Walky kitty

Today Mr. J and I went along to the Pet Fair at the University of Sydney. It was an event filled with children and dogs on leashes, but we enjoyed ourselves – even if I was too old to go on the giant tiger jumping castle! Below are some photos from the day (this is [...]

Review: Spotnips Springs.

27 August 2009

When walking through a pet store recently I spotted a packet of Spotnips springs. They looked interesting and on close inspection didn’t seem to be a hazard, so I got a pack for Train. I wasn’t sure what she’d think of them, so I put one on the floor to begin with and pushed it [...]

If I had something to do with them (other than randomly stamp piece of paper, our desk or Mr. J’s arm!) then [...]

When Train turned her nose up at the PolaPurrs, I offered them to four readers and their kitties to see if they’d be appreciated in another household. Here are the first two reader reviews. Amy, owner of Sparky: “I was a little surprised at how big and how hard they were. I guess I’m used [...]

As far as making cat toys go, I can’t think of a way that this cat toy could be more simple. Surprisingly it’s one of the most effective toys I’ve ever given Train. It’s a ping pong ball that’s stuffed with catnip. Best of all, it doesn’t cost much and can be easily made at [...]

You’d think that moving to part time work would mean that I have more time to get my posts ready for savvycat! I’m still trying to settle into some sort of routine. Having a couple of hours extra every morning has been great, but I seem to be filling it with either a) sleep or [...]
