Cat Christmas Stocking, Toys, and Even a Bandana!

October 10, 2020 By Joi

I (like so many of you) get a huge kick out of buying things for my cats – whether it’s Christmas or simply any other day of the year.

There is something extra fun about buying toys for furry kids at Christmas time, though.

I absolutely love the Christmas Stocking with Cat Toys (and bandana!) (Amazon link) pictured here. You’ll want to click through to see, not only this adorable cat and toys bigger but other precious cats wearing the bandana as well. Trust me, the cuteness is NEXT LEVEL!

The bright and festive Cat Christmas Toys set includes a holiday bandana for your cat and catnip toys, crinkle balls, bell toys and ball toys (total 10pcs cat toys).

Not only would this make a wonderful early Christmas gift for the cat(s) in your life – or even cats in someone else’s family – this would be a very thoughtful, unique, and fun gift idea for any cat lover.

See Christmas Stocking with Cat Toys (and bandana!) (Amazon link) for more information.

Cactus Cat Scratching Post: Ingenious!

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! Yet, they seem to prefer the big one on the carport to all the rest.

Never, ever try to figure out how a cat’s mind works!

I love this cactus cat scratching post (Amazon link) as much as any I’ve ever seen. It is unexpected, sturdy, great looking, and endless fun and entertainment for “toddlers in fur.”

Beautiful “Fold and Move” Cat Tower and Cat Bed

November 23, 2019 By Joi

I love everything about this beautiful Fold and Move Cat Tower and Cat Bed. For one thing, the beautiful gray goes with any decor or color scheme (it also doesn’t show cat hair as much as darker colors). I LOVE that there is room for the cat to scratch and play (with dangling balls… something that always fascinates furry babies) and the hidden bed and comfy hammock on top make it simply irresistible – to cats and their parents!

I also love that it can be folded for easy moving and transporting – whether your cat is taking a vacation or simply moving his/her favorite bed to another room.

I’m also crazy about the fact that the cushion in the “bedroom” is removable and machine washable.

  • Ideal for small spaces
  • Simply fold shut for quick and easy storage
  • Condo and toy lying hammock wrapped in soft plush
  • Natural sisal scratching surface
  • Removable cushion insert that can be machine washed

See Fold and Move Cat Tower and Cat Bed for more information!

Cat Tree Haven: Great Gift Idea that Might Save Your Christmas Tree

September 12, 2019 By Joi

One of our cats recently had kittens so, needless to say, we’re already thinking about how “interesting” Christmas will be this year. The gifts, bows, gift tags, ornaments, candy canes, and shiny decorations throughout the house are going to be fascinating enough for these little balls of energy, but I have a feeling the Christmas tree might prove to be a nightmare.

How do you keep a tree standing when three little toddlers with fur are intent on bringing it down?!

When I saw this amazing Cat Haven Condo on Amazon earlier, I was struck with an idea… diversion! I mean it often works for children who walk on two legs, why not children who walk… make that RUN… on four?!

  • Cat condo designed for cats up to 32 pounds in weight. Easy to assemble cat furniture, less than 15 minutes, no tools required.
  • Cat tree house intended for indoor use, fits great in any room.
  • Cat tower perfect for jumping, scratching, climbing, and relaxing.
  • Made from pressed wood, carpet and artificial leaves, great for cats’ innate instinct of hiding within nature. Made in USA and Imported.
  • Square base, 24 inches covered with artificial turf and 3 carpeted perches 22, 22 and 18 inches in diameter.

See Cat Haven Condo for a closer look (as well as adorable shots of cats enjoying their haven).

24 Cat Toys with a 2-Way Cat Tunnel Spell the Purrfect Christmas Gift For Cats

October 6, 2018 By Joi

Well this is a must have Cat Toy Collection if I ever saw one. It went right into my Amazon cart the minute I saw it. While I’m thinking that it’ll be a great gift idea for our cats on Christmas morning, I might just break it out earlier as a diversion from the tree, presents, and other decorations.

Every diversion helps with toddlers – whether they have fur or not!

The past few Christmases, in fact, we’ve kind of done a “25 Days of Christmas” thing with our cats where we give them a new toy or something extra fun each day to help keep them occupied and the tree standing! Some days it was as simple as a paper bag from the grocery store or an emptied Amazon box.

24 pieces cat toys include a collapsible Cat Tunnel (something our cats are obsessed with), Cat Teaser Wand, Interactive Feather Toy, Fluffy Mouse, Crinkle Balls, Balls with Feathers, etc.

Leopard Print Cat Bowl for the “Spoiled” Cat!

November 10, 2015 By Joi

If you’re like me, you have at least one very spoiled cat in your family – the little cutie that pretty much has everyone wrapped around her/his paw.

The Leopard Print “Spoiled” Cat Dish shown here is ideal for the cat who’s spoiled and wants everyone to know it.

Features:

  • Stainless steel bowl resists bacteria
  • Removable rubber base prevents skids and noise
  • No tip design prevents spills
  • Durable and dishwasher safe; please remove rubber ring before washing
  • Holds approximately 6-ounces

While I love everything about this gorgeous dish, my favorite thing is the bacteria-resistant stainless steel. I also love that it’s dishwasher safe.

No pampered cat wants to eat or drink out of a dirty dish!

See Leopard Print “Spoiled” Cat Dish for more information.  It’d make a super special Christmas present… just saying.

The dish above would be especially beautiful with the Leopard Print Cat Condo, pictured below.

Gift Ideas for Your Pampered Cat

December 21, 2008 By Joi

Merry Christmas!

Well, of course we cat lovers give gifts to our feline babies. If you think about it, we see them more during the year than we do most people in our own family. Theyr’e always there for us, they never criticize what we wear, they think we’re the best cooks on earth, and they make our world light up with just one purr. We love to buy things for them all year, but at Christmas time, it seems even sweeter.

Consider the following great tips and ideas from Cat Age:

Toys and treats: Stuff a stocking with catnip-filled toys and a few healthful treats. Your pet will love digging them out. Choose indestructible toys with no bells, baubles, or strings he can bite off and choke on. If in doubt about a toy’s safety, supervise during playtime.

Warm and snuggly: Wrap a padded plush bed in crinkly paper that kitty can tear into. The paper will entertain him for hours, and the bed will keep him cozy all winter.

Playground accessories: Keep his life interesting with cat climbers, scratchers, tunnels, and laser pointers.

At Prissy’s age, Christmas is just like any other day. As long as she has her food, her extra large pillow bed, plenty of chin scratching, and fresh water – she’s a tiny, purring, ridiculously happy 20 year old cat. Svenn and Bo love when Christmas season first arrives because they love sorting through the garage with me as we find all the santas, snowmen, trees, lights, etc. Truth be told, they aren’t a lot of help, but the company couldn’t be sweeter. Or cuter.

Alexa gets the most excited about Christmas though. Her splint is off her leg now and she’s getting around perfectly well. Every now and then, she’ll favor the leg – but I’m just so thankful my little girl’s back to her normal, enjoyable routines. She has assumed her rightful place in front of me on my computer desk and, somehow, all feels right with the world again.

One of the first things she wanted to do first (after being set free from her doggie kennel cage and splint) was explore the Christmas tree and presents. Last night, my husband and I were watching a few dvds. During the first one, she kept walking around on top of the presents and gift bags – swatting, chewing, and examining. Apparently, the second movie was more to her liking (She’s a Vin Diesel fan.) because she got on the couch beside my husband and watched with us.

In Prissy’s younger days, she would actually climb the Christmas tree, knocking ornaments and bows down along the way. I had to watch that girl 24/7 to make sure she didn’t hurt herself. Fortunately, Alexa (who’s weight would make things especially disasterous) seems content with staying on the ground.

I hope you, your furry babies and the rest of your family are enjoying every single magical second of Christmas! There’s really nothing quite like it.
