Under Pet Humor
By Kathie Freeman
Cats are becoming increasingly popular as pets these days, and
a big question is, how many cats should a family have? For some
people, one is more than enough, others have half a dozen or
more. Here are some sure- fire ways to know when you’ve reached
your limit.
You know you have too many cats when:
Your annual cat food bill is more than the combined Gross
National Product of Liechtenstein, Andorra, and San Marino.
Your last three cats are named Puss, Kitty-cat, and Hey You.
You and your spouse are sleeping on the floor because there’s
no more room in the bed.
The cleaning lady at the vet’s office calls you by your first
name.
All your windowsills are occupied.
Your neighbors forget your last name and start referring to you
as “you know, the cat people”.
You have to change the vacuum cleaner bags every week.
You’re running out of corners to put litter boxes in.
Even your coffee table has a slip cover.
The most important crop in your garden every year is catnip.
You can’t remember what a house plant looks like.
Flea collars smell good to you.
You actually understand what your cats are saying.
More than half your mail comes from Purina and Friskies.
Every year you get a personally autographed Christmas card from
Morris.
Your cat door has been replaced three times.
For Mothers Day last year the kids pooled their money and
bought you an electric cat brush.
You thought it was the perfect gift.

Under Cat Care+ Furniture
By Jesse Akre
It never fails, every time that you go to bed your cat decides
that it is time to play. And, the kicker is that it always
decides the best way to play is by running and jumping on and
off your bed. Well, there is a simple solution to this problem,
just turn to cat trees. They give your cat a nice place to expel
its energy and you can put it far from your bedroom so you can
get a good night’s rest.
What makes cat trees such a great option for your cat to play
around is their design, which will normally feature
interconnecting limbs, perches, and levels where you cat can
easily jump and climb. They are made from wood that is usually
covered in some kind of durable fabric, like carpeting, so it
also provides your kitty with a place where it can scratch and
claw, a great alternative to your furniture. Some cat trees will
even have toys, like those of the hanging variety, built right
into them and others will even feature sleeping areas.
Cat trees are just one of the many cat furniture options that
are available and some of the other choices include cat houses
or kitty condos, cat gyms, cat houses, and lovely cat beds. Each
serves a different purpose and is a great option for pampering
your cat. Like a cat house or kitty condo is the perfect spot
where you cat can sleep while the cat gym is just another great
option where you cat could play and have a good time. Cat beds
also provide nice sleeping areas and what’s great about them is
how they are smaller in size so they can fit pretty much
anywhere.
If you are not in the market for cat trees or furniture, but
still want to pamper your furry little friend, no problem
because there are a lot of other products and items that let you
do just that. For example, you can get your cat some jewelry to
give it a glamorous appearance. Or for a nice place to eat its
food, turn to decorative food and water dishes. There are even
kitty litters that clean themselves so your cat will have a
clean, fresh spot to go every time that it needs to.
For a fast and easy way to check out all the items that you can
get for your cat, forget about going to your local pet store.
Instead, just hop on the Internet and do some online shopping.
There you can breeze through all the selections and when you do
come across what you want, it is shipped right to your door so
you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home.
So, if your cat is keeping you up all night long with its crazy
ways, give it a nice spot to get rid of its energy with lovely
cat trees. One is an ideal solution option to ensure that you
finally get a good night’s sleep.
