of Cats In Here Mat (Amazon link) for a closer look. You can also find a LOT of outdoor welcome mats for cat homes on Amazon as well.

I love letting guests know who really and truly runs the home!

Temptations Treats and Amazon’s Subscribe & Save

By

I’ve always seen the “Subscribe & Save” service on Amazon but have never taken advantage of it. I love the convenience of buying from Amazon – whether it’s books, dvds, cat furniture, Christmas gifts, baby clothes (for our three little grandsons!), food, cat food, etc… but have never bothered to use “Subscribe & Save.”

Where has my brain been!?!

It doesn’t get much more hassle-free and convenient than allowing someone else to do all the thinking for you. Besides, less trips to the store means more time I have with my cats AND those baby boys I just told you about!

While it will be convenient to have all of my cats’ cat food delivered regularly, it is actually these Temptations Treats (Amazon Link) that have made me consent to try this feature. My cats (inside and out) are addicted to these treats. They lose their little minds for these yummies!

When you click through to see the Temptations Treats (Amazon Link), you’ll find the Subscribe & Save option – or, of course, you could just order a container of them and see how your cat(s) likes them. If they’re anything like mine, they will LOVE them.

  • Contains one (1) 16 oz. tub of TEMPTATIONS MixUps Treats for Cats SURFER’S DELIGHT Flavor
  • TEMPTATIONS Cat Treats are 100% nutritionally complete and balanced for adult cat maintenance
  • This irresistible cat treat has a unique pocket shape that is crunchy on the outside and scrumptiously soft and creamy on the inside
  • Under 2 calories per treat, these cat treats feature an irresistible array of chicken, cheddar, and catnip flavors that will have your cat meowing for more
  • Your cat can’t wait to get their paws on TEMPTATIONS MixUps Cat Treats
  • TEMPTATIONS brand is America’s #1 cat treat*
  • These tasty cat treats come in a unique stay-fresh pack with a closable lid that helps keep your best friend’s treats fresh

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
