Gorgeous Black Cat Bath Towels and Hand Towels

By

We’ve (unfortunately) reached the time of year where a lot of things ordered on Amazon will not arrive by Christmas and these towels fall into that category.

Just as well, actually, because most of us will be interested in ordering them for ourselves anyway!

These beauties are available as either a 30″ x 15″ hand towel or a 64″ x 32″ bath towel. Naturally, the ideal thing to do is one of each, but (for me anyway), that’ll be determined by how much money Christmas leaves me with!

More likely than not, I’ll be ordering one now and it’s mate in a month or so. Christmas really wipes out the pocketbook, doesn’t it?

See Black Cat Towels for a closer look and more information. Remember, these will arrive after Christmas.

Adorable Gift Idea for Cat Lovers – Cat Storage Basket

By

We cat lovers love to surround ourselves, not only with the real thing (and as many of those as possible!), but with cat decorations as well. It makes us smile and makes our cats feel like the stars of the show we all know they are. I just found this adorable Cat Fruit Bowl on Amazon and am pretty much in love with it.

I’ve been looking for something cute to store bags of cat treats in and this is absolutely perfect. It’d also be a perfect place for cats to put their toys when they aren’t playing with them.

Okay, now I’m being delusional. Cats never clean up after themselves.

See  Cat Fruit Bowl for a closer look. This is a real beauty.

Cute Gift Idea for Cat Lovers: Cat Beard Mug

By

 Too cute! This unique Cat Beard Mug is the ideal gift idea for cat lovers with a sense of humor.

These beautiful glass mugs come packaged in a pretty box decorated with creative artwork, which is something  I LOVE. When giving gifts, I always feel good about the packaging looking as special as possible. Let’s face it, plain and beat-up looking brown boxes just don’t seem quite as impressive.

Because these are large drinking glasses, you can fill your cup with a generous amount of tea, cappuccino, tea, juice, soup, hot chocolate, or (my personal fave) a Chai Tea Latte that’ll last all night.

Enjoying a big mug of tea while watching  a great Golden Age of Hollywood movie with at least two cats within reach… that’s my kind of evening!

Getting Rid of the Ammonia Smell in Litter Boxes: Tidy Cats to the Rescue

By

I saw something advertised on television about a week ago, Tidy Cats Litter with Ammonia Blocker, and it really caught my attention.

As anyone with boy cats knows, some have more of an ammonia smell in their urine than other cats do. Sometimes it has to do with illness or dehydration but, it’s been my experience that sometimes it simply is what it is and some cats have more offensive pee (as well as the other!) than others do.

I can’t prove it or back it up scientifically, but my many years as a cat mom have also made me discover that it is often males with the most ammonia smell to their urine.

Just part of being a boy, I guess!

I’ve always thought litter companies should focus on the ammonia aspect and come up with a way to neutralize it or “block” it. Purina has read this crazy cat lady’s mind… and they made it Light Weight, too, which is BY FAR my favorite cat litter to use.

I haven’t found Tidy Cats Litter with Ammonia Blocker in stores, yet, but I have found it on Amazon. Since that means they bring it right to me, that might even be better than stores!

  • 17 lb. Pail – Purina Tidy Cats Lightweight Free & Clean With Ammonia Blocker Clumping Cat Litter
  • Unscented cat litter that’s free of fragrances and dyes
  • Features odor-absorbing activated charcoal
  • Ammonia Blocker prevents ammonia odor for at least 2 weeks, guaranteed when used as directed
  • Features TidyLock technology to lock away odors


Catt Butt Coasters: Whimsical, Fun, and Very Unexpected!

By

I love to decorate with whimsical, fun, random, unique, “can’t help but look!” things around the house and if these Cat Butt Coasters don’t fit the bill, nothing does!

Hand crocheted in 100% cotton, they are available in a range of colors.

They’d, obviously, be a lot of fun around your own house butt (see what I did there) they’d also make adorable gifts.

Adorable Cat Necklace: Hang On, Boots!

By

The adorable Sterling Silver Cat Necklace (above) is too darn cute for its own good! I wish I’d seen it before Christmas, I’d have made the necessary arrangements with Santa and it’d be hanging around my neck right now.

Pretty confident that I’ve been on the NICE list, aren’t I?

No problem, though, as they say – tomorrow is another day. Translated, that means, I can always buy it for myself! And shall.

20 Things You Didn’t Know About Catnip (Infographic)

By

Like all self-respecting cats, our cats are crazy wild about catnip and catnip toys. They lose their little minds! We keep extra bags of catnip and all-natural catnip spray on hand to lightly “rev up” their toys and bedding areas.

One of the biggest hits of any cat toy we’ve ever seen is the catnip banana guy below. I’m not sure what it is exactly, but we’ve actually had to buy extras of this one because they never want to share him. There’s just something about him they’re nuts about.


Sorry I Cant… I Have Plans With My Cat T-Shirt (Love It!)

Great Book for Cat Lovers: You Need More Sleep (Advice from Cats)

By

Like any cat lover worth an ounce of catnip, I love books about cats… whether they’re humorous, touching, informative – or a little of each – I grab them up and devour them cover to cover.

You Need More Sleep: Advice from Cats is an especially fun book for cat lovers.

A few of the adorable (and, let’s face it, true!) nuggets of wisdom include:

  • show you care with homemade gifts…
  • don’t be nice to unpleasant people…
  • never let anyone dress you…
  • trust the person who feeds you regularly….

An enjoyable and entertaining read, this is a book you’ll want to read again and again. It also makes a perfect gift idea for the cat lovers in your life – if that describes your mom, dad, or an upcoming graduate, this is the time of year to grab each one a copy!
