We cat lovers don’t just love to surround ourselves with real furry, meowing, treat-demanding cats, we love to surround ourselves with figurines, pictures, knick knacks, and anything else that celebrates the animal we love with all of our heart.

This beautiful colorful 2 Rug Set with Cats (Amazon link) has caught my eye and I don’t think I will be able to rest until they’re in our kitchen. These would look gorgeous with white or gray appliances, too, but I think they’re going to be a real show stopper with our black appliances.

I love everything about these rugs and the fact that they’re so affordable (less than $20 for both) make them great gift ideas too (as long as you know the person well enough to know they could use these in their kitchen… or laundry room or bathroom).

Since I know myself pretty darn well, I feel 110 percent safe in buying these for myself… from myself!

The description sounds like they’d be ideal for any room (or foyer, porch, or doorway) you could think of.

September 28, 2020 By Joi

Our cats (inside and outside) love scratching posts. I always think it’s funny to see the outside cats getting such a kick out of the one on the carport because… let’s face it… they have the best scratching posts in the world – a big yard full of trees!

Adorable Gift Idea for Cat Lovers (Tell Santa I’m Going to Need About 10)

September 21, 2020 By Joi

I have always been obsessed with two particular things: cats and plants (flowers, trees, succulents…). Needless to say, when the two loves collide, I’m in paradise.

I love the beautiful little artificial plant in a cat planter (Amazon link), shown here. It’s absolutely adorable.

I have quite a few artificial plants on shelves and bookcases in our home – they’re the best kind of plant:

  • They never die.
  • They never wilt or look any less lovely than they do from day one.
  • You don’t have to water them.
  • My favorite: You don’t have to worry if they’re safe for your cats to eat.

I already have the perfect place for this little beauty picked out in my den… only problem is, I know of a perfect spot in one of the bathrooms. Oh… and the den…

You see my dilemma.

From the Seller Greathouse Trading Company on Amazon:

  • Artificial Succulent Plants: For 30 years, our family business has been providing quality artificial plants to homes across the globe. We inspect and hand select each item in our collection. Picking one of a kind items made with care and quality.
  • Works with any style decor: Farmhouse, Modern, Contemporary, Rustic, Bohemian, Channel your inner Joanna Gaines Magnolia Market
  • Room Decor and Decorations that Last Forever: Have a tough time keeping your plants alive. With this artificial fake faux succulent plant, you will never need to worry about your plants again.
  • Airbnb Easy to Care For: Just lightly wipe or dust your potted succulent every few months and your plants will look great for years to come.

I love that the company has been making artificial plants for 30 years… they should know what they’re doing!

See artificial plant in a cat planter (Amazon link) for a closer look. The more I look at this adorable cat, the more rooms I think she’d be perfect for!

Adorable Cat Paws and Claws Cups: Fun Gift Idea for Cat Lovers

September 16, 2020 By Joi

When it comes to giving or receiving gifts (or anything in life, really), I love the off-beat and unexpected. They add a certain extra level of fun to life that I find irresistible. These adorable Cat Paws and Claws Cups (Amazon link) are a perfect example.

I mean, let’s face it, how often do you see anything this cute??

I love the wonderful designs on the “legs” and “paws,” but my favorite part is the bottom of the cups – the little jelly beans on the foot pads always send me, so I love that they’re included here.

These glass cups are perfect for any beverage: coffee, milk, tea, juice, hot chocolate, espresso, latte.. hot or cold, doesn’t matter.

These adorable cups (which come as a set of three) are ideal gift ideas for anyone, any age. The only prerequisite is that they love cats, love fun, and… well… happen to drink!

Christmas Gift Guide for Cat Lovers

We’ve reached the point (mid-September) where my brain turns to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Okay, it’s dialed into Christmas year-round if we’re being honest, but I really kick it into high gear this time of year.

I’m starting the Christmas Gift Guide for Cats and the Families That Love Them category today and will merrily be adding wonderful gift ideas for cat lovers and gift ideas for cats as well! As each gift idea is added to the blog, I’ll come back here and list them below.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats

The Magic of Cats… I Love This Book!

The first gift idea listed (and pictured above) is Chicken Soup for the Soul’s WONDERFUL new book, The Magic of Cats (Amazon link). I love that royalties from this book go to animals in need. It would be a must have book even without this fact, but it makes it even extra special, doesn’t it?

You  can click the link above to go right to the book on Amazon, where you can read more about it or click the link below to read my review of the book… along with a reason it’s extra extra special to me!

Willow Tree Angel Holding a Cat (Love this So Much!)

August 15, 2020 By Joi

I am ALL ABOUT surrounding myself with things I love (almost as “all about” it as I am about surrounding myself with people and cats I love).

Everywhere in our home you’ll find purple (my favorite color), old Hollywood collectibles, books, cats, pigs, old movies, plants, flowers, Rachael Ray kitchen gadgets… okay, Rachael Ray everything…  I Love Lucy collectibles, and angels. Lots of angels.

It may sound a bit much, but I want there to be something purple and at least one angel figurine  everywhere you look. As I sit at my computer, I can see an angel figurine nearby with the word Hope on her dress.

Love her and her attitude!

A few of my angels are Willow Tree angels, like the gorgeous Angel Holding a Cat pictured here. I am not at all sure how this angel-loving, cat-loving collector doesn’t have this particular angel yet, but I intend to take care of that right away.

And by right away, I mean, excuse me while I go throw something in my Amazon cart….

The Magic of Cats… Because We Could All Use a Little Magic Right Now

July 16, 2020 By Joi

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats

I’ve always loved the Chicken Soup for the Soul books and have always gotten excited when a new one hits the shelves (or in the modern era, Amazon). I’m EXTRA EXTRA excited about the newest book, The Magic of Cats, for three distinct reasons.

First Reason… 2020

2020 has been trying, to say the least. Every single day, we read about (and pray for) people who are sick or families who have had to say goodbye to loved ones they were in no way ready to say goodbye to. You simply can’t see these gut-wrenching real life events DAILY without them affecting you. The more empathetic you are (I’m a solid 10 out of 10 on the scale, myself), the more you feel each loss and sympathize with each tear.

This year, as much as any year I can remember, has caused me to focus on one of my favorite “focal” words: BALANCE. We have to make a point of balancing the negative with as much positive as we can and we have to respond to the ugliness with as much beauty as we can find or muster.

My favorite ways to bring balance into my world are prayer, family (which includes our cats, of course), inspirational reading, cooking, old movies, flower gardening, and classic television. Balancing acts such like these keep what’s out there from eating you alive from the inside out.

Chicken Soup for the Soul books are incredibly inspiring and uplifting. Each book is a collection of stories that remind you that, often… very, very often… good ultimately wins and love is the most powerful emotion of all. I honestly feel like these books could be prescribed as effectively for stress and anxiety as any medication on or off the market. They fill you with hope and happiness and, could we ever use a daily dose of those right now??!

Eddie

“Eddie” Hard at Work on a Puzzle

Second Reason… Cats

Okay, I have a cat blog, so it’s no secret here that I am obsessed with and completely in love with cats – all cats… big, small, domesticated, feral, fat, slender, long hair, short hair, no hair, yours, mine…. All cats. I don’t only approve of the title of this book, The Magic of Cats… I applaud it with a hearty “AMEN!”

Earlier, I was having one of those busy human moments – wondering what I was going to make for supper, when I’d have a chance to finish this very post, how I could convince the dishes to do themselves… all while basically going around in circles as the neck tension began to gain momentum. I happened to glance at one of our cats, Guennie, looking especially beautiful and peaceful soaking up the afternoon sunshine. Instantly… literally instantly… the tension melted away.

Obviously that doesn’t happen in every instance and certainly not for everyone – but it happens regularly for me with my cats and I’m sure you can relate.

There is a certain magic to cats and you’ll never convince a cat lover there isn’t.

Eddie

Eddie, Wondering if He’ll Be Required to Sign Autographs

Third Reason… and the Biggest Reason, if We’re Being Honest…. Emily!

Who’s Emily? She’s Emily Dill – my beautiful oldest daughter… and recently a first time mother of a human baby (she and her husband have had cat babies for years.. awesome great pre-game). She is a writer and her story about their cat, Edgar Allan Poe (Eddie, for short), is one of the stories in the book.

As her mother and Eddie’s MiMi, I am unspeakably proud of both of them!

Eddie’s story (he insists I call it that, since he is, after all, the star) is in the chapter about cats that “choose” their forever home and, more importantly, their forever family.

Emily and Dill (her husband) had recently moved into their home, with their “princess” Janie, a gorgeous shiny black cat who has been a real character since day one. She was adopted as a tiny kitten and had run of the house since day one.

Eddie showed up one day, on the brink of death (literally – I don’t exaggerate) to their home. He may or may not have realized it then, but he had just chosen his forever home and forever family and could not have done a better job. I’m still convinced that Princess Janie consenting to accept a brother was an answer to prayer. If you knew this little girl like I do, you’d know it couldn’t have been anything but Divine intervention.

I hope you will buy the book to read all of Eddie’s story – as well as the many, many other heart-warming and uplifting stories. So many (including Emily’s story… I’m sorry… including Eddie’s story) moved me to tears – fortunately, I know by now to always sit down to the beautiful Chicken Soup books with a box of tissues. These stories are so beautiful… so precious… so MAGICAL.

Cats bring a certain amount of magic to our homes and to our lives and this wonderful book is an extraordinary reminder.

The Magic of Cats is available on Amazon and would make the most amazing gift for cat lovers imaginable. Just be sure to package it with a box of tissues to catch all of the happy tears.

~ Joi

P.S. Chicken Soup is just as healing as it ever was.

Eddie

Eddie… Living His Best Lives!

Beautiful Jigsaw Puzzle for Cat Lovers

June 2, 2020 By Joi

When you have cats for babies, working jigsaw puzzles can be a challenge – some cats just want to sit and watch, which is great, but most think it’s an interactive game! Sure, it’s fun and downright adorable, but true puzzle-working has to wait until the baby wears itself out or finds something else to be amused by.

I have to say, though, the fun of working a crossword puzzle is worth the extra effort. I’m a jigsaw puzzle addict and am always on the hunt for a colorful, challenging, and fun new puzzle adventure.

I love this one I just found on Amazon, the Cat Bookshelf Puzzle (Amazon link). When you click through the link, you can view the image better (certainly larger), and you can read the special titles on each cat’s book. It is extra, extra cute.

I also love the beautiful tuxedo cat sprawled out on top of the books. He/She is giving the PURRFECT expression – this is exactly how a cat would look at their human if they were daring to interrupt their slumber for something as common as a taking a photo! We have a few tuxedo cats and this one reminds me so much of them. Makes me love the puzzle even more!

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.
