CAT-IT Keeps your cat hydrated!

Advantages: encourages your cat to drink lots of fresh water, important for their health
Disadvantages: apart from initial outlay, none!

...My apartment was hot enough for me, let alone my cat! Aiko is a two year old, rather naughty tortoiseshell cat who is very picky when it comes to food and water and just about anything! Being conscious about her health I had noticed that even in the hot weather when the apartment was in 30degree heat, she was hardly drinking any water, which could potentially lead to health problems for her and expensive vet trips for me! So I knew I had to do something about her water intake. After a trip to my local pets-at-home I returned with the Cat-it and wondered how she would take to it. What is it? Cat-it is quite simply a large water bowl with circulates the water, simulating the fresh flow of water in the wild, attracting cats to it. The reservoir holds one litre of water and has a carbon filter pad across the bottom of the reservoir just...

Review of CatIt Water Fountain

Well what can you say? It's cat litter!

Advantages: Easy to pour and clean. No dust cloud. Locks odours in really well! Cheaper than Catsan!
Disadvantages: Having to clean it after Aiko has finished!

...Aiko is a picky cat, but then what cat isn?t picky! She is as many of my friends would tell you a very demanding animal and if she isn?t happy she will let you know. I have used a variety of cat litters in the two years I have had her and nothing does come close to Sophisticat Anti-bac cat litter. Sophisticat is available in all major supermarkets and pet stores and has recently had a re-brand that clearly aims it at it?s main competitor which is market leading Catsan. Sophisticat costs only £3.20 for a 10L bag where as Catsan would cost about £5 for the same amount. So for the 35% saving what is the main difference? Sophisticat in it?s appearance is pretty similar to Catsan. The litter resembles small grey gravel pieces to absorb the water and waste, accompanied by small blue antibacterial granules to help minimize odours and keep...

Review of Sophisticat Antibacterial Cat litter

Well..my cat likes it!

Advantages: Good Quality
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive

...Here I am going to review Felix's Rabbit and game in gravy tinned cat food. As I return home from college my little cat Maisy greets me with a miaw. Clever cat ; she knows what time it is! Yes , of course , it's Kitty's Teatime. So , what's for kitty's tea tonight then ? oh looks like it's Felix's Rabbit and Game in Gravy. She hasn't tried this one before , so lets see what the verdict is. As I open the can I am greeted with a nice meaty smell and someone calling out that they are hungry. As I pour the contents into the bowl she begins eating it straight away. I guess that means it's tasty. Within seconds (literally!) the food in the bowl is gone and Kitty licks the bowl. * Felix * Felix is a brand of cat food. It is availble throughout Europe. * Tin * The tin is very attractive with the background being in blues...

Review of Felix Cat Food

Clever Cats

Advantages: Cute cover
Disadvantages: Rubbish contents

...This is the time of year when all of the tacky presents appear in the shops that the recipient will feign great appreciation for on Xmas morning and send to the charity shop in the new year. As well as tacky toys and gadgets the bookshelves are filled with all the latest z list celebrity biographies and other rubbish books that no sane person would surely buy for themselves. One of those books is called Test Your Cat; The Cat IQ Test which was gifted to me by a friend presumably after she had taken the 10 minutes to test her cat and thought giving it to me was a way of making room on her bookshelf for something better. The Cat IQ test is a small hardback book with an attractive picture of a cat on the front. The book is only 120 pages long, most of those pages contain a single question with room to record your response by ticking...

Review of Test Your Cat - E.M. Bard

Give your Cat it's own door key

Advantages: They can come and go as they please, unless you deem otherwise!
Disadvantages: Not much use if your cat refuses to wear a collar

...I got my first kitten in May 1997. Lovely fluffy black bundle of joy, with white socks, white bib, white cheeks and large voluptuous white whiskers. At the time I lived in a three storey maisonette without a garden. Normally I would not have got a cat without a garden but the plan was to move within six months or so, to a house with a garden. However, as such plans go, it turned into nearly two years by the time we eventually moved. So we now had a two and a half year old cat who rarely went out side other than if it was sunny and the front door was open and hubby was working on the car just outside. And it was a big scary world. And to top it off her inconsiderate owners moved somewhere strange and unfamiliar and to add insult to injury made her travel a whole half a mile in those big scary noisy things with wheels! So first...

Review of Petmate Electromagnetic Cat Flap

'Under the Paw'... it almost makes my two cats look normal!

Advantages: Easy read, charming, very funny, acutely observed
Disadvantages: A tad long, loses the humour a bit in non-cat moments

...What can I say about this one...? Well, if the title appeals to you, then the book probably will too, because it pretty much does what it says on the tin. In a nutshell, Cox discusses the perils of being one of the minority breed of Cat Men, and covers the span of his time as a cat lover, right from his earliest, little-mentioned childhood friends Puss and Felix. Most of the book, however, is dedicated to the cats gracing the prime of his life - beginning when he first meets Dee, his future wife and an unashamedly enthusiastic cat woman. And so The Bear comes into his life: a temperamental black cat who may or may not be concocting evil plots, and who has a liking for Indian food and defecating in Dee's dressing gown pocket. Add to that Janet, a huge black hairball with the IQ of a teaspoon and a startling talent for creative...

Review of Under the Paw: Confessions of a Cat Man - Tom Cox

Cat's Scary!

Advantages: looks cute
Disadvantages: retired

...'t fear Because Frightful the cat is here ! I wasn't too sure what to make of this poem at first. Though having read it a few times Ive grown to like it. I was hoping it was going to be a little more haunting. But either way it is quite delightful. Unfortunately, Frightful is now 'retired', which means the TY company have stopped manufacturing her. However never fear, if you are desparate to have her in your collection then it may still be possible to buy her. She can be found occasionally on auction sites such as eBay, or at car boot sales too. Though this does mean that a price is not guaranteed. Some will sell her cheaply since she is older now, but others will see her as an antique in the collection and price her highly. I would personally not pay more than £5 or £6 for her, unless of course she was one of the last few I needed. I had not...

Review of TY Frightful the Black Cat

'My cat' loves it.

Advantages: she eats the lot, economically priced
Disadvantages: none that I've found

...Being a bit strapped for cash a couple of weeks ago, I rather urgently needed some very reasonably priced cat food and spotted Morrisons own brand "My Cat" multipacks tucked away on the bottom supermarket shelf, beneath the more expensive brands. There were special, flashed packs, priced at £1.89 for six big (400g) tins instead of its usual £1.99. Individual tins were also available, but worked out a lot more expensive. There were several packs to choose from, but for our tabby it had to be 'in jelly'. Our ex-wild, ex-rescue cat just won't touch anything in gravy. Well she will, sort of, she licks off the gravy and leaves the meat sitting there until the flies come home. I checked the mainly mid blue plastic outer packaging and saw I could choose between 'My Cat' packs containing six meat varieties, four tins of meat and two...

Review of Morrisons My Cat

Evian for your cat !

Advantages: Constant fresh (filtered water) less time spent refilling)
Disadvantages: Have to spend to replace filters and runs on electricity

...I had always found it a pain having to constantly change my cat's water and clean out the bowls so when I discovered the Cat-it water dome that would stop me having to do this on a daily basis I was thrilled. Not only is this (apparently) good for your cat (they apparently drink more water when it is fresh which is good for the kidneys) but it is also half the price of other similar products such as the drink well fountains My biggest worry was that I was going to spend this money and the cats would be scared of it and never use it, however getting it home assembling it (which was a little tricky at first) then filling the thing up automatically had my cats sniffing about and although a little dubious at first they soon realised that this stuff was fresh a lot better than the stale bowls of water that they were used to and it is...

Review of CatIt Water Fountain

fun for cats

Advantages: cats love it
Disadvantages: need to buy filters

...I have had a cat it cats drinking fountain for nearly three years. It cost 19.99 back then. I'm not sure of its current price, but the replacement filters are 2.99 for three from our local garden centre. I have three cats all three love it, the ragdoll often dips his paws in the water bowl and plays with the running water, the other two like to drink the cool running water from the dome. The dome itself will hold about 2and a half pints of water so no chance of it running dry while you are out. The fountain does make a little whirring noise but its not very loud. As for cleaning i dont find it a problem I just unscrew the dome and wash it all in clean hot water, the filters need replacing every week. As my cats are long haired thety do clog the filter, it will last longer with short haired cats. I did find the fountain...
