The Cat's Trapeze- A Swinging Good Time
Cats tend to find ways to amuse and entertain themselves in the most unthinkable places throughout the house. What owner has not found their cat buried in the Christmas tree or tripped over him or her in the back of the closet? Sometimes cats add entertainment value to the most obvious of places- like when they climb your living room curtains for instance. Of course, owners are less than amused at the claw marks left on their furniture and home decor. Owning a Cat Trapeze could help combat the problem. Hanging from the ceiling this three-story bed sways to and fro and gives cats the ability to climb curtain-like fabrics all day.

National First Aid Awareness Month

Did you know animals can be put in life threatening situations far more often than we'd expect- they can be hit by cars, ingest toxic substances, choke on toys. Even a fun experience like camping with your dog can become serious if the weather takes a nasty turn. That's why it's so important to be prepared to protect your pet. Serious medical problems always need the attention of a veterinarian, but having a few materials in the house to tide your pet over on the ride can make a big difference. Dr. House recommends your kit include:

Gauze

thermator

Bandage material to stop bleeding 

Latex gloves

Rubbing Alcohol

Towel

Muzzle
