For the entire month of December, Basepaws is offering deep discounts on their Breed and Health Test, Dental Health Test and Whole Genome Sequencing test. While it may seem a bit odd to think of a DNA test as a holiday gift, it’s really a gift for both you and your cat. It will tell you about your cat’s genetic make up and identify potential health issues so you can be proactive about them. Continue Reading

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! I want to tell you about my new favorite game! It’s called “Chasing Lights.” There are a couple of different ways I play it, but my favorite way is when Mom makes rainbow colored lights dance all over the living room. It’s so fun to try to catch them!Continue Reading

I almost declined when I first received the pitch to review a toy called KittyWhip. It just seemed like such an awful name for a cat toy. But once I took a look at the toys, I decided to accept – and I’m so glad I did.
At first glance, these toys don’t look like much. A string on a stick – how exciting could this possibly be?Continue Reading
Most cat parents get stressed at the thought of having to leave their cat, even if it’s only for a couple of days. And while you might be tempted to leave your cat for a weekend and just leave enough food and water for her, this is simply not a good idea.Continue Reading

I’m writing this enveloped by the warm spices of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves coming from the pumpkin pies in the oven. It’s Thanksgiving week and by the time you read this, it will have come and gone with just traces of leftover stuffing and maybe that last slice of pie.
There’s so much about the holidays that’s bittersweet.Continue Reading
If you’re looking for a movie to watch this weekend, I highly recommend The Electrical Life of Louis Wain. The movie is based on the true story of the eccentric British artist whose playful pictures transformed the public’s perception of cats forever. Set in the early 1900s, the movie follows Wain as he seeks to unlock the “electrical” mysteries of the world and, in so doing, to better understand his own life and the profound love he shared with his wife Emily Richardson. The movie is available on Amazon Prime (free for Prime members.)
If you missed any of the stories featured on the Conscious Cat this week, here’s a recap:Continue Reading

I do almost all of of my shopping online. I’m not a fan of crowded stores, especially not this time of year, and especially not when we’re still in the middle of a pandemic. The good news is that holiday shopping has never been easier, and lots of companies are offering some amazing Black Friday deals this weekend. I’ve rounded up some of them from our favorite brands for you. So get comfy with your favorite holiday beverage, a cat or two on your lap, and check out these deals!Continue Reading
I keep a gratitude journal all year long, but I do spend a little extra time on Thanksgiving reflecting on everything I’m thankful for. Continue Reading

Puzzle toys are a great way to keep your cats entertained and mentally stimulated when you can’t play with them. The toys are designed to be filled with treats or food, and they challenge kitty to retrieve the treats through varied openings in the toys.Continue Reading

We reviewed the Petlibro Automatic Capsule Fountain earlier this year. With so many fountains available, it can be hard to decide what’s good and what’s not. The two main things I look for in a fountain are that it needs to be easy to clean and easy to operate, but I also want it to look good and be quiet. This fountain hits all these marks. And now, it comes in four fun colors!Continue Reading
