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

June 15, 2021 By Joi

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.

I Threw These Catnip Toys RIGHT Into My Amazon Cart…

May 20, 2021 By Joi

Like most cats, our perpetual toddlers are obsessed with catnip toys. We buy them frequently for them because they get almost as big a kick out of playing them as we do watching them play.

I was on Amazon, earlier, looking at French Butter Crocks of all things when the “inspired by your buying history” got me sidetracked with (shocking!) cat toys. As soon as I saw this set of 5 Catnip Toys (Amazon link), I just threw it right into the cart… it landed right on top of the French Butter Crock.

They’re available in three different multi-color combinations and each is great-looking.

I love the size of these catnip toys – they’re bigger than a lot of toys and I know our cats will get a huge kick out of them. I also love that they come in a pack of five – if your house is a multi-cat house, like our house, you’ll love having plenty to go around. If you have one spoiled rotten baby, you’ll have a nice rotation of catnip toys for him/her to enjoy that’ll last for months.

Features:

  • Perfect Gift: The cat chew toy has catnip inside a breathable fabric, allowing cats smell the catnip easily.
  • Bite resistant: Fine suture of this cat toy makes it durable for biting.
  • Safe and High Quality Material: More Durable Cotton Linen
  • Stuffed with Soft PP Cotton and Natural Catnip
  • Helping reduce your pets’ boredom and separation anxiety by killing time with the chew toy and the catnip toys for cats are ideal for cats to play indoor or outdoor.

See 5 Catnip Toys (Amazon link) for a closer look.

April 17, 2020 By Joi

As someone who has had feline children all of her life (and always more than one, mind you), I’ve seen my share of cat toys. In fact, on any given day and at any given hour, I can be found within two feet of at least one.

It’s not unusual to wake up with one on my pillow!

A cat toy I just saw on Amazon, a Moving Fish Cat Toy, is one I plan to buy for our cats soon… I just hope it never lands on my pillow.

From Amazon:

  • Moving Cat Kicker Toy – Whenever your cat touches it, the built-in motion sensor of the cat fish toy will automatically swing or sway to attract the cat’s attention. When you are not at home, this fish is the best playmate of the cat
  • Plush Material, Soft and Comfortable – Made of high-quality plush fabric, filled with pp cotton and organically grown catnip, Moving cat kicker fish toy has a calming and relaxing effect on cat mood. Soft and comfortable
  • Easy to Clean with Zipper Design -The plush flopping fish can be washed and replaced, and the infused chargeable motor is detachable for convenient cleaning of the plush toy
  • USB Chargeable – The interactive pets chew bite can be recharged in cycles, and the USB cable is included in the package, which can save huge battery costs
  • Safe and Durable – A very realistic fish shape that attracts more cats’ attention. Using 3D printing process does not make products fade, safe and non-toxic. It can not only bring a lot of fun to the cat, but also strengthen the cat’s daily exercise and make it more lively and healthy

November 10, 2019 By Joi

Of course you buy toys for your cat(s) for Christmas – those of us blessed enough to have cats in our lives treat them like the tiny furry children that they are!

If you’re anything like me, you not only buy them toys for Christmas, you’re often guilty of giving them some of their toys early!

Cat Tunnels: Endless and Exciting Fun for Cats!

September 26, 2019 By Joi


All good cat parents know just how important it is to provide plenty of fun and excitement for their “babies.” Cat boredom is a very real and very sad reality. A healthy and happy cat is one who doesn’t have a boring day in his or her life!

Naturally this means making sure our cats have interesting toys, furniture of their own, and different opportunities to explore and play.

Cat tunnels aren’t just fun for cats, they’re CRAZY fun for cats. The 3-Way Leopard Print Cat Tunnel pictured above is available in the leopard print as well as a variety of other patterns/colors.  Floral and giraffe print are just a few of the others.

 

A Few Tips for Providing Exciting Fun for Your Cat:

  • Rotate your cat’s toys (keeping their absolute favorite toy available at all times, however!). Tuck some away and bring out new ones – this keeps your cat interested and excited. It also helps the toys last longer.
  • Buy some catnip spray to add a little extra fun to your cat’s toys. Catnip Spray is also great when introducing your cat to a new bed, cat tree, or scratching post.
  • Always, always, always keep safety in the front of your mind. Check and double-check all cat toys to make sure there are not parts that can get stuck in your cat’s throat. Also, keep in mind that gift wrapping ribbon is a huge chocking hazard.
  • Never underestimate a good old-fashioned cardboard box. My cats often enjoy the box their toys or furniture arrive in as much as the gift, itself. Fortunately, the toys and furniture last longer… they look a lot better too!

Plush Fabric-Lined Cat Condo…. Oooh La La

March 23, 2019 By Joi

The Trixie Fabric-Lined Cat Condo (pictured here) is a heckuva lot of fun just waiting for a lucky, pampered, and most of all loved cat to enjoy. Any good cat parent knows that keeping a cat entertained and engaged is good for her physically, mentally, and emotionally. Providing your cat with novel, new, and exciting opportunities keeps her on her toes… and adorable toes, at that.

I love everything about this cat condo – its great looks, reasonable price, and the many opportunities for a cat to explore and enjoy. She can even hide out inside and plan her sneak attack.

We all know how much cats love the sneak attack.

I also love that it’s compact and close to the ground, meaning that even the clumsiest cat will be perfectly safe from harm.

One of my cats, Alexa, fits this description perfectly. Even she couldn’t cause a disaster with this cat furniture.

When it comes to keeping things fun and exciting for indoor cats, we like to rotate cat toys, scratching posts, and even cat furniture. It makes each of their treasured possessions last longer but, more importantly, it keeps things fresh and new for them – something outside cats are awarded with, by God, on a daily basis.

We have to provide the fun and variety for inside babies.

Features:

  • Wrapped in soft plush inside and out
  • Condo lined in plush fabric
  • Natural sisal scratching surface
  • Dangling plush toys inside

Product Description:

The Topi Cat Condo will provide endless opportunities for your cats to play, scratch, explore or just relax. This stylish piece of cat furniture combines the best of both worlds: a condo hideaway and a scratching surface. Felines can sharpen their claws on the large scratching surface wrapped in durable sisal instead of on your furniture or carpet. If a nap or a place to hide is in order, the cat can crawl inside the kitty condo which is covered in plush fabric both inside and out, making it the perfect retreat. Feeling a little spunky? Taunt the plush toys suspended inside, sure to peak your little hunter’s interest. Suitable for cats of all ages and activity levels. One year warranty. Color: chocolate brown. Dimensions (inches): 18 x 12 x 13; condo opening 6 x 6. Weight: 3 pounds.

This Cat Furniture with Scratching Surface is available on Amazon – click through for a closer look and more information.
