Stylish and Beautiful Placemats for Cats… So Appropriate!

March 12, 2020 By Joi

Hmmm… my last three posts have been cat food, cat food dishes, and now cat placemats (Amazon link).

After having cats in the family all my life, I’m beginning to think like a cat: Everything revolves around food!!!

It is what it is, I guess, so I’ll just roll with it.

I actually love having placemats under our cats’ feeding station. It’s tidier, better looking, and makes them feel rather sophisticated. Cats think they’re just like the rest of the family, after all – so I’m sure they expect the same comforts we have.

These particular cat placemats (Amazon link) are gorgeous. They’re available in blue, watermelon red (love the color and the name!), gray, and white. I love that they’re dishwasher safe because I don’t know about your furry kids but mine are all very messy eaters!

  • 100% PREMIUM FOOD GRADE SILICONE MAT. FDA approved. It is safe for your dogs or cats
  • NO MESS: Raised outer lip prevents food & water from spilling onto floor (18.1″ x13.4″ )
  • ANTI-SLIP for secure placement, it won’t slide to scare your pets and mess your floor
  • WATERPROOF Pet Feeding Mat: easy to clean and dries quickly.
  • Dishwasher washable.
  • Flexible, just roll it up to store or pack for travel
  • 100% customer satisfaction

See cat placemats (Amazon link) for a closer look at these beauties.

Adorable Wall Decal With Black Kittens

October 10, 2013 By Joi

Kitten Poem Tree

If you love black cats as much as I do, you’ll love the black kittens wall decal too.  I’m not sure which more accurately depicts kittens, the one who finds himself in a bit of a “spot” (thanks to an overactive imagination and endless curiosity!) or the one on the ground watching the show…. as though she wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing. I’m pretty sure my beautiful grand-kitty Janie would be the one hanging from a branch. There’s nothing that girl won’t get into!

Last time I did a post about black cats and saying how much I loved them – it did my heart a lot of good to hear from so many people telling me about their love for black cats.  My e-mail was full of stories about people’s “babies” and they were a lot of characters! I loved reading all of them.  I totally agree with everyone else who loves black cats – they are gorgeous.  The shiny black fur and the way it contrasts with the green eyes… absolutely beautiful.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of having 3 solid black cats and one “Tuxedo” black cat (Hannah – one of the sweetest cats to EVER live).  My daughter Emily and her husband Dill have feisty little Janie to keep them on their toes.  I’m hoping many more will sashay into our lives. They’re really, really something special.

Click through the wall decal above for a closer look and to read the adorable poem.  Can you say MUST HAVE?!

Janie July 2013

Miss Janie (above), staring down at the purse she just nudged off the table. For the second time! What’s nuts is that the purse out-weighed her by about 10 pounds.

Hannah and her Belly

Hannah (above) showing off her belly! I swear, she’s a total mess. She’s one of the rare cats that invites you to pet her stomach. Apparently she’s kind of into it.

Janie, Falling Asleep in a Cereal Bowl…

June 21, 2012 By Joi

Janie

What? Don’t all cats sleep in cereal bowls?

Here’s a picture of my daughter Emily and her husband Dill’s precious and precocious cat Janie.  They adopted Janie from a local shelter when she was a baby and have had nothing but fun with her since.

I know they both wonder how in the world they ever got along without this hysterical little girl. She is such a character that character should be redefined!  Basically, the new definition for “character” should just be Janie.

If you have room in your home and room in your heart for a “shelter baby,” I hope you’ll give a precious cat like Janie a place to call home and a family that loves them to pieces.  Your world will never be the same.

Gorgeous Black and White Cats Art Print

Black and White Cats

The art print above reminds me of black and white cats we’ve had over the years.  Currently, I have a handsome solid black little boy cat (Jelly Bean) and my oldest daughter Emily has a beautiful solid black little girl cat (Janie). My Hannah has quite a bit of white on her, but she still has that shiny black fur I love so much!

I’ve never had a SOLID white cat but we did have a very special cat named “Whiskers” who was completely snow white except for a little patch of peach and black on her forehead. When she had kittens, she actually had two with identical patches on their foreheads.  They were as adorable as their mother.

Funny, cat lovers always remember every detail about all the cats in their life, no matter how many we’ve had!

Gorgeous Cat Tree with Faux Fur? Ooh La La!

January 23, 2012 By Joi

Free Shipping. 76" Casita Bungalow Cat Tree - Faux Fur

I visited my oldest daughter and her baby girl (a gorgeous black kitten named “Janie”) this afternoon. As I laid in the floor playing with her (Janie, not my daughter!), I couldn’t help thinking, “Why would anyone ever want to live in a house without a cat?” Cats make a house a home and the only people who don’t realize that are the ones who don’t have cats.

My daughter (Emily) said she’d love to get Janie a cat tree. I know she’d LOVE it! Cats love to climb, scratch, and even sleep on cat trees. They also love to lie on one of the perches and keep an eye on everything their humans get into. Big, beautiful cat trees like the Casita Bungalow Cat Tree – Faux Fur shown here are so beautiful that any cat parent would be proud to welcome it into their home… and any cat would be ecstatic to see their new paradise.

MinJee

Beautiful “MinJee”
We have inside and outside cats and we love them all like family. The beauty, above, is MinJee and she is as sweet as she is gorgeous.

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.
