Friday Find! Thirsty Cat Fountains And A Give-Away!

Hi everyone it's Cody! I am here to tell you about a catabulous product that I was lucky enough to try, and YOU are going to have a chance to win one for yourself!

We had an ongoing problem in our house. I wouldn't drink out of my own water bowl. I would only drink out of Dakota's bowl and Mom was worried that because of my food allergies that wasn't a good idea.

Ancient and oh-so-blurry
photo of me drinking from Dakota's bowl
before he got his new feeder
and before I got my new fountain!

Mom tried everything. All sorts of cute bowls were put before me, but nope, I wouldn't use them.

Mom wasn't able to make it to BlogPaws this past summer but Kate Benjamin from ModernCat was kind enough to send Mom all sorts of info about the new
  Catification Lounge! Mom was so excited when she read about these GORGEOUS cat fountains that looked like works of art called:

Click here to visit them!

Mom had a feeling these fountains would be the answer to her prayers, so she contacted the talented Keith Davitt who sells these great fountains on his Etsy Shop , and asked if he would be interested in being featured on our blog. Much to Mom's (and my) excitement he agreed! He even sent me my OWN fountain! Check it out!

CORRECTION FROM CODY: I just received an email from Keith informing me that my Mom did not assemble my fountain correctly.

My mother is not the most adept at assembly and following instructions and it certainly wasn't her intent to cause anyone "embarrassment" by not having the fountain properly put together. 

These wonderful fountains come with a HAND-MADE CERAMIC LEAF OR SHELL which should not be standing on the side as Mom has depicted it. The purpose of the hand-made ceramic leaf or shell is to cover the cord or feedthrough INSIDE the fountain. NOT as Mom has shown them in the photo. The properly assembled fountain looks like this:

Once again Mom and I apologize for putting the fountain together incorrectly but you know what? I'm a cat and all I care about is that the water tastes good when I drink it and that the fountain is beautiful. 

From Keith's Etsy shop: "Cats need to drink enough water and it is well known that cats much prefer moving water. Whether flowing up, down or sideways, these fountains encourage your cats to drink,contributing to their health, with none of the negative effects that come from China-made or plastic cat fountains or fountains with difficult to clean corners. As to food-safeness, a lack of lead in the glaze is not sufficient. Has the glaze been tested for leaching of colorants or other chemical components in the glaze? Ours have."

Not convinced your cat will use one? I am the KING of shunning new things! LOOK AND LISTEN!! The sound of the bubbling water just might put you to sleep.


Mom and I think this fountain is superb. We couldn't be happier and my water tastes the best it has ever tasted!

GIVE-AWAY! Keith was kind enough to offer one lucky reader of Cat Chat (U.S. only please) a fountain of their own! If you would like to win one please leave a comment telling us why you would like a fountain by FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH AT 11PM EST.

A Kitty Toy Paradise!! Compliments of The Moderncat Studio Etsy Shop "treats and toys for stylish felines"

Today is "Thankful Thursday" and I have to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Kate Benjamin of Moderncat and the Moderncat Studio Etsy Shop!  A few weeks ago I received the most catabulous box of goodies from Kate, I just couldn't believe my eyes!

Mom is captivated by the color/quality of all of the toys and the fact that they are made out of materials that aren't harmful to me.

I love them because I can swat 'em, chase 'em, carry 'em, put the bitey on 'em,  bunny kick 'em and just have a catabulous time with 'em!

Look at all of these great toys!
They are all available on the
  Moderncat Studio Etsy Shop!

Moderncat's own
super potent catnip!
You are gonna LOVE this one!

My Modkicker!!
"ModKickers are a must-have in any moderncat household. These designer toys are a favorite with the felines. Perfect for bunny kicking, attacking, and snuggling, these cat toys are stuffed with organic catnip and polyfill for extra kick. Made with sturdy designer fabrics in mod patterns and colors, you won't mind seeing these scattered around your house.

This listing is for one small ModKicker measuring approximately 2.5" x 4.5" in aqua, chocolate, and cream striped fabric with cream felt trim."

Designed and made by Kate Benjamin

Bamboleo
has a super cool natural look
this is one of my favorite videos
because Cody grabs the Bamboleo
and makes a get-away with it!
" Bamboleos (Spanish for rock, roll, and wobble) turn recycled wine corks into stylish little toys that cats love. Each one is handmade using natural cork, sturdy cotton twine, and felt endcaps stuffed with fine-grind organic catnip. Babmoleos are the perfect size for chasing and carrying"


Designed and made by Gerda Lobo exclusively for Moderncat Studio.

The Atomic Flyer
Wait til you see me grab this! MOL!
Cody's reaction to this great toy
is priceless!

"Only for the coolest cats, these hip little toys will be a new favorite! Cut from thick 100% Merino wool, in vibrant non-toxic retro colors, each toy is the perfect size and shape for zipping across the floor. Merino wool is an eco-friendly, all natural, renewable material that appeals to cats"


Designed and made by Kate Benjamin.

Jingle Jute Bomb!
Is 'da BOMB!!


"If your kitty prefers a little jingle with his jostle, then our new Jingle Jute Bombs are just for him! We took our popular Jute Bomb and added a little silver bell inside so when kitty shoots this toy across the floor it's extra fun.

Just like our regular Jute Bombs, these little textured treats will have kitty leaping and pouncing all over the place. The kitty-sized spheres are the perfect size for tossing and carrying around."

Designed and made by Kate Benjamin.

Lynks Felted Wool Cat Toys


"Lynks felted wool cat toys are a favorite with finicky felines. Crocheted from 100% Peruvian Highland wool and felted several times to get the perfect texture that kitties love. The ideal size and shape for carrying and batting around, we guarantee that these toys will mysteriously appear in different places every time you turn your head. Choose from a variety of rich color combos. The best thing about these cat toys: they don't hurt when you step on them in the middle of the night!"

Machine washable in cold water, tumble dry.


Designed and made by Gerda Lobo 

Felt Roller


"Perfect for chasing, pouncing, and flinging, these hip little kitty toys will please both you and your cat. Made simply with sewn felt, each sphere measures 2 inches in diameter and comes in a cool two-tone color combo."


Designed and handmade by Kate Benjamin.

I am so tired from playing with
all of these great toys
I think I need a nap
See my Lynk Cat toy
that is going to take a nap with me?

I brought my felt roller
with me to take a nap too!

Please be sure to visit the Moderncat Studio Etsy Shop. Each month a different cat related charity is selected to receive 5% of the total sales for that month.

That's kitty toys for a good cause!

Thank you Kate for allowing Mom and I to have such a fun playtime together!! Dakota was at the groomer so we had the living room all to ourselves to enjoy Kate's toys!

You can see that I loved these toys and now that the camera isn't "rolling" I can play with them with complete and total abandon!
