From Critter Cruisers To Tassel Tamers
Cut Furry Friends In On The Fun
The holidays are already upon us – how did they sneak up so fast?! As you’re planning your holiday gift list, don’t forget the furry creatures in your home. They like presents too … and sometimes they are easier to shop for than your mother-in-law.
Cats
Tabby Tassel Tamer – hours of play without any danger from your happy feline’s claws with this tasseled toy from www.lovethybeast.com.
Airplane Cat House – a marriage of box love and World War II style for your fierce feline from www.uncommongoods.com
Star Wars – yes, I know it’s giving in to the marketing juggernaut, but I love Star Wars – and what kitties wouldn’t like to chase around Chewbacca and Yoda mice for fun. Found at www.amazon.com.
SuperCat Catnip Caves – boxes and bags are favorite play items for kitties. What could be better than a bag with microencapsulated catnip bubbles that break open with rubbing, crumpling or scratching as your kitty pounces and plays. Found at www.amazon.com in sets of four caves.
Dogs
Dog-Treat Launcher – exercise and reward your dog with this great gadget from The Container Store.
Chewbacca Dog Chew – like I said, Star Wars nerd here – what dog won’t like this fuzzy toy to chew on. Found on www.amazon.com with a lot of other Star Wars pet gear.
Personalized Bucket of Toys – www.harrybarker.com is heaven for choosing a personalized tote of gifts.
Foobler®, self-reloading puzzle feeder – this one makes both your pet and your vet happy. As an automatic feeding smart toy, it keeps your dog entertained and active while allowing you to manage calories at the same time with six separate food pods and multiple timer intervals to keep your dog busy for up to nine hours. Find at http://shop.l-chic-pet.com/foobler/
For the Other Pets
Super Pet® Critter Cruiser, from Petsmart, lets your hamster or gerbil be in the driver’s seat for a cruise around the house. Can you see your littlest furball zooming around? Can also be connected to a whole hamster habitat. Found at www.Petsmart.com.
For Pet Lovers
Bad Dog Wisdom from www.uncommongoods.com – whether beer glasses or coffee mugs, you can’t go wrong for a dog-loving friend.
