Favorite Pet Strollers for Cats

Do you wish to take your indoor cat(s) outside? I did. I know how they love looking out the windows, especially when the window is open and they can breathe the outside air through the screen.


I've had cats before that we used to let outdoors, but ended up determining that it was better for them to be indoors in a safer environment, that was also flea free. So I made the venture to purchase a pet stroller. It looks similar to this one, but it didn't have a cup holder, which is actually a nice addition.

I also chose this style, because it has the upper and rear screen which allows the pet to look up and/or back at me. I think that helps to reassure them that you are nearby, and I can more easily see them.

It worked well for the both of our cats when they were smaller. Then I took them on individual rides so that they could move about more freely. If I were to get another pet stroller at some time, I think I'd go for for a larger option.

You can check out more pet stroller options here; this link goes to Amazon. I had read a review by an Amazon customer who said that at 30" x 13"" stroller worked well for her two cats to ride at the same time.

If your cat hasn't been on a stroller ride yet, then I recommend that you allow them time to get accustomed to the smells of it first, and getting them in and out of it while still indoors. If you have room inside, take them for little rides inside your home so that they are more familiar with riding in it before their first outdoor day ride.

Cat beds - location matters

Hello cat lovers.

We have several different types of cat beds in various rooms, throughout our house. In 2014, I purchased two new cat beds for Christmas presents. The two new ones were the same exact style and print. Both of the cats have laid in one bed multiple times, but not in the other bed.

I had gotten the new beds to replace some that weren't being used. One in particular was a larger bed. I thought it was all about the size and style. So I had purchased two smaller type beds, figuring they could snuggle in them better.


I placed this larger bed on the bench under the dining room table. My plan was to clean it up and donate it to the cat shelter. But lo and behold, once it was placed in this new location, my cat Sunny claimed it.

She has gotten in this bed on a daily basis since it's been moved. Who knew? Location must matter to cats.

So if your cat is not liking a particular cat bed, maybe try placing it in a new location before purchasing a new one.

If you need a new cat bed, check out these cat beds for indoor cats on Amazon.

Cat is dogs' best friend dog pet tags

I've heard it many times before, and perhaps so have you; they saying - "Dog is man's best friend."

I do beg to differ and also to ask the question, "Who is dog's best friend?"

My answer to who is man's best friend and who is dog's best friend, is the same, - a cat.

I've had both dogs and cats as a kid as I was growing up. Perhaps I developed a closer relationship with my cat, as she was a house cat and she would curl up in my lap, snuggle close by, and listen to all my ramblings with no judgment.

Most of our dogs were kept outside. So it might have been different were they inside dogs. But nevertheless, I and many others, claim cats as our best friends.

And I've seen many dogs also appreciate and love cats. I've seen them bathe kittens and snuggle up with the furry felines. Yes, some have had their differences and have argued over whose bed it is. But brought up together, they can also be the best of pals.



This custom pet tag is made of burnished silver and features an outline drawing of a cat, with the statement, "My best friend is a cat." It is UV resistant and has a waterproof coating.

It can also be customized with a phone number for ID purposes.

Do you have a dog whose best friend is a cat?

Cute and Cool Cat Mugs for Cat Lovers

I bought my daughter a cat mug and she really likes it. Cats are both hers' and my favorite animal.

The designs are printed on the mugs by Zazzle.com, an online print on demand company.

This is me pictured with our cat Sunny. She is our tortoiseshell cat.




Below is a vignette of a painting that I did of Sunny. Isn't she pretty?


This next painting was done of our cat Muffin. She is a black and white tuxedo cat.



She looks quite handsome and happy. I painted her picture using pointillism.

This is the mug that I bought for my daughter. The blues go really well together.

We love to pet our cats. It helps to keep them calm and us too.

Any of the designs can be ordered on the mug style(s) of your choice.

How many cats do you have? We currently have one. Sunny and Muffin have passed on, and then we adopted Tori.

Keep Calm and Pet Cats Tee Shirts

If you're a cat lover like me, then you know that cats can have a calming affect, especially when you stop whatever else you're doing at the time, and focus on petting the cat.

I know that my cats really appreciate the attention when I am truly focused on them and their joy. I can tell a difference too in how I feel too.

This tshirt can be a fun reminder to you and to anyone reading it, to Keep Calm and Pet Cats.



And when we pet them to their satisfaction, they sometimes lovingly reward us with a purr.

Purr-fect Trick or Treat Cat Bags for Halloween

Does your child or children love cats? Do they also like Trick or Treating on Halloween? If they do, consider canvas Halloween bags decorated with cats.

The bags are sturdier than plastic ones, and the handles are well secured. You can choose from various styles and sizes.

This first bag features a pumpkin with a cute cat face.



This bag features the same design as an outline drawing. The kids can have fun painting it.



This next color in option features a kitten coming out of the top of the pumpkin.


I recommend fabric paint markers for ease of coloring on the tote bags. These markers are found on Amazon.

For a fun design that is already colorful, check out this ghostly looking pumpkin design.


The designs can be ordered on different bag styles, colors, and sizes. I recommend the bags with a lighter color, to help the trick or treaters to more easily be seen in the evening.

Acrobat Cat Cards and Shirts

As we know, cats are very flexible; some might even say acrobatic. Do you like the positions that your cats can get in to? Do they remind you of an acrobat? They also remind me of many yoga poses.

If your cats positions bring a smile to your face, you'll probably enjoy the designs below.

First, is a vintage style design of a balancing cat act. If these cats were on America's Got Talent, I would surely vote for them. These postcards are purr-fect to send with your friendly greetings.




I've seen videos of dogs walking on their front legs; I guess that cats can do it too. This design can be ordered on the note card or the greeting card size.



Do your cats stretch out across the floor, as if they were gliding or flying? Mine do. I did the original painting from my cat doing just that. This cute design is printed on t-shirts; it's a fun gift for cat lovers of all ages. You can also select the tshirt style that you like best.

I hope that you enjoyed my selection and that you have a purr-fect day.
