Door Mats For Cats
Hey All! Just thought i’d stop in and post a cute little article I found about cat door mats. I laughed because not only do I have a cat door mat outside my porch(my apartment complex doesnt allow it on the front), but I also have one underneath my cats food dishes!
Everyone Loves Their Kitties
In the United States, and indeed in many parts of the world, there are few things that people fuss over as much as their beloved pets. The pet industry makes billions of dollars annually from people wanting the very best for their loving animals In the past few years there has been any increase in people owning more exotic pets, but the majority of people still own the traditional domesticated dog or cat. Marketers of pet products seem to come out with different merchandise every week to entice pet owners to spend more money. Everytime I go to my local petstore, they have some other new cute pet item that I just must have.
Cat Mat to the Rescue
My husband and I own both dogs and cats. When we were first married my husband had a dog and made it clear to me that he did not like cats. I grew up with pet cats and knew that I wanted to have one in our family home. After we were married a year I convinced him to add a pet cat to the family. My husband still pretends he dislikes the cat, but I see him playing with her all the time. My love of cats is well known amongst our friends and relatives and I soon started receiving cat related items as gifts. I now have a curio cabinet filled with various cat statues and also have a great deal of cat related jewelry. For my last birthday I received a cat door mat and a new ceramic cat food dish. The cat door mat that I received is rather small and made of rubber. I decided that this would be a good thing to use to place the cat’s food dishes on. I placed the cat door mat in the corner where the cats eat and put a decorative can on it that contains their food and then their food dishes and water bowl. It makes the area look more appealing and the cats certainly seem to enjoy their new mat.
The Cuter the Better
Since I received the cat door mat I have seen many such rugs in the stores. Some of them have cute sayings on them and others are cut in the shape of a cat. Some are made out of exotic materials that make them very expensive. I think these are for pet owners that have a great deal of money to pamper their pets with. Along with the abundance of cat door mats there are also an increasing number of outfits and toys available to keep your cat happy. I laugh when I seen some of the expensive toys, because my cats, when they are awake, tend to play with an old ball of yarn and the milk rings that come off my milk jugs instead of the fancy stuff. They get an occasional cat nip toy that they will play with for a few minutes, but usually they are content to sleep on the bed or the back of the sofa. I have found that our cats do not care what the new toy or article is, they just want food water a place to sleep and having their ears scratched in the evening. The cat mat when it comes down to it, is more for my enjoyment I think.
