Cat Tree Haven: Great Gift Idea that Might Save Your Christmas Tree

By

One of our cats recently had kittens so, needless to say, we’re already thinking about how “interesting” Christmas will be this year. The gifts, bows, gift tags, ornaments, candy canes, and shiny decorations throughout the house are going to be fascinating enough for these little balls of energy, but I have a feeling the Christmas tree might prove to be a nightmare.

How do you keep a tree standing when three little toddlers with fur are intent on bringing it down?!

When I saw this amazing Cat Haven Condo on Amazon earlier, I was struck with an idea… diversion! I mean it often works for children who walk on two legs, why not children who walk… make that RUN… on four?!

  • Cat condo designed for cats up to 32 pounds in weight. Easy to assemble cat furniture, less than 15 minutes, no tools required.
  • Cat tree house intended for indoor use, fits great in any room.
  • Cat tower perfect for jumping, scratching, climbing, and relaxing.
  • Made from pressed wood, carpet and artificial leaves, great for cats’ innate instinct of hiding within nature. Made in USA and Imported.
  • Square base, 24 inches covered with artificial turf and 3 carpeted perches 22, 22 and 18 inches in diameter.

The Kitty Pass Interior Cat Door: Cute AND Clever

By

This is pretty ingenious. We’ve all seen kitty doors that lead outdoors/indoors, but some of us don’t allow our cats anywhere near the outdoors. However, we could use a kitty door to allow them access to a door that may be closed (even if temporarily, like a bathroom door). The Kitty Pass Interior Cat Door is just the thing we need – without ever knowing we needed it!

Whether it’s an extra bedroom, laundry room, or basement door that is always closed or your bedroom or bathroom door that is often temporarily closed – this adorable door (I love that it’s cat head shaped) is purrfect.

Product Details:

  • The Kitty Pass is the safest and cutest way to let your cat in and out, of closed doors.
  • Smooth, Wide opening allows your cat to pass through SAFELY, without tails getting snagged or caught up.
  • No eye offending Screw Holes or logos, just beautiful clean lines that compliments your door perfectly.
  • Pass through opening is 7 1/2″ wide and 6 1/2″ height and can be used by all cats up to 20 lbs. Easily fits all standard interior doors with sizes, 1 1/4″ to 1.75″ thick
  • Comes completely finished in a beautiful semi gloss white, or you can easily paint it yourself, to match your homes decor.

The Kitty Pass Interior Cat Door would be ideal for those who have a litter box in a separate room – it would allow the cat to come and go, while having a little privacy. We all know how much cats enjoy their privacy. Click through for more details!

Cat Food or Water Dispenser: So Clean and Tidy!

By

When I first saw this Cat Water and Food Dispenser on Amazon, I had our outside cats in mind (less bug-infested water, birds won’t steal ALL of the food…) but the longer I look at it, the more I want to order four (two for the outdoor cats’ food and water and two for the indoor cats’ food and water).

There’s just something tidy and neat about the appearance – in addition to the pros mentioned above.

Product Description from Amazon

  • Small pet waterer uses gravity to ensure a consistent supply of fresh drinking water; ideal for cats or dogs in single- or multiple-pet homes
  • Extra-wide-mouth bottle holds up to 1 gallon of water
  • Base made of PP; water bottle made of transparent PET, which allows for checking water levels at a glance
  • Side cut-out handles along base for easy lifting; non-skid rubber feet for secure placement; easy-to-clean design; hand wash only
  • Measures 12.4 by 6.9 by 12.1 inches (LxWxH); weighs 1 pounds; backed by an AmazonBasics limited one-year warranty.

Spaceship Cat Bed… As Original as Your Cat

By

Talk about original – I’ve never seen anything quite like this wooden Spaceship Cat Bed!  I love the walnut color and the way the acrylic bubble is see-through, allowing your cat to keep an eye on everything and (better yet) everyone.

Four air holes allow for plenty of air circulation and provide your cat with the comfort he insists upon.

Product Description from Amazon:

For the past few years, we’ve been studying and designing the coziest bed for cat. After series of designing, field-testing, and remodeling, we are proud to present one of our finest piece of work, Spaceship Series.

Each component in Spaceship Series provides specific function; the transparent acrylic provides a secure environment by giving the cat a much wider eyesight; The four air holes on the body creates better air circulation and reduce the echo that may cause in a surrounded space. Just to make Spaceship Series more interesting, we design three types Spaceships, and they are Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

Alpha – with the shape of a capsule, provides larger space area for pet to sleep.
Beta – with the shape of a rocket, suitable for household with limited space.
Gamma – located on the wall, allows the cat to be perched viewing from above.

We like to welcome you to join this space fantasy with us, along with your meow of course.

Plush Fabric-Lined Cat Condo…. Oooh La La

By

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.

Personalized Cat Stocking… Purrrrfect!

By

Okay, how adorable is this? We all like our own personalized stockings for Christmas, right? It only makes sense that our cats should have a personalized stocking, too!

The Purrrsanalized Cat Stocking Shown here is available on Amazon and assures you that it’ll be on the way to your cat ASAP.

In fact, I was just on Amazon and they offered free delivery by Friday. Now that’s ASAP!

I love the fact that the the Stocking can be personalized and the little plaid cat and fish on the front are adorable. I also love the “Santa, I’ve Been Purrfect” quote on the stocking… whether it’s true of all cats or not, it’s too cute!

Cat Face Cat Lounge: Uncommonly Cute Cat Scratcher and “Recliner”

By

Okay, how cute is this Cat Face Cat Lounge? Our cats are absolutely crazy about corrugated cardboard scratchers and cat furniture. Cats just automatically seem DRAWN to anything cardboard, don’t they?

I haven’t met a cat yet who didn’t think cardboard scratchers were the best thing going!

This two-piece cat lounge has a cat face bed that pulls away from the cat-shaped head (love, love, love the ears). If you have multiple cats, like we do, this gives everyone their own place to sit.

Cats don’t just love to scratch, they NEED to scratch. Scratching is an enjoyable, instinctual form of exercising for cats. It is also a pleasurable experience for your cat and keeps her nails in tip-top condition. It’s also healthy exercise for your cat’s muscles, relieves stress and allows them to mark their territory…. a very important part of being a cat!

While the main reason we frequently buy cat scratchers such as this is the fact that our cats get so much joy and fun out of them, I also love the fact that the best way to keep cats from scratching woodwork, doors, walls, and furniture is to give them something they not only CAN scratch… but are encouraged to do so. 

Features

  • Sleek design made of eco-friendly, recyclable corrugated cardboard. Cats love the feel of cardboard!
  • Jumbo and durable: This lounge can accommodate 4 cats playing together at the same time. Your cats will enjoy a comfy curved lounger and cozy hideaway cave all in one.
  • Serves double duty as both a cat scratcher and lounge. 
  • For those of your looking for something that will fit the decor of your house, the neutral tones and pleasing shape will suit your aesthetics.
