The kind folks over at Cafe Press were in touch a few months ago to offer me an organic t-shirt and baby T (not a baby doll T, a T for a baby!). In case you’re not familiar with Cafe Press, they’re an online site that enables you to create your own personalized gifts [...]

I just got a coupon code from the Only Natural Pet Store to save 10% off all eco-friendly products during March.  Thought I’d share this coupon code with you.  I signed up as an affiliate with the Only Natural Pet Store so if you would be so kind as to use the link below, I [...]

Way, way, way back, I contacted PetSmart to ask what they were doing to be more eco-friendly.  A month went by and I never heard from them, so I started up a petition on Care2.com.  Miraculously, after weeks of no response, within a day of setting up the petition, I heard back from “csDoNotReply@ssg.petsmart.com”.  That [...]

I have contacted PetSmart twice to ask what they were doing to be more eco-friendly.  A month later, I’m still waiting for an answer. The first time, I called their 1-800 number and asked if their house brand, Exquisicat, was going to start making litter boxes from recycled recycled plastic since Petmate already does [...]

Reiki for cats, quantum energy for cats, herbs for cats, cat massage, cat acupuncture… These days, cats have many of the same alternative healing therapies available to them as their human companions.  However, many people are suspicious and skeptical of non-traditional healing methods even for humans, let alone for cats.  This is unfortunate because people [...]

Admittedly, I’m still rather unnerved about what I learned on Day 10 of the 30-Day Green Cat Challenge.  Here I was happily buying Greenies and feeding them to my cat thinking that I was supporting a smaller company, and with that, came a sense of implied trust.  I was SHOCKED to learn that this product [...]

On Day 16 of the 30-Day Green Cat Challenge, I wrote about encouraging the pet cataloguer, Drs. Foster and Smith, to go green.  I had just received one of their catalogues and was not impressed that they had very few  eco-friendly products (about 3) in a catalogue of 76 pages.  So, I drafted an email [...]

There’s been an update to this post, please see Day 18 of the 30-Day Green Cat Challenge.

Junk mail seems to never stop. As soon as a catalogue arrives, I set it by the phone to call the 1-800 number to request that my name is removed from their mailing list. The other day, [...]

If you read Day 13 of the 30-Day Green Cat Challenge, you’ll know that after spending about an hour looking for online pet stores devoted to selling eco-friendly cat products, I didn’t find too many options. I couldn’t find a single store that was exclusively for cats, featured only green, natural or sustainable products [...]

I’ve never actually looked around the Internet to look for online stores that specialize in natural and eco-friendly cat products and supplies. It seems like a fun thing to do for today and I might see a great product or be inspired to come up with a homemade version. So, my main [...]
