Received a great guest post from Becky and wanted to share! Enjoy! If you are a cat owner, you can go green to help protect the environment and do your part at making a difference. Going green can help to reduce pollution, improve air quality, and even help you to save money on your bills. [...]

I always find that the new year is the perfect time for reflection and new beginnings. In fact, it was on New Year’s Day 2009 that I decided to make a gift to the planet by challenging myself to find one new way each day for 30 days to make my cat’s lifestyle just a [...]

Recycle, reduce and reuse are the buzzwords for the mainstream environmental movement.  People definitely have gotten the recycle aspect down.  Reusing is starting to pick up steam too.  But, what about REDUCE?  For years, it seemed this humble verb was reduced to being a mere sidekick to the sexier “recycle”.  It took a global recession [...]

If cat dandruff or cat dander is an issue in your household, especially with the drier winter weather, you might be interested in this article I found on “3 Easy Ways to Cure Cat Dandruff at Home”.  Furball is a black cat and he does get a little cat dandruff (or is it dander???) every [...]

Just what on earth is an Amazing Treat Machine Roller, you may ask? Well, it’s an interactive cat toy that automatically rewards your cat with treats or the smell of catnip. This cat toy is also eco-friendly. It’s made from cardboard that contains 30% post-consumer recycled content, comes with an organic catnip “teabag” and once [...]

Admittedly since the arrival of the baby, poor spoiled Furball has been relegated to the status of cat in the household.  No longer is he the only child, pampered and petted with all of his idiosyncracies embraced wholeheartedly (eg. whining for 2 hours in the morning beginning at 6am).  Perhaps your feline companion has not [...]

I came across a great gift idea for [...]

I’ve got some exciting news.  Yours truly was invited to write for Catster.com.  I wrote five eco-friendly cat tips for Catster’s Cat Tip of the Day.  Check it out at http://blogs.catster.com/cat_tip_of_the_day for the week of November 22nd. I’m also working on some great green articles to debut in Catster’s Cats 101 resource section.  I’ll keep [...]

Do you ever find yourself taking the plastic bag at the grocery store simply because you need it for garbage? I’ve done this myself a few times. I’ll bring my reusable tote to the store, but before I can whip it out, the cashier has already stuffed my purchase into a bag and handed it [...]

Furball and I are lucky to live in an area where we literally have at least a dozen choices of eco-friendly litter available to us at the local pet stores.  If you don’t have this assortment available to you, it might be worthwhile to consider online options.  As with most decisions, nothing is black and [...]
