Cat Gifts
Cat lovers comprise one of the largest, most unified communities in the world. Total strangers can meet, and when the subject of cats is introduced, an instant bond is welded when they find that both share their lives and their hearts with furry companions.
By the same token, it isn't too difficult to choose a special gift for a cat lover. Anything involving cats will be received with joy.
This week I've mined the Internet and found the coolest, most unique gifts for cats and the people who love them. Travel with me while we shop the Web.
The Cozy Cat Hammock is veterinarian approved, with an ergonomic design to support kitty above the floor. It comes in several patterns, and is reasonably priced at $22. A window model is also provided, so your cat can safely enjoy the outdoors in the comfort of home.
CatCollectibles.com has a pretty good assortment of garments, jewelry, and decorative items for cat lovers, and features a secure server for your safety and convenience.
Kit'N'Caboodle has long been one of my favorite sites, not only for their great selection of gifts, but because they are obviously great cat lovers, and demonstrate it with nice additions, like their Feline Facts and Fun page.
Kitty Lure Pet Exerciser is an irresistable toy that will keep your cat occupied for hours--well, maybe not all at the same time, but with its spring and bounce and the lure skirt, Kitty Lure will be a real attention-getter time after time. It's priced very reasonably at $9.95, and has an optional "no-hands" stand so your cat can play all by himself if you're busy elsewhere. A 90 day no-questions return policy and a year's replacement guarantee against defects are not to be hissed at either.
Send a Feline Hi greeting card to your favorite feline and share her wonder and delight as she opens the card herself. She won't be able to resist--the card includes a catnip packet inside. $3 for one card or a set of six for $16.50. These cards, along with cat beds, clouds, and a goodly assortment of catnip toys, are brought to you by Mountain Lion in West Virginia.
Cat Faeries of San Francisco is hosted by Betty, the Cyber Cat. They feature a selection of unusual and unique cat-related gifts, including Tarot cards, Bast Champagne Flutes and handmade Sterling Silver jewelry.
Lauren Bain has written two books of poetry about Glamorgan, "Glamorgan's Tales: A Cat's Garden of Verse" and "Glamorgan, He Who Would Be Cat". The books are available at Glamorgan's Home as well as at Amazon.com.
Top Cats has an even dozen sets of cat-related greeting cards, including "Holding Out for Tuna" by Erika Oller.
It's time to wish a very happy Holiday Season to all our faithful visitors. The fact that you keep coming back is what keeps me here to greet you. I'll see you again in two weeks to welcome 1999 together.
