If your cat’s like mine then he probably is always searching for a dark, safe place to hide. Monkey Joe really likes to sleep in his cat carrier. I think this is because his smell is in there, and it comforts him. Sometimes when I can’t find him I have to remind myself to check in his cat carrier. More often than not he is in there sound asleep.

Here are some important qualities in a cat carrier:

1. Ventilation
2. Sturdiness
3. Securely closing entry
4. Comfortable handle

Just like humans cats like to feel the cool breeze on their faces, smell the freshly-cut grass, and feel the soft soil underneath their paws. If you’re holding your cat back from enjoying the great outdoors by keeping him inside then you’re like most owners. There is a way, however, to let your kitty play outside without getting hurt or lost.

Just install a cat fence. These sturdy fences are designed just for cats. They allow your cat to spend time playing outside while remaining safely in his own yard. Owners will feel secure about letting their cats outdoors once they try a specially-made cat fence.

Keeping an indoor/outdoor cat is not as difficult as you might think.  Cats will associate the indoors with their home when growing up there as a kitten, and tend to stay relatively near should they venture outside.  To prevent an indoor cat from drifting too far from home, you will want to offer them food and protection.  You should have a call of some kind that lets your cat know it’s time to return home, this could be the sound of your voice, or a can opener, or a rattling sound like kibble in a dish.  Installing a cat door is also wise in case your cat gets into trouble outside with a dog or another cat. 

Before you let your cat roam around outdoors, you might want to take them out on a leash a few times, or at least show them the yard so they become familiar with it.

Though your cat may hate to wear a collar, it is important for them to have one.  Cat collars are necessary for all cats should they get lost.  Even if your cat never goes outdoors, should he or she decide to sneak out one day, you’ll be thankful they’re wearing a collar if someone finds them before you do.  Despite how some cats will fight to get out of wearing a collar, if they start wearing it when they are young, chances are they won’t mind as much when they’re older. 

Cat collars come in hundreds of different styles, though rhinestones tend to be the most popular.

Since Michael and Shannon became a part of our family we needed to add another cat litter box.  When searching for a new litter box cover we found a newly created product called the Chateau Looey. It comes in six unique designs with vibrant four-color print that gives a three dimensional look to each house which makes any room in our home look magnificent by hiding the unsightly litter box needed for our feline friends.  The new Château Looey covers any litter pan up to 16″ x 20″ creating complete privacy and does not retain any foul odors.  We liked this new litter cover so much; it was added to our site to share with our customers.  Once you see how inexpensive and the striking colorful this newly designed litter box cover you will want one for your home.

Many pet owners wish they could contain their pets without having to construct and maintain a physical fence, a desire now possible with the invention of the invisible fence.  The invisible fence works by giving your pet a tiny shock when they step outside a boundary set by underground wires, and tripped by a collar attached to the pet.  The question is, does this invention make physical fences obsolete? 

The answer depends on the area in which you live.  Predators like coyotes, wolves, and even other dogs and cats will be able to get inside your yard with no effort.  Small pets will have little defense against such predators, and are vulnerable to an attack.  If your area is free from predators, not having a physical fence can work out in your favor.

Whether for a dog, cat, or any kind of furry friend, a pet stroller is great both for transporting your pets and for spending time with them outside the house.  Most people don’t think of using pet strollers, but they have more practical applications than visible from the surface.  How often have you struggled to get your cat or dog into a pet carrier to go to the veterinarian?  With a pet stroller, especially if you use it regularly, you can keep your pet contained and also not cause them to panic.  While dogs don’t mind being leashed, cats tend to despise leashes unless they are trained at a very young age,  With a cat stroller you can take your cat with you on a walk, pushing it on foot or pulling it behind a bicycle.  You can also prevent paw problems with your dog due to sharp objects or hot concrete surfaces. 

Pet strollers have uses for extended travel in addition to daily activities, as your pet will be comfortable and able to move in a pet stroller, and not feel panicked or confined due to being in a carrier case.

Meet Shannon and Michael.  Our new feline friends just joined Cat Palace USA as the newest babies.  They are brother and sister and where found on a farm just minutes from the office.  They were two of about twenty feral cats located in the barns of the farm. 

Upon arriving at home they just play constantly with our other cat’s toys and are just fun to look at jumping up and down, chasing around and caressing each other.  Cat Palace USA just added a complete line of interactive cat toys. Of which we gave several to Mike and Shannon.  They just love to play all day and night when they are not sleeping. We now have 8 feral cats adopted of the years.  Michael, Shannon, Teattle, Samantha, Mrs. Kitty, Jazz, Sophie and Seven.     

A feral cat which is typically a stray cat also know as an alley cat, becomes wild from being on it’s own.  It can also refer to a cat where the descendants were never domesticated.  It is very difficult to tame a feral cat but there is hope with the kittens.  It is best to tame a feral kitten between six to eight weeks old.  Usually it will take only a couple of days to tame a feral kitten.

Usually feral cats are found in groups referred to as feral colonies.  A feral cat typically only lives up to 2 years due to the harsh lifestyle.  If you find that you have a feral cat living outside your home that you are feeding but it will not come near you, you should consider getting an outside cat house like the KatKabin which are insulated to protect the cat from the elements.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t keep my cats off the computer keyboard, particularly if I’m attempting to type.  The Kitt-In Box provides a place for a cat nest within belly rubbing distance, and can be affixed to the side or top of a desk with protective feet on the bottom.  Cats like the soft foam cushion (with machine washable cushion cover) and high walls, which remind them of the empty cardboard boxes they can never resist. 

Kitt-In Box supports 20 pounds, so it can accommodate a king- or queen-sized cat as well as some smaller dogs.  It offers solid pine construction that adjusts to several positions and is offered in birch, cherry, or mahogany stains to fit any home or office decor.  This may be the most useful cat furniture ever invented—at least for people!
