Mews and Nips: Google Street View for Cats

Do cats need maps? Maybe not, but the Hiroshima perfecture thought tourists might want to see their city from a different purrspective, and created what it calls the world’s first “cat’s eye view map,” which uses 360-degree cameras similar to those used for Google Street View. According to the Wall Street Journal, the map covers a shopping arcade and surrounding areas. It includes most features seen on other interactive online maps, such as camera angle functions and details about local shop...

Kathy Ireland Loved Ones Cat Furniture now Available from Amazon

I was first introduced to Kathy Ireland’s Loved Ones line of pet product at the 2014 Global Pet Expo (where I also got to meet Kathy herself, which was an absolute thrill.) This line of pet products is not just another so so line with a celebrity name attached to it.

Ireland, who grew up with animals and shares her home with six dogs, one cat (at one time, she had nine,) a gecko, and numerous guppies, wanted her pet products to combine function with style, and she also wanted them to be safe...

Introducing Nuzzle: More Love, Less Worry

This post is sponsored by Nuzzle

I can’t imagine anything more heartbreaking than a cat getting out of the house and going missing. I’m a firm proponent that all cats should be indoors, but I also realize that keeping cats indoors can be a controversial topic. But even with indoor only cats, accidents happen, and a cat may slip out and disappear.

With the advent of GPS tracking collars, finding a lost pet has become much more likely than it ever was before. Nuzzle combines sleek design with...

Ruby’s Reflections: It’s my 5th Birthday!

Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Guess what! I’m five years old today!

Mom says she can’t believe how fast time has flown by. She says I will always be her kitten because I sure don’t act like a grown up. I think she means it as compliment…

Allegra: You keep telling yourself that, Ruby.

Ruby: blows raspberry at Allegra.

With Mom, the day she brought me home. Doesn’t she look happy?

I can’t wait to see what Mom and Allegra have planned for me to celebrate my special day. Tuna cake for everyone!

The po...

Conscious Cat Sunday: Soften the End of Summer Blues

One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter.- Henry David Thoreau

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is Labor Day in the US, which marks the unofficial end of summer. As a summer girl, I always get a little sad this weekend. I love everything about summer: long days, plentiful sun and heat, and the more relaxed pace of life. And even though I’ve been out of school for more decades than I care to admit, I still get that “back to school” feeling this time of year – a...
