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.

24 Cat Toys with a 2-Way Cat Tunnel Spell the Purrfect Christmas Gift For Cats

By

Well this is a must have Cat Toy Collection if I ever saw one. It went right into my Amazon cart the minute I saw it. While I’m thinking that it’ll be a great gift idea for our cats on Christmas morning, I might just break it out earlier as a diversion from the tree, presents, and other decorations.

Every diversion helps with toddlers – whether they have fur or not!

The past few Christmases, in fact, we’ve kind of done a “25 Days of Christmas” thing with our cats where we give them a new toy or something extra fun each day to help keep them occupied and the tree standing! Some days it was as simple as a paper bag from the grocery store or an emptied Amazon box.

24 pieces cat toys include a collapsible Cat Tunnel (something our cats are obsessed with), Cat Teaser Wand, Interactive Feather Toy, Fluffy Mouse, Crinkle Balls, Balls with Feathers, etc.

Tree Cat Condo… What Cat Wouldn’t Love This?!

By

If you’re anything like THIS cat mom, you’re always on the lookout for things that’ll inspire, amuse, and entertain your cats – things that’ll rock their little worlds and blow their little minds. The cat tree condo, pictured above, would do all the above and then some.

As I said in a previous article, Tips for Keeping Your Indoor Cat Active and Entertained, boredom is one of the worst things for a cat. Indoor cats are more prone to boredom than outdoor cats, so it’s up to us to keep them on their tiny toes! Not only does it allow your cat to climb, it allows her to do her favorite thing in the world… hide and spy on her humans.

  • 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 2 carpeted perches of 22 and 18 inches in diameter.

Not only is this cat tree EXACTLY what your cat has been looking for all of her lives, it’s downright beautiful, isn’t it? It’d look great in any room of your house… especially with your adorable cat peeking out!

Cat Water Drinking Fountain: Purrfect in Every Pawsible Way! (Sorry, I Had To)

By

Our cats (like most cats) are absolutely infatuated with sinks… more specifically with sink water. When I make the faucet drip or when I create a small flow for them, they all but lose their little kitty minds! I’m not sure if it’s the fact that the water is extra cold or if it’s the fact that it’s moving – but there’s something about water from a faucet that makes them nose to tail happy.

Since I’m never happier than when my furry babies are nose to tail happy, I went shopping on Amazon for water drinking fountains. I’ve found the one we want and it’s shown here.

The PetSafe Cat Water Drinking Fountain is the best-looking one I found on Amazon and it carries a little “tag” I always look for when shopping on my favorite shopping site, “Amazon’s Choice.”  This screams, “QUALITY!” to me, so it’s the first thing I notice when shopping – especially when I’m shopping for something as important as cat products!

FEATURES

  • 100 oz. water capacity is great for pets of all sizes
  • Free-falling stream entices pets to drink more water
  • Includes replaceable carbon water filter that removes bad tastes and odors, keeping water fresh
  • Upper and lower dish provides two drinking areas for pets; elevated dish is great for senior or arthritic pets
  • Low-voltage submersible pump helps provide a quiet operation
  • Fountain is BPA-free and top-shelf dishwasher safe
  • Call, chat or email with our expert US-based customer care specialists six days a week at 1-800-845-3274; they are waiting to assist you and your pet with your product needs
  • PetSafe brand has been an industry leading US manufacturer of pet behavior, containment and lifestyle products since 1991, helping millions of people and pets each year.

After reading the features and description, I was 110 percent sold on this water drinking fountain. THEN I read the top reviews and I was even more sold on it. Talk about great feedback!

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.

Heated Cat Bed: Heaven on Earth for Cold-Natured Cats

By

The great looking (and So comfy looking too!) heated cat bed shown here is the K&H Thermo-Kitty Heated Cat Bed. It’s available on Amazon in four different styles/colors:

  • Mocha – pictured above.
  • Sage – pictured below (with a gorgeous occupant!)
  • Orange with a Fish Print
  • Lime Green with a Fish Print

While we tend to associate a heated cat bed with winter, our beloved cats would have us know that our air conditioning preferences often feel like winter to them! I know I have to keep an eye on our air conditioning settings in the winter because, if we go too low, they’re certain we’re trying to freeze them out!

A heated cat bed is appreciated by cold-natured cats year-round, not just during the winter.

  • Soft foam walls cuddle your cat in comfort
  • 4-watt, MET listed, dual thermostat heats to 102 degrees F when pet is present
  • Stays 12 to 15 degrees above room temperature when pet is not in bed
  • Recommended for year-round indoor use; plugs in to any household outlet
  • K&H Thermo-Kitty Heated Cat Bed measures 16 by 16 by 6 inches

Fancy Shmancy – Elevated Cat Feeding Station with Glass Bowls

By

Here’s something even the most pampered cat (I’m talking about you, Alexa) in the world can appreciate: a beautiful Elevated Cat Feeding Station with Glass Bowls. Cats are ALL about neatness and order, and the little OCD darlings love for their feeding area to be especially well-maintained and clean. This beautiful pet feeder does just that and I LOVE that the bowls are glass. They last so much longer and are easier to clean than plastic.

  • 15 Degrees tilted bowls offers easy eating and licking; raised 4” for optimum feeding position to promote healthy eating posture
  • Two 13 ounces bowls suitable for cats and small dogs
  • 4.25” wide bowls enhances comfort while eating
  • Dishwasher and microwave safe glass bowls are removable for easy cleaning and warming
  • Sturdy modern design with an anodized aluminum stand that lasts a lifetime

Gorgeous Red and White Outdoor Cat Condo

By

The beautiful red outdoor cat condo pictured above is probably the next thing I order from Amazon. I just absolutely love it! It’s so cute I think I’d want it in my yard even if I didn’t have outside cats.

Heck, if I could find the right spot, I’d want one for our inside cats as well.

  • Weatherproof cat/small dog house for outdoor use.
  • Fit large cats or small dogs. Inner dimension of the house:27.5″Lx17.5″Wx20″H
  • Easy to assemble with pre-drilled holes.
  • Bottom floor can be removed for easier cleaning,top roof cannot be opened.
  • Ideal shelter for outdoor cats or small dogs.

One of our outdoor cats (a beautiful orange cat named “Rita Hayworth”) loves to hang out on our back deck – in a different spot from the other outside cats. I’m thinking she’d love this crib!

This adorable little home would be ideal for feral cats, too. They’d greatly appreciate the wonderful place to stay dry and safe.
