The Lighter Side : Blog!

Here Kitty, Kitty

Last week we talked about great gifts for dog lovers. This week, I found some wonderful items for the cat lovers in your life. From goofy to sweet to useful, The Lighter Side has something for every feline and their human friends.

This Kitty Grass not only helps digestion, it makes a safe and fun alternative to houseplants and turf grass. Just put the seeds in the adorable mouse-shaped container, water and cover to germinate. It only takes a few days to grow a "sweet grass" treat for cats.

Cat lovers can keep warm this winter with our generously sized fleece throw featuring a portrait of seven lovely kitties. Soft and cuddly, this throw is machine washable, has sturdy stitched edges and is perfect for snuggling or for displaying over a chair or couch. For outdoor warmth, try our denim or woven jackets. The classic jean jacket buttons in the front and has an amazingly detailed embossed feline face across the back. It's made of easy-care 100% cotton and has two front and two side pockets--perfect for storing little bits of cat nip! Our woven cat jacket features original artwork by Jan Marie showing curious kitties frolicking in a summer garden on both front and back.

To help friends of felines show their seasonal spirit, we have this collection of six cat flags. Each brightly colored flag is made of durable polyester and has two loops for hanging. The set includes flags for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. And since most real cats won't sit still for playing dress-up, we have a ceramic figurine complete with four adorable seasonal outfits, including St. Patrick's Day, 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas. At least you know this cat won't kick, bite and scratch its way out of getting decked out for the holidays!

These two items are purr-fect for both home and office. Our ceramic stone sign reveals the "Cat's Motto: No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it." It's six inches wide and comes with a handy hanging cord. This cute clock is made of handpainted earthenware and is fully functional with a quartz mechanism. It's great for desk or nightstand, but it doesn't include an alarm. We can't put the morning mousers out of work, can we?

Know someone who loves their little tiger but hates the smelly litterbox? "Scoop No More" is a cat toilet training system that allows owners to teach their feline friends to use the bathroom like everyone else in the house. It works for all breeds and teaches owners how to train more than one cat in the household. Young or old, big or small, this easy-to-follow DVD reveals proven training techniques to train any cat in as little as eight weeks. It includes explanations of how to use inexpensive household items to aid in training as well as cat motivation and behavior correction techniques.

This series of blogs is all about matching a gift to the recipient's interests. That's what makes a gift personal and individual and it lets them know that you put some thought into choosing the perfect gift for their special occasion. Now that we've taken a trip through the animal kingdom with monkeys, dogs and cats, I think we can move on to less furry interests. Coming next week: "Are you ready for some football?"
