Soft Hemp Cat Collars

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

This Silly Kitty range of natural hemp cat collars is great for pets with sensitive skin or who just get irritated by other collars. The hemp is strong but very soft and wears well. The style is the safety breakaway collar design and is easy to put on, staying on fairly well, though determined kitties can get them off!

The best thing about these hemp collars is that cats find them comfortable and don’t have problems with them rubbing their skin or wanting to scratch the whole time. Plus they come in a great range of colors. Oh and of course hemp is a really eco-friendly choice with a low environmental impact, so these collars are good for your pet and good for the planet!

Breakaway Hemp Cats Collars cost $9.99 from Only Natural Pet Store

Natural Pill Pockets For Cats

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Any cat owner will identify with the well-worn story about giving a cat a pill and ending up in ER. It’s never easy to fool a cat into taking a pill, but these tasty pill pockets seem to work with more than half the cat population. They are soft and taste of a delicious treat.

All you do is hide the pill in the hole and pinch together the pocket. The cat thinks she’s getting a treat and swallows without noticing the pill, unless she is very smart and picky!

The pill pockets also contain probiotics and vitamins C and E so are helping boost the immune system along with the pill. The 1.6oz bag contains 45 pills and comes in either chicken or salmon flavor.

Costs  $9.95 from Jake’s Dog House

Toilet Train Your Cat

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

If you’ve dreamed of getting rid of the litter box, this cat training toilet seat could be the answer. Apparently some cats take to it easily, though other owners had no luck with it. The idea is that you train your cat to use the seat at floor level with a litter box underneath and then graduate to your pet using the seat on the actual toilet, saving the use of litter ever after. For dedicated owners this could be a great way of helping the environment and doing away with all that used litter filling up landfill sites, but it does take quite a bit of effort to make it work and depends entirely on your cat whether it will oblige! Worth a try, though it is quite expensive if it doesn’t work.

Currently costs $72.59 at Amazon.com
