How to Win a Collector’s Heart with a Cat

Posted on | November 28, 2008 | No Comments

Well, yes, if said collector is also a cat lover, it can be easy enough, with more than one option. The one this post is about definitely is a winner:

A real Lenox fine china vase, beautifully detailed and trimmed with 24-carat gold. More importantly, it features a sweet little ivory cat, holding up the case as if it were a ball of yarn. The design is delicate yet whimsical, measuring 6.5 inches in height and 5 inches in base width.

Not only is the vase decorated with bas-relief flowers, but it also comes with the faux silk bouquet. It is beautiful, a work of art, and a classic by Lenox, making it a unique item for any china collector, or, even better, a collector of feline-themed decor items.

I know it looks expensive, but check out the price and details on Amazon - the affordability really struck me with this one. Who would have thought this lovely item will be available at under $30?? Hurry up though, the price is right for the day of posting, and they only have four of these vases left. Great gift for the Holidays!

World’s Best Cat Litter

Posted on | November 26, 2008 | No Comments

I always thought this was a nifty name for cat litter. Just the kind of thing someone might be typing in as a query in an Internet search engine: what’s the world’s best cat litter?

Well, this company grabbed it as their brand name too. And it’s quite a name that means they have to work hard to prove their claim.

Cat litters are made from such a variety of substances any more, it’s not surprising to find that this one is made from whole kernel corn. Apparently, the corn is  100% natural made entirely of plant material. It not only clumps well and is easy to scoop, but it’s also flushable, which means you don’t even have to pack carry smelly nylon bags outside anymore. Talking about smell, this litter has impressive odor control qualities with no added chemicals or scents. According to the manufacturer, this light-weight litter is easy to use and great for automatic litter boxes too. It’s safe too, which is a concern with other types of litter, and being long lasting and scoopable, it’s cost-effective as well. What else can you ask for? Maybe it is the world’s best cat litter after all?

Fun With Your Cat Science Kit

Posted on | November 25, 2008 | No Comments

Looking for a great gift for kids who love cats? Well, actually, I know many grownup cat lovers who are going to love this Kitty Kit… The name sounds a bit scary, I know my cats would have been intimidated by the prospects of combining cats, experiments and kids, but this one is perfectly cat-safe and as the manufacturer puts it “non-invasive”.

This happy looking package holds a multitude of components that allow users to make catnip toys, build special glasses to see the world the same way the cat does, and just information and suggestions for ways to observe and dechipher feline behavior.

This kit is marked for kids aged six and above, but young children should be accompanies while working with this kit. They may be able to understand the explanations, but their interaction with any cat should be supervised to prevent unpleasant events. While some cats may be accommodating subjects of “research”, other felines may feel uncomfortable even if just stared at for too long. This is where you need to step in as the responsible adult and make sure no stress is caused to the cat at any stage.

Other than that, this seems like a good way to promote better understanding between kids and cats, and to teach children about this fascinating animal which we all admire so much.

Petmate Pet Steps

Posted on | November 24, 2008 | No Comments

If you live with a young and agile cat, the concept of pet steps may look like a cute but redundant idea. After all, with a cat that can easily jump from the floor right on top of the kitchen counter, why on earth would you pay to construct kitty stairs?

Well, true enough, these stairs are not for young agile cats, or older agile cats even. They are for aging cats with arthritis or a similar condition that makes it more difficult for them to jump. They were originally planned for small toy dogs, and aging dogs too, but alas, some cats may require them as well.

And yes, even if your cat has no problem jumping, they will look cute and trigger conversation as your amused guests inquire about the odd construction attached to your sofa… Sheer gimmick or useful aid - depends on your cats and your household…

Box of 60 Zanies Real Fur Rattling Rainbow Mice in Cheese Box

Posted on | November 22, 2008 | No Comments

Many cats go crazy for fur fake mice - my own included. They are sought-after prey, to be batted around at leisure, then picked up and carried in one’s feline mouth to… who knows where. We end up buying them new toy mice, and later find the shredded or squashed remains of the other mice stashed away somewhere around the house.

It’s a good thing these toy mice aren’t that expensive and easily replaceable. However, if they are a favorite toy in your household, you may consider getting them in bulk to lower the costs even further.

This Box of 60 Fur Rattling Rainbow Mice can be a great option. With sixty mice, all catnip-treated for extra appeal, you can easily use a couple of mice a week and have the box last for many months.

By the way, if you’re wrapping up a gift for a friend who has cats, one or two of these can make a great addition - sort of like a stocking filler for cats…

Premier Come with me Kitty Harness

Posted on | November 13, 2008 | No Comments

Walking outdoors with a harness and leash may seem like a good idea. After all, this is a safe way to provide a cat with a supervised experience of the great outdoors, with its myriad of sounds, smells and sights.

Indeed with some cats it is just that. As long as you keep in mind that not every cat can be leash trained, and not all cats enjoy the exposure to the outdoors, having lived their entire life in a sheltered environment.

You can read more about how to leash and harness train your cat here. If you need a harness, why not try this Come with Me Kitty Harness & Leash? This manufacturer guarantees a safe way to control your cat’s movement: “Slight pressure on the bungee leash gently tightens the harness along the shoulders so that forward motion becomes safely restrained without putting pressure on the delicate throat area.”
