Inside is a 2″ layer of cedar bedding, offering protection against odors and fleas, superior shock absorption, long-lasting crush resistance, and excellent support. Another layer is a 1 1/2″ orthopedic foam pad. These beds fit inside our Soft Crates. This item ships directly from the manufacturer.

Cat Desk Bed for the Cat who fancies Herself, or Himself, a Secretary

Cat in Box Desk Bed

The Refined Feline Kitt-in Box Cat Bed in Cherry

Brilliant! As someone who works from home – sitting busily at her computer desk each day, coffee to the left and cat (Alexa) to the right – I can honestly say that this is one of the most ingenious cat beds or perches I’ve ever seen. Before Alexa came along and became my adorable secretary, the position was held for many, many, many years by Prissy. She, too, was an adorable secretary. In fact, Prissy was actually even more fond of lying on the desk – between me and the computer – than Alexa is. Prissy was on the job Monday through Friday!

This beautiful and clever is available online from Amazon for a TOTALLY reasonable price – seriously, I thought it’d be twice as much.

Product Features

  • Clamps securely to desktop; felt pads resist scratching
  • Supports 20lbs including cats and small dogs
  • Comfortable foam cushion with machine washable cover
  • Constructed in solid pine
  • Adjusts to multiple positions

Take a closer look (you’ll love all of the pictures!) and order one for you own little secretary today! – The Refined Feline Kitt-in Box Cat Bed in Cherry

Keeping Outdoor Cats Warm this Winter

By

Lucky Charms January 5 2017 b

Lucky Charms

Brrrrrr… it has already cooled off considerably and thoughts have turned to keeping our outside cats warm.  As you know, we have one inside diva extraordinaire (Alexa).  She claims “squatting rights” and insists that our other cats remain outdoors.  Truth be told, outdoors is all 3 of them know and they’re just wild enough to flip if we ever did try to bring them indoors.

I remember one year we were having a HORRIBLE storm and I was scared for our outdoor cat (Svenn).  He was also what you’d consider pretty “wild,” but I brought him in anyway.  After all, he was my wild baby and I wasn’t going to let anything happen to him.

He went NUTS.

He ran into the sliding doors – he screamed and meowed like he were being tortured and no amount of coddling or baby talk would calm him down.  I honestly thought he was going to have a heart attack!

Needless to say, I haven’t made that mistake since.

My husband keeps our garage door opened just enough for our cats to get inside (and short possums, but they seldom go in for long).  Fortunately we don’t use our garage for anything except storing Christmas decorations, yard work supplies, and other seasonal knick knacks – so the cats consider it a large, wonderful winter home.

Pretty soon, my husband will grab a bale or two of straw and put it up in the loft of the garage.  I’ve climbed up there before and am amazed at how warm it stays with the straw and old blankets.  Of course, when spring rolls around, I have a ton of sweeping and cleaning to do but…. are you kidding me, it’s SO worth it to keep my babies warm and comfortable!

I’ve been looking on Amazon this morning at some items Hannah, Jelly Bean, Queen Fatima, and Bullet would like in their winter home and I found the K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty Pad with Fleece Cover (pictured here) that they will love. Fortunately, they’re affordable, because we’re going to need four!

  • Made of rugged ABS plastic
  • Ideal for sheds, garages, barns, or anywhere else your outdoor cats hang out
  • Includes 5.5-foot steel wrapped cord and fleece cover

PetSmart is Heaven on Earth for Animal Lovers

By

I’ve always loved Petsmart.com (Click the link to save $10 off your order of $40 or more), so I was thrilled beyond words when a Petsmart store opened in my hometown, Owensboro.

Sometimes I think I spend more time there than the workers!

I have so many things in mind that I want to buy over the next few weeks. First of all, I have to buy more of the Pro Plan&reg Selects(tm) Wet Food for Cats you see at the top of the post. Every single one of our cats LOVE this stuff – even the pickiest cat in the world, Svenn, devours it with glee.

Prissy revved up her motor and started purring when she first encounterd the Salmon and Brown Rice Entree. After that supply ran out, and before I got back to PetSmart, I had to feed them their regular packets of food (which had been perfectly wonderful for them before) – Svenn turned his nose up at it and the other 3 acted like, “Well, if that’s all you’ve got…”

So, needless to say, I’m grabbing more of these cans today.

I also want to grab a few of these Whisker City&reg Organic Wool Ball Cat Toys. The wool ball features a bell inside, so it’s extra intiguing for little paws.

I want one of the Whisker City? Giraffe Print Pyramid Kitty Caves for Bo. He’s all about getting snug and hidden. Svenn, who’s convince that the paparazzi are stalking his every move, doesn’t really care for being tucked away. He likes to stay on guard, ready to flee the cameras, the microphones, the fans… But Bo would love this Kitty Cave!

PetSmart also has some gorgeous cat beds that are so soft you can’t stop rubbing them. There’s a pink one I want for Alexa and a safari style one for Prissy. What can I say, she’s just a wild kind of gal.

If you don’t have a PetSmart nearby, check out their website. You can click any of the links or images in this post – or one of the links to the right. If you click the one that says you’ll save $10, it’ll save you money for choosing wisely!

I hope your Thanksgiving was extra special and that the rest of your holiday season will be just as special. Speaking of holidays, click HERE for a personal, creepy little warning!

Ingenius Heated Cat and Dog Beds

Petsafe Heated Cuddler Pet Bed

Prissy (our much beloved and spoiled 18 year old cat) is doing a little online shopping this evening. She says that her arthritic little body MUST have at least one of these Petsafe Heated Cuddler Pet Beds
. She’d like one for each room of the house but I just don’t think it’s within her budget.

It’ll be cool weather before we know it, so I thinks she’s wise to order right now. Animals (and humans for that matter) who live with arthritis know that warmth makes the old bones feel ohhhhhh so much better.

From the website:
Heated pet bed to warm your cat or dog in chilly weather Lush, terry cloth material is soft to the touch Removable, machine washable bed cover is easy to maintain Heated cuddler supports in comfort and surrounds in warmth. Conveys security for the older pet or any who crave their own hot spot. Foam core boasts plush sueded terry lining and a faux suede, zippered cover. Low voltage power adapter with detachable, chew-resistant cord radiates gentle warmth from the inside out. Outer cover unzips for easy machine washing. UL-Listed. Chew-resistant 6 ft 3″ cord. Small (Hunter Green), 23″ x 18″ Medium (Navy Blue), 27″ x 22″ Large (Khaki), 36″ x 24-1/2″.

…”for the older pet…” Hopefully Prissy won’t read that. She’s sensitive about her age.
