Unique Custom Made Cat Scratching Trees & Cat Condos

This wooden, unique and custom made cat scratching tree, is one of my (and my cat’s) all time favorites!
It is build in a way to resemble a real big oak tree which cats love to climb in the nature.  It’s called “Little oak” because the manufactures also have a bigger version available.

The thing I really like about this custom made cat scratching condo, is that it gives your indoor house cat the feel of climbing up and down a real oak tree, hiding inside of its trunk, chasing (if you  have 2 cats) the other cat up and down it, and simply lounging comfortably on the many “leaves” and perches around it.

The Little Oak Cat Scratching Tree

Little Oak Cat Scratching Tree

Another great thing about this cat condo tree are the soft, padded leaves around the scratchable trunk of this unique cat scratching tree.

These large soft leaves are made especially to nestle your cat and provide additional comfort with extra padding and a thick thermal layer which keeps your cat very nice and warm.

The leaves of the cat climbing tree are attached to the trunk with a special brace that allows it to “flex” under the cat’s weight.

So that when your cat climbs or jumps onto a leaf it has a built-in shock absorber that cushions the landing and is easier on your cat’s joints and back.

This is especially good for older cats with back issues or other health problems.

It also guarantees that the leaf won’t suddenly brake off and injure your cat.

Each of the nine holes in the tree lead to the cushioned center of the cat scratching tree where your cat can snooze, sleep or climb in and out of.

The cozy top platform is soft with extra padding and a thermal layer to keep your cat warm during winter.

Because of the wide, round base of the designer cat scratching tree;  this cat scratching tree will not tip over from your cat jumping up on it but it might if you jump on it yourself. :-D

Product Description:

Approximate Heights: 60″ (5ft)
Approximate Width: 54″
Trunk Diameter: 12″
Weight: 115 lbs

The Little Oak comes in these colors:
Top Inside: Green
Top Rim: Light Tan

Trunk: Brown Fleck
Leaves: Sage
Leaf Stem: Light Tan

Base: Brown

What the manufacture has to say about it:

  • Our molded leaves are designed to “flex” which cushions the landing and prevents excessive wear and tear on joints, especially of older cats, when they jump onto the Tree.
  • Commercial grade carpeting is used throughout the entire Cat Tree, including the lining inside the holes in the trunk.
  • All our beds and larger leaves have a “thermal” lining that retains the cat’s body heat providing greater comfort.
  • An extra wide base is added to all units providing greater stability and preventing tipping under normal use.

Cat Gets Stuck in Bomb Detection Machine in Newport Airport

Nervous Fat Cat Stuck in Airport

Fat Cat

Fat Cat

Two days ago, a fat nervous kitty got herself lodged under a bomb-detection machine at Newark  Airport during the morning rush hour, making its owner miss her flight to Florida and go through 20 minutes hassle to get her out again.

A woman and her young daughter had the brown-and-black cat in a carrier but when they removed it so the container could go through the X-ray machine, the freaked-out feline ran under the CTX explosive-detection device, Port Authority officials said.

They didn’t think of opening a jar of tuna to lure her out again or giving her a cat treat, instead they called the police who tried using a snare to get her out but the cat avoided it cleverly.

They then used a hydraulic device to lift the thousand pound CTX machine and free the fat cat that had worked its way under 4 inches of clearance.

That checkpoint was closed and passengers were diverted to another machine.

The combination of the snare and a “hydraulic spreader” to lift an end of the bomb-detection machine allowed the officers to free the cat and return it to the owner and her daughter.

“The guys did a good job,” Booncome said.

The woman and her daughter missed their Continental Airlines flight to Florida, but were ecstatic that the cat was unharmed. They planned to return for departure today.

The woman seemed very stressed out but the fat cat didn’t seem to be bothered one single bit.

It simply lay there and seemed to smile.

Should City Cats be Kept Indoors or Also be Let Outdoors some Times?

What is Better: Indoor Only Cat or Outdoor Only Cat? Or both?

Tabby Outdoor Ginger climbing trees

Tabby Outdoor Ginger climbing trees

Today’s big question is:  Should one keep a cat inside or also let it outdoors?

To answer this question you first have to ask yourself a few questions.  These are:

  1. Do I live somewhere safe where my cat can run around safely without being startled by a loud noise, chased by a dog or crushed by a car? Does my cat WANT to go out?
  2. Does she love to hunt and climb trees?
  3. Or is she sleeping all day long on the couch?
  4. Is she bored indoors all the time? Did she ever go out before on her own?
  5. Do I have a nice safe garden in which she could play and round around in?
  6. Can I make sure that she won’t run away if I let her out?
  7. Will I be there to make sure she can get indoors again?

If you live in the middle of a city it may be unwise to let your cat run around outside between the many people, the sounds, the cars and the traffic.  A noise might startle her and she might run into the road and get killed. Or perhaps a dog will see her and chase her and maybe bight her. What will happen if she gets lost or runs away scared from the noise and strange smells?
Some people take their cats on walks even if they do live  in a city.

They simply tye  a leash to the cat’s neck and dragg her along behind them.

Unhappy Tabby Cat on Leash

Unhappy Tabby Cat on Leash

However, I do not think that your cat would appreciate it very much if you would walk her people do their dogs.

Here are a few reasons why cats don’t tend to like leashes:

  • They feel caught and trapped by being tied up to you, since if there is any danger such as a passing dog, they won’t be able to jump up a tree to hide, but will have to scramble up you instead (which won’t be very pleasant for you or your cat!).
  • Cat’s HATE things tied around their bodies, or necks. Unless you got your cat used to it from a very young age, most cats will never get used to being walked on a leash
  • CATS ARE NOT DOGS! Cats like to have their own way in life,  and the same goes in walks.
  • Loud noises scare cats and if you live in a loud noisy city, then walking your cat outside in the midst of the honking and beeping might really scare the life and death out of your cat!
  • Cats like to run around outdoors – but not in the streets. They like the parks, the bushes, the trees and the quiet places. If you do not live by a park or do not have a nice bushy garden in your backyard then you should consider other alternatives….
  • Cats love to run, run, run! On a leash however, they cannot run, run, run unless you feel like racing after your cat into all kinds  of nooks and corners, while bumping into any passerbys with your cat racing between their feet!

So what to do if you live in a city apartment and still want your cat to have fun running around and chasing things?

Here are some tips how to keep indoor only cats entertained, happy and sporty!

  1. Make sure that your cat has lots of cat toys to chase around after and gnaw at.
  2. Get your cat a high cat scratching tree, which she can climb up and down and jump from perch to perch.
  3. Tye a string to one of your cat’s favorite mice, treats or toys and pull it across the floor, having your cat chase after it.
  4. If your cat is a lonely cat, you might want to consider adopting another cat as a play mate for yours. Cats often get lonely if you are away a lot so another cat would keep your cat company.
  5. Have your cat run around the apartment after a remote controlled cat mouse toy.

  6. Put a warm, comfy cat bed on the window sill for your cat to be able to see the outside world.
  7. Try taking your cat for walks in a pet cat stroller.

Have a purrrrfect day!

Five Tips how to keep your Cat’s Food safe from Your Dog!

Does Your Dog Eat up Poor little Kitty’s Food?

Is your cat meowing miserably because when she finally gets to the food dish it is empty and she’s left  hungry?
Does your dog gobble up both HIS food and your CAT’S food?
Have you tried everything you could think of to stop your dog from eating up your cat’s food and lost?

Are you FED UP???

If so, read these tips on how to prevent your dog from eating up your cat’s food.

How to Keep your Dog out of your Cat’s Food Dish!

  1. Get a square cardboard box from a local supermarket or book shop.
    The size of the cardboard box depends on the size of your cat:
    If your cat is a big maine coon cat for example, then it would be best to get a big sized box in which your cat could comfortably fit.
    However, if you have a small cat, you needn’t get a such a big box.
  2. Place the opening of the box upside down onto the floor where your cat normally eats.
  3. Cut a small flap hole into one of the sides of the box just big enough for your cat to squeeze through. Make sure that there is no chance that your dog could fit even just his head through it.
  4. Place your cat’s food dish inside of the cardboard box.
  5. To make sure that the box won’t tip over or be knocked over by your dog, place some heavy books or stones on top of it.

Stand back and see the affect!

TIP: If this doesn’t work, then try feeding your cat and dog in different rooms with the doors shut between them so that the dog won’t be able to get at your cat’s food dish.

Good Luck!

This can be especially useful if you aren’t at home often and wish your cat to have enough food, yet not to overdose himself on food either or get fat.

    Since some cats will never stop eating and no amount of cat food is too much for them, we do not wish for our cats to become obese or fat cats, do we?

    The Automatic cat food dispenser makes sure that your cat will get enough cat food for it to be nice and full, however not too much cat food that will either go bad, make kitty fat or get eaten by ants and bugs.

    Through programming the automatic cat food dispenser to release cat food at different times of the day, your cat will be able to have as many meals as it is used to or needs to have.

    Another kind of cat food dispenser is a auto cat food dispenser in which you place a bowl of cat food and a bowl of water for your cat. You then tell the cat food dispenser when to open and HOWdididi! there is your cats food!

After a cat has eaten the amount of cat food in it’s dish, the dish automatically fills up when the next amount of cat food pours into it to fill it up again.

    Is Your Cat a Fat Cat? Try this…

    Fat cats are common problems these days, since many people can’t take there cat out for walks, especially if you live in a city apartment, it might be very dangerous to let your cat go outside.

    She might be run over, eaten by a dog, bitten, frightened and so much more!

    Another problem that might cause your cat to be fat, is like with humans, the problem of ‘over eating’.
    If you are not at home to check how much your cat is eating, she or he could quickly develop fat rolls and jiggling fats from eating too much.

    Cats generally don’t know when to stop eating and will eat a lot if not supervised.

    too muchh food momy!!

    too muchh food momy!!

    Here are Five Tips to Prevent Your Cat from eating too much:

    1. Never overfill your cat’s food dish. You can always top it up later.
    2. Don’t give your cat any greesy foods that YOU eat.
    3. Don’t let your cat deside how much she is going to eat. YOU deside it!
    4. Get your cat a automatic cat food feeder if you have to leave her alone at home.
      (it will help you and your cat very much, since it will prohibit your cat from eating too much!)
    5. Give your cat fresh meats and raw eat to eat. It is healthy and natural and won’t make your cat as fat as other foods may!

    How much you feed your cat and what you feed it, are one of the leading things that make cats fat.
    But not only that!

    Cats need to excersize themselves, just like you and i need to do. They however, can’t go to a gym or sports classes.

    Their sports classes and gym, has to be at home.

    Hey, i feel a little bit too fat...

    Hey, can i have som more popcorn pleez?

    Most house cat aren’t motivated to do any excersize, to run around in circles after their tales, or jump on your tables.
    They’d much rather sit and get fat.

    That is why YOU have to help your cat stay thin and entertain her with fun toys and games!

    The more your cat will run after a mouse or string, the faster it will burn away its fat and get thin again.

    Five best games and toys for cats:

    1. A Cat Mouse (kitty loves to play with mice and bite them, rub against them and chuck them across the floor and run around after it)
    2. Feather on a string (looks like a bird and makes cat jump around after it)
    3. Electric cat toy mouse (runs around and makes kitty chase after it)
    4. Laser pointer cat toy (cat doesn’t know where the light comes from and runs crazily after it. Getting rid of another fat roll!)
    5. Undercover Cat mouse toy (mouse runs around and around under a cover and cats go crazy)

    You can find all these cat mouse toys and many more over here.

    Hope your cat gets thin soon and make sure to take a look at those cat toys for your cat!

    Did Santa Bring Something for Kitty too?

    I'm waiting,...for my present!!

    I'm waiting momy...for my present!!

    “While all of us humans are getting fancy gifts, parcels and boxes, kitty feels totally left out on the side.

    Hasn’t she been good? Doesn’t she also deserve a Christmas present from Santa? All the colors and things excite kitty and yet no one pays her any attention. She crawls under the christmas tree and paws at a red crystal ball hanging from the tree. It looks so pretty! Suddenly, a human voice shouts at her to “Get out of there! You’re ruining the Christmas tree!!”
    Frightened kitty crawls out again and sits on the side again.

    She watches as everyone starts to unpack the Christmas presents, tearing their raping off and laughing and smiling as they do so. Kitty sighs and lies down on the floor.

    I wantz also a gift from zanta!

    I wantz also a gift from santa!

    Why nothing for her? Just as she is about to go to sleep, a parcel is placed down infront of her nose.

    Kitty opens up her eyes again and looks interestedly at it.

    She stretches, yawns and then gets up.

    She sniffs at it the box and tries to bites at the thing.

    Kitty pulls at a string that is hanging down from it and heyho! the box opens up!
    Kitty opens wide eyes at what things she sees inside of it!!

    What wonderful treats are lying there, what toys, what cuddly beds!
    Happyness fills kitty and she jumps forwards onto the mice and snaps up the treats! Santa DID remember her after all! A few minutes later, mice are flying around the christmas tree, people are smiling and holding up what they got with a pleased grin, and in behind all, on a cozy soft bed, with mice lying all around her and cat treats in her belly, lies the happiest little cat in the world, smiling from ear to ear!”

    That was a nice little story wasn’t it? But what about making it into reality this christmas, for YOUR cat? Imagine how she will happy and purr when you give her all those lovely cat toys and cat treats for christmas!

    Cats Love to play with cat toy mice, and that is a well known fact.

    It is in your cat’s nature to chase after mice, hunt mice and protect your house from dangerous pets such as mice.  Now a days, cats don’t always get a chance to chase after a real live mouse in your house (especially if you fumigate often and live in an apartment).

    Therefore, apartment cats usually tend to get fat and lazy.
    And you really don’t want your cat to be fat do you?

    That’s why some cat owners get there cats, cat toys, cat mice, cat scratching trees and other things to entertain their cats, and prevent them from getting plump and fat.

    Some cat mice toys are better than others, for instance; natural cat mouse toys are healthier for your cat and safer than hard plastic cat toys from China.

    Cats also love to eat and sniff at catnip, so a natural catnip mouse toy is probably the best cat toy you could get for your cat!

    These are this months most beloved natural cat mouse toys:
