Breakaway Cat Collars

While cats may not be as fond of their cute cat collar as you are it is important for them to wear it, and for safety sake it’s best if it is a breakaway cat collar. Because cats like to crawl into small spaces, climb trees, hide behind bushes or furniture they have a greater chance of getting caught on something. A breakaway cat collar allows the cat to get out of the collar if she is in a dangerous situation. This can save a cat from choking or becoming injured if she becomes stuck on something and can’t get free.

Before going out to buy a breakaway collar there are a few things you should consider.

Eco-Friendly Pet Collars

by Susie

More pet parents want to be more environmental in their purchases and the industry is responding with more choices in ecologically sound products like green pet collars. Green pet colors doesn’t necessarily refer to color, although it can. These pet collars simply made from things like recycled or sustainable products.

There are some really creative and innovative companies that are fulfilling a need and creating a business they feel passionate about. Some companies are recycling products like bicycle tires and making them into pet collars. Other companies are using sustainable products like hemp and organic cotton to make soft but very durable pet collars and leashes.

Reunited – A Happy Ending And A Good Lesson

by Susie

I read an article that serves as a perfect example of why it’s so important to have pet identification tags on your pet at all times. This story is also a good reminder of the positive effects of helping our fellow beings, whether they’re human or furry.

A guy noticed an unfamiliar cat in his back yard so he went out to check on her. The cat was friendly and seemed excited to get the attention. She looked very thin so the guy gave her food and water, which she quickly devoured. It was obvious that she had been lost for a while.

Facts About Cat Urine

Having a better understanding of something, no matter how unpleasant it may be, can help you better handle it. Understanding how to remove cat urine may hot be the most fun topic, but unfortunately it may be an important topic to understand if you have one or more kitties in your household.

Cat urine is the liquid waste that is produced during the metabolic process and excreted by the kidneys. Cat urine is generally amber in color, which creates the stain, and as you probably know from experience has a strong odor that is difficult to get rid of.

Retractable Leashes

by Susie

Retractable leashes are very popular for dogs, but if you leash trained your cat you may even consider a retractable leash for her. While not a lot of cats are leash trained I feel like I’ve seen more cats walking on leashes these days. We have a neighbor who regularly walks her cat and believe it or not it actually looks pretty natural. She uses a retractable leash and it seems to work really well for them.

A retractable leash can give your pet a feeling of freedom, at least more than regular leashes, while keeping you in control and keeping your pet from darting into harm’s way.
