Interactive Catnip Rug: Colorful, Fun, and Downright Ingenious

By

My grandbabies have a few interactive toy rugs they LOVE…. and the adorable thing is, so do our cats! When the babies leave their rugs spread out on the floor and wander to another room, inevitably a few cats come to check it out and stay a while.

That’s why I searched out play rugs just for cats a few days ago on Amazon. I was THRILLED to find this Interactive Catnip Rug (Amazon link) and knew I had to add it to the 2021 Christmas Gift Ideas for Cats lineup!

This colorful beauty is just perfect in every way. The interactive play mat is “inspired by the magic of a nighttime garden” and it’s simply beautiful.

The soft and cushy catnip playmat is actually a stroke of genius and I’m surprised I haven’t seen more like this before. When we buy catnip, we always sprinkle a little bit under the blankets on our cats’ favorite beds and resting spots. They love it and it’s great fun to watch them enjoying it BUT it’s unbelievably messy! Having a ready-made, neat and tidy catnip rug is ideal and I can’t wait to see our cats enjoying it!

Paw-some Set of Cat Toys… Ideal Christmas Gift for Any Cat!

By

This Youngever Set of Cat Toys (Amazon link) is exactly what our cats would ask Santa for. So much colorful fun just waiting to be had! Two way tunnel (love the bright, fun color), feather teaser, fluffy mice, cat string, fun balls to chase after…

What’s not to love?!

This set of cat toys is 24 pieces in all. Our cats love sets like this. When they come in the Amazon box, I call them into the room and we open it up together. Then they act like human kids on Christmas morning! Speaking of which, this set would be purrfect for any cats on your list as well as any cat lovers.

After all, we cat lovers are never happier than when our babies are happy and playing.

By

  • The scratching post is well integrated into the cactus and is ornamental. It adds a touch of green to your corners and also adds a fun place to your cat.
  • This product has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. Raise a cactus for your favorite cat! ps: Please keep the cat tree dry and pay attention to the fire source.

I Threw These Catnip Toys RIGHT Into My Amazon Cart…

By

Like most cats, our perpetual toddlers are obsessed with catnip toys. We buy them frequently for them because they get almost as big a kick out of playing them as we do watching them play.

I was on Amazon, earlier, looking at French Butter Crocks of all things when the “inspired by your buying history” got me sidetracked with (shocking!) cat toys. As soon as I saw this set of 5 Catnip Toys (Amazon link), I just threw it right into the cart… it landed right on top of the French Butter Crock.

They’re available in three different multi-color combinations and each is great-looking.

I love the size of these catnip toys – they’re bigger than a lot of toys and I know our cats will get a huge kick out of them. I also love that they come in a pack of five – if your house is a multi-cat house, like our house, you’ll love having plenty to go around. If you have one spoiled rotten baby, you’ll have a nice rotation of catnip toys for him/her to enjoy that’ll last for months.

Features:

  • Perfect Gift: The cat chew toy has catnip inside a breathable fabric, allowing cats smell the catnip easily.
  • Bite resistant: Fine suture of this cat toy makes it durable for biting.
  • Safe and High Quality Material: More Durable Cotton Linen
  • Stuffed with Soft PP Cotton and Natural Catnip
  • Helping reduce your pets’ boredom and separation anxiety by killing time with the chew toy and the catnip toys for cats are ideal for cats to play indoor or outdoor.

By

Of course you buy toys for your cat(s) for Christmas – those of us blessed enough to have cats in our lives treat them like the tiny furry children that they are!

If you’re anything like me, you not only buy them toys for Christmas, you’re often guilty of giving them some of their toys early!

Cat Tunnels: Endless and Exciting Fun for Cats!

By


All good cat parents know just how important it is to provide plenty of fun and excitement for their “babies.” Cat boredom is a very real and very sad reality. A healthy and happy cat is one who doesn’t have a boring day in his or her life!

Naturally this means making sure our cats have interesting toys, furniture of their own, and different opportunities to explore and play.

Cat tunnels aren’t just fun for cats, they’re CRAZY fun for cats. The 3-Way Leopard Print Cat Tunnel pictured above is available in the leopard print as well as a variety of other patterns/colors.  Floral and giraffe print are just a few of the others.

 

A Few Tips for Providing Exciting Fun for Your Cat:

  • Rotate your cat’s toys (keeping their absolute favorite toy available at all times, however!). Tuck some away and bring out new ones – this keeps your cat interested and excited. It also helps the toys last longer.
  • Buy some catnip spray to add a little extra fun to your cat’s toys. Catnip Spray is also great when introducing your cat to a new bed, cat tree, or scratching post.
  • Always, always, always keep safety in the front of your mind. Check and double-check all cat toys to make sure there are not parts that can get stuck in your cat’s throat. Also, keep in mind that gift wrapping ribbon is a huge chocking hazard.
  • Never underestimate a good old-fashioned cardboard box. My cats often enjoy the box their toys or furniture arrive in as much as the gift, itself. Fortunately, the toys and furniture last longer… they look a lot better too!


Plush Fabric-Lined Cat Condo…. Oooh La La

By

The Trixie Fabric-Lined Cat Condo (pictured here) is a heckuva lot of fun just waiting for a lucky, pampered, and most of all loved cat to enjoy. Any good cat parent knows that keeping a cat entertained and engaged is good for her physically, mentally, and emotionally. Providing your cat with novel, new, and exciting opportunities keeps her on her toes… and adorable toes, at that.

I love everything about this cat condo – its great looks, reasonable price, and the many opportunities for a cat to explore and enjoy. She can even hide out inside and plan her sneak attack.

We all know how much cats love the sneak attack.

I also love that it’s compact and close to the ground, meaning that even the clumsiest cat will be perfectly safe from harm.

One of my cats, Alexa, fits this description perfectly. Even she couldn’t cause a disaster with this cat furniture.

When it comes to keeping things fun and exciting for indoor cats, we like to rotate cat toys, scratching posts, and even cat furniture. It makes each of their treasured possessions last longer but, more importantly, it keeps things fresh and new for them – something outside cats are awarded with, by God, on a daily basis.

We have to provide the fun and variety for inside babies.

Features:

  • Wrapped in soft plush inside and out
  • Condo lined in plush fabric
  • Natural sisal scratching surface
  • Dangling plush toys inside

Product Description:

The Topi Cat Condo will provide endless opportunities for your cats to play, scratch, explore or just relax. This stylish piece of cat furniture combines the best of both worlds: a condo hideaway and a scratching surface. Felines can sharpen their claws on the large scratching surface wrapped in durable sisal instead of on your furniture or carpet. If a nap or a place to hide is in order, the cat can crawl inside the kitty condo which is covered in plush fabric both inside and out, making it the perfect retreat. Feeling a little spunky? Taunt the plush toys suspended inside, sure to peak your little hunter’s interest. Suitable for cats of all ages and activity levels. One year warranty. Color: chocolate brown. Dimensions (inches): 18 x 12 x 13; condo opening 6 x 6. Weight: 3 pounds.
