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!! Your Choice Of A Cat Teepee Or Cat Chalet From Cascades Boutique!!

Hi everyone! It's Cody, and I am super excited to tell you about my new Teepee and my Cat Chalet, which were both sent to me to review by Cascades Boutique!


Cascades makes Pet Homes made from recycled cardboard! How "green" is that? All cats love playing in cardboard boxes, well the great people at Cascades took that concept a step further by creating Teepees and Cat Chalets for your kitties to hide in, sleep in or just plain have a good 'ol time in!

A number of bloggers were sent a Teepee or a Cat Chalet (or both!) to review and to conduct their own give-aways,  my Mom and I were just a couple of the lucky recipients!

The first item that we received was the Cat Teepee:

The easy to assemble instructions
are written right on the box

When I saw all of the pieces
I had my concerns.
I felt this was a job
that Mom would need my help with.
I chose to supervise
the entire construction process.

I was shocked at how easy it was
for Mom to assemble the Teepee.
The Teepee is designed
so that you can decorate it the way you would like to
have it decorated.
It comes with six decorations
that can be installed on the front:
a dream catcher, a feather,
a tomahawk, eagle, a bull's head
and a banner.
Mom & I felt that the Teepee
needed a little color.
Mom pulled out some markers
and I chose what colors we would use.

"Here Mom!
How about this black marker
to put my name over the door of the Teepee?"

Mom colored the cardboard feather red
and she put my name on the front of the Teepee

It was impawtant for me to inspect
the interior sleeping area

This is one terrific Teepee!!
I love it!
I hope the Cowboys don't find me here!

Mom re-arranged "our' office
and put the Teepee right next to her desk.
This is so I can keep a lookout
for Cowboys and dangerous animals
that might come into "our" office!

Then, Saturday we were surprised to receive yet ANOTHER package from Cascades Boutique! We were shocked to find that they had sent us their Cardboard Cat Chalet!

Mom didn't take many photos of the setup on this one because she found the Chalet to be much more of a challenge to setup than the Teepee had been. (That could easily be because Mom is all paws when it comes to putting things together). From what I could see on other blogs no one else had a problem setting it up except for my Mom!

She did it!
Mom's house doesn't look as good
as some of the other blogger's houses
she has seen, but for her limited skills,
 she did quite well!
She said when she was assembling this
she wondered if the recycled cardboard
that was used for this Chalet
came from old pizza boxes because
she could swear she smelled pizza
as she was putting it together!

Here is how it looks
when a "normal" person
puts it together

Cascades Boutique website

Now..on to the BEST PART!

THE GIVE-AWAY!! One lucky Cat Chat reader is going to win their choice of either the Cat Tepee or the  Cat Chalet. (U.S. & Canada only please, we apologize to our faithful readers that are in other countries!)

HOW TO ENTER: Just leave a comment saying whether you would like the Teepee or the Cat Chalet if you should be lucky enough to be randomly chosen as the winner,  by Monday, August 15th at 11pm Eastern. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, August 17.

Mom and I received no compensation for this review. We were sent a Cat Teepee and a Cat Chalet for review and to conduct a give-away for our readers. Our opinions are strictly our own!
