If you live in the city, you probably keep your cats indoors. I know my family has always worried that the cats would be hit by a car if we let them out. And if you live in a high-rise apartment, there’s really no chance to let them out.
But this can be a bummer for the kitties, since they don’t get to explore the world or even get any fresh air. Perhaps what we need to look into is something like this window-mounted cat veranda.
“Let your cat enjoy a luxurious day outside without leaving the house! Whether you live in a high-rise or make your home in the suburbs, your cat can now enjoy the fresh air in his very own outdoor sunroom!”
It looks pretty easy to install, and it’s non-permanent so you don’t have to worry about damaging your window.

If you’ve got a kitty who loves to climb (and what cat doesn’t?), then you may have a cat tree. (And if you don’t, your cat may be using your entertainment center, shelves, draperies, etc. for its own climbing tree!)
Such constructs are usually on the eye-sore side, and they take up often valuable floor space in the living room, rec room, etc. So if you have a climbing cat and are looking for a climb/scratch option that takes up less space and isn’t right out in the open, this door-hanging model might be just the thing.
“The Climber” can be attached to any door. Just make sure to open your doors slowly after installinig! We don’t want to send Spot flying when entering the house.

Posted in Dog leashes & collars at 6:03 pm by Pet Luxury
What can you make from the seatbelts scavenged from junked cars? All sorts of things apparently, including dog collars and leashes.
If you’re tired of snapping that little hook onto the little ring on your dog’s collar (a difficult task if you have a squirmy dog who is always excited to go on his walk), then the ease of the seatbelt clasping system may make your day. Just as you do when you’re in the car, you simply snap the belt into the receiver:
“The Buckle-Up Lead & Collar is a sustainable, satisfying and simple alternative to existing dog leads. Simply plug the buckle on the lead into the collar, and press the button to release. Together the lead and collar are produced from a single passenger’s seatbelt.”
I admit the seatbelt look isn’t going to be for every dog, but if you’re interested, you can find more information at the company’s site:

Posted in Dog beds & crates at 1:15 pm by Pet Luxury
As much as some owners tends to think otherwise, dogs are not people. So why should their dog beds mimick people beds? Why not create a nature-inspired “den” for them in your home?
“This Canine Fine Art Cave was named after Browning Passage, an inlet just off Tofino, B.C. where its arch was found. Once caught floating out to sea, it is now mated to a soft, brown Terrier-Rock cave similar in color to many rocks found along the passage. Majestic yet compact, this fine art cave was made for the canine companion who prefers an out-of-the-way spot to rest!
Once through the grand cathedral-like entry of the root, a quick turn to the right brings the new owner immediately into the spacious, cushion cavern in the rear of the cave. Here they can either curl up or stretch out in complete privacy. For those companions concerned about home security, a perimeter-sized cushion can be made to utilize the entire floor area allowing for a clear view of the room from inside the cave. Comes with its own Sidekick Rock.”
What a fun idea, though I don’t suppose this look would go with many people’s living room furniture… (I don’t know about you, but I don’t have roots in my couch!)
Still, the canine cave looks a lot more interesting than a crate or your average dog bed!
Of course, this kind of canine luxury comes at a price…
