Holiday Buying Guide

What do you buy for that cat who has everything? We have a few ideas!

Da Bird

Some just dangle, even when humans wave them back and forth, but the way that Da Bird flutters through the air is truly irresistible. Just ask Newton, who knows exactly where it’s stored and gets excited every time the closet is open.

Popcorn Kicker Toy

Polydactyl Circus Peanuts Kicker Cat ToyThere’s something that makes humans smile when they see a cat toy that looks like something else they are familiar with, and the roasted popcorn peanuts kicker toy one never fails to get a laugh, since it arrives like roasted peanuts in a paper bag. But what makes cats smile is the premium catnip inside. Pierre purrrsonally recommends this toy as one of his favorites.

meowbox

Wouldn’t it be cool to give a gift that keeps on giving? How about new toys and treats every month? The meowbox is a monthly cat subscription box for your cat, full of fun toys and tasty goodies, delivered to your door. Every box is personalized with your cat’s name(s), and every box purchased means a can of food purchased for a shelter cat. We reviewed the meowbox and gave it enthusiastic paws up. You can buy meowbox at a 10% discount with our exclusive discount code: CATSHERDYOU10 on the meowbox web site.

Sleepypod

It’s super-comfy, plush-lined cat bed. That’s all you have to tell your kitty. They don’t want to think about the other thing that happens to that comfy cat bed when it converts into a carrier and takes them to places they might not want to go. The Sleepypod is a comfortable bed to hang out in at home, and when you must travel, it’s a crash-tested carrier. We find it more calming and more comfortable to travel in our familiar, mobile pet bed than a traditional carrier, and it’s a favorite napping spot, too!

    Those are some great suggestions. We all love DaBird. And we know where ours is stored too. That is sure a terrific picture of you Newton. Good for Mom to catch that.

    We really want a Sleepypod, but we don’t think it will be happening this Christmas. Excellent suggestions. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    All great ideas. The only one we already have is Da Bird and we love it. The boys get pretty pushy when it comes out so I end up just watching most times. ๐Ÿ˜ผ

    We love our kicker toys and can bunny kick them with the best of them! Da Bird is the coolest bird toy around, we agree. Clove wants a Sleepypod round bed, she likes her rectangle one but would love a round one for Catmas. Kaspars says no way, it’s a trap!
