An sweet homeless outside kitty has picked my house as his outdoor home.  So of course I had to get him a safe, cozy spot to sleep and relax! Update! He loves this! It took him a minute to get used to it but I would just put treats in it every day to get him used to going in there and the first couple of days I kept both s... He snuggles in there when it is cold out!!

I will never go back to plastic! This is a great choice if you want something that doesn't hold odor, easy to clean and large.  I used to have stuff stuck to the plastic one all the time.  With this one, everything slides right off!

My indoor cats get BORED! This entertains them for awhile. I have to change it up, not use it everyday so when I do bring it out they LOVE it!

This is for my outdoor Kitty (Leo) and I LOVE it!! Once you set it up it is really easy - you can auto feed and manually feed.  There is a pet detection camera, so it can alert you when they come to eat. there is also a Live View so you can check in at any time.  Saves the pictures.  Keeps track of how much food has been given. It just gives me such peace of mind he is getting a consistent meal!!

My husband is allergic and I have used this cat food since we got both of our cats.  I do think it helps quite a bit.  I mix it with another cat food so they get a variety, but majority of their food is this one!

I am buying this for my outdoor kitty (Leo).  Not sure how it will hold up but going to try it out and will update later. Cat nip, putting food in it to help Leo get used to it.  I also rub a sock to pet him and then place that in there as well.

It says it is for dogs, but I use it for my indoor cats.  When we go out of town, I throw them treats and talk to them :-).  I would use it when I was home randomly so they wouldn't be scared of it and know what it does before going on any trips.  Sometimes my cat will walk up to it and start meowing because he knows there are treats in there.  I use the Wilderness Soft Treats in it.  You may just want to test it out with the treats you use to make sure it works properly.  But this camera is worth every penny for me!

I have this camera in my office - it is where the two cats like to sleep.  I like to use this when I am out of town or gone from the house for long periods, just to make sure they are ok!

I use this for my cats water bowls.  Prior to this mat, they were always getting water on the floor. I bought this and it works great! I got the 18x12 size and it fits two water bowls. Easy to clean!

Update: No idea if it is working for fleas, I assume so (no fleas), but the cats LOVE them.  I feel like I have noticed a difference in their coat as well.  I am going to try these and will update after using for a few weeks. I ordered Revolution for my outdoor cat, but it won't be here for at least 10 days.  So I decided to go ahead and order these for all the cats (indoor and Leo (outdoor)) in the meantime to start some kind of treatment!
