Great Cat Products!

Hello again readers! Its been a great Fall up here in Wisconsin this year, I hope you're enjoying it. I noticed I tend to focus on dog products a lot in these articles as they are a popular pet, or maybe because I'm a dog owner myself. However, considering there are an estimated 95 million cats in America, I realize that a "only cat" article is long overdue. I found so many great products, I wish I could list them all. Sadly, I cannot, but here are some of my favorites:

CatHole: Just finding out about this product, I already have a few friends in mind that could use it immensely. The CatHole is essentially like a doggy door, but intended for cats. This makes it incredibly useful in a variety of ways. For example, CatHole allows you to keep the door to the litter box closed, keeping kids or dogs out, but let the cat in. The litter box can be conveniently hidden away, no longer a eyesore or smell in a main room. It's also useful for allowing the cat access to rooms you want other dogs, children, or pets out of, such as basements or garages. Many people who own a dog and a cat find it is great for keeping the cats food away from the dog, or even just to be able to create a room where the cat can hide away undisturbed. Its uses are potentially infinite, I would imagine almost every cat owner would have a use for one. It even has brushes in the inside to groom your cat as he passes through. Sized to fit almost any cat (a larger version is available) and includes a free personalized metal name tag. Made in the U.S.A. by a small company in Michigan. $34.95

SmartCat® Corner litter box: This is a simple product...the name is self explanatory. SmartCat® Corner litter box is a triangular shaped litter box, which unlike other boxes, fits neatly in the corner of a room. It makes use of otherwise unusable space, and it's high sided durable construction makes it a great litter box all around. Available in grey or pink. $15.99

CatCrib®: This is a modern take on a regular cat bed. CatCrib® is a safe, comfortable hammock for your cat. That may sound complicated, but surprisingly the frame for the hammock is probably right underneath you...your chair! CatCrib® attaches to the legs of any chair 18" - 27 inches (most all chairs) via its 4 patent pended straps built right into the hammock. Its neat, modern, clutter-free, safe, and of course comfortable. Very high quality fabrics and straps ensure it will not slip, tear, or break. Makes a great gift! Available in grey, beige, or blue. $29.99

Top Paw® PooGoStick: Even though I don't own a cat, I take care of them frequently helping neighbors and friends. Always dreading cleaning the litter box (a bothersome chore in many ways) I realize the advantage of this product over a conventional scoop. PooGoStick is a scoop for litter with a spring activated trigger on the handle. Squeezing the trigger moves a rake on the scoop, which pushes the waste into a attached bag while simultaneously sifting out clean litter. Its height means its operated vertically - no bending, stooping, or holding your breath over a smelly litter box. Attaching any bag of your choice to the scoop also means no touching or spilling waste trying to hold open a bag  - in other words no mess. PooGoStick works on any surface, making it just as good for cleaning up dog waste. Made out of easy to clean materials that will not clog even after repeated use. One of the best products I've seen in a while for cleaning litter, I'm certain you'll love it. $35.99

I hope you enjoyed this months products! Thanks for reading as always and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
