Sweet Kitties – Some Valentine Love

Christmas has past and I don’t know about you, but my kitty didn’t get anything from Santa in her stocking.  I don’t know where the time went, I guess Santa was too busy making things for other people.  My old kitty (sweet 16) was quite fortunate in 2011 however, so I think she will forgive me.  She has had Hyperthyroid and kidney function problems for almost two years now.  I give her medicine twice a week and feed her special food.  In October she developed breathing problems.  After a visit to the vet and a couple to the kitty emergency room they figured out that she had a severe urinary tract infection.  After treating her with the proper medication she recovered quite quickly and began eating and drinking again and recovered her strength.  I have to say that was a very scary time and I am even more sensitive to any unusual behavior in my kitty.  I definitely treasure everyday I have with her.

  New for 2012 – Heart fabric

Limited quantities of stripe fabric from 2011

This year we are offering Valentine Kitty toys again.  If you like the prints we have this year be sure and pick up a set or two as they usually don’t make it to the next one.  More varieties will be available, check back soon.

Welcome to McDonald’s, May I Take Your Order?

This is what you would get if your cat was in the car with you.  This is our newest item, Fast Food Fun – 6 Plush Catnip Chicken Nuggets.  It is hilarious to watch our cat Lacey playing with the chicken nuggets.  They are so light that they go flying everywhere.  They definitely will provide your kitty with lots of exercise.

Stay tuned…there may be fries in our future.

Rawr!!! Tigers Have Arrived

My first order of business after purchasing this tiger print fleece was to make one of our kitties.  I think our first one turned out great.  I named him Bima after one of the twin Sumatran tiger cubs shown in the photo below.  However, this tiger can be safely snuggled and taken with you where ever you go.

 

Bima and Mali (born May 25th 2010) live at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, WA.

For more super cute photos of your favorite zoo animals go to Zoo Borns.  Careful, they are addictive!

Simon’s Cat

He is fabulous!  We just discovered him the other day through another blog.

There is also a book out with another on the way.  I will have to check those out too.

Available now

Coming in June 2011

Would this hat make me a COOL mom?

I think so…

How can a hat based on the character R2D2 from Star Wars not be cool?

Lucky Kitties

I am super excited to announce that we are now selling catnip fortune cookies!  I have been planning on adding them to my shop but with the busy Christmas season I have not had time till now to get them developed and a photo setup done.  Our first offering is for Valentine’s Day.  You even get the to-go container.

 

Lacey loves when we make a new toy.  She gets to do a photo shoot and keep the toys for herself since she slobbers all over them.
