Cat Welcoming Mat… Just So You Know, There’s Like a Lots of Cats in Here!

By

So I’ve found our new indoor welcoming mat! I’ve been looking for one to replace the one we have as you enter the back door and, boy oh boy, have I found the perfect one?! The Just So You Know There’s Like A Lots Of Cats In Here Mat (Amazon link) is fun, funny, and ever so appropriate.

I also love that it is worded in cat speech… “A Lots of Cats.” Adorable!

The mat measures 30″(L) x 18″(W) 3/16″ and a non-slip rubber back and a non-woven fabric top.

This one is sort of thin, so it is recommended for indoor use – either at an entrance or even at a cat feeding station.

It would be ideal for the door going from a garage into the home.

See Just So You Know There’s Like A Lots Of Cats In Here Mat (Amazon link) for a closer look. You can also find a LOT of outdoor welcome mats for cat homes on Amazon as well.

I love letting guests know who really and truly runs the home!

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!

Beautiful Japanese Porcelain Cat Bowls (Various Sizes Available)

By

The gorgeous Smiling Cat Porcelain Rice Bowl pictured here is just one of the nine sizes available on Amazon. The adorable cat made me fall in love with them immediately. The fact that they’re Japanese porcelain only sweetens the deal. Each time I eat at a Japanese restaurant, I want to take the dishes home with me… now they’re safe because I’ll have my own. No need to embarrass the family by looking for ways to smuggle gorgeous dishes out of restaurants.

And mine will have smiling cats on them no less!

  • Japanese Porcelain Noodle Bowl with Maneki Neko Design Measures 4-1/2in Diameter.
  • Dimension: 4-1/2 in Dia. x 2-1/8 in H
  • Material: Porcelain
  • Made in Japan

Click through the image or here to see the entire collection. These would make exquisite gift ideas for any cat lover in your life.

*** Full disclosure: I have never, never taken a bowl or dish from any restaurant. That would be just tacky… besides my family would never be seen with me in public again!


Hilarious Gift Idea for Cat Lovers: Snarky Stemless Glasses (4 in the Set)

By

While these beautiful and hilarious cat lovers glasses are, technically, wine glasses, that’s not remotely what I think of them as. As someone who doesn’t drink, grape juice (which I love, by the way) is as close as I get to wine.

In fact, I drink grape juice every single night and even call it my “evening wine.” Now I’ve found the perfect wine glasses for my “evening wine.”

Yes, I’m a bit of an odd bird, what gave me away??? 

Cat Lovers Glasses Description

  • These funny wine glasses are a great gift for anyone who loves their feline friend. Perfect for any occasion, they are as much fun to give as they are to receive!
  • An affordable way to gift 4 individual wine glasses or offer party favors when hosting wine parties. Give a unique, memorable present to 4 special people that will last for years to come.
  • Printed with premium, organic ink that is dishwasher safe.
  • Made to last for years, the vivid white print won’t chip or fade after being washed in the dishwasher.
  • Look for USA made. This funny stemless glassware is proudly made, printed and packaged in the USA and features a chip-resistant edge, generous 15 oz bowl size and sturdy base.
  • Each glass is carefully packed in a sturdy, white gift box to ensure safe delivery to its destination.

Adorable Lighted Cat Christmas Tree (Wonderful Gift Idea)

By

One of the things I love the most about giving and receiving Christmas decorations as gifts is the fact that most of us don’t buy them for ourselves! I also love the fact (when receiving them) that they’re often given early, so they can be enjoyed throughout the season.

I love and live for early gifts. My inner child never takes a day off.

This beautiful Christmas Cat Tree Figurine is actually a gift I will be giving myself this Christmas. It’s too cute not to.

  • Tree is decorated with colorful, hand-painted ornaments, sparkling glitter details, color-changing balls and festive felines
  • Perfect on a mantel, shelf, or as part of a centerpiece display
  • Requires 2 AA batteries (sold separately)
  • Made from resin, measures 9 1/2″H

One of the Best Quotes About Cats I’ve Ever Read

By

 

 

Queen Fatima

Queen Fatima

“Anyone who claims that a cat cannot give a dirty look has either never kept a cat or is singularly unobservant.” – Maurice Burton

I love this quote – it is so TRUE! The adorable little girl pictured above was “Queen Fatima,” one of the many, many feral cats I’ve loved and cared for over the years. Many of these ferals, like Queen Fatima, become part of the family and are loved and spoiled like any house cat has ever been. Fatima was no exception.

I loved that girl to pieces!

In the picture here, she was annoyed with one of her brothers (Markie). I happened to catch her mid-glare and the picture fits with this quote like a glove!
