Too Cute: Cat Superhero Print Set

October 26, 2020 By Joi

I can’t help myself, it seems.. anytime I find something for a cat lover on my Christmas list, I end up wanting it for myself, too!

This 3 Piece Cat Superhero Set (Amazon link) is ideal for cat lovers of any age – especially the ones who truly understand the REAL superheros in the world walk on four paws, have whiskers, and never met a bag of catnip they didn’t love.

The 3 Piece Super Hero Cat Art Print Set comes unframed which, actually, is a good thing because you or the gift recipient can choose the frame color and style you like best.. Each print measures 8 x 10 inches.

This is just one of the many great gift ideas in Amazon’s “Handmade” department. This department features some of the most creative artists in the world and I find at least 10 things I “need” each time I wander their cyber aisles.

From Amazon: This super hero cat vintage dictionary art print set has a wonderful style and look that would work with any bedroom décor. Display them as a 3-piece collage above a bed, dresser or any area in your child’s bedroom. Add a specific style or color frame to tie in to your specific room’s theme or décor.

You’ll definitely want to take a closer look at this 3 Piece Cat Superhero Set (Amazon link)!

Cat Christmas Stocking, Toys, and Even a Bandana!

October 10, 2020 By Joi

I (like so many of you) get a huge kick out of buying things for my cats – whether it’s Christmas or simply any other day of the year.

There is something extra fun about buying toys for furry kids at Christmas time, though.

I absolutely love the Christmas Stocking with Cat Toys (and bandana!) (Amazon link) pictured here. You’ll want to click through to see, not only this adorable cat and toys bigger but other precious cats wearing the bandana as well. Trust me, the cuteness is NEXT LEVEL!

The bright and festive Cat Christmas Toys set includes a holiday bandana for your cat and catnip toys, crinkle balls, bell toys and ball toys (total 10pcs cat toys).

Not only would this make a wonderful early Christmas gift for the cat(s) in your life – or even cats in someone else’s family – this would be a very thoughtful, unique, and fun gift idea for any cat lover.

See Christmas Stocking with Cat Toys (and bandana!) (Amazon link) for more information.

I love this beautiful Cat in Christmas Lights T-Shirt (Amazon link)! It’s available in Mens, Women’s, and Youth and comes in a variety of great colors: Black, Cranberry, Silver, Green, and Navy.

This one is actually too cute to count as a “funny Christmas tee” -it’s just a “great looking Christmas tee!”

Two-Piece Kitchen Rug Set for Cat Lovers (SO CUTE!)

September 30, 2020 By Joi

We cat lovers don’t just love to surround ourselves with real furry, meowing, treat-demanding cats, we love to surround ourselves with figurines, pictures, knick knacks, and anything else that celebrates the animal we love with all of our heart.

This beautiful colorful 2 Rug Set with Cats (Amazon link) has caught my eye and I don’t think I will be able to rest until they’re in our kitchen. These would look gorgeous with white or gray appliances, too, but I think they’re going to be a real show stopper with our black appliances.

I love everything about these rugs and the fact that they’re so affordable (less than $20 for both) make them great gift ideas too (as long as you know the person well enough to know they could use these in their kitchen… or laundry room or bathroom).

Since I know myself pretty darn well, I feel 110 percent safe in buying these for myself… from myself!

The description sounds like they’d be ideal for any room (or foyer, porch, or doorway) you could think of.

Features:

  • bsorbs water and dries quickly, protect your kitchen from moisture and stain
  • Imitation linen fabric material surface with unique pattern, non-Skid backing, fade and wear resistant
  • Package includes 2-piece rugs: 17×48 in. and 17×24 in. (43x122cm+43x61cm), l shape mat set perfect for kitchen
  • Easy Care: Machine Washable, low pile height for easy to clean and vacuum, thin design to be Placed in any setting fit under doors well
  • Multi-purpose: Suitable for laundry, doorway, outdoor, kitchen, foyer, bathroom, bedroom, balcony, porch, entryway, let your floor look more simple and clean

This adorable stocking (Amazon link) is one of my favorite cat stockings I’ve seen so far this year. I love the “cabin” feel it has, with the beautiful plaid design.

Adorable Gift Idea for Cat Lovers (Tell Santa I’m Going to Need About 10)

September 21, 2020 By Joi

I have always been obsessed with two particular things: cats and plants (flowers, trees, succulents…). Needless to say, when the two loves collide, I’m in paradise.

I love the beautiful little artificial plant in a cat planter (Amazon link), shown here. It’s absolutely adorable.

I have quite a few artificial plants on shelves and bookcases in our home – they’re the best kind of plant:

  • They never die.
  • They never wilt or look any less lovely than they do from day one.
  • You don’t have to water them.
  • My favorite: You don’t have to worry if they’re safe for your cats to eat.

I already have the perfect place for this little beauty picked out in my den… only problem is, I know of a perfect spot in one of the bathrooms. Oh… and the den…

You see my dilemma.

From the Seller Greathouse Trading Company on Amazon:

  • Artificial Succulent Plants: For 30 years, our family business has been providing quality artificial plants to homes across the globe. We inspect and hand select each item in our collection. Picking one of a kind items made with care and quality.
  • Works with any style decor: Farmhouse, Modern, Contemporary, Rustic, Bohemian, Channel your inner Joanna Gaines Magnolia Market
  • Room Decor and Decorations that Last Forever: Have a tough time keeping your plants alive. With this artificial fake faux succulent plant, you will never need to worry about your plants again.
  • Airbnb Easy to Care For: Just lightly wipe or dust your potted succulent every few months and your plants will look great for years to come.

I love that the company has been making artificial plants for 30 years… they should know what they’re doing!

See artificial plant in a cat planter (Amazon link) for a closer look. The more I look at this adorable cat, the more rooms I think she’d be perfect for!

Adorable Cat Paws and Claws Cups: Fun Gift Idea for Cat Lovers

September 16, 2020 By Joi

When it comes to giving or receiving gifts (or anything in life, really), I love the off-beat and unexpected. They add a certain extra level of fun to life that I find irresistible. These adorable Cat Paws and Claws Cups (Amazon link) are a perfect example.

I mean, let’s face it, how often do you see anything this cute??

I love the wonderful designs on the “legs” and “paws,” but my favorite part is the bottom of the cups – the little jelly beans on the foot pads always send me, so I love that they’re included here.

These glass cups are perfect for any beverage: coffee, milk, tea, juice, hot chocolate, espresso, latte.. hot or cold, doesn’t matter.

These adorable cups (which come as a set of three) are ideal gift ideas for anyone, any age. The only prerequisite is that they love cats, love fun, and… well… happen to drink!

Take a closer look at these Cat Paws and Claws Cups (Amazon link) on Amazon.

Willow Tree Angel Holding a Cat (Love this So Much!)

August 15, 2020 By Joi

I am ALL ABOUT surrounding myself with things I love (almost as “all about” it as I am about surrounding myself with people and cats I love).

Everywhere in our home you’ll find purple (my favorite color), old Hollywood collectibles, books, cats, pigs, old movies, plants, flowers, Rachael Ray kitchen gadgets… okay, Rachael Ray everything…  I Love Lucy collectibles, and angels. Lots of angels.

It may sound a bit much, but I want there to be something purple and at least one angel figurine  everywhere you look. As I sit at my computer, I can see an angel figurine nearby with the word Hope on her dress.

Love her and her attitude!

A few of my angels are Willow Tree angels, like the gorgeous Angel Holding a Cat pictured here. I am not at all sure how this angel-loving, cat-loving collector doesn’t have this particular angel yet, but I intend to take care of that right away.

And by right away, I mean, excuse me while I go throw something in my Amazon cart….

The Magic of Cats… Because We Could All Use a Little Magic Right Now

July 16, 2020 By Joi

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats

I’ve always loved the Chicken Soup for the Soul books and have always gotten excited when a new one hits the shelves (or in the modern era, Amazon). I’m EXTRA EXTRA excited about the newest book, The Magic of Cats, for three distinct reasons.

First Reason… 2020

2020 has been trying, to say the least. Every single day, we read about (and pray for) people who are sick or families who have had to say goodbye to loved ones they were in no way ready to say goodbye to. You simply can’t see these gut-wrenching real life events DAILY without them affecting you. The more empathetic you are (I’m a solid 10 out of 10 on the scale, myself), the more you feel each loss and sympathize with each tear.

This year, as much as any year I can remember, has caused me to focus on one of my favorite “focal” words: BALANCE. We have to make a point of balancing the negative with as much positive as we can and we have to respond to the ugliness with as much beauty as we can find or muster.

My favorite ways to bring balance into my world are prayer, family (which includes our cats, of course), inspirational reading, cooking, old movies, flower gardening, and classic television. Balancing acts such like these keep what’s out there from eating you alive from the inside out.

Chicken Soup for the Soul books are incredibly inspiring and uplifting. Each book is a collection of stories that remind you that, often… very, very often… good ultimately wins and love is the most powerful emotion of all. I honestly feel like these books could be prescribed as effectively for stress and anxiety as any medication on or off the market. They fill you with hope and happiness and, could we ever use a daily dose of those right now??!

Eddie

“Eddie” Hard at Work on a Puzzle

Second Reason… Cats

Okay, I have a cat blog, so it’s no secret here that I am obsessed with and completely in love with cats – all cats… big, small, domesticated, feral, fat, slender, long hair, short hair, no hair, yours, mine…. All cats. I don’t only approve of the title of this book, The Magic of Cats… I applaud it with a hearty “AMEN!”

Earlier, I was having one of those busy human moments – wondering what I was going to make for supper, when I’d have a chance to finish this very post, how I could convince the dishes to do themselves… all while basically going around in circles as the neck tension began to gain momentum. I happened to glance at one of our cats, Guennie, looking especially beautiful and peaceful soaking up the afternoon sunshine. Instantly… literally instantly… the tension melted away.

Obviously that doesn’t happen in every instance and certainly not for everyone – but it happens regularly for me with my cats and I’m sure you can relate.

There is a certain magic to cats and you’ll never convince a cat lover there isn’t.

Eddie

Eddie, Wondering if He’ll Be Required to Sign Autographs

Third Reason… and the Biggest Reason, if We’re Being Honest…. Emily!

Who’s Emily? She’s Emily Dill – my beautiful oldest daughter… and recently a first time mother of a human baby (she and her husband have had cat babies for years.. awesome great pre-game). She is a writer and her story about their cat, Edgar Allan Poe (Eddie, for short), is one of the stories in the book.

As her mother and Eddie’s MiMi, I am unspeakably proud of both of them!

Eddie’s story (he insists I call it that, since he is, after all, the star) is in the chapter about cats that “choose” their forever home and, more importantly, their forever family.

Emily and Dill (her husband) had recently moved into their home, with their “princess” Janie, a gorgeous shiny black cat who has been a real character since day one. She was adopted as a tiny kitten and had run of the house since day one.

Eddie showed up one day, on the brink of death (literally – I don’t exaggerate) to their home. He may or may not have realized it then, but he had just chosen his forever home and forever family and could not have done a better job. I’m still convinced that Princess Janie consenting to accept a brother was an answer to prayer. If you knew this little girl like I do, you’d know it couldn’t have been anything but Divine intervention.

I hope you will buy the book to read all of Eddie’s story – as well as the many, many other heart-warming and uplifting stories. So many (including Emily’s story… I’m sorry… including Eddie’s story) moved me to tears – fortunately, I know by now to always sit down to the beautiful Chicken Soup books with a box of tissues. These stories are so beautiful… so precious… so MAGICAL.

Cats bring a certain amount of magic to our homes and to our lives and this wonderful book is an extraordinary reminder.

The Magic of Cats is available on Amazon and would make the most amazing gift for cat lovers imaginable. Just be sure to package it with a box of tissues to catch all of the happy tears.

~ Joi

P.S. Chicken Soup is just as healing as it ever was.

Eddie

Eddie… Living His Best Lives!

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.
