A Bengal Cat's Diary Entry

2/26/2023

0 Comments

 
Dear Diary,

Another day, another opportunity to wreak havoc in my human's lives. Today, I started off the morning by knocking over their potted plant. I mean, who needs oxygen anyway? It's not like they're going to die or anything. I just wanted to let them know who's in charge around here.

After breakfast, I decided to take a little nap on the couch. But, of course, I couldn't just sleep peacefully like a normal cat. No, I had to start kicking my legs and meowing loudly, just to make sure my humans knew I was there. They always appreciate my wake-up calls.

In the afternoon, I got bored and decided to start climbing the curtains. My humans get so upset when I do that, but it's just too much fun. I mean, who doesn't like to feel like they're on top of the world? Plus, it's a great way to sharpen my claws.

Later on, I found a piece of string lying around, and I just couldn't resist. I started batting it around, jumping up and down, and generally acting like a crazy cat. My humans just looked at me like I was insane, but hey, at least I'm having fun.

As the day came to a close, I decided to settle down and get some snuggles from my humans. They always fall for my cute face and soft fur. I mean, who wouldn't want to cuddle with a Bengal cat like me?
All in all, it's been a pretty typical day for me. Just doing my part to keep my humans on their toes and remind them who's really in charge around here. Life is good when you're a mischievous Bengal cat.
​
Until next time,
Your favourite troublemaker

Feline the Love: Celebrate Valentine's Day with Your Cat

2/14/2023

0 Comments

 
Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate all the love in our lives, and that includes our feline friends! Cats may not be able to buy us chocolates or flowers, but they show their love every day in their own unique way. From soft purrs to playful pounces, our kitties have a special way of stealing our hearts. And what better way to show our cats some love on Valentine's Day than by spending some quality time together? In this post, I'll share some fun activities you can do with your cat to show them just how much they mean to you. So grab your favorite feline friend and let's get started!
Picture
​Play games with your cat: Just like humans, cats love to have fun and play. Playing games with your cat is a great way to bond with them and create lasting memories. Whether you're using a wand toy to encourage your cat to chase and pounce, or playing a game of hide-and-seek with some tasty treats, your cat is sure to appreciate the time and attention you're giving them. Take some time today to play games with your cat and let the fun times roll!

​Create an obstacle course for your cat: Cats are natural explorers and love to climb and discover new things. By creating an obstacle course for your cat, you're giving them a fun challenge that will keep them entertained for hours. Use boxes, tunnels, and other household items to create an obstacle course, and place some treats or toys along the way to keep your cat motivated.
Build a cozy fort or hideout for your cat: Cats love having their own cozy space to relax and snooze in, and what better way to show your cat some love than by building them a cozy fort or hideout? Use soft blankets and pillows to create a cozy spot for your cat to curl up in, and add some of their favorite toys or treats to make it extra inviting.
Picture
​Have a movie night with your cat: Cats are natural born observers and love to watch what's going on around them. Spend some quality time with your cat this Valentine's Day by having a movie night together. Choose a movie with cats or other animals as the main characters, and snuggle up with your cat while you enjoy the show. Don't forget to have some cat-friendly snacks on hand to make it a truly special occasion.

Create a DIY cat toy or craft together: Making something from scratch is a great way to bond with your cat and create something special that they'll love. There are plenty of DIY cat toy and craft ideas available online, so find one that you and your cat will enjoy making together. Whether it's a scratching post made from cardboard or a catnip toy made from fabric, your cat will love having a new toy to play with, and you'll both have fun creating it together.
​Valentine's Day is all about showing love and appreciation for those who are important to us, and our furry feline friends are no exception! While cats may seem aloof at times, they truly appreciate the time and attention we give them. Whether you're snuggling up in a cozy fort, watching a movie together, or playing games, spending quality time with your cat is a great way to show them how much you care. By taking the time to show your cat some love and attention this Valentine's Day, you're strengthening the bond you share and creating happy memories that will last a lifetime. So, pick one (or more!) of these fun activities and spend some quality time with your furry friend this Valentine's Day. Your cat will thank you for it!

Strolling in Style: The Benefits of Using a Pet Stroller for Your Cat

2/11/2023

0 Comments

 
Are you a cat owner who wants to take your feline friend on outdoor adventures, but feel like it's too difficult to control them on a leash or worry about their safety? Or maybe you have difficulty walking and could use a bit of help, or your cat simply won't take to a harness. If any of these situations sound familiar, a pet stroller may be a great solution for you.

Pet strollers are specially designed to allow pet owners to take their cats (or dogs) on walks or outdoor adventures while keeping them safe, secure, and comfortable. Pet strollers can also be helpful for older individuals who may not have the same level of mobility as they used to, as well as for people with disabilities.
A few reasons why you may want to consider investing in a pet stroller:
  • Elderly: For older individuals with limited strength or mobility, a pet stroller can make it easier to take their cat for a walk. A pet stroller can provide additional support and stability, making it easier to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.  A stroller can allow you to take your cat for a walk without having to worry about tripping or losing your balance.
  • Cats who won't take to a harness: Some cats simply won't tolerate wearing a harness, which can make it difficult to take them outside. A pet stroller can provide a safe and secure way for your cat to get some fresh air and exercise.

Now that you know some of the benefits of a pet stroller, let's look at some of the top brands to consider:
PictureThe HIZLJJ Pet Stroller - for more information or to learn how to purchase one, click on the photo.
HIZLJJ Pet Stroller: This brand has many high end and beautiful designs with different budgets in mind. The stroller is designed for small to medium-sized cats and dogs and features a three-wheeled design for maximum maneuverability. It's made with high-quality materials, including an Oxford cloth canopy and a steel frame. The stroller also includes a large storage basket, a cup holder, and a removable washable pad for easy cleaning. This particular model comes in different colours and also doubles as a convenient carrier for the car or travel.
​

PictureThe Pet Gear No-Zip NV Pet Stroller - for more information or to purchase one, click on the photo.
Pet Gear No-Zip NV Pet Stroller: This stroller has a no-zip feature that makes it easy to open and close the stroller without fumbling with a zipper. The stroller is designed for cats up to 50 pounds and features a sturdy aluminum frame, a waterproof interior, and a panoramic view window. It also includes a parent tray for holding items like keys and phones. Some benefits of this model are that it's lightweight and comes in three different colours.​

PictureThe HANRAYFX Pet Stroller - for more information or to purchase one, click on the photo.
HANRAYFX Pet Stroller: This stroller is designed for small to medium-sized cats and dogs and features a durable, waterproof Oxford cloth cover. The stroller has a weight capacity of up to 33 pounds and includes a large storage basket, a cup holder, and a removable, washable pad for easy cleaning. While not as "off-road" friendly as the three wheel options discussed above, this stroller also has two rear wheels and one front wheel for easy maneuverability on the streets.  This one might be my favourite because of the "bengal spots"!  How cute is it??​

PictureThe Wangmao Pet Stroller - for more information or to purchase one, click on the photo.
Wangmao Pet Stroller: This stroller is designed for small cats and dogs and features a sturdy aluminum frame and a durable, waterproof Oxford cloth cover. The stroller includes a large storage basket, a cup holder, and a removable, washable pad for easy cleaning. It also has a one-handed fold system for easy storage and transport.
​

PictureThe PETIQUE Double Decker Pet Stroller - for more information or to purchase one, click on the photo.
PETIQUE Double Decker Pet Stroller: This stroller is designed for pet owners with two cats or small dogs. It features a unique double-cargo design that allows you to carry two pets separately. The stroller includes a large storage basket, a cup holder, and a removable, washable pad for easy cleaning. It also has a sturdy steel frame and a waterproof interior.
​

If you're a cat owner who wants to take your feline friend on outdoor adventures but have concerns about their safety, a pet stroller may be a great investment for you. There are so many models and in so many price ranges - it's important to consider your needs, your cat's needs, and the features of each stroller before making a purchase.
​
I hope that the list of top brands I've recommended above will help you find the perfect pet stroller for you and your adventure "wanna-be" cat. Whether you're an elderly pet owner or someone who wants to give your cat some fresh air without worrying about their safety, a pet stroller can make all the difference. Happy strolling!

Two's Company: The Best Backpacks for Hiking with One or... Two Cats!

2/7/2023

0 Comments

 
If you love the great outdoors and have an cat who enjoys exploring new places, then hiking with your cat could be the perfect adventure for you both. Hiking with your cat can be a fun and bonding experience, but it's important to ensure your cat's comfort and, especially, safety. That's where a cat backpack comes in.
Cat backpacks are specially designed to safely carry your pet while you're out walking or hiking. They provide a secure and comfortable environment for your cat, allowing them to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature while staying safe. Before heading out on your hike, it's important to make sure that your cat is comfortable with being in a backpack and with the outdoors. Start with short hikes and gradually increase the length of your walks as your cat becomes more comfortable.

There are SO many amazing designs and colours these days when it comes to pet backpacks - it can be a daunting decision to make when shopping!

When choosing a cat backpack, look for one that's spacious and well-ventilated. It should also have secure closing zippers to keep your pet from slipping out, and a strong loop or hook inside to attach leashes and harnesses to as well for extra security. Make sure there are NO "unzippable" openings (as are often found in some brands of dog carriers to allow your pet's head to pop through the carrier). This is NOT safe for a cat, so avoid these types of carriers!

​Brands like 
PetAmi, Halinfer, and K&H Pet Products offer a variety of cat backpacks to suit different outdoor needs and preferences.

Now, for those who have two cats and don't want to leave one behind, there's also great news! Some cat backpack brands offer double-compartment hiking backpacks, allowing you to bring both of your cats on your adventures. Brands such as Voistino, and Halinfer offer double compartments, making it easy and convenient to bring both of your cats with you on your hikes!

In conclusion, hiking with your cat can be a fun and exciting experience. With a secure and comfortable cat backpack, you can enjoy the great outdoors with your furry friend by your side. Whether you have one cat or two, there are plenty of options available to suit your needs. Happy hiking!
