How beautiful is this scratcher? Modko has brought these scratchers to the US from myKitty, an innovative Polish designer. These scratchers are handmade, eco-friendly and perfect for kitty to climb and scratch all over.
Modko's awesome and user-friendly designs are also now being distributed in Canada and Europe (so they are easier to get than ever - win!).
You may wonder what your cat gets up to all day - I know I come home to a pile of torn up tissues, and my cat claims to not know what happened. In 2011, engineer Jürgen Perthold equipped his kitty, Mr Lee, with a tiny camera to capture the day's events. Perthold was so successful, he was able to edit a 16 minute short film that appeared at the 2012 SXSW, with additional footage shot by Seth Keal. Now Perthold is selling CatCams online, finally solving the mystery of what the heck they do all day (although I might just train my webcam on the tissue box).
Hairball Awareness Day is April 24, and Furminator is drawing awareness to the situation by asking cat owners to imitate their cats' hairball antics, resulting in the video you see above. Read more about how to combat hairballs here (grooming and a quality diet help a lot!).
Unlike your average stuffed mouse, these catnip toys know that your kitty is a lean, mean hunting machine (look at their worried expressions!). Handmade by Etsy seller RustCraft, each veggie is 100% unique and stuffed with catnip for maximum kitty enjoyment.
