cardboard cat playhouse

for those of us who have cats with active imaginations, i proudly present the flat pack, fold together cat playhouses from suck uk…

what they need to do is sell an add-on kit for opposable kitty thumbs, so they can build it themselves. after all, cats need to feel empowered sometimes too.

it’s £15.00, and it’s (almost) available right here.

sick as a dog

my dog kaiser had emergency spinal surgery on friday. he couldn’t walk on thursday and we took him to the vet, where they found a herniated disc in his neck. he had to have the surgery or he would become paralyzed. he is recovering but is unable to stand up or walk on his own, so i am a big time rehab nurse right now. there’s a lot of flipping and cleaning and laundering and grooming going on and neither of us are too thrilled about it, but i can see that slowly, with great effort and difficulty, he is getting better. because of this there likely will be sporadic posting this week, and i apologize for that.

right before he started to become immobile

thanks for your patience.

sick day

i have a cold. does anyone know what walking pneumonia is? anyway i don’t feel good and am taking it easy today. i am so sleepy, which as you can see appears to be rubbing off on those around me.

is there strength in numbers? maybe not when it comes to colds. hopefully i will be back tomorrow tanned rested and ready for action.

marmalade wallflower scratching post

when i think of cat scratching posts, i visualize stumpy pieces of wood covered in bad carpeting in unfortunate colors mr. lucky would never approve of. not so with this wallflower scratching post from marmalade pet care. it comes in three happy colors and can be mounted on a wall to create a kind of interactive pet sculpture. it’s made of recycled corrugated cardboard and is 34″ x 3 1/2″ x 5″.

this is from the company that brought us the sweet lounge - a very high design for cat beds (in my humble opinion).

i know someone at home who would plotz if they were in his cat stocking this christmas.

purchase it all at muttropolis.
