Best of the Catosphere!

Here is a mom that took our litter for the ultimate test drive! She and her cats loved it so much no brakes were necessary!

Here’s something nifty we spotted about our litter!

Consult with your veterinarian for the best way to control fleas for your cat and your environment. But the best way to control fleas is to prevent them. And the best way to prevent fleas is pure diligence:

• Vacuum carpets, rugs, drapes and upholstered furniture often
• Mow the lawn regularly; fleas and ticks love high grass
• Spend some quality time and groom your cat routinely
• And if you find fleas, give kitty a soapy bath (no matter how much she protests) and remove fleas with a fine-toothed metal comb

There is plenty of advice on the web about natural flea control—from serving your cat a bit of brewer’s yeast to making your own herbal flea collars … from scratch!

And certainly, there are many chemical solutions, such as pesticide-based flea collars. But we have to wonder about flea collars that include “NOT FOR USE ON HUMANS” warnings on the packaging, which is most of them. If they aren’t safe enough to wear as a “Live Flea Free” bracelet, are they really safe for our whiskered wee ones?

But maybe those warning are there simply because the thought of us wearing flea collars as bracelets offends our cats’ sense of feline fashion. After all, a tabby doesn’t look too shabby in a hat. … And we hear a cat’s pajamas are, well, the cat’s meow.

But before we slide into a whole new digression of cats in clothes, we’ll leave you with what may be the cutest thing you’ll see all day: kittens on a slide.

Meow for now,

With April Showers Come Bizarre Cat Power!
With April showers com bizarre cat powers! If you haven’t seen it by now, we are thrilled to introduce to you, “standing cat.” We aren’t sure of how many kitties can actually do this, so prepare to be dazzled and maybe slightly frazzled!

Gravity Cats
How do we follow up a video of a standing cat? Easy, by introducing you to a cat that lives on the ceiling … or a video that would make you believe such great powers are possible!

Humans, pets, plants and all walks of life are as different as the seasons. However, as unique and different as we all might be, we share one giant think in common-the planet! That said, wouldn’t it be a good idea for all of us to give a special thank you to the wonderful round ball beneath all of our feet?

We at World’s Best Cat Litter™ are pumped for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, 2010! In prep for this historic event, we wanted to share some fun ways to celebrate this special occasion! From clothing, to household products there are countless ways to lead a sustainable life in the twenty-first century. Here a just a few among many!

Toys:
There are many different products created and designed with the intentions of keeping your pets green! Here are a few of our favorite:

How many of your cat’s toys are actually “green” and earth-friendly? Maybe you should consider buying your cats a Chase The Hemp Cat Tail … for play time purposes of course!

Does your cat have an Itch? A bamboo square with Mohair green or brown, the perfectly green pet scratcher.

How about Wooly Dust Bunnies? These unique, organic dust bunnies are perfect for chasing!

Tips:
If you aren’t looking to spoil your pet with anymore organic or natural toys this time of year, there are tons of ways to make sure you and your pets stay eco-friendly!

1. Adopt. Sometimes pet ownership goes through cycles-it is always great when ownership gets recycled back to great and loving pet owners. Why spend the money and time buying a new pet when you can adopt one of the thousands of pets that will be living in shelters this year.

2. Clean up the mess. It is not the most glorious part of being a pet owner, but if you are going to do it right, make sure you pick up your pets waste. Use a biodegradable bag instead of plastic or create a compost pile if you can!

3. Pay attention to what you are feeding your pet! There are many 100% organic pet foods available these days, give them a try!

4. Lend a hand! Not just for Earth Day, but every day you should be looking to pick up rubbish those less considerate pollute the ground with. However, if the weather is nice this coming Earth Day, get outside, bring your pet and do a little cleaning up!

Finally, check out this list of the “Best Sustainable Items for Earth Day 40th Anniversary.”

You can’t take your cat out for a nice meal (at least not usually), so why not bring a nice meal home? And set these cool dishes out for them!

If a new dish isn’t your thing, you could always get a seasonal collar. It’s the cat equivalent of a pretty new necklace—a catcessory, if you will.

Or maybe this Purrfect Kitty Gift Tower is the way to your feline’s heart. It comes loaded with tons of things that are sure to make your cat purr—from gourmet treats to catnip to honey suckle toys!

Of course, Valentine’s Day isn’t just about your pet. So if you are also shopping for another feline fanatic or two, check out these cute socks with two cats in love.

We hope these ideas have helped and piqued your imagination for Valentine’s Day!

Love and purrs,
