Cat Views

Kittens and Christmas trees are accidents waiting to happen. Being young and full of mischief the shiny balls, blinking lights, and glittering trinkets captures their attention and requires further investigation. How many ornaments get broken by being batted off the tree? How many trees have been toppled over by large sized kittens trying to climb them? What fun though to watch kittens playing among the gaily wrapped packages with their “no longer beautiful bows”. However, there are packages that contain toys and treats to be sniffed out and opened (claws are a plus for this task). The tree is a great place to play, hide, and even take a nap in. A beautiful hand knitted cat bed placed under the tree may entice them to settle down (at least for a while). Hanging toys off their own cat tree could possibly interest them to play there leaving your tree alone. Over all, kitten’s outrageous antics and Christmas are fun any way you look at it

For many pet owners, a cat’s desire to sleep snuggled up in bed with its master is rather touching – at first. Cats are naturally nocturnal, however, so there’s almost no chance they will stay still through the night. Most cats prefer to slink around the house during the late-night and early morning hours. Having your cat pounce on your head or chest in the middle of the night doesn’t bode well for a good night’s sleep.

A custom cat bed provides a welcome alternative. Try filling it with a soft blanket or some other downy material to get your cat acclimated. Cats love to curl up in snug, warm spots, so the more comfortable you make the bed the better. Just remember not to hold it against your cat when you spy him sleeping soundly in his bed when you’re getting ready for work.
