I was still interested when Live Odor Free!® approached me about featuring their products, because I’m always looking for safe, non-toxic and fragrance-free household cleaners to share with you. Live Odor Free!® checks all those boxes.Continue Reading

We reviewed the Petlibro Automatic Capsule Fountain earlier this year and featured it again last week, when we announced that it comes in new fun colors, along with a 20% discount. Today, we’re featuring Petlibro’s stainless steel fountain, since many of you expressed interest in it. 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. While we haven’t had a chance yet to review this fountain, it appears to meet all these requirements.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

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

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
