Healthy, Easy-to-Use Cat Water Dispenser (So Much More Appealing!)

By

One of my daughters and I were talking about clean cat water earlier and I got to worrying that the water I provide for our inside and outside cats may not be as clean as it needs to be or as clean as I’d want it to be.

I mean, I provide fresh water for our cats throughout the day. When it’s hot outside, I change our outside cats’ water dishes frequently BUT I don’t always wash the water bowls after each change. I got to thinking about that… gross! I mean, I wouldn’t always just pour tea or coffee into my cups or mugs without washing them after each use.

Suffice to say, I cleaned everyone’s bowls then and there! I’ve also started looking into ways to provide safer, healthier water for the cats that I love so very much.

The Water Dispenser (Amazon link) pictured here is the one I have decided on. I’ll order one for inside and one for outside.

Product Description:

  • Designed to be simple to assemble and clean.
  • Your pet’s drinking water is kept clean, healthy, and safe.
  • There is a special anti-slip mat at the bottom.
  • Transparent drinking buckets can be used to directly monitor the amount of water in a bucket and replenish it at the right time.

Fun, Interactive Rug for Cats: Like Their Own Little Playground

By

My youngest daughter and I were in a store, earlier, looking for rugs for our outside cats. They normally wander around the property (we live in the country, so there’s plenty of room to explore!) each day but when the weather is especially hot or especially cold, they don’t leave the carport or patio! I love for them to have special rugs, seats, and houses to lounge in and on.

Basically, they’re every bit as loved and spoiled as our inside cats.

We never found the rugs we had in mind, so I jumped on Amazon when we got home.

Bullseye!

Not only did I find a rug like I had in mind… I found one even better! This interactive cat rug is a comfortable place for cats to sit and sleep AND is like a little playground for them at the same time. When you click through the link, you can read a lot more about this extra special rug. It’d be idea for indoor cats or outdoor cats.


Succulent Planters for Cat Lovers (LOVE These!)

By

These are absolutely beautiful. This set of six little succulent planters is idea for windowsills, countertops, or for grouping together on a table (indoors or outdoors). We are huge fans of both succulents and cats in our family, so these fit us purrfectly.

As it is, we have a variety of succulents in different planters on a large concrete patio table – I really love the idea of having a set of matching planters.

Thing is, I also want a set for using strictly indoors. These would be adorable in the bathroom or kitchen. Hopefully I can make up my mind before they arrive!

These six little succulent planters are made of glazed ceramic and are individually hand painted by a master artist. They ideal for planting live mini succulents or artificial small cactus plants or flowers.

The fact that these beauties come handsomely packaged in a colorful box means they’re perfect for gift giving. I just love these so much!


Building the Perfect (Rather, Purrfect!) Catio: A Patio for Indoor Cats to Enjoy!

By

I love this idea… a “catio” for indoor cats to get a taste of the great outdoors. To be perfectly honest, I’d love a “catio” for our outdoor cats just as much – one that is accessible for them (and us!) from the outdoors, but not from the indoors.

As it is, they have a carport, multiple wooden cat houses (with roofs and little doors) and a nearby barn they can get in when weather is foul, but a “catio” all their own would also be extraordinary.

I can, of course, see the beauty of a “catio” for inside cats too. My oldest daughter and her husband have an enclosed porch that has pretty much been turned into an exclusive catio. The ideas in this infographic are fantastic, I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do!

Baby Blanket for Cats… Yes, Baby Blanket for Cats!

By

Okay, I love this to distraction. This soft, fluffy blanket for cats (Amazon link) or other small pets is exactly what I need in my home… of course, I’ll need 5 of them, so each cat gets her or his own. Cats are funny little beings, after all, and very much LOVE having their own possessions.

I have a confession to make, I have bought baby blankets for my cats for years. I discovered with my beautiful Alexa (pictured below… I still miss her so much!) that cats enjoy sleeping on blankets that smell like them. When Alexa got older, I would put her baby blanket in the dryer after supper because she always came and got in my lap in my our favorite chair in the evening – she loved having her momma AND her warm blanket waiting for her.

This beautiful  Ompaa blanket for cats (Amazon link), however, looks much sturdier and would last a lot longer than traditional baby blankets. The plushness would also be more agreeable to a pampered fur baby.

Bo and Adam

Features:

  • Fluffy pet blanket is made of safe and stain-resistant material to stand up to washing and drying for years without shedding or shrinking.
  • Soft pet blanket combines 200GSM faux long fur reversing to 280GSM sherpa fleece fabric, which is reminiscent of a mother’s hug!
  • This pet blanket provides protection from stains, spills, and pet fur when placed on furniture (not that I, personally worry about any of that but some do)
  • Small ( 20″ x 30″ ) pet blanket is perfect for small dogs, puppies and cats.
  • Would be ideal to use in carriers or in cars. Trips to the vet (or anywhere the cat’s schedule takes him/her!) would be much less stressful when their favorite blanket is along for the ride.

The blanket for cats (Amazon link) is available for under $8 right now, so if (like me) you’ll need more than one, now’s the time to order.

Her Majesty, Alexa

Beautiful Alexa
