When it comes to accessories for pets, there is truly no end to the options. There are collars, houses, toys and treats it would be easy to get overwhelmed with all the many choices. Some may be a waste of money, but one pet product that every cat should have is a cat tree.
By nature cats enjoying hunting, climbing, and hiding out whether indoors or out. Apartment dwellers with cats or kittens sometimes have a problem since many don’t have backyards. Cats also enjoy exploring nooks and dark places in your house, hiding in boxes or drawers.
If you haven’t provided your cat or kitten the opportunity to use a scratching post then they are likely using your living room furniture. When you have a cat tree you give your cat the best of both worlds, the ability to play inside without the dangers of outside. This is not only a blast for the cats, but an important part of their health because it allows them to get the exercise they need.
While cats may love playing outdoors and climbing in trees whenever you let your cat outside you run the risk of them becoming lost or running into a bigger animal that may fight with your cat. So a cat tree is the ideal solution!
As you can tell by the above picture “The Pinnacle” Molly and Friends cat tree has several places to lay about in relax it also has two hidey holes for your cats to play or sleep in. This particular cat tree weighs about 145 pounds and ships fully assembled which means you don’t have to worry about putting screws in the wrong place and that’s another reason why it’s so sturdy because there’s no place for it to give out. It stands about 7 1/2 feet high and has a weighted base that won’t tip over.
You could buy three or four cheap cat trees that last few months (or maybe you have already) each or you could step up and purchase a cat tree that will last for a long time. The difference is quality Molly and Friends has been making cat furniture since 1997 that is handmade using real wood, quality carpet & sisal rope.
The ABO Gear Happy Habitat for Indoor Cats is a outside cat enclosure that lets your indoor cat enjoy the outdoors safely.
The ABO Gear Happy Habitat for Indoor Cats is perfect for those of you with indoor cats you want to let outside but are worried something might happen to them. With the habitat screen they are protected. Now you can work outdoors in your yard or sit on the patio in the evening and not be concerned if you do not keep a constant eye on your cat.
The Happy Habitat is also good for apartment dwellers without fences like me. You can also use it if you have an upstairs apartment with a deck or patio. I imagine you do not want to let your cat out in case they get lost or injured. The outdoor cat enclosure is just what you need to let your cat enjoy being outside.
You can use the cat tent both indoors and outdoors. Indoors it’s useful if you need to separate your cats for some reason like sickness.
You might consider putting the cat tent up in your home for a couple days to let your cats get used to the idea of being inside the enclosure. Then when they seem at ease take it outside, if it’s not too hot you can leave in the sunshine however; you should place the tent in partial shade or put a blanket on one side so your cat can get out of the heat if they choose. There’s enough room to place food, water, and litter box in the tent and still have room for the cat to play.
If you leave your cats unattended set a timer to check on them every few minutes especially if you don’t have a fenced in yard (there may be roaming dogs about). A good idea if you have the means is to place the cat enclosureoutside your kitchen window and you can watch the kitties while doing dishes or preparing a meal.
The ABO Gear Happy Habitat cat tent comes with stakes to secure it in the ground. The cat enclosure is see-thru so you can view your cat from all angles when checking up on him or her.
The tent is roughly 5 by 6 made from mesh with a mesh bottom. Just pull the string to open and press to close, it is that simple, then place the cat tent back into the carry bag. Weighing in at 2.5 pounds you can easily toss it into the car when you want to travel with your cat.
Here’s a quick video that shows how easy the outdoor cat enclosure is to set up and take down.
The Solvit pet step is the number one bestselling pet step at amazon.com it has many satisfied customer reviews and is extremely affordable. If you would like a detailed review of pet steps and pet ramps please click on that link.
Lets take a look at this great product.
First off folks think that you have to have an older dog to use pet steps, my response to this is they are never to young to start. The more your puppy uses the steps the less pressure is put on their joints and you can prolong the onset of arthritis or joint pain.
Plus this keeps the dog or cat less dependent on you, it can wear you out picking that dog or cat up and down all day long. Kittens love to climb so using pet stairs can help preserve your furniture, and once your cat gets to old to jump he may revert back to climbing.
So you can see it is smart to get pet steps.
The Solvit pet stairs brand holds up to 120 pounds even thought it weighs only five pounds which means you can carry it around the house to use in your bedroom if you decide not to get two, plus you can use it outside to help your pets get into the car or truck.
The pet step folds down for storage for those times you may not want your dog to get on the bed while you are gone. If you have a larger dog the pet steps are wonderful for training your dog not to jump on you in the middle of the night.
You can place the steps in a safe spot so you don’t get squished. So if you have a dog or cat or need a gift for a friend this would make a good one. if you would like more information use this link Pet Stairs Pet Steps.

The Bolt laser toy is no ordinary cat laser toy this baby is sizzling; I’m not sure which one of you will have the most fun the cat or you. Unlike other mouse lasers where you have to sit there and hold the controller and wiggle it all over to get your cat running and jumping all over, this laser toy does all the work, it has patterns built it or you can program your own. In fact you don’t have to hold the toy you can lay it on a table and just watch the cat shenanigans.
I know it’s a bit more expensive then a regular laser mouse however once those batteries are dead you have to throw the toy away. The bolt laser mouse cat toy takes 4 AA batteries (not included) so you will get to enjoy it forever.
The laser toy has a built in 15-minute timer so you can let the cats play while you go do something else you don’t need their help with.
You can switch from super laser back to manual and wiggle it around yourself like a regular laser too. Fantastic toy for cats!
Gee whiz just when I thought I couldn’t hear something stranger than tattooing King Tut on a kitty chest, I read this story. Are you sitting down? This happened before Christmas (I’ve been a bit out of the loop the boy came home from the Marine Corp for the Holidays) anyway, some woman placed an eBay Auction for gothic kittens.
Now I wondered what the heck that meant well, it was just horrible. I was staring at a picture that I wished I could have said was photoshopped. No such luck this woman had pierced her kittens ears, back, and necks and decided to place them up for auction. Makes you wonder if there is a whole pireced cat subculture underground somewhere
Kudos for the eBay users for turning in the woman who included her phone number in the ad.
