VERY Colorful and Comfortable Looking Cat Beds… I Want One, Myself!

By

Okay, you absolutely HAVE to click through to take a closer look at this incredibly attractive and comfortable looking Cat Bed (Amazon link). It’s so big and plush and inviting – I would LOVE one human-size.

Only problem is, I’m not sure I’d ever want to get out of it!

This beautiful plush cat bed is so fluffy, you know it has to be every bit as comfortable as it looks. I also love that it’s doughnut-shaped so it cradles the cat, making him/her feel safe, secure, and oh so comfy.

I also love that the bed is machine washable – just throw it right into the washing machine!

The bed can be placed on carpet or hardwood floors because there are anti-slip silicone grips in the bottom fabric to help keep the bed stable.

Basically, they’ve thought of everything.

Click through for a closer look at this wonderful Cat Bed (Amazon link) – you’re going to love all of the gorgeous colors. The rainbow (shown) is so pretty, but I also love the dark gray, light gray and the purple ones. Decisions, decisions!

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.

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.

ADORABLE Scratching Post: I’d Love This Even if I Didn’t Have Cats!

By

This Mushroom Cat Scratching Post is one of the most adorable ones I have ever seen… bar none!

The post size is 15×12 inches, making it big enough for cats and kittens to enjoy, yet compact enough to easily move around the house without taking up too much precious space.

After all, a cat has to have plenty of room for their toys, food, and other pieces of furniture!

This adorable scratching post is available in brown (shown here) or grey.

When you click through and take a closer look, you’ll get a kick out of the realistic grass. I’m not lying, while we have 5 cats who would get a huge kick out of this scratching post, I’d buy it simply for the cuteness of it, alone!

How cute would it be on a carport or patio… and if you have outside cats, too, like we do, all the better.

See Mushroom Cat Scratching Post for more information.

Drinking Water Fountain… JUST What Our Cats NEED!

By

A Cat Water Fountain is something I’ve been meaning to buy, like, FOREVER. And yet… here I am still looking for just the right one for our cats. In my defense, I believe I have finally found the one. The PetSafe Drinkwell Cat Water Fountain (Amazon link) has everything I’ve been looking for and then some – for example, I  hadn’t even thought to hope for a dishwasher safe fountain. This makes it even extra wonderful.

Three of our cats are obsessed with drinking water from bathroom sinks. In fact, one (Delilah) even wakes me up at 4;00 am each morning so I can run water for her in our bathroom sink while she drinks (as I lean patiently against the wall, trying not to fall back asleep standing up!) for what seems like 10 minutes but is probably more like 2.

This fountain could give Delilah (as well as Guennie and Dokkie) the flowing water they so desire while allowing me to have the uninterrupted sleep I so desire!

  • Large Water Capacity: 168 ounce water capacity is great for pets of all sizes or multiple pets
  • Encourages Drinking: Free-falling stream entices pets to drink more water
  • Filtered Water: Includes replaceable carbon water filter that removes bad tastes and odors, keeping water fresh
  • Less Refills: Built-in reservoir increases capacity and extends time between refilling your fountain
  • Adjustable Stream: The pumps adjustable flow allows you to customize the water flow for your pet
  • Easy-To-Clean: Fountain is BPA-free and top-shelf dishwasher safe
  • EXPERIENCE and a Name Cat Parents Can Trust: PetSafe brand has been an industry leading U.S. manufacturer of pet behavior, containment and lifestyle products since 1991, helping millions of people and pets each year

See PetSafe Drinkwell Cat Water Fountain (Amazon link) for more information and a closer look.

Fun Cat Hammock Bed with a Modern Vibe

By

I love this GREAT looking Cat Hammock Bed (Amazon link) and I am certain any cat would be honored to sleep in it.

I love that it’s available in two colors (grey, shown, and pink) and, admittedly, love that it’s easy to assemble. I was not graced with a strong set of skills when it comes to putting anything together. That’s why I always smile whenever I see the magic words “easy to assemble.”

I also love that it’s easy to clean because one of our cats is known to carry food around with her – often to bed!

This particular cat bed can even be folded to carry with you when vacationing with your cat (not something I’d personally ever try with my group, but some people have calmer and more mannerly cats than we do).

See Cat Hammock Bed  for much more information and pictures. I love how affordable this beauty is.

By

One of our cats (Nacho – the handsome boy pictured below!) actually has a windpipe condition that makes it necessary for him to eat in a more upright position.

Gorgeous Two-Story Cat House with a Roof… This One’s Too Darn Cute!

By

In addition to our much loved inside cats, we have a healthy number of much loved outside cats (good thing we live in a rural area!). There are several feral cat families in our area I feed and look after (I even name every single one of them and know when I haven’t seen one in a day or two).

Since we live in the “country,” we also get occasional “drop off” cats (I could ring people’s necks that drop off animals to fend for themselves). Some of the drop offs and some of the ferals that I’m able to win over, actually move onto our carport and patio.

One of my sons-in-law has built three different large houses for them – they use them year-round but are especially thankful for them in the winter… probably because we heat them during the cold months.

If you don’t have someone in your family who is both an animal lover and happens to be gifted with woodworking, this gorgeous Two Story Cat House with a Roof (Amazon link to the house) is just what you’re outside cat(s) need!

The last time I looked at this gorgeous house, there was even a coupon for $10 off!
