More festive fun…

I’ve put my cat Stole in this video nasty for Christmas – it seems to suit her character more than the other cats, she can be nasty when she feels like it.

I’ve been playing on http://jibjab.com putting cat faces on elves. Oh, the fun you can have putting your family and pets in the pictures and movies.

Cat in Collar and Tie

Some poor cats will be wearing their Christmas gifts this year as more cat outfits become available.

Many will probably only be on the cat long enough for the photographs (but who can resist). You can put a hat on a cat but you cannot make it wear it.

Cat outfits are more for the amusement of their owners and many of us have been guilty, only you’d better be quick with the camera. Have you ever tried to get a wriggling cat to wear a Santa hat while you take a photograph?

Novelty Flower Lounger

This unusual Spider Flower Lounger really makes a statement. It can be placed either way up, the center is padded on both sides with thermal liner for your cat’s comfort. The smaller petals are 6”x 6” and the larger petals are six 6” x 12”. By reversing the Spider you give your cat a varying sized play area under the unit and cats love to crawl underneath. You should be able to tell by the level of cat activity which way your cat prefers to have it sitting, but you can turn it over now and then for a different “look and feel”.

The molded leaves are designed to “flex” which cushions the landing and prevents excessive wear and tear on joints, especially of older cats, when they jump onto the lounger. As it is lower than most cat trees it is ideal for older cats and also for kittens as they are starting to explore their world.
