For cat owners: Automatic litter-box cleaners!

My product rave of the summer has got to be my brand-new electric litter box cleaner for cats. I'm not so good at housework and even though I do my best to clean after the kitties, I'll be the first to admit that I don't do it enough. It's not fair to anyone; my cats, my boyfriend or myself.
At first I was hesitant to purchase it, because it is rather expensive and I don't know enough people who've had experiences with them in any capacity, other than one person who said all things great, so it is with great fanfare that I recommend
the Littermaid Elite Mega. I must say that my life has improved dramatically since. I eased my cats into it, first leaving both litter boxes side by side, and then sprinkling some of the old litter into the new litter box. Eventually, after about two days, the cats were using it and I was able to remove the old box. Hurray!
The machine is a little loud at first, but after a while you get used to it. My cats think it is a hoot. Both run and stare in awe at this magical rake that leaves their litter box clean, every time. I caught my calico frustratingly tugging at one part trying desperately how to figure out how it works; she is so smart. Clean up is a snap; all I have to do is empty this little container every other day. There is absolutely no odor, the cats seem to love it, and most importantly it has greatly improved our life. So for all you curious cat owners out there...
Highly recommended!

reuses for ribbon

My friend gave me a birthday gift and said, "the ribbon is reusable." She needn't tell me, I stow away all kinds of unnecessary stuff. However, when I opened the door to my apartment, I knew the perfect reuse for my ribbon. There was my little pretty kitty, Phoebe ready to tackle that string, shred it to bits and play with that string until we both were exhausted~!

*note, ribbon isn't always good for cats to play with, it can cause blockages. Keep a close eye on your loved one or put it somewhere they can't reach unless you are around to watch!

Other reuses for ribbon:
wrap a gift
tie back your hair
tie back curtains
hang a charm around your neck or doorway
mend something broken, temporarily

You know it's Spring when...

You know it's Spring when....your cat finds that spot of sunshine that has been hiding for the last six months and just basks in the warmth of the light.

In Philly, you can tell that it is Spring because the pretzel man in back on Locust and Broad. Today, when it was blustery and cold, I really could have gone for a warm, toasty soft pretzel.

You know it's Spring when girls wear Uggs with skirts. Ugh!

Happy Spring! Joyeaux Printemps!
