Fun Friday! A Give-Away From BumperPet!

I was recently contacted by BumperPet asking if I would be interested in receiving a few of their newest creations to share with my readers.  I had featured BumperPet back in 2011 so I was happy to do so!

If you aren't familiar with BumperPet they have everything from T-shirts, to magnets, to dry erase decals, prints and charity specific products!

They have pre-designed products
 or you can unleash your creativity by creating your own!

BumperPet also gives back,  they are committed to helping rescue pets in need. They donate 10-25% of all of their sales to animal rescues. You can read about that here

Here are the items that I received:

  DRY ERASE CAT DECAL:

Measures 10.5" x 16"

It is peel and stick dry erase material

Removable and can be removed and placed somewhere else

Comes with a black marker

I chose to turn mine

into a cheer leading cat

for the Detroit Tigers!

I put it on the wall

next to Cody's cat tower in my office

He sleeps on...

oblivious to his new "friend"

I also received a
 DRY ERASE BONE DECAL

so that Dakota could "represent" as well!

There it is under the bulletin board
 on the  wall in my office
I wasn't feeling particularly creative
so I just put Dakota's name on it
I am sure I will be using it for 
handy reminders down the road!

The bone measures 17" x 7 "

Next  we have:

 Cat Magnet
Have to tell you,
the magnets I received
are my favorites!
I couldn't find either the cat magnet
or the bone magnet on their site
but their magnet selection is so cute!
Check them out here

"Toy" Tuesday!

Hi everybody!  It's Cody again wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday! I am one lucky kitty! Mom entered a contest for me over at Katie Mitchell's "The Pet Lady's Blog" and I WON! If you haven't visited Katie's blog, by all means do! She always has something exciting going on!

The contest that I won was a give-away by Creme de la Cat.   Creme de la Cat has a vast selection of reasonably priced cat toys,  cat beds and gifts for cat lovers!

I won a $25 gift certificate to purchase anything that I wanted in the store!

The item I chose was the Leopard Den Puzzle:

Isnt' that just the coolest puzzle ever? When I chose it I immediately thought of Zee & Zoey and their Mom, Deb Barnes who ALWAYS wears leopard print! She definitely needs to pawchase this for her kitties!

This is the most fun toy ever! It is super soft and cozy and comes with those cute balls above. Mom puts catnip in the holes and drops the balls in and I go to town! I swat those balls and use my paws like scoopers! I scoop those balls up, run down the hallway and tease my Sheltie brother, then I drop one ball by my food bowl as a thank-you to my pawrents for the stinky-goodness they provide for me.

Ordering was a breeze for my Mom (I can't type so I don't know). The customer service provided by Terry Walker-Coleman (who owns Creme De La Cat) was superb and boy did my toys arrive FAST!
I barely had time for a cat nap and they were here! Now THAT'S SERVICE!

 Here are some photos:

Here is a listing of everything else that Mom bought with the $25 prize:

1 HYPNO MOUSE BY ZANIES

1 CAT CATCHER WAND TOY BY GO CAT

Here is Cody having a ball with his Cat Catcher!

We also bought a  few other little toys and Terry was super nice and gave us a special surprise!
  1 BONUS GIFT-PENNY CANDY CATNIP TOY BY PET CANDY AND CRYSTAL BALL WITH BELL.

Mom and I would like to once again thank Katie Mitchell from The Pet Lady's Blog for hosting this give-away and to Creme De La Cat for their adorable and affordable toys and superior customer service!

Mom said we will definitely be ordering from them in the future!  Check out their website for special items for Valentine's Day!


Mom and I were not compensated for this post. We won the above listed items and wanted to thank the appropriate people. All opinions are our own.

Your Cat Will Have A Ball With The Cat Ball!! GIVE-AWAY!

Hi every kitty it's Cody!

Are you tired of your regular napping spots? Feeling the winter chill from a snowy, gray day? Need a place to hide from  a mini human or your doggy sibling?

I might  have the answer to your problem! Forget "might",  I DO have the answer to your problem!

The answer is:

The Cat Ball!

What is a Cat Ball?

The Cat Ball is a  comfy kitty hide-away/napping spot. The Cat Ball is machine washable (or it can be vacuumed by the noisy vacuum monster while we are busy doing other things!)  and the fabric patterns  are the original creation of Jennifer Schmidt of Jenna's Red Rhino.

Jennifer KNOWS cats. She KNOWS what cats like.  Jennifer knows that cats love to curl up in a ball to sleep, they "get" comfort and will seek out the most desirable sleeping spots in the house and they love dark enclosures that make them feel safe and secure.

Jennifer also knows that in order for the head humans to purchase a new kitty hideout for us it has to be attractive, something that will accent or blend  into their decor.

Jennifer has covered that as well! She has colorful, stylish and fun patterns such as:

Cat Ball In Purple Batik

Cat Ball The Lotus

Cave Drawing Cat Ball

Or the Cat Ball that I received to try out and review, the Paisley Cat Ball

My Mom particularly loved this one because it matches the walls in our office!

Here are some photos of ME enjoying MY Cat Ball!

This looks purrfect for me!

Look how cozy I am!

When I received my Cat Ball to test and review the timing couldn't have been more purrfect. At that time I was not feeling well, that was when I was having my poop issues and I was just not myself. When the Cat Ball arrived it was the purrfect place for me to rest in! As Jennifer says "Your Cat Will Figure It Out" and I did!

I love my Cat Ball because it is comfy and cozy. Mom loves it because it is well made,   stylish and mine even came with a removable pad on the bottom that makes cleaning it a breeze!

Want a Cat Ball of your own to "Figure Out?"

GIVE-AWAY!!!

You can enter to win one here! Jennifer is offering ONE lucky person a regular Cat Ball of their own. The contest is open to EVERYONE,  but if the winner is outside of the U.S. they will have to pay their own shipping cost.

Visit Cat Ball and leave a comment telling me which pattern you would like to win!

DEADLINE TO ENTER is MONDAY, JANUARY 30th, 2012 at 11PM EST. THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1st 2012.

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY NAPPING!

"Sunny Seat " ("As Seen On TV), Sunny-Side Up? Or Down...

I was thrilled when I was presented with the opportunity of reviewing the "amazing" Sunny Seat. I had wanted to have something like this for Cody for quite some time, mostly because he is strictly an indoor cat and I wanted to add some visual stimulation and a new perch  to enrich his day.

In theory, Sunny Seat is fabulous:




My Experience:

The Sunny Seat kept falling off of the window, not once, twice, three or even four times, but NUMEROUS times.

I tried to get the Sunny Seat to adhere to the window a multitude of times because I really wanted Cody to enjoy this seat. Each time I washed and dried the window thoroughly. Sometimes I used window cleaner, other times gentle soap and some water. I also cleaned and dried the suction cups. The longest the seat stayed put was approximately two hours. Cody did get to sit on it, but not for long.

Cody tries out the Sunny Seat

My Thoughts:

I am greatly disappointed. I really was looking forward to Cody enjoying the Sunny Seat.  I am  going to keep trying to see if I can get it to function properly.

The first window I tried.
 there are two connecting windows with a bar
 so maybe this was not the best idea

I  originally chose to put the Sunny Seat in the above window because I didn't want Dakota to go nuts when he sees Cody on a seat higher up in a window. The window the Sunny Seat was originally adhered to was in a room that Dakota does not have access to.

Desperately wanting this product to function as promised, I moved it to a larger window in the living room (after once again cleaning the window a few times, as well as the "industrial strength" suction cups)

So far...

So good....but noticeably missing a cat

"And they all fall down!!"
 After about 15 minutes, thankfully, without Cody sitting on it.

Some Final Questions:

It is still cold and cloudy more days than not here in Michigan. Is the Sunny Seat less functional in cold temperatures and does it only perform as promised in a window that has been warmed by the sun? (I am not trying to be funny I am serious). Do warm temps make it adhere to the window better?

Does anyone currently own the Sunny Seat? I am eager to hear your experiences and any suggestions you may have that I could implement with the anticipated result of this product functioning in the manner that I had originally  expected  it to.


**I was not compensated for this review. I was given this product to test and report my findings. As much as I prefer to do a positive review on products that I test, I must be honest when presenting the findings from this product (from my personal experience) to my  readers. Maybe your experience will produce different results.
