The big kitty related project we’ve been working on? A rental-friendly cat run.  Every time we see a post about how someone has put shelving on their walls to create some simple and functional cat furniture we get jealous.  Being in a cat friendly rental is one thing, but being allowed to put holes in [...]

I was at the Cat Protection Society on the weekend, and noticed they have a new range of KraMar toys. The egg shaped ‘Bounce n Pounce’ toy caught my eye, and I figured it might pass for a belated Easter present (considering it’s shape). I also know that Train will go mental for anything with [...]

RSPCA Millionpurrs

20 April 2009

Today I read that the RSPCA in Townsville have been inundated with animals since the Easter break, which is a little sad. Pets don’t make good presents, people :( On a more positive note, the RSPCA has announced their latest event – it’s just for cats, and you don’t even have to get your paws [...]

This week’s handmade love is for Glam Rock Emporium‘s lucky black cat ring. While this ring may not suit everyone (including me, unfortunately), I love it.  My fingers are way to small to get away with a chunky ring like this, but know a couple of friends who it would suit perfectly. This ring is [...]

Only a couple of weeks after proclaiming my love for Etsy, I find that there is an Australian version called Made It. Happy times. While the site seems to have just had a relaunch, there is plenty of hand made Australian goods for sale. So, my weekend posts will alternate between ‘Esty love’ and ‘Made [...]

Cats at the Sydney Royal Easter Show

10 April 2009

If you live in Sydney, it’s hard to avoid the fact that the Easter Show started yesterday. While you may think that the Easter Show is all about sugar, dated carnival rides and farm animals, there is also a little part of the show called the Cat Pavilion. There are a number of different kitty [...]
