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

May 31, 2021 By Joi

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.

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

Cat Toys: Best Variety Pack I’ve Found is on Amazon

June 5, 2018 By Joi

Huck with Toy

A few years ago I found a way to BOTH make Christmas last all year long AND be able to actually afford to get the things for my family (with fur and without) without breaking the bank over a span of two months: I buy things throughout the year and hide them safely away. Most of my shopping is done on Amazon – which is where I bought this great Cat Toys Variety Pack from.

I intended to save it for Christmas morning and open it for our cats… but… well… as you can see, things don’t always go as planned.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys

When UPS brought the Amazon box, the cats came running. They know that an UPS delivery always, always, always means they get a new box to play with. When they gathered around, I couldn’t help but think what a fun afternoon it’d be if I gave them this gift early.

As you can see, the thought of it was more than I could fight off and we had a little Christmas in May party right then and there!

Dokkie and Cat Toys

Their excitement and joy was palpable and reminded me of kids… the ones that walk on two feet (generally) and aren’t covered with hair… on Christmas morning. Furry kids get just as excited – going in circles, not knowing which toy to play with first.

If you have cats, you know exactly what I mean when I say that I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves more – them or me.

Babies with Toys

This is a wonderful Cat Toys Variety Pack – it was even better than I’d expected it to be. For such a great price (between $12 – $13), I wasn’t sure what kind of quality to expect from each individual toy. I was surprised and delighted to see that the quality was excellent. Each toy is very, very well made and is standing up to intense play perfectly!

Cats with Toys

 

Features:

  • Contains Assorted 20 toys.
  • Keep your cat busy when you are away.
  • Give your cat a way to release his energy with this combo pack of entertaining toys. Featuring feathers, balls and catnip, mice and more this pack is the perfect choice for your furry friend.
  • supervise your pet. For play only. Not a child”s toy. Toy should be removed and replaced if excessive wear or damage occurs.
  • Holiday, birthday or everyday, this cat treats/toys gift set is just what your kitty ordered.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys 2

I tried to take several pictures to show off the variety of toys – as well as our babies enjoying them… but it’s very difficult to photograph excited, fast-moving cats!

Delilah, Dokkie, and Huck with Toys

The picture at the bottom is of Nacho and was taken a few hours after the toys had arrived and had been played with fiercely. Each cat was worn out (just like human kids!) and had found their own favorite place to recuperate and conserve energy. Nacho was in his favorite bed, resting up from all the activity – I pranced one of the toys in front of him and he sat right up.

Sure enough, he hopped back up and decided it was playtime again. The girls (one at a time) all joined in and we had another round.

In the weeks since, the toys are played with again and again. I like to gather them all together and present them like I did that day – the excitement is the same each time.

Again… I am not sure who enjoys it all the most, but I think she might just be typing these words.

Cat Sitting in a Bathroom Sink

Cat Sitting In Bathroom SinkCat Sitting In a Bathroom Sink

Like the good cat lover that I am, I absolutely love cat posters and cat art prints. I can’t get enough of them, if we’re being totally honest.  As far as I’m concerned, one cat picture is the greatest work of art in the world.

The cat art print above is a perfect example. It’s a clear case of a cat doing something kind of unusual (sitting in a bathroom sink in this case), while looking at her human like THEY’RE the one putting on a show!  The beautiful cat’s expression says it all.  What is my human doing now????

The gorgeous picture is also available on a t-shirt or framed art print (below).  Click through any of these for a closer look.

Janie, Falling Asleep in a Cereal Bowl…

June 21, 2012 By Joi

Janie

What? Don’t all cats sleep in cereal bowls?

Here’s a picture of my daughter Emily and her husband Dill’s precious and precocious cat Janie.  They adopted Janie from a local shelter when she was a baby and have had nothing but fun with her since.

I know they both wonder how in the world they ever got along without this hysterical little girl. She is such a character that character should be redefined!  Basically, the new definition for “character” should just be Janie.

If you have room in your home and room in your heart for a “shelter baby,” I hope you’ll give a precious cat like Janie a place to call home and a family that loves them to pieces.  Your world will never be the same.

Cat Lovers, Cartoonize Your Babies!

August 16, 2011 By Joi

My Baby Doll Hannah!

This is really super cute. Cartoonize My Pets is a fun spot for cat lovers.. any pet lovers for that matter. But, given the fact that this is a cat blog, we’ll stick with cats.  You create your own cat by choosing the features, colors, and expressions.  I’ve only tried two of my four cats so far.  Alexa proved far too difficult.  She has so many different colors going on in her beautiful hair that I just gave up.  Hannah was much easier (above!), since her beautiful little hairdo involves just two colors.

Visit Cartoonize My Cat and see how much fun it is for yourself.  You can use the image(s) you create on a full range of customizable products.  The possibilities for unique, highly personal Christmas gifts or birthday surprises boggles the mind.

* By the way, I wrote Hannah’s name on the image, myself. As far as I know, you’d be unable to write the cat’s name on the image on the Cartoonizer.

Outsmarting a Cat with Cat Scratch Fever

August 16, 2011 By Joi

Alexa and one of her beloved cardboard scratching post

Alexa, in the picture above, seems to be voicing her concern over the state of one of her beloved cardboard Super Scratchers.  I try to keep them changed out often because the girl is MAD about them.  We keep several of them in the house, near some of her favorite places to scratch.  More than any cat I’ve ever had the pleasure of being Mommy to, Alexa is a furry little ninja when it comes to scratching.  I have to work to stay a step ahead of her, but placing scratching posts in her favorite areas helps.

Thank goodness!

Cats love to scratch.  We have to remind ourselves that they have no idea they’re doing anything wrong. Scratching is as natural as eating and drinking for a cat.  Our approach has to be one of outsmarting the cat.  It’s absolutely impossible to make her NOT want to scratch.  Common sense dictates that we give our cats alternatives.  We can’t very well take the approach that they WILL NOT SCRATCH EVER AGAIN!  We’ll be woefully disappointed and our cats will think we’ve completely lost our minds.

If you have a ninja scratcher, too, give the cardboard Super Scratchers a try.  They’re in the pet sections of just about every store you can imagine and they’re ridiculously inexpensive.  They can help save your sanity, the furniture, the walls, the door frames, the drapes, and possibly your pants.  After all, we all know a cat’s philosophy…

Beautiful “MinJee”
We have inside and outside cats and we love them all like family. The beauty, above, is MinJee and she is as sweet as she is gorgeous.

If the spoiled inside crew would allow it, needless to say they’d ALL be inside. As it is, our outside cats have their own custom-built wooden homes and penthouses and, yes, they are all equipped with heating pads for the cold months.

We also feed and care for feral cats. Some honor us by following us home and allowing us to give them a forever home and to, more importantly, be their forever family.
