Holiday Gifts for Cool Kitties!

Sparkle — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:00:50 +0000

I imagine that most humans will go to their local pet store chain to get their cats gifts this holiday season. But maybe some of you kitties out there already have Da Bird, a Cat Dancer, a fairly decent cat tree and various catnip mice. If you want a little something out of the ordinary, point your humans toward this page — maybe it will inspire them!

Leopard House
I like this cool bed because it has lots of privacy and we kitties can pretend we’re fierce jungle creatures! It comes in your choice of three different wild animal prints and there are two sizes, for smaller and larger kitties. I bet this bed would make you dream you were running down a gazelle!

Heatable Cat Bed
Since it’s pink, this is clearly a bed for girl kitties! It comes with a microwaveable, herbal insert so it’s warm, like laying near the heater without the risk of burning your fur! Plus it comes with toy kitties attached to it, so you can snuggle up against them, or beat them up if you’re in a feisty mood.

Bergan Turbo Track
Now this looks like a load of fun for both you and your human! It’s a special track with a ball in it. You can enjoy chasing the ball around the track, and your human can enjoy assembling it in several different configurations, so it’s like a new toy all over again! In fact, if your humans got a bunch of these, they could build a track that went all over the house!

From the Field Purrrfect Deluxe Cat Toy Gift Set
This is a great gift for kitties who like being earth-friendly! It contains a pair of hemp mousies, catnip, catnip spray and a lightweight cork ball to bat around! All of it in a little vinyl gift bag. This would make a perfect Secret Paws-type gift!

Kitty Window Chaise
Why try to fit yourself on a tiny window ledge or hang out on an ordinary carpeted platform when you can have your very own Window Chaise? This item looks like the height of kitty comfort — it even has 2″ thick orthopedic foam, and the bolsters are comfy faux suede. With this perch, you can watch birds and keep an eye out for intruders in luxury!

And always, humans should wrap their kitty gifts in big boxes with lots and lots of wrapping paper — that way, it’s like giving your cat three gifts in one. They can dive into the wrapping paper, hang out in the boxes and have fun with their new presents!

My Disclosure: The links to these kitty gifts are what are called “affiliate” links, which means if you click on them and buy anything from the website, I get a small commission! Unfortunately, I did not get any of these things to try out myself, I only wrote about them because I thought they looked cool. If you want to shop somewhere without my affiliate links, I recommend you visit suppliesjust4pets.com — it’s a store run by the human of my friend, Baby Patches! Baby Patches gets to try out a lot of their toys. She is a very lucky kitty!

Kittywalk Closet Sleeper

Sparkle — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:23:27 +0000

My human is always dragging Binga out of the closet. Why? Because one of Binga’s favorite places to nap is on the clothes she carelessly throws in there. A better idea would be to get her this cool bed, which hangs from any handy closet rail. Holds kitties up to 15 lbs., making it a perfect fit for 12-lb. Binga. The only problem this cat bed doesn’t solve is my human’s sloppiness.

Thermo-Kitty Cabin

Sparkle — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:11:56 +0000

In the winter, my human always gets mad at us kitties for lying on the floor heaters. She thinks it’s not good for us, and our loose cat fur causes a fire hazard. Well, maybe if she got this reasonably-priced, heated cat tent, we’d have a better option for a warm, comfy nap. Not only is it heated to an ideal 102 degrees, it also gives us privacy and its pyramid shape reminds us of ancient Egypt, when we were worshipped the way we should be.

Kitty Cottage Odorless Litterbox Cover

Sparkle — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 02:02:03 +0000

Isn’t this litterbox cover charming? There’s even attic storage space including a door with brass hinges and cedar shake shingles. It’s almost too cute to use as a commode! And you can, of course, just have it for your cat’s own private home-away-from-home (every cat should have a hiding place that’s nicer than the underside of your bed). Oh, and if you do use it to cover your cat’s litterbox, it has an integrated carbon filter pad that I hear was originally designed for the space program. Old world appeal and new world technology—what more could a kitty want? From Cat’s Play.com.

Miracle Beam Laser Cat Toy

Sparkle — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:26:39 +0000

My dumb human didn’t understand the appeal of this toy until she was playing with a flashlight one day and all us cats started chasing the beam. A laser’s better because it’s ultra-bright and concentrated. So let that be a lesson — when it comes to cat toys, don’t listen to humans — pay attention to what we cats have to say!

Cat Washroom Litterbox Cabinet

Sparkle — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 02:22:09 +0000

I don’t get the whole “washroom” thing—I, for one, would never even consider bathing in my litterbox. But whatever. Use this solid wood veneer cabinet as a litter box concealer—the front door opens completely so humans can easily clean out the (not included) litter box. The shelf on top can be used for a few non-cat items, decorative or not. Supposedly, this could also be used as a “bedside hut,” a combination nightstand/ sleeping area for the bedroom. But any smart human knows that the cat sleeps on the bed, not in a nightstand. Comes in white and espresso. From Drs. Foster and Smith.

Posies with Heart Charm Necklace

Sparkle — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 04:16:33 +0000

This sweetly feminine necklace disguises the fact that underneath your pretty exterior is a finely-tuned hunting machine! The flowers glitter with Austrian Swarovski crystals and each necklace is carefully fashioned by human hand. Comes in your choice of finish, 23K gold or silver. A work of art for a discerning kitty (like you)!

Love My Cat Photo Frame Bracelet

Sparkle — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:49:17 +0000

This is a fancy looking bracelet at a really great price (in case you’re cheap like my human is), but the best part is you can put a photo of your cat in the dangling photo frame. Don’t have a cat? Then put in a picture of me!

The Refined Litterbox

Sparkle — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 06:07:00 +0000

The name says it all: This wood litter box cabinet makes a welcome accent to any room, while satisfying the needs of your cat. It comes in a variety of finishes to match your decor: birch (shown), mahogany, honey or espresso. The cabinet opens up for cleaning and there’s a top drawer for storing small items, like cat toys. The door is reversible for right or left entry. There’s also a larger size to fit electronic litterboxes! Now you humans have no excuse when it comes to giving us pristine, classy bathroom facilities! From Cat’s Play.

Personalized Rhinestone Slide Letter & Charm Collar

Sparkle — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:46:46 +0000

Attention all trend-setting kitties—this collar has your name all over it (perhaps literally)! The slider charms are coated with Rhodium and contain genuine Swarovski crystals, so they ooze class. Even the collar’s clasp has little rhinestones embedded in it. There are loads of charms and colors to choose from, and 4 different collar sizes—even sizes big enough for a human or… ahem!… a dog. This collar is a must-have for every well-dressed cat this season.
