Product Review

SUMMER’S MUST HAVE FOR YOUR PET

Review: Cooling Thermochromic Tech Pet Mat by Rywell

Disclaimer: Kitties Blue received one Rywell Cooling Thermochromic Tech Pet Mat free of charge in exchange for our fair and honest review. I received no additional remuneration.

The weather in the Northern Hemisphere has been almost unbearably hot this summer. If you are uncomfortable, just think how your furry housemate feels.

I am quite familiar with warming pads/mats for pets. In fact, Kitties Blue have several. I had never heard of cooling mats, however, until I was contacted by Rywell. They offered Kitties Blue the opportunity to try their Cooling Thermochromic Tech Pet Mat, which sounded like a great idea to me.

They gave me the choice of which size mat I wanted (S to XXL). I selected the medium (30″L x 20″W x 0.6″Th), as I knew it would be large enough even for 20-pound Cooper Murphy. (See the bottom of this post for all size dimensions.)

I originally had planned to use the mat on the catio. Even though it is under roof and equipped with two ceiling fans, it gets extremely toasty there. Unfortunately, we started having some rain almost every day along with some severe storms. With all sides being comprised of screen, the tiniest amount of wind causes the catio to get very wet.  Consequently, I moved the mat to the bedroom, so the kitties would have help cooling off after coming inside.

Cooper Murphy and Gibbs were the first to try it and use it most often.

Mat Composition

With the same Arc-Chill 3.0 surface used in cooling blankets for humans, the surface immediately starts cooling on contact, which I can affirm. The mats top is a soft, quilted surface consisting of 65 percent Arc-Chill nylon fabric and 35 percent polyester with 0ne-way moisture wicking. The strong non-slip, polyester bottom is waterproof. The non-slip surface keeps it from sliding on rugs and carpet, tile and wood floors and car seats. The mat also is perfect for kennels or pet carriers as it has 180g of a soft, cloud-like polyester fill. 

Harmful & Chemical Substance Free

Most importantly, the mat is, OEKO-TEX certified. According to Wikipedia, OEKO-TEX is a globally recognized certification system managed by the International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile and Leather Ecology. It verifies that products, from raw materials to finished goods are produced under safe, environmentally responsible conditions and free from harmful chemicals and substances. This guarantees the mats safe for human use as well as for our pets.

Before reviewing I wanted to check the claim that the mat is fully machine washable. I wash everything in cold water and did the same for the mat. It recommends drying on a cool setting, which I also did. It came out looking just as good as when it arrived and works just as well.

In Conclusion

The Rywell Cooling Pet Mat is perfect for your feline, dog, rabbit, guinea pig or maybe even yourself. (I have been tempted on several occasions to steal it away for myself.) It offers an excellent cool down after time spent on the catio or a walk, in a sunpuddle, a vigorous play session or just a case of the zoomies.

I am extremely happy with this product as are Kitties Blue. We all recommend it and thank Rywell for the opportunity to try it.

BEST CAT TOY FOR ALL AGES

Caroline’s Cats Electric Rotating Butterfly Cat Toy

Disclaimer: Kitties Blue received one blue Caroline’s Cats Electric Rotating Butterfly cat toy free of charge in exchange for our fair and honest review. I received no additional renumeration.

A torbie cat playing with Caroline's Cats Butterfly toy.If you ask Kitties Blue, this is the best cat toy ever invented. And I agree. However, I do have one small complaint. It only runs for five minutes then cuts off to save battery life. Unfortunately, Kitties Blue expect me to continue to get out of my chair to turn it on over and over again.

Set Up

The toy is easy and quick to set up. It comes in three pieces: the track base, which contains a catnip ball and a jingle ball, the electronic center where the batteries are installed and the colorful butterfly with streamers on a flexible wire, which snaps onto the top.

It requires three AA batteries, which are not included, but the toy does come with the tiny screwdriver needed to open the battery compartment. An additional wire with butterfly also is included.

The Rotating Butterfly toy is constructed of a durable hard plastic. It comes in three colors, blue, yellow and green. It is available on the Caroline’s Cats website through Shopify as well as at Amazon. A set of three additional butterfly attachments are also available for purchase on both sites.

Play Time

I knew Audrey would love the Butterfly toy, as all interactive toys, television and games for cats on the iPad mesmerize her. And, I was right. She is the first to start playing when I turn it on and definitely the most adept at smacking the butterfly as it flies past her. If you remember playing tether ball as a kid, the Kitties Blue crew remind me of doing so, as they bat the colorful butterfly back and forth between them.

Click on the links below to watch some videos.

IMG_7621

Kitties Blue range in age from two to 13 years, and six of the eight are enjoying the toy. Our two resident, anti-social, couch potatoes, Lisbeth and Calista Jo, have not tried it.

Even Sawyer has been participating in the play sessions. This surprised me as he is afraid of anything that moves suddenly or makes an unexpected sound. You can hear the whirring noise from the butterfly if you turn the sound up on the videos. It is not very loud and does not seem to bother him.

When Raleigh decides to join in, I am unable to turn the toy back on when it shuts off, as that causes him to run away. However, he does not seem to mind. He is totally happy batting the catnip and jingle balls around the base track.

So, Caroline’s Cats Butterfly toy is actually two toys in one, with the rotating butterfly as well as the track balls.

In Conclusion

Kitties Blue and I recommend this toy. The six who have played with it each give Caroline’s Cats Butterfly toy four paws up. I give it five stars. When I need to purchase a gift for the cats of friends, this will definitely be at the top of my list.

YAHEETECH CAT TREE REVIEW & DISCOUNT CODE

Yaheetech Cat Tree Review

Have you been searching for the perfect present for that special kitty on your gift list? Have you considered a new cat tree? Even if you haven’t, we know your cat or cats, as in our case, would be delighted to get one. With this in mind, Kitties Blue suggest and recommend you check out the ones from Yaheetech.

They have 11 different styles on their web-site, ranging in height from 36 to 79 inches and with a variety of configurations and colors. We were allowed to select which one we wanted to try out for our review and selected the 57-inch multi-level cat tree for medium to large cats in dark gray, to match the decor of our bedroom, which is where the tree resides.

 

Lisbeth was the first to test out the Yaheetech cat tree.

Specifics of This Tree

This is the first tree we have had that is covered in a plush, velour-like fabric, instead of carpet. I had always shied away from these types of trees assuming the fabric would not be as durable or stand up to claws the way carpet does. I was wrong. It is extremely durable. I know the gang are enjoying the softer, snuggly feel as well.

This is an attractive tree with the cutest little cat ears on the pedestal beds. And it is very sturdy with solid construction and features a large baseboard. The tree also comes with a wall anchor strap to attach the cat tree to the wall for extra stability. Though, the tree is a favorite of our heavy-weights, Calista Jo and 20-pound Cooper Murphy; we have not needed to use this.

 

Cooper Murphy demonstrates the sturdiness of the Yaheetech cat tree.

 

Along with the two bed-type perches, there are two cubbies/condos, (one small round and one large rectangle) a hammock, a rope toy, six sisal scratching posts, which are used daily by our gang, and two ball toys on elastic cords. On every other cat tree I have purchased, the toys have been stapled to the tree and have been pulled off within a day. I am impressed to see that the elastic cord on the Yaheetech tree is tied to a screw eye. Calista Jo pulled one of the balls off the first day. I retied it a bit more securely; it has remained in place, and she has played with it quite vigorously, as she demonstrates in these photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the things that concerned me about this tree was the hammock at the bottom. I believe it would be a tight fit for most of my gang, and none have yet to try it. However, I believe it would be perfect for a kitten or small cat, like our Sawyer, Astrid or Misty May.

 

In conclusion, I give this cat tree five stars and the Kitties Blue each give it four paws up. I definitely will order a Yaheetech cat tree when Kitties Blue are in need of one to replace one of our older cat trees.

Trees range in price from $59.99 to $99.99 and can be purchased on the Yaheetech web-site. Visit Yaheetech here for a complete description and all the specifics about each available cat tree.

Discount Code

Yaheetech cat trees are available from other on-line retailers, but Yaheetech is offering a discount if you order from their site. Yaheetech has a 25 percent off discount code for our readers. It is good for any product on their web-site, which includes much more than cat trees and pet-centric items. The code is Janet25.

Disclaimer: Kitties Blue received our Yaheetech cat tree free of charge in exchange for our fair and honest review, and we thank them for this great product!

 

PETLIBRO WATER FOUNTAIN REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

Petlibro Automatic Pet Water Fountain

As pet parents we know how important it is for our furry friends to stay hydrated. Fresh, clean water is always the best. This is one reason your pet drinks from the toilet if you don’t keep the lid down. And this a good reason to provide your pet with filtered, fresh water from a fountain, such as the Petlibro Automatic Pet Water Fountain.

Kitties Blue have been getting their water from fountains for several years now. We have three different types. Regardless, Calista Jo was not a fountain drinker. I had to keep a water bowl for her in the kitchen, which I was always tripping over and spilling.

When I was contacted by Petlibro to test their new fountain, I happily agreed, hoping C.J. would give it a try and like it. And she did and does! I had hoped to get a photo of her using it, but I never had my phone or iPad on me when I saw her drinking. So, I have included a photo of Cooper Murphy.

 

Petlibro Automatic Pet Water Fountain

Note: The mat under our fountain does not come with the product.

Fountain Specs

Petlibro has a popular, compact, round design seen in a variety of fountains, but that is where the similarities end. Rather than having a center flower fixture delivering water in a falling direction, water bubbles up from the center.

The filtration system on the fountain is more elaborate than the usual. Each filter is composed of a cotton layer, activated carbon and an ion exchange resin. It can effectively remove hair, debris, sand, rust and heavy metals and improve the water’s taste. Your pet can drink fresh, clean water all day, which helps to increase water consumption and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. And depending on the number of pets using the fountain, the filter can be used for one to two months before requiring replacement. Replacement filters are available in packs of four.

The fountain holds 74 ounces of water. Petlibro suggests using purified water in the fountain. We have a whole house filter on our water system, which is equivalent to using purified water.

I am conscientious about watching the water levels in our fountains, but I particularly like that this Petlibro fountain has an auto off function when the water level gets too low. This prevents the pump from running dry and burning out.

Excellent instructions for assembly and troubleshooting are included with the fountain, and it comes with a one-year warranty and life-time support.

Our Opinion

I am pleased with the design and function of this fountain, but best of all, Kitties Blue like it and are using it! Win for the pet parent and win for the pets. Both Kitties Blue and I recommend the Petlibro Automatic Pet Water Fountain. To learn more about this fountain or to purchase one, visit Petlibro’s web-site.

Giveaway

Petlibro kindly provided me with a second fountain. We’ll be giving it away through a random drawing from among those commenting on this post. Leave your comment here no later than Saturday, October 13, at 5 pm ET. Kitties Blue will announce the winner on our Sunday Selfies blog post.

Disclaimer: Kitties Blue received our Petlibro Automatic Pet Water Fountain (and one to give away) free of charge in exchange for our honest review. Opinions expressed here are ours alone. 

 

SAWYER’S “SELFIE” FROM COLLAGE.COM

Sunday Selfies: Week #261

Do you remember this photo of me in the sphere from March?

 

Sunday Selfies

 

If you don’t, that’s okay. I am back with a version of that same photo again today.

 

Sunday Selfies

 

Don’t I look as if I could jump right off the screen into your lap?

Mom called this a selfie of a selfie as it is a photograph of my photo on an 11 x 14″ wrapped canvas from Collage.com.

When Mom received our canvas, she was stunned by the high quality of the photo in such a large format.

Jake from Collage.com contacted Mom and asked if she’d like to try one of their products and review it on the blog. Of course, she said, “yes.” As the name of the web-site suggests, she could have selected to make a collage featuring some or all of us, and she did tinker with creating one. She, however, was never satisfied with her design. When she decided to create a canvas with just one of us, she wasn’t certain which of us to feature. Finally, knowing I am not expected to have a long life, she knew the portrait had to be me.

My new portrait is in the new bedroom, and it is the first thing Mom and Dad see in the morning and the last thing at night.

I’m going to let Mom finish this post.

Purrs and paw-pats, Sawyer

Thanks, little buddy!

The items available at Collage.com are too numerous to mention. In addition to canvases, they have photo books, blankets, mugs, phone cases, mousepads, ornaments and much more.

What to Expect When Selecting a Canvas

    • Fine‑grained, museum‑quality canvases made to last with UV fade-resistant printing and a scratch-resistant clear coating
    • Soft matte surface with no-glare finish to reduce reflection and depth to your collage
    • Ready-to hang
    • The option of adding 1 to 20 photos
    • Tightly wrapped canvas on a 1.25″ thick internal frame with no staples, ensuring the collage never stretches or bulges
    • Printed in the USA

The site was very easy to use and warns if the photo you are working with is not of good quality. The most difficult and time consuming for me was finding a photo that could be enlarged to the 11 x 14″ format I wanted. And that is the fault of my photo-taking abilities, not the site. All of the options below are available when creating your canvas and many of the other products.

 

Collage.com currently is having a 60 percent off sale. To go there now, click on the link above. I intend to return soon to order birthday cards with Mau and Cooper’s photos for the monthly Cat Scout Service Project.

I have ordered canvas prints previously from anther company. Those from Collage.com are far superior. I recommend their product and know you will be 100 percent happy if ordering from them. And with it already being mid-August, it definitely is not too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts.

Sawyer and I hope you don’t mind our including this review as part of our Sunday Selfies post. We wanted as many of our friends as possible to see the review, and this is our highest traffic day.

BE THE ENVY OF EVERYONE YOU MEET

Wherever you go—the grocery store, gym, dog park or just for a walk round the block—you’ll knock the boring, old socks off everyone you meet. The newest, must have accessory for every animal lover is now available from Socksery. Select a favorite, high quality photo of your fur baby, e-mail it to Socksery, and in just a few days you can be dancing around in socks similar to these.

 

My Cooper Murphy purple socks

 

These custom socks are woven from a blend of high performance polyester and nylon yarn to meet the toughest demands of professional athletes. They are soft and comfortable with a smooth surface and a good amount of stretch. Socks are available in small, medium and large. You can find a chart on the Socksery web-site to guide you in selecting the correct size.

Not a pet owner? No problem. Socksery has a variety of designs for humans and also special occasions: Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, Halloween and the Fourth of July. To include one additional face is $6.00 extra and two additional faces are $12.00. If you have three pets or three children, you can include all of them on one pair of custom socks.

Socksery offers a variety of colors: purple, green, blue, orange, pink, red, yellow and light blue. Kitties Blue could each be featured on a different color! Cooper’s photo is on the purple.

I am particularly pleased with the printing of Cooper Murphy’s image. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the image on the socks and the photo I provided. I’d recognize that handsome face anywhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see the socks also have cute designs.

I am thinking these would make a great gift for grandparents. They wouldn’t even have to pull out their wallets to show pictures of their grandkids. Honestly, they’d be a great gift for anyone.

One pair of Socksery socks regularly sells for $34.99, but they are currently on sale for $24.99 with an additional 10 percent off using the promotional code on he Socksery website. But Kitties Blue can offer you an even better price. Use the code, SOCKS20, at check-out to receive an additional 20 percent off.

The timeline for receiving your socks as stated on the web-site is up to 5 business days to prepare and dispatch the order and 3 to 5 business days with standard shipping ($2.99) for receipt of your item. I received my Cooper Murphy socks four days after sending in his photo.

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and you have plenty of time to order and surprise Dad with a great pair of custom socks instead of another boring tie.

I love my Cooper Murphy socks, and I know you will be happy with any purchase you make from Socksery.

SMILING PAWS PETS WILL HAVE YOU SMILING

First Class Accommodations

Even if you are forced to travel in economy, your pet can now claim a seat in this “first class” Pet Carrier/ Collapsible Kennel from Smiling Paws Pets. The soft-sided, expandable carrier, available from Amazon, is designed to be in compliance with all TSA and IATA requirements. It is sized for under-seat, in-cabin dimensions for soft-sided carriers. Dimensions are 17 x 11 x 9 inches when not expanded.

The carrier can be expanded on four sides to give your pet room to turn and change positions. Expanded size is 34 x 25 x 9 inches. Maximum pet weight is 15 pounds.

 

Smiling Paws Pets PTU

 

The Smiling Paws Pets carrier includes a sturdy reinforced metal frame, A Grade metallic clips, safety self-locking zippers, a sleeve for to accommodate luggage handles or a seat belt and a zippered storage pocket. An attached interior leash can be clipped to your pets collar, allowing you to open the carrier to check on your pet or provide food, treats or water without your pet escaping.

Also included are a padded shoulder strap and handles and an interior removable, faux-sherpa-topped, washable pad. As Sawyer has earned the title of PTU Pooper, this is an important feature for us. And the interior fabric is laminated & leak-proof.

My Favorite Features

  • The carrier folds nearly flat and comes with its own compact, zippered pouch, making storage easy. 
  • The mesh areas are not so tightly woven that your pet is unable to see out.
  • The carrier has a top entry with a zipper on each side attached to a single pull cord. This allows you to close the entire top quickly without giving your pet the opportunity to try to escape.

This PTU is intended for cats, puppies and other small pets. If necessary, I could fit two of the smaller Kitties Blue (Misty May, Astrid, Sawyer) together; though, I would never do this due to their incompatibility.  I don’t believe the larger of our cats, Cooper Murphy, Calista Jo and Lisbeth, would be comfortable without all four sides open.

Misty May and Sawyer demonstrate with just the ends open.

 

Smiling Paws Pets - MM

 

I am delighted to add this PTU to our collection and recommend it to anyone needing a new or replacement carrier.

Smiling Paws Pets has a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

AMAZE & ENTERTAIN YOUR CAT WITH CATAMAZING

CatAmazing Product Review

I had planned this review for last Tuesday. Please accept Kitties Blue and my apologies if you stopped in just to find it wasn’t here.

CatAmazingLike all cat parents, I know the value of a cardboard box. Cats prefer them over the most expensive toys and beds. Throw in a few treats, and you have a winning combination. And that is exactly what you and your cats get with CatAmazing.

Cats are hunters and enjoy puzzles, not to mention treats. If your cats are anything like Kitties Blue, they will immediately fall in love with CatAmazing. The moment I completed the easy assembly and added some treats, they (especially Sawyer) were all over it.

CatAmazing is the ingenious creation of Mooky. Who better to create a cat toy than a cat? And who better to test it than another cat. Tester, Zeke, is a professional shredder with seven years experience. He leads the Quality Assurance Department at CatAmazing. Supposedly, if something survives Zeke, it will survive anything. This might be true in Mooky and Zeke’s household, but with eight cats, and one of those being Sawyer, our CatAmazing has not faired so well.

Our CatAmazing recently was retired to the recycling bin after two months of daily use. It was peed on three times by cats trying to claim sole ownership, the insides were badly shredded by sharp claws and the top holes torn. I have ordered a new one from Amazon. I have no intention of being without the best cat entertainment product we’ve ever encountered.

 

Sawyer staking his claim when the CatAmazing was still intact.

 

Sawyer believed the CatAmazing was his personal property; though, he did allow the others to join him occasionally in seeking treats. He quickly learned how to put his head in one hole and his paw in another to turn it over, causing all the treats to fall out in the process. For me, the largest round hole (which is big enough for the head of a kitten or small cat) is the one design flaw. I did pass this information on to Mooky’s team. Supervision is recommended, especially for younger cats.

Kitties Blue are completely impressed with and have spent hours occupied by the CatAmazing. And Dad Tom and I are delighted that they can happily play and enjoy a product that requires no complicated assembly or batteries. We recommend this product to every cat and cat parent.

Disclaimer: We received our CatAmazing for free in exchange for our fair and honest review. The opinions expressed are solely mine and those of Kitties Blue.

TOESY TUESDAY GIVEAWAY

Cooper Murphy - Toesy Tuesday Giveaway

 

Cooper Murphy does have some pretty sweet toesies. But, sorry, we’re not giving those away. All 32 Kitties Blue toes will be remaining attached.

What we do have for you is the opportunity to win a pair of socks similar to those below.

 

 

Do you recognize that handsome face? That’s right, it’s Mauricio!

How would you like to see the face of your kitty on a pair of your very own socks? Of course, you would. If you are a multi-cat family, as we are, your biggest problem will be deciding which of your felines to feature. Dad Tom selected Mau, as his face is distinctive and recognizable.

These cool socks are the creation of a new company, Our Sock, which was started by a Duke University student and his brother. Our sock is a no-minimum sock shop where anyone can buy their own pair of custom socks.

The socks come in blue, as shown, or pink. A polyester blend, necessary for printing, is used for the body of the sock.  The toes, heels and cuffs are hand sewn from cotton for added durability and comfort. The custom cat socks are one-size-fits-most. They stretch enough to fit almost all adult sizes (men and women).

I am wearing my socks right now and can attest to the comfiness. I also find them to be very supportive.

Giveaway

Now for the best news: Our Sock has given Kitties Blue the opportunity to give away ten pairs of custom cat socks to the readers of The Cat on My Head. I will be giving away one pair per day beginning today and for the following nine days. For the opportunity to win a pair for yourself, just leave a comment on this post and the following nine posts. I will be selecting one winner each day using Random.org.

If you don’t win a pair, here’s the pricing information: One pair of socks is $24.99. Discounted pricing is available for large orders of custom cat socks. For two pairs of socks, the price is $22.50 per pair. (Use the discount code: KITTY2 at checkout.) For more than two pairs of socks, the price is just $17.50 per pair. (Use the promo code: KITTY3 during checkout).

Turnaround time is ten days, but my socks arrived more quickly.
