The Pussums Cat Company Celebrates 40th Anniversary with World’s Largest Catnip Kicker Toy

Maine-based cat products company, The Pussums Cat Company, is celebrating its 40^th anniversary in “fur-tastic” fashion by creating the unofficial world’s largest catnip kicker.

 The paw-dropping catnip toy stands at an impressive 72 inches tall with a 50-inch circumference and holds 35 pounds of “Dr. Pussums Fancy Feline Elixir Pure Catnip” inside. The brand’s standard catnip kickers (small pillow-like toys perfect for kitties to kick) range from two inches up to eleven inches making the special anniversary celebratory kicker 550 percent larger, the biggest one ever produced by the brand.

 

The world’s largest catnip kicker has already been cat-tested, feline-approved by the in-house hospice foster cats that call The Pussums Cat Company retail location in Turner, Maine home, as well as by furry friends at nearby PALS No-Kill Cat Shelter in Winthrop, Maine.

 

“We were trying to think of fun ways to celebrate our forty years of bringing top quality catnip toys to cat lovers and thought there was no better way than to go big or go home...literally,” said Susan Shaw, owner of The Pussums Cat Company.

 

The Pussums Cat Company will be bringing the oversized catnip kicker to events around New England where fans can take photos with the kicker and bring home free Dr. Pussums samples, while supplies last. Visit bit.ly/PussumsCatCoTour to find a list of events where the catnip kicker will be on display and check back often as the list is being updated as events are added.

When not on the road you will find the world’s largest catnip kicker on display at the brand’s retail location located at 293 Auburn Road in Turner, Maine. The store is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Roary was a lucky recipient of three of their toys!!!! I was beyond impressed with the quality, and the pungent smell of catnip that was evident the second I opened the package!

To celebrate the 40^th anniversary the brand is offering monthly 40% off promotions on select items announced via e-newsletter to subscribers and social media followers. The brand is also offering an exclusive offer of 10% off items sitewide (with the exception of subscriptions and gift cards) by using code 207PURR.

A Day Purrfect for Catnip! #NationalSelfieDay #SummerSolstice #TakeYourCatToWorkDay

Hi Kitties! It's Cody and OMC there are so many things going on today that my head is SPINNING (and I am not even nipped-out yet!).  I am going to have to indulge in some MAJOR nip just to deal with all that is going on today!

First, the Summer solstice begins in the Northern Hemisphere at 6:07 am (EST). Mom and I aren't huge fans of summer, but we know many of you are! You might just want to read my tribute to summer that has appeared on the blog a  number of times!

Today is also National Selfie Day  .  I think that doesn't require ANY explanation.  National Selfie Day, a day for the duck faces and the self absorbed to do what they do EVERY DAY,  saturate social media with their narcissistic selves. Well, I don't make "duck faces", but I am self-absorbed and narcissistic (what CAT ISN'T?), I am  completely enamored with MYSELF so I just had to take this opportunity to share some super cute photos of ME in all of my nipped out glory!!

Recently, the "catnip fairy" sent some of this AMAZING catnip to Casa de Cody!  Let me say that while this is NOT a product review, I  told the "catnip fairy" that I would definitely share some photos of yours truly and this pawesome stuff! After all, I always want to let my kitty furiends know when there is some good "stuff" around to help us cope with the daily stress that we often experience with our humans.

"What daily stress?" you ask? Well, today happens to also be "Take Your Cat to Work Day" and if you live with a blogging human, who "works" from home as I do, you spend MUCH of your time AVOIDING the camera (which can make taking selfies for National Selfie Day kinda hard, MOL). I DO have to chuckle. Since my human plants her ample behind on a chair every day to help me with my posts I am kinda STUCK being at "work" all of the time. Well, not ALL of the time. ( I watch my Mom and often wonder: "How can one call playing Words With Friends and SongPop, OBSESSIVELY ALL...DAY...LONG....actually WORKING? Could that be the REAL reason why she is ALWAYS behind on reading and writing blogs, reading email, etc.?") That's a rhetorical question kitties, it's best that we don't answer that right now. I think what you need to see is my oh-so-handsome self all stoned on my nip.


 "I say, let the DOGS do the work and leave us kitties ALONE and let us do what we do best...SLEEP!!! If I wanted to go to "work" I would get a job on my own. Put THAT in your treat ball and CRUNCH it, oh Days of the Year!! I don't need ANY National Day of ANYTHING that INVOLVES WORK! GOT IT!?"

Some of you have humans who actually WORK and who aspire to blogging greatness...I say "Pffft..." Mom and I would rather be the lazy louts that we are. It works for US and we wear our laziness with PRIDE!! How do you think that Mom and I keep our fit and trim bodies? Get real. It's all about priorities and OUR priority is FOOD...and for me...FOOD AND NAPS....and for Mom...MORE FOOD.....so don't be looking for any blogging greatness around here, ok?

In case you were wondering, the Cosmic Catnip in the photos is 2-3 times more potent than normal catnip, it's made into "nuggets" to help keep it fresh and less messy, and it is grown in the USA from non-GMO seeds. (Since this is NOT a review, that's all I have for ya!! Go buy some and see for yourself!) 

Now, if you will excuse me I would appreciate being left alone to savor some private moments with my nip........if your humans take YOU to "work" today, I feel sorry for you. Remind your humans that YOU ARE A CAT and WORK IS NOT IN YOUR VOCABULARY.  Tell your humans to talk to ME and I will set them straight!

"Ohhhh I LOVE YOU Cosmic Gold!! Thank you Catnip Fairy!!"

Love, Cody

Cats! Win a Jackson Galaxy® "The Vault Marinater" and a Jackson Galaxy® Sliding Fish Marinater Toy by Petmate®

Disclosure from Cody: no green papers exchanged paws for this review. Mom and I received a Jackson Galaxy "The  Vault Marinater"  and the Jackson Galaxy Sliding Fish Marinater toy by Petmate,  in exchange for our always honest review! Neither Petmate or Jackson Galaxy is responsible for anything I meowed during this review.

As many of you know, 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 recently I reviewed a couple of others, along with his adorable Clamshell Bed.  Today I am sharing with you the catabulous Jackson Galaxy® The Vault Marinater that I received and the Jackson Galaxy® Sliding Fish Marinater Toy by Petmate®.  They are from the:

Jackson Galaxy™ Collection by Petmate® 

Share A Better World With Your Cat

My Mom is going to handle this review today. "Take it away Mom!" Thanks Cody! As cat owners, you know how it is when you want to give your cat a catnip toy that might not be as "fresh" as it was when you first purchased it. You give it to your usually catnip-crazed cat and get ZERO reaction. The catnip that once drove your kitty crazy has lost it's pungency. Now, your problem is solved!! Enter the:

Jackson Galaxy The Vault Marinater

·       Convenient storage for all your cat’s favorite Jackson Galaxy toys.

·       Infuse any toy with catnip using Jackson’s unique marinating technique.

·       The Vault confines loose catnip between permeable walls, infusing your cat’s toys while keeping them free from debris.

·       Small size perfect for  Bobblers, New Ground Prey toys, and other small Jackson Galaxy toys.

I must admit when it first arrived I thought, "you have GOT to be kidding." A marinater for catnip toys? I showed it to Cody and he thought it was a great idea. So much so that he read me the directions while I put it together.

It was super easy to assemble,

 instructions were clear and Cody was a great assistant!!

After assembling it was time to put in the catnip that was provided with The Vault Marinater. Because I will ALWAYS be upfront and candid in my reviews, I will tell you that I couldn't smell the catnip at all when I opened the package. If  I couldn't smell it, I didn't see how the toys would be infused with the scent of catnip, so, since I had different catnip at home, I added it in the side slots as shown above. Then I added some catnip toys. I added the  Jackson Galaxy® Sliding Fish Marinater Toy that was sent to Cody, which is the perfect size for the Jackson Galaxy® Vault Marinater.  It soaks up the fresh catnip scent. It is made from natural cotton and available in small and large sizes, the Sliding Fish Marinater toy is a fun fish character with a sliding center body to keep play challenging for your pet 

Jackson Galaxy® Sliding Fish Marinater Toy 

I also added some other catnip toys that Cody has. I put The Vault Marinater aside for approximately two days and decided I would have Cody "test" them after that. Cody was concerned that his "friends" were trapped and would never be released.

He didn't have to worry, soon it was time to release the toys and have Cody test their potency.

MY THOUGHTS:

The Jackson Galaxy® "The Vault Marinater"  DID work!! That being said, I thought it was funny that the first toy that Cody went to was the one that Ms.Ellen from 15 and Meowing had made by hand for him. Being the "fair and just" cat that he is, Cody eventually DID (albeit briefly), play with the Jackson Galaxy®  Sliding Fish Marinater Toy and another one of his toys.

I WAS disappointed with the catnip that was included with this product. As I mentioned above, I could NOT smell anything. If I couldn't, I am doubting Cody would have been able to as well. My advice? Be sure you have your own loose catnip around the house to add to the catnip that you will receive. If you use your own catnip we give the Vault Marinater 4 paws up. If you use just the catnip that comes with it? We give 1 or 2 paws. It just was NOT potent!!

Want to decide for yourself? Of course you do! We have a:

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  Jackson Galaxy® "The Vault Marinater" and a Marinater Toy (We are not sure if you will receive the same toy as we did, and that is why we aren't saying that.)  (An approx $20 value!!)  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.

Cody Celebrates His 10th Gotcha Day With A Kitty Kick Stix™ Give-Away!

Disclosure from Cody: I received free product and a small payment for this review. Kitty Kick Stix  is not responsible for anything I meowed during this review, and receiving payment for this review in no way influenced us about this product that we already loved because we have reviewed it in the past! All the way back in 2012!! and again in 2013!

Hi my furiends!!! It's Cody and I am sooo happy you could join me today! Today is a most SPECIAL DAY!! 10 YEARS AGO TODAY I came to my furever home with my Mom and Dad. Lemme tell ya pals, those 10 years have FLOWN by!

In honor of my 10th Gotcha Day I wanted to feature a product that I first featured way back in 2012, when Kitty Kick Stix, a family-owned business was first founded. I also featured them in 2013 and have been enjoying my own Kitty Kick Stix for quite some time!  Of ALL of my catnip toys, they remain a FAVORITE! 

Kitty Kick Stix has  dedicated all of their time and effort to creating the softest, most durable, and "cat-nipiest" cat toy on the market!! Each Kitty Kick Stix is hand made in the USA, within 72 hours  from San Clemente, CA to ensure the freshest catnip possible. Another great thing about their toys?

 Each one that is purchased helps support a cat shelter!

The ORIGINAL 15"

Kitty Kick Stix

 is the #1

 Catnip Kitty Kicker!

Don't be fooled by imitations!!

When mine arrived, I couldn't wait for my Mom
 to take the wrapping paper off, I had to get into mine RIGHT AWAY!!

Kitties, I LOVE the soft cotton fabric, that is "clawtastically strong!!", and it is layered with 100% Organic Catnip to give ME and YOUR KITTIES  hours of enjoyment!!!

Kitties since these are HANDMADE IN THE USA, you can choose your own fabric, and now there are THREE SIZES AVAILABLE! There is the ORIGINAL 15" long, 3" thick, there is 11" and even 6"!!! (Different packages are available too!!) Each is filled with 100% Organic catnip!!!!

My Mom doesn't have ANY other catnip kickers for me, why? Because who needs them when you have the ORIGINAL Kitty Kick Stix? My favorite thing to do with them is to squeeze them, roll with them and I LOVE to "BUNNY-KICK" them!!!! I received the original "Happy Cat" toy (multi-colored),  and I also received the NEW EXTRA STRENGTH toy, (Leopard Print, see video below),  for aggressive cats like me that just "keep on kickin!!!"

The Kitty Kick Stix™ Pledge:

Starting in 2016, we have partnered with multiple rescue organizations to donate a percentage of each order to a rescue of your choice. It’s a scary fact that each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized (1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats) – (Source aspca.org).

We want to help cats around the world find excitement and purpose, along with the facilities having enough financial help as possible to continue the service they provide. Of the cats entering shelters, approximately 37% are adopted, 41% are euthanized, and less than 5% of cats who came in as strays are returned to their owners. As part of the Kitty Kick Stix pledge, we will donate back to local rescues to help make a difference in a cat’s life!

We think that is pretty darned special!!!  Now, we have something special for you!!! A GIVE-AWAY!!!!

SURPRISE!!!

Cat Toy World-Wide Give-Away from 4CATS Cuddly Toys!!

FINALLY!!!! Cody's Colossal 10th Birthday Cat Toy Give-Away is HERE!! We deeply apologize for the delay and we thank you for your patience!!!

Cody and I were so happy when a few weeks ago our furiends at Katzenworld  asked if Cody would be willing to try some cat toys that are made by their furiends at 4cats . We happily agreed, but only if we could have a give-away for our readers!

ABOUT 4CATS:

• All products are made in Germany
• Their "careful manufacturing process uses only selected, certified pollutant-free, raw materials."
• Their OWN cats test their toys
• The cuddly toys are filled with 4catsnip (their exclusive blend of catnip, Green Labels on packaging) or Valerian (Brown Labels on packaging)

Cody has always been a pretty big fan of catnip, but he had never tried any toys that contained Valerian until he tried the toys from 4cats. I have to tell you, the second I opened the packaging, even after having traveled all of the way from the U.K. to our home, the smell was super pungent! So pungent that not only did Cody "get buzzed", but I think that I did too!!!

Their cuddly toys, filled with valerian as well as with 4catsnip, are designed with love at their company's facility based in Stolberg,  Germany where they are hand-crafted and then placed in sealed packaging to preserve their potency. They eschew the use of any adhesives, metal parts or other dangerous components.

Normally, I like to shoot video of Cody with new toys but the 4cats toys had such an effect on him that he would have been nothing but a big ball of blur!!! He did his usual "bunny-kick" routine and was rolling and kicking to beat the band!

Cody was lucky to receive a BONANZA of toys!! You can see by the photos just how adorable the 4cats toys are and I am pleased with how well-made they are as well. The patterns, styles and colors of the toys are just darling. My faves are the "knots" shown above and the huge "kickers." They are quite large and are perfect for bunny-kicking and holding close!

The toy that Cody was immediately drawn to was the heart, (because he is such a loverboy?) He just seemed to not be able to get enough of it!

Check out Cody's expression above. He was feeling pretty darned good!!!!! Once he was done playing, the toys made GREAT pillows too!

As of now, the MAIN world-wide link for purchasing is on the Katzenworld blog. (For FTC disclosure we aren't 100% sure if he is receiving a commission on toys sold, but we wanted to disclose that the main purchase link here could be an affiliate link. We were NOT monetarily compensated in any way for this post. We received a more than generous assortment of toys for Cody to try) You can also purchase HERE world-wide (but pricing might be a little higher than where I have linked above).

GIVE-AWAY!!!

4cats has generously offered a WORLD-WIDE GIVE-AWAY for those who are 18 and over. 4cats will send THREE LUCKY WINNERS an assortment of toys!  Entering is easy, simply enter on the rafflecopter below and be sure to follow the instructions! Failure to do so could cause disqualification.  GOOD LUCK!!!!

My Tabby James Co. Organic Catnip Birthday Give-Away! #farmtofeline

Hi my furiends and thanks so much for stopping by!! Today is a special day!!! Today is my BIRTHDAY!! Specifically, my 9th Birthday!!!! 

If I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know that the "cake" in the photo above was recycled. See those lame cat toys thrown haphazardly on the top? Well, that was to cover what the cake REALLY says. Ready for this feline furiends? It says "Today is my BARK DAY!!" Yep, you got it! Mom recycled Sheltie Boy's birthday cake/toy and decided to use it for ME. The NERVE!!!

When I listened to her plotting this scheme a few weeks ago, I told her that she had BETTER think of a way to make this insult of epic proportions up to me. And...she DID!

Mom knows that if there is one thing I love other than food, it's CATNIP!!  I had been reading about the USDA certified organic catnip that the Tabby James Co. has on a number of the blogs I paw around, and I was quite intrigued. After all, I'M a TABBY CAT and I felt that I should add this catnip to my stash! Mom got off her lazy butt, emailed the Tabby James Co. and they were kind enough to send me catnip to try! Specifically their Mixed set.

When it arrived I was beside myself!

I couldn't wait to see what was inside!

The mixed set includes Valerian Root, Regular Cut Catnip and Fine Cut Catnip. The Tabby James peeps really know how to keep a kitty hooked up!!! It also comes with a little pouch to store your hooch catnip in!!!

"C'mon and crack these babies open!!!"

"How incredible do THESE look?
So fresh, the second you open each one, the intoxicating aroma lures you in.
 Kitties, you will LOVE THESE!!"

From Tabby James:
 “Do you remember the gorgeous backdrop of The Sound of Music?

 That’s the kind of environment our catnip grows in.

 We source our catnip locally from the Pacific Northwest,

 and harvest it at the peak of its freshness.

 The herb is then sliced and diced into sprinkle-able portions

 and packaged in airtight glass containers

 to keep it fresh and smelling crisp”

“Why do cats like catnip?”

“No one really knows! Catnip contains nepetalactone, which emulates reactions typically produced by pheromones, though no one understands exactly why this happens. All we know for sure is that just a whiff of catnip makes cats happy and sends them rolling and jumping around in a state of euphoria.”

“Why is your catnip different?”

“We’ve searched high and low to bring you only the freshest, highest quality organic catnip. Tabby James catnip is packaged in small doses inside airtight glass bottles so that no catnip ever goes stale or gets wasted. We offer package deals on bottles so you can stock up on sealed, fresh catnip for a rainy day!”

KITTIES!! Watch me in action!!!!!!! (I had to turn my back on my Mom so I could completely immerse myself in my catnip buzz. You see, Mom put ALL THREE of the different samples in my pouch!!!)

"It's not a party til you walk around
with the  catnip pouch on your head!!!"

I can't thank the Tabby James Co. enough for sending me this catabulous catnip!!! I give it 4-paws up!! (8-paws up if I am buzzed and seeing double!!) I am gonna have one heck of a wild celebration this weekend, that is for sure!!!

GIVE-AWAY!!! U.S. KITTIES!! (my apologies to kitties that live outside of the U.S.A, but Tabby James  can't send hooch catnip out of the country). You must be 18 years old+ to enter. The Tabby James Co. is giving away one MIXED SET like the one I have above (A $20 value). Entering is easy peasy, just enter on the rafflecopter below, good luck!!!!!

In full disclosure: no money exchanged paws for this review/give-away. I received a Mixed Set in exchange for my always honest review.

Secret Paws Moved Mountains to Get Here!!

Ok, that might be a slight HUGE exaggeration, but once you hear who my Secret Paws is, you will see what I mean!

Silly me, I forgot to say hi to all of you!! Hope every furry is doing well!

I am so excited buzzed from all of the Valerian Root that I received, that I can barely think straight to tell you about who my Secret Paws is!!

This past Tuesday was a day like any other.  I was laying around, watching the clock, wondering if it was too soon to start whining for dinner when Dad came in with a box! Mom looked up and said, "Oh!! I bet that is from Cody's Secret Paws!!"

The second Mom and I looked at the labels on the box, we knew EXACTLY who it was from!

It was from Pixie and Zorro of the Swiss Cats Blog!!!

 Mom and I could barely contain our excitement! Mom has been obsessed with Switzerland ever since she first saw Heidi starring Shirley Temple. Mom has always wanted to visit Switzerland and receiving a package from there is probably as close as she is ever going to get to BEING there!  I wanted to inspect the package more closely to see if I could smell The Alps!!

The second the box was opened I KNEW that there was something or some THINGS that smelled intoxicating!!! I could not wait to get a closer look!

Mom said before I could do that, I mustn't be greedy, I had to read the card that Pixie and Zorro's Mom, Claire, had taken the time to write for me:

After I read the lovely note that  Claire, Pixie and Zorro had written for me, it was time to get down to the serious business of opening presents!! I didn't know where to begin!

It didn't take me long before I zeroed in on the one that I would open first!

It was a super cute catnip pillow that had Christmas colors on it and it had Valerian Root inside!! I LOVE IT!!

Mom took a video of me playing with it too!

There was a cat tunnel that Mom said was the nicest she has EVER seen!

You will see a better photo of this further down in the blog where it is shown open....but in the meantime, Mom is dying for you to see one of HER favorite gifts that Pixie, Zorro and Claire sent to me!  Mom says it is the most adorable Santa Mouse she has EVER seen!

I just LOVE mice and I LOVE the color red!! This little guy is gonna be LOTS of fun!!! But...I'm not done yet! I received another catnip kicker that is called the Wild Catnip Stick,  that is ALSO red:

After I played with this one, I was pretty buzzed, it was time to let the room spin 'round and round....

Did you notice how I just STOPPED? Yep kitties, that was it for me! All of that nip and Valerian Root got to me and I slept for HOURS and HOURS after I was done playing. Don't worry, I was fine and I DID make sure I got up for my 10pm snack    buffet!!! 

Guess what kitties? Claire, Pixie and Zorro didn't forget my Mom either, they included a beautiful Swiss calendar where Mom can live vicariously and gaze at scenes of Switzerland and pretend that she lives there!!

Isn't that beautiful!? Mom LOVES it and is touched that Claire included Mom in the Secret Paws box as well! 

We Want To Say Thank You!!

to Pixie, Zorro and Claire for picking out such pawesome, fun and thoughtful gifts!!!! You can see all of them in the photo below and you will also see the tunnel unfolded in this photo. The artwork on the tunnel is unique and Mom is in love with it! I am too! I normally don't use tunnels much but Mom was shocked when I immediately went inside this one, she tried to get photos but I wouldn't look out of the hole, so she gave up.

These gifts are just catabulous and Mom and I will put them to good use!! THANK YOU!!! We would also be remiss if we didn't thank Mom Paula from Sweet Purrfections and her kitties,  the hostesses, Truffle and Brulee for all of their hard work on Secret Paws 2015!!

 It isn't easy coordinating all of the purrticipating kitties, giving us all of the information we need to mail our gifts, etc., etc., and we want Mom Paula to know how much we appreciate her hard work!!!

The Secret Paws event is one of our favorite of the year, and without Mom Paula, Truffle and Brulee, we wouldn't have all of the fun that we have with it, so THANK YOU!!!

Thanks again to Zorro, Pixie and Claire for such generous and fun presents!!!!! I will be playing with them often and Mom will think of you every time she gazes longingly at the scenes from Switzerland! Thank you!!! We love you! Thanks for being so kind!

Cody and Mom
