Donate supplies for animal shelters While we have the cat litter covered thanks to the Litter for Good initiative, shelters are often in need of household items like blankets and sheets. Instead of just tossing them in the trash or selling in a yard sale, consider donating them to a local shelter. You can even hold a donation drive or ask for cat supplies for a shelter in lieu of birthday gifts! Just because you can't adopt any more cats, doesn't mean you can't make a difference in their sweet, furry lives. You can do one or all of … [Read more...]

Is your cat trying to eat plants inside your home that aren't safe? Make your own cat grass garden with herbs that cats can eat safely. Oh cats. They bring joy, cuddles, and fluffiness into our lives but they also bring... mischief. I've never met a cat that isn't curious, which I guess is why that saying has stuck when it comes to felines. But with mischievousness also sometimes comes a bit of danger. We have two cats inside, one who likes to go outside as much as possible, and he always goes straight for patches of grass to nibble. While this isn't always dangerous outside, it can be inside because some plants are harmful to cats and his outside … [Read more...]

Make your own DIY cat bed with a simple basket to compliment any home decor style and keep your cat happy! I don't know what it is, but cats absolutely love boxes. Well, most cats do. Frosty, the bigger of our two cats, doesn't seem to like them quite as much as his smaller sister, Bella. Even my previous cat, Roxy, loved any box she could find and she was a BIG cat who loved small boxes as much as big ones. And Bella is the same way - playing a game of Monopoly and leave the lid upside down? She'll be in it. Get a new pair of shoes and leave the box open on the floor? Consider it no longer yours. Bella's love of boxes, and taking cat … [Read more...]

Love your cats, but are you tired of scooping their litter box daily? I have the answer and it's quite amazing - you need a robot litter box! Take a look at how this machine can transform your cat duties! I remember the first time I saw a video of a robot litter box show up in my Facebook Newsfeed. I thought it was something right out of the future and it was immediately placed on my mental Wish List. That's why when I received word that I would be receiving a Litter-Robot at no cost in exchange to review, I was quite excited. I told anyone who would listen - hubby was skeptical, the girls were amazed at my explanation, and my parents were ecstatic as they hoped it would mean they wouldn't be scooping the litter box when we're away. I joked in my instagram stories that being SO excited about our robot litter box being delivered … [Read more...]

Use this printable chart to help teach pet care for kids. I've had a cat for the majority of my life. If I hadn't married my husband, yes, they would have probably referred to me as the Crazy Cat Lady. But I did get married and I still have a cat, two actually, and hopefully I'm raising two crazy cat ladies as daughters! All joking aside, having a cat in the house always makes it feel a bit more like a home to me. There's something special about an unconditional love that pets share with their owners. When we went to adopt a cat almost 2 years ago, we were told that there was an extra kitten that had … [Read more...]

This easy costume comes together in minutes and pays homage to everyone's favorite fall drink! When my parents moved in with us over 2 years ago, we gained a close family member. Smokey had always been close to use, but especially now since we all live under one roof. My parents adopted their adorable Yorkshire Terrier on Halloween night in 2009. So the holiday definitely has special meaning when it comes to this furry friend! Of course, the girls just like any excuse to help him get dressed up in something other than his normal dog t-shirts. But this year, it was my turn to pick out his Halloween costume and my inspiration came from none … [Read more...]

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. The opinions and text are all mine. Do your cats love to play? This DIY cat toy, fabric kick stick is an easy project that your cats will love to kick and throw! Are your indoor cats super active? Our two cats, Frosty and Bella certainly are. Even though they are well out of the kitten stage at almost 2 years old, they still certainly love to play. In fact, I know that if I don't provide them with enough toys, they get a little mischievous and make toys out of my things - like hair ties and socks! That's one reason I decided they were definitely in need of some new cat toys. While I was shopping around I didn't expect to find such a variety of kick sticks for cats, especially with some higher price tags. That's when I decided to get crafty … [Read more...]

Are you looking for a way to hide a litter box? I did a TOTAL MAKEOVER with this DIY and you can too! See how this project went from an old cabinet to a beautiful cat litter box furniture centerpiece! When we decided to adopt a new cat just a few days after Christmas in 2015, I never knew we'd be driving away with TWO! As far as I knew, they were all spoken for and we were heading to adopt only one of them. When we arrived, however, one of the little ones ended up not having a forever home. So we brought both home and now couldn't imagine having just one of them! Frosty and Bella made themselves right at home from that very first day... and still do as you can see. Frosty ALWAYS wants to be in the middle of everything, including DIY home projects and be the first to play with toys we make them like this DIY Cat Kick Stick. It's safe … [Read more...]

All opinions are mine alone. #IAMSCat #CollectiveBias Creating a Cat Gifts Basket is the perfect gift for new pet parents as it helps them ready their home for the new furry arrival! When we decided to bring in a new pet a few months ago, I researched and googled everything I could because I had completely forgot what it was like to have a kitten in the house. Our cat, Roxy, passed away from health complications in November and at the age of 14, she was nothing at all like a kitten. It had been 14 years since I brought a new kitten home so I definitely needed to read up on the subject. Luckily, I was prepared from my research because when we went to pick up the kitten that we had decided on from a friend's surprise litter... we ended up coming home … [Read more...]

This post may contain affiliate links where I earn a small commission from your purchase. See full disclosure for details.
If you're looking to cut toxic cleaners from your home, you've likely come across the idea of cleaning with vinegar. Here are a few different ways I use Four Monks Cleaning Vinegar to clean up after my pets, which helps to keep the area non-toxic and pet friendly! This post about using vinegar when cleaning with pets was inspired by a collaboration with Four Monks Cleaning Vinegar. All opinions and text are my own. I've lived with a pet in my house as long as I can remember. While I was growing up, my family always had a cat indoors, even a dog or two at times, so it's no surprise that we moved into our new home with our 14 year old cat, Roxy, and my parent's 7 year old Yorkie, Smokey. Unfortunately, my husband had never lived with pets until we got married. He wasn't quite excited about sharing a home with a feline, but he quickly … [Read more...]

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MyCatMyMuse #CollectiveBias I've shared pictures and stories about our cat, Roxy, on the blog often. She's been a part of my family for 14 years now! We found her as a stray kitten back then and she's been a part of our home ever since. She went off to college with me, welcomed a second "parent" when I got married, was patient as we brought 2 babies into her previously quiet home, and even successfully merged with another pet family and cohabits with a dog now! With that said, I thought we had already been through a lot with Roxy, but a few weeks ago, I faced one of the biggest challenges with her. Over the past two years, Roxy has been losing weight - a considerable amount of weight as she was a very big cat, but for the most … [Read more...]
