This Sleek Table Is Hiding a Playground For Cats

Cats love climbing through cozy spaces. That’s why the CATable, a beautifully functional work surface with built in tunnels for burrowing, is so appealing to them. In the words of designer Ruan Hao, "It is a table for us, and a paradise for cats."

Sorry Cat Lovers, Cats Are an Invasive Species, Too

Sorry Cat Lovers, Cats Are an Invasive Species, Too

When we think of invasive species, we tend to think of the exotic: Burmese pythons, Asian carp, or any of the bizarre creatures terrorizing Florida. But the truth is, our beloved cats can also be bad news for other species.

Plush Kitten Bouquet Lets You Say It with Kitties

I am not a fan of Valentine’s Day. My wife always wants something expensive or changes her mind 57 times until I can’t remember what she wanted and I give up. I stopped buying flowers because the evil florists up the price of roses so much during the lead up to V-Day and the things will cut you with thorns and die in two days anyway.

I think I am going to go with the Plush Kitten Bouquet this year.

This is just about what it sounds like. You can give your lady nine plush kittens. Being plush they are much more docile than real kittens, which wouldn’t likely appreciate being mounted on sticks, or shipped via UPS for that matter.

The kitties can be removed from the sticks so you still have evidence six months down the road that you actually bought your girl a gift. The kitty bouquet is available now for $49.99(USD), which is cheaper than a dozen real roses in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.

Watch a cat do some awesome skateboard tricks

Watch a cat do some awesome skateboard tricks

Adorable. We’ve seen dogs ride skateboards before and though it’s extremely cute when they’re pawing the ground to lunge forward and crashing into walls, they’re not really busting tricks with the board. This cat though? It does its feline version of ollies and skateboard grinds.

An adorable lion cub waves hi to a GoPro camera

Well, it looks like a hi and then it winds into a gentle smack. But still, the lion cub who stumbled upon this GoPro camera is just so adorable that I wouldn’t mind getting pawed around by the little prince of the jungle.

These Cat’s Pajamas Are the Bees Knees

For obvious reasons, cats and dogs don’t need to wear clothing like humans do. But a lot of pet owners humanize their pets and treat them like they would treat their own kids. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but sometimes it’s not good either (like feeding pets human food that might be too fatty for their systems.) But something that’s not likely to cause more harm to your pet is pet clothing.

As long as the clothes are not uncomfortable and overly thick that your pet will overheat in them, then I don’t see why not. You probably won’t be able to keep them on your pets that long though, because they’ll probably try to squirm their way out of their unnecessary outfit.

One such article of pet clothing is the Cat’s Pajamas. The bright red, one-piece suit will fit snugly over your entire feline and annoy him or her to bits and pieces. I’d be surprised if you don’t get a couple of scratches in the process of putting them on. Make sure you snap a lot of pictures while they’re on, because I doubt your cat will want to wear them ever again.

The Cat’s Pajamas available from Perpetual Kid for $24.99(USD).
