Cat Toy: "Go Fish" from The Jackson Galaxy™ Collection by Petmate® (Review and Give-Away!)

Disclosure from Cody: no green papers exchanged paws for this review. I received a Jackson Galaxy Go Fish by Petmate in exchange for my always honest review! Neither Petmate or Jackson Galaxy is responsible for anything I meowed during this review.

Hi my kitty furiends! It's Cody handling the review duties today! I have been blogging for nearly 8 years now (wow my paws are TIRED!!), and throughout that time I have been reviewing/featuring, (Mom too, when it has been applicable),  toys, books, TV shows,  and special philanthropic causes AND MORE, that a certain special "Cat Daddy" has been a part of. This special purrson needs no introduction, but in the event that you are living under a bag of kitty litter and don't know who he is, this special purrson is Jackson Galaxy. Years ago I reviewed a few of his toys and today marks the first day  of a few special items that I will be sharing with you over the next few weeks, (and giving away to you if you are lucky!). These items are from the:



Jackson Galaxy™ Collection by Petmate® 

Share A Better World With Your Cat



"Cats who play are naturally more confident in their territorial ownership, meaning they will be happier and better behaved. The Jackson Galaxy™ Collection by Petmate® taps directly into their natural instincts to bring out their best."

The first item I am going to present to you is the Jackson Galaxy Go Fish Cat Toy  . Normally when Mom needs me to review something, I am not always the most cooperative cat in town, but when this item came I IMMEDIATELY went to scope it out!



Jackson Galaxy Go Fish
Jackson Galaxy™ Go Fish is a self-activating play cat toy that truly satisfies your cat’s hunting instincts and keeps him engaged for hours and hours of stimulating fun! Jackson demonstrates how to place cat treats throughout the Go Fish pegs to keep your cat busy with this puzzle toy. This dishwasher-safe toy is versatile and doubles as a slow-feed bowl!
Now, here is Jackson to tell you more about it!

Let me tell you kitties I LOVE this toy!! Leave it to my crotchety Mama to have only ONE tiny complaint. She said it was extremely hard to get the fishies into the holes (now remember, this is MY Mama talking, the rest of you probably have humans who aren't as "challenged" as my Mama is.). While Mom was trying to put the fishies in the hole, I heard HBO words kitties that would knock your white socks off (if you are kitties with white paws that double as socks!). Once my brainiac Mom stopped muttering profanities while trying to put the adorable little fish in the holes, I was FINALLY able to ENJOY and LOVE my toy!!


See? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! (Oh and that comfy looking clam shell bed that you see in these photos? We are going to be having a give-away for that too on August 4th!!).......the photos below will show you that the Jackson Galaxy Go Fish Cat Toy is A LOT of FUN and kept me busy!


This toy is SUPER PAWESOME!!!!!!! If it involves food, I'm all over it! Mom says it is a good way to keep me from inhaling eating my treats and kibble too fast which is my normal preferred style of eating! What can I say? I take my treats and food seriously!!


GIVE-AWAY!!

 Kitties! If your human resides in the U.S. and is 18 and over and can enter for you, you could be the LUCKY WINNER of the Go Fish cat toy from The Jackson Galaxy™ Collection by Petmate® !! Entering is super easy, just enter on the Rafflecopter below and good luck!!!

About Jackson Galaxy™


Jackson Galaxy is the host and executive producer of Animal Planet’s hit show, My Cat From Hell, currently entering its sixth season. Throughout the show’s run, he has consistently challenged both the traditional cat-lover stereotype, with his tattoo-clad arms and guitar case filled with cat toys, and the way cats themselves are perceived. Jackson started his career working "in the trenches" in animal shelters, and since then, has spent over 20 years developing his “Cat Mojo” approach to solving cat (and human) issues. He has dedicated his life to promoting a compassionate world for all animals and, with the establishment of the Jackson Galaxy Foundation, is intensifying his work toward the ultimate goal of achieving a “no-kill” reality in the U.S. and beyond. Jackson’s first book, Cat Daddy: What the World’s Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean, was published by Tarcher in 2012. Coauthored with cat style expert Kate Benjamin of Hauspanther.com, his second book Catification: Designing a Happy & Stylish Home for Your Cat (and You!) reached #1 on The New York Times Animal Bestseller list in 2014.

4 Paws Pottery, "Pottery Inspired by Our Love of Pets" Unique Hand-Crafted Ceramics

4 Paws Pottery makes  
 lead free, and microwave/dishwasher safe ceramic items for pets and pet lovers. They can also personalize their products with the names of your pets!!  You can find their full collection of pet ornaments, and their stamp gallery, at their website: www.4pawspottery.com!
TRUE CONFESSION !! I have a major "thing" for hand-crafted ceramics. Looking back, I think it started as a child. Growing up in an artistic household, my parents had a love of hand-crafted items. From paintings, to drawings, to hand-crafted furniture, warm, cozy items filled our home. Our family had a deep appreciation for the time that is invested in any item that is handmade. In my mind, items that are hand-crafted are unique items that are to be cherished.

As I grew older attending art fairs throughout the year became one of my favorite hobbies. When I lived in Cleveland, a "must-attend" fair was the Boston Mills Art Fair that took place every July 4th weekend. I would grab a friend and head out, often returning with hand-crafted ceramic pie plates, casserole dishes and more, that to me, were much too pretty to use for how they were intended to be used.

As a blogger, when looking for items for Cody and Dakota, I also gravitate to hand-crafted. Truth be told, I am not a fan of cat or dog bowls that are stainless steel, or that have sleek modern lines. I am drawn to WARMTH. I am drawn to ceramics that are  hand-crafted with love, that can be personalized and  that make me feel all warm and fuzzy. Those are just some of the reasons that I LOVE the hand-crafted items made by 4 Paws Pottery.



My Angel Bobo had his own bowl, and Cody did too, until a few months ago when Cody's accidentally broke. I was beside myself. Then I remembered having lusted after the bowls I had seen on a number of blogs that were made by 4 Paws Pottery I jumped online, popped into their Etsy shop, introduced myself and asked if there was any way that I could review their bowls. I am honored that Candice, the owner/creator of 4 Paws Pottery, granted my wish! The bowl that is pictured above and below is Cody's ADORABLE new bowl! (Keep an eye on  Dakota's blog to see HIS special bowl soon!!)





You will notice that the bowl is wide enough to not cause any whisker stress. There are a number of colors and styles to choose from. You can have the bowl personalized. It is a nice, sturdy, weight. I keep mine in a safe place because I don't want any accidents to happen!
If you look at the color of the bowl and the pattern, the way the color is set is something that is unique and special (to me). That is how hand-crafted pottery SHOULD look. It's one-of-a-kind and special.

CREATING THESE PIECES IS A  LONG PROCESS!!!

The process begins with freshly pugged stoneware clay that is thrown into shape on a flat disk called a batt. Using water, Candice uses her  hands, and kicking  wheel where she can bend the clay into a bowl, a jar, or even flatten it into a plate or jar lid. Freshly formed pottery is very wet and takes about 2 to 3 days to dry out for trimming. 

When ready for trimming she uses a cheese wire to cut the piece from the batt, and then it goes back on her wheel. She trims all the excess clay away from the piece to make sure everything looks clean and smooth. She waits about an hour after each piece is trimmed to let it dry out a bit and then it heads for painting! 

After painting it dries for a few more days, and when dry it goes to the kiln! The first firing is the bisque which is a 3 day process. Then she does the final glass glaze which takes several hours, followed by loading the kiln for the final firing. This firing also takes 3 days.



Visit 4 Paws Pottery on Facebook!!! 


Hand-crafted items are special, pride in craftsmanship isn't always present in our modern world, with the items at 4 Paws Pottery you can be certain that love, care, time, talent and great thought are put into each and every item!

Bowls, plates, slow feeder bowls, treat jars, and more! You can get items for cats, dogs and small animals!

I could not be happier with my bowls and I am certain you will be too!

ModaPet Bowls Integrate Form and Function at affordable pricing! Review/Give-away THREE Winners!

The first time I learned about ModaPet Bowls was when I won a give-away for a ModaPet dog food bowl   for Dakota from the popular blog Pepper's Paws. 

That was in March of 2013 and that bowl, to this day, is a favorite! 

When I was presented with the opportunity of featuring ModaPet on Cat Chat With Caren and Cody I jumped at the chance.

Why ModaPet?




The ModaPet Bowl is:
  • BPA Free
  • Made from Food Grade Materials
  • Dishwasher Safe
  • Highly Durable
  • Skid Resistant
  • Tip Resistant
  • Fade Resistant
From ModaPet:

ModaPet is a US based company with Italian influenced design. 

ModaPet is driven by attention to the important details that include "form with function", and strive to provide great value with high quality materials and proven product cost controls. This unique philosophy truly differentiates ModaPet within the pet industry. 

Our designs are fun, different and add a "fashion" look for your pet and your environment. The design team carefully assesses each project and is personally involved from the inception through manufacturing and finally to the customer. All products are manufactured using certified food grade and BPA free plastics to protect the health of our animal "customers". 

We know that your pets are part of your family. We strive to blend your pets' furnishings into your lifestyle, so we design products that no longer need to be hidden from friends and family. 





 Notice the "skid resistant" area in black on the bowl that we received that is shown in the above photo. The ModaPet bowls are frankly the best made bowls that I own. As promised, they do NOT skid, they are sturdy and are visually appealing.

The bowl featured above (and below),  is the bowl that was sent to Cody to review.  It is called "Some Like It Hot" and holds two cups. At first, Cody was a little taken aback that he is a mancat and received a HOT PINK bowl, but after giving it careful thought, he realized he was secure enough with his mancat-manliness that he could scarf down his noms out of ANY color bowl!





From ModaPet:

The base is a TPE polymer. This material meets all of our design objectives. The TPE is soft, similar to rubber, to aid in the non-skid feature. In addition, TPE is overmolded to the ABS for a solid bond. The overmold makes our bowls dishwasher safe. If rubber were used, then the base would be glued. Glue would break down after a couple of dishwasher cycles. 











As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, Dakota's ModaPet bowl, and now Cody's, are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES!! I know you will love them too!GUESS WHAT? THREE of you will find out just how much you love them!

ModaPet has agreed to do a give-away for THREE LUCKY WINNERS who are 18 and over and RESIDE IN THE U.S. (I apologize to my International readers, this is something that I have no control over.  The cost of shipping outside of the U.S. is quite high. Whenever I am able to offer a give-away that includes everyone, I always do!)  WIN A ModaPet BOWL! (a $14.95 value).

HOW TO ENTER:TAKE A LOOK AT THE COLORS OF THE BOWLS (CLICK HERE ) AND LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW TELLING ME WHICH COLOR BOWL YOU WOULD LIKE, SHOULD YOU BE ONE OF THE THREE LUCKY WINNERS! 

THE GIVE-AWAY IS OPEN NOW AND WILL END ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6TH AT 5PM EST. THE WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN BY WWW.RANDOM.ORG AND WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH.

GOOD LUCK!!


In full Disclosure:I was not compensated for this review/give-away. I was sent a ModaPet bowl in exchange for my honest review.

Clairvoyant cat: "Mr. Nuts" Picks San Francisco to Lose Super Bowl XLVII:Guest Blog by Five Pet Place

BREAKING NEWS!!

"The first Super Bowl pick was supposed to determine a winner -- but while scooping his box I got to thinking 'you know there's a pretty obvious message here' and wound up going in the opposite direction," said Ostrofsky.

MISSION SAN JOSE, CA  31 January 2013  Five Pet Place, a producer of designer cat furniture, today announces Mr. Nuts, a cat with a track record of accurately predicting the outcome of future events, has projected the San Francisco 49ers to lose Super Bowl XLVII.  He made his choice by selecting between two identically prepared litter boxes.


"Mr Nuts"


A Furry Jimmy the Greek

A large black and white tuxedo cat, Mr. Nuts made his first Super Bowl prediction two years ago by correctly picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to lose to the Green Bay Packers by choosing a cat box designated to represent that particular team.  He followed it up last year by correctly picking the favored New England Patriots to lose to the New York Giants and Mitt Romney's loss to Barack Obama in the presidential election.  A prediction for the gender of Prince William and Kate's baby is pending.

You Can't Handle the Truth

"The thing about Mr. Nuts is he doesn't let anything influence him," said Five Pet Place founder Michael Ostrofsky. "He picked the Steelers to lose while living in a house full of Steelers fans.  He picked the Patriots to lose even though the odds makers favored them to win.  He waited to pick Romney until there was a cocktail party with numerous Republicans over.  Now he's going against the grain by not only picking the favored 49ers to lose -- he's doing it despite living in the middle of the San Francisco Bay Area.  Want a pat on the back?  Call a friend.  Want the truth?  Ask Mr. Nuts because he'll tell it like it is whether you can handle it or not."

Why He Picks Losers Instead of Winners


Football and election experts usually focus on choosing winners.  Not when it comes to Mr. Nuts.  "The first Super Bowl pick was supposed to determine a winner -- but while scooping his box I got to thinking 'you know there's a pretty obvious message here' and wound up going in the opposite direction," said Ostrofsky.  "Now he has a Wikipedia page and gets requests for interviews from here to Canada.  People were even using Mr. Nuts hashtags on Twitter during the election."


"Mr Nuts" Picks



Details About the Selection Process

"When making picks, we try to get into the spirit of what he's trying to determine," said Ostrofsky.  "For the election, we had Romney on the right and Obama on the left for obvious reasons.  For this pick, we flipped a coin and had someone in Baltimore call the toss because the Ravens are the Super Bowl's visiting team.  She got that right -- then elected to choose the "east" box as it's closer to Baltimore.

As for the llitter boxes themselves, the Ravens' was finished in solid Pure White as that's the color of their road uniforms.  The 49ers'?  It featured our Regal Tan accent paint as it's similar to their team colors.  In a way, Roger Goodell would be impressed."

How Mr. Nuts Got Ready for "Game Day"

Just like any athlete, Mr. Nuts ate a special high protein diet and trained hard before game day.  "Since Baltimore is known for crab cakes and San Francisco for fresh crab at Fisherman's Wharf, we went and got some for his cat feeder.  Of course, he had to wash it down by drinking water out of the kitchen faucet," said Ostrofsky.  "Then we put some catnip on one of his cat scratchers to get him to work out a bit.  He got so fired up he actually fell off it.  He even attacked these miniature toy footballs with Ravens and 49ers logos we bought for him.  All I can say is when that cat was ready to go -- he was ready to go."

A Real Crapshoot

"I for one am glad not to be making that pick," said Ostrofsky.  "These teams are so evenly matched choosing a winner's a real crapshoot -- pun intended.  But when it comes to crapshoots Mr. Nuts is the best in the business.

I"ll be honest, though, I really wished he picked the Ravens.  My neighbors, the guys at the golf course, everybody at the gym -- they're all 49ers fans.  If he's wrong, I'm never going to hear the end of this."

Dining In Style Is A "Good Thing!" Martha Stewart PETS available exclusively at PETSMART! Give-Away!!

Hi everyone! So I see you missed me yesterday? It's Cody and  I am back! I was busy working on this special blog post for today, I had a lot of tasting  testing to do!


I was pretty upset when Mom went to BlogPaws 2011. She left and didn't even have the courtesy of asking ME, her blogging buddy, if I wanted to come! The nerve!

She redeemed herself though by chatting with Stephanie  from PetSmart who gave Mom and a number of other lucky bloggers the chance of having us kitties review a new pet feeder from the paragon of perfection herself, Martha Stewart!! We were thrilled and honored!

Martha Stewart Pets has brought a unique collection of cat-care products exclusively to PetSmart!

Martha is known for  meticulous standards of quality in everything that she undertakes and her line of pet feeders/mats at PetSmart are no exception!
Mom liked how pretty the pet feeder was wrapped
when it arrived.  I, on the other paw,
 enjoyed how the plastic tasted!

So here is what I got to give a test-run!
Martha Stewart™ Double Feeder 
This double-feeder is efficient, modern and stylish.
 Includes air-tight lids for easy travel with your pet. A PetSmart exclusive.

How cool is this?
A feature that Mom loves about this feeder are the lids. It isn't just good for travel but it is good for storing left overs (left overs? What cat leaves food over, certainly not "moi!").

 Mom also likes how the stainless steel dishes keep my water super cool, just like ME!

These bowls are also the purrfect size for kitties! No "super-size me" bowls needed for us!  They are shallow and are purrfectly sized to accommodate our ample whiskers!
Also for those of you who are enthusiastic eaters like me, these bowls are made of non-skid melamine so you won't be chasing them  across the floor while you eat!

this is how they look with food in them!
Check out the
Martha Stewart™ Silicon Feeding Mat 
Making meal time better for both you and your pet! This lipped-edge mat prevents messy spills and makes clean-up easier. A PetSmart exclusive. Available in assorted colors.
This feeding mat is made out of Silicon
and is super easy to wipe clean!
 It also catches any crumblies
 that might fall from my mouth during my rapid-fire nomming!
This feeding mat  has a narrow raised rim on the side
 to keep those crumblies in one place!
See how nicely I keep my elbows
paws off of the mat?
I want to finish eating but first I have to tell you that we are having a GIVE-AWAY! 
The GIVE-AWAY is open to U.S. AND CANADA ONLY and one lucky reader of 
Cat Chat will win their very own cat feeder and cat feeding mat! 
That's a SUPER "good thing!"

All you have to do is leave a comment below saying that you would like to win the feeder. The deadline to enter is MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH AT MIDNIGHT EST.
The Winner will be announced WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th!

GOOD LUCK!

In full disclosure, we were  not compensated for this post, we were sent the feeder and mat to test/review and Mom and I love them!  All opinions are strictly MINE! Now, back to what I do best, EATING!

Friday Find! Pawsitively Elegant!!

Happy Friday All! Wish I could say it was "happy" but right now I am running a temp/fever and having sinus issues, took everything out of me to get up to post this but I had promised Brenda that I would.


One day while surfing Twitter I happened upon these GORGEOUS elevated dog/cat bowls, they are stunning! In full disclosure, no I do not have one nor have I purchased one (yet) but they are on my "wish list".  Enjoy!




Welcome to Pawsitively Elegant, a division of Defining Designs by cms.  Your pampered pets deserve the very best!  What better way to show them you care by giving them a one-of-a-kind stained glass mosaic customized elevated dog/cat bowl, a leash/attire holder to hold their favorite leash and attire, a picture frame to show off their beautiful portrait or a pet urn to keep them close to your heart when they cross rainbow bridge. 
 
 

Our unique and beautiful designer elevated dog/cat bowls are made with wood, top quality stained glass, stainless steel bowls, gems and dog/cat embellishments.  They have been sealed for protection to allow for easy cleanup and protection from food and water.  A frame is attached around the edges of each feeder to add to the overall style of the feeder.  The legs can be stained or painted and come in a variety of sizes.  Whether you need an elevated  feeder 2.5" from the floor, or one that is 26", we can accommodate your needs.


 
 

Commemorate the life of your beloved pet by putting their ashes in a beautiful custom mosaic stained glass pet urn.  Each one comes with a pottery paw, sayings and gems.  The bottom is removable with 4 small screws allowing you to put the ashes safely inside.  A photo holder is also included if you'd like to put it on top.


How many times have you searched your home for the dog/cat leash, collar or treat bag?  Often times people don’t have a dog/cat leash holder due to the unsightly appearance of a hook on the wall.  Having pet furniture or accessories in the home doesn’t have to be hidden and can now bring style and elegance to your home. 

Our pets truly are “man’s best friend” and love us unconditionally.  Show them off proudly as one of the family by putting their photo in a mosaic cat/dog picture frame whether it’s at home or at the office.  Each frame is made with stained glass, gems and dog/cat embellishments.


Having a family pet doesn't mean you can't blend their accessories with your decor and do it with style.  If you have a friend or family member that has pampered pets, give them a unique pet gift that will keep them smiling.  

Since our items are one-of-a-kind we always invite custom orders.  For your convenience we take Visa, Mastercard and Discover as well as PayPal.

Thank You Deb At "Just Cats (In-Home Cat-Care)

Many of you that are readers of Cat Chat are also readers of a superb blog called
 Just Cats (In-Home Cat-Care) written by a  immensely talented woman named Deb.

Deb has written on her blog:


"WELCOME to my blog. I hope this is a calm & relaxing place to visit."

It IS "calm and relaxing but is oh so much more than that!"

Here is a little about Deb:



From Deb's Profile:
"I have 3 wonderful adult children, a patient husband & I am a nanna to little Riley. I own a business called Just Cats - professional in-home cat-sitting service so it goes without saying that I love cats and spend most of my time caring for them. I also have a passion for white dishes and every china-cabinet catches my attention. I live with my husband, 4 senior cats and a rescued Sheltie named Kane. I love walking my dog, walking alone, photographing my cats, hiking, earthy colours, the purity of white, pink grapefruit, silver and turquoise jewellery, bracelets, licorice and a cup of hot tea. James Taylor is my #1 favorite." 

If you aren't already following Deb, please strongly consider it. Her blog is full of heartwarming and captivating photos and stories of the cats she so lovingly cares for and the family (both 4-legged and 2-legged) that are the core of who she is. Deb  is a caring, talented, creative and passionate woman who elegantly portrays in her blog all of the things in life that she holds dear.

Back in July, Deb held a give-away for an adorable pet food dish by Petrageous US and my Cody was the lucky recipient of this wonderful prize! Cody and I  wanted to take a moment to thank Deb and to tell her how lucky Cody was to win such an adorable dish!


"I have a package! It is from Ontario Canada!
How cool is that?"

"Deb had taken one of the exquisite photos
of her kitty named Sierra
and made it into this gorgeous card
that Mom said she is going to eventually frame
because it is just too beautiful to ever part with!
Mom and I think that Deb should
seriously consider starting her own greeting card line
with the gorgeous photos that she takes"

"What a lucky kitty I am!
Deb took the time to write a beautiful note
(Mom said "even her HANDWRITING is GORGEOUS!")
All of Deb's babies signed the card,
 as well as Deb herself!"

"There were even delicious kitty treats!
(please excuse Mom's big feet,
 she needs to take photography lessons from Deb)"

"The adorable dish from Petrageous US
came wrapped in this
oh so beautiful bag!!
I told Mom since I am a mancat
I would gladly share that with her
That is the least I can do
since she entered me in the contest"

"Here is my adorable dish!
Isn't it just too cute?"



Mom took a video of me taking my medicine in my new dish. Please excuse the darkness of the video and get some ear plugs so you don't have to tolerate my Mom's awful singing!!! There is actually MORE to her "Medicine Song" be grateful you don't have to listen to it in full like I do!!
