Friday Find! For Love Of A DOG!

Hi everyone! It's Cody and YES you are at the right place! This IS Cat Chat and YES you read correctly, the title of this blog post is For Love Of A DOG!!

Before we get into that, I am writing today because Mom isn't feeling well. She thinks she is getting a cold and she  feels awful. She wanted me to tell you about something really cool that she bought and just didn't feel up to it, so me, being the helpful kitty that I am told her I would pick up her slack as I always do.

As everyone knows, Valentine's Day is right around the corner and Mom was reading the fabulous blog by Ingrid King,  The Conscious Cat, and noticed she had posted a blog about Valentine's Gifts For Cat Lovers.


Being the unoriginal person that she is, Mom decided to pilfer that idea (for those of you that may want to run over and tell Ingrid that Mom is stealing her ideas, HA!! She already told her!!! Gotta be up pretty early to stay a step ahead of US!! hehehe).

Mom found a fabulous website called For Love Of A Dog. Yes, DOG. Why are Mom and I featuring this website HERE? Good question, and OF COURSE, I HAVE THE ANSWER cause I know everything!

For Love Of A Dog has CAT ITEMS! Specifically CAT JEWELRY!!

From their website:

Our name may by For Love of a Dog, but we do offer cat jewelry.  In fact, we love cats and we're glad you do, too!   All of our handcrafted cat jewelry, including cat necklaces, cat bracelets, and cat earrings are listed here.  You'll find a wide variety of cat charms and cat pendants in our feline friendly jewelry.  We also offer hand stamped items like our "Cat Lady" bracelets that are sure to please any cat lover.  All of our cat lover jewelry is handmade by us and most is one of a kind. Purrfect feline gifts for cat lovers!

Check out what Mom ordered (yes, she BOUGHT these! and loved them soooo much that she wanted me to tell you about them!)

Mom and I aren't sure the photo is doing the earrings justice, but what Mom loved (among other things) was the "artsy" look of these earrings and that the kitty resembles a TABBY! Like me!!

When the earrings arrived, the first thing that blew Mom away was the painstaking care and attention to detail that was used for packing. Everything that Mom ordered the other items were all dog related so if you want to read about those you will have to read Dakota's blog on Monday cause I don't handle his PR, I'm too busy for that! came packaged in rich chocolate brown boxes accented with red and green and had bows on them. The presentation was just spectacular and the quality of the items were superb!!

Book Revew: I'd Rather Be A Cat, The Official "Better Than Dogs" Cat Book By Allia Zobel Nolan

Pssst....it's Cody!! Do I have your attention? Is your Mom or Dad reading this with you? If they are, please ask them to leave the room, I'll wait.

Are they gone? They are? GOOD!

You know my kitty friends, there is a holiday coming up on February 14th and it's called Valentine's Day! I know most of you know what this holiday is all about, but for the one or two of you who don't, you can read about it here.

Valentine's Day is a day when the humans like to show their love for each other. You know what that means? That means that for one day there is a chance albeit a SMALL CHANCE that their attention might be diverted from bestowing affection, treats and presents on us and instead, they will give them to the HUMAN object of their affection!

Kitties! We will have NONE of that!

To make matters even worse, those of you like myself who live with a doggy, are always in a constant battle for supremacy.  Mind you this competition is not of our own making, but those jumping, barking, drooling attention hogs known as dogs, force us into proving just who is a better companion for our humans. I know, I know, don't get your furballs all in a bunch! I KNOW as well as YOU DO that it is CATS! Sometimes our humans need a reminder though.

Well, HERE IT IS! The purrfect little present for Valentine's Day that kitties YOU can present to your HUMAN! like a DOG would EVER think of giving their human a present on Valentine's Day that wasn't covered in poop or drool! It's a  bible book for your humans, I'd Rather Be A Cat,  The Official "Better Than Dogs" Cat Book,  by Allia Zobel Nolan, written with the help of her three cats and cats from all over the world! This book will end the controversy once and for all as to WHO is better, and it will cease the time-wasting activity of the humans focusing on each other for Valentine's Day and put their focus  right back where it belongs, ON YOU! Sometimes ya just gotta mix a little dose of reality in with their hearts and flowers ya know? 

Here are a few kibble-sized pieces of the gems you will find in this pocket-sized book:

• A cat's breath doesn't smell like a mixture of a dumpster and an old locker
• Cats would never cling to a guest's leg, nor slobber all over them
• Cats wouldn't dream of rolling in the mud. Ewwww.
• Cats don't have self-esteem issues. They don't live for human's approval.
• Cats don't beg. It's not their style.

Kitties, you and I have known these points all along, but sometimes those less gifted in the cerebral department which translates to humans, need a reminder.  As Allia Zobel Nolan says, "I hate to put the kibosh on dogs, they do have some fine points. But, taken as a whole, cats just have more of them."

 "So, sorry Fido, there's just no contest-o. Cats have dogs licked, paws down."
