My Personalized Pet

Show how much you care for your cat by taking extra care of her health. Cat health care is very important, especially when you have a cat that is getting on in years. Although all animals have innate, self-curing mechanisms even without human intervention, this self-healing ability will start to diminish once they reach a certain age.

This is where pet owners should come to the rescue. There are formulations and food supplements that contain vitamins and minerals especially designed for pets. Pawier is one such liquid pet vitamin that has been proven to turn around the conditions of sickly animals. But it is also a great for maintaining the health of animals who are already in good physical shape. Even making small changes, such as investing in a cat snuggle bed, can make a huge difference.

Catnip, a perennial herb of the mint family that is native to Europe, causes strange reactions in cats. Not all cats are fans, but those that are will rub it, roll over it, kick at it, eat it and be wound up for a few minutes. The cat might walk away at that point, and come back two hours later and have exactly the same reaction.

A chemical found in the herb, nepetalactone is what causes the reaction, though it isn’t understood exactly how. For cats that are sensitive to the chemical, it begins a stereotypical reaction that lasts a few minutes until the cat becomes acclimated to it. It takes an hour or two for the sensitivity to catnip and a catnip bed to return, and the cat goes crazy all over again. Not all cats are affected, though - it is an inherited sensitivity. Even large cats like tigers can be sensitive to it. It also tends to only appeal to middle-aged. Kittens and older cats generally aren’t interested in the chemical.

Some cats are fiercely independent, but still like to snuggle with you from time to time. If you’re not around when they get that urge, what’s a cat to do? Pick up a cat snuggle bed that they can turn to for that warm, cozy feeling when they need it most. Some snuggle beds are lined in fleece for ultimate comfort, even during the coldest months of the year, so your cat will always have a snuggly place to go in your home.

A snuggle bed is like a pocket, enveloping your cat on all sides except for the entrance. This replicates the warm, enclosed feeling your cat had when she was just a kitten, sleeping with all her littermates. That sense of security is invaluable, especially for cats who get jumpy during thunderstorms or fireworks on the 4th of July. A snuggle bed may help contain any hair your cat sheds while sleeping, too!

The average housecat spends more than 18 hours a day sleeping, thus, it’s important for owners to provide their cat with a comfortable cat bed for rest and relaxation. Cat beds are for more than just aesthetic purposes, as a cat that sleeps in their bed will also not be shedding fur on the furniture. In addition, most cat beds are convenient for cleaning and cats also love to spend time there. There are several variations of cat beds. The raised cat bed, for example, is on a higher level for cats that like to have a view of all that is happening in the periphery. Raised cat beds are also great for owners who have cats and dogs, as the cats can use their elevated position to get away from pesky canines. There is also the catnip bed, which will fast become a favorite resting place for even the most rambunctious of cats. The cat snuggle bed is another great option for felines who have the tendency to want to get under bed covers.

The cat chooses the bed, not the owner, so make sure to purchase a cat bed only if it has a return policy! It’s common for cats to not like a bed because of its smell, and thus, pre-owned beds are a no-no as well.

Does your cat always outrun you to the sofa?  Why not create a place that will entice him to stay away? A cat bed in a warm, sunlit corner of the porch will keep him there the whole day.  Let us make sure that the cat’s bed is always clean. A cat bed cover will ensure that our furry friend is not only warm and cozy but clean.

Cat bed covers are usually made with side zippers for easy removal when washing.  It comes in different attractive colors.  Get several and surprise your pet cat with a nice color and design every time.  Now, there might be a little problem.  You might miss your cat cuddling with you on the sofa. 

Anyone who has a cat knows how much they love to knead. Kneading is a natural behavior for cats and starts when they are tiny kittens. Kittens knead in order to help their mothers produce milk for them to suckle. This behavior continues when kittens become adults.

It’s adorable when kitties knead, but it can be painful if it’s you they choose to knead on. Cats prefer soft areas for kneading (similar to their mother’s teats) so they will likely target a soft blanket or towel. Giving your feline friend a fleece cat bed will allow him to knead to his heart’s content and his purr will let you know he’s happy.

If you’ve purchased any variety of catnip toys or catnip accessories for your cat, you know that they don’t have the same appeal for your feline after a few months. The incessant chewing and slobbering that it first incited has a way of stemming or stopping completely.

One particularly tricky item is the catnip bed. After your cat sleeps in it every night, it can lose its potency and, subsequently, its appeal.

So are you doomed to buy a new catnip bed every time your cat turns up its nose? Luckily, there are several easy and quick solutions.

-Try simply rubbing the catnip inside the bed together. As the herb rubs, it becomes reinvigorated and once again fully releases its scent.

-If that doesn’t work, add a small amount of fresh catnip to the bed. Again, rub the contents to “activate” the herb.

-If you still can’t muster any excitement out of your kitty, spray the entire bed with a liquid catnip oil spray. Kooky Kat Catnip Budz in a Bottle is one possible brand.
