CatPaint is an iphone application that allows you to add kitten images to your photos on iPhone. Thanks to the wonderful technology and our obsession with cats, we can now create those pictures simply by tapping on the screen of our iphone.
This app brings photo editing to a different level. With flying, sleeping, lounging kittens for you to choose and drop in your pictures, you can create your own kitten land, fantasy world and magical place as you’d like.
The application provides a variety of kitten pictures from jumping, sleeping to lunging and pouncing. You can adjust the size of each kitten and even shake your iphone to adjust the position of a kitten if you didn’t drop it into the right place. Just start by pulling out your litter box and then select the kitties you want to add to your photos.
Below are pictures edited with catpaint app. You can see more pictures at the Catpaint gallery. Enjoy!

FroliCat Bolt
FroliCat Bolt is an interactive laser toy that engages your cat with very little effort on your part. It runs on a set of 4 AA batteries. All you need to do is set it down and push the power button. It comes with a mirror where its angel can be adjusted for you to change the range of the light play. [Play video below]
Positive:
It is automatic, so you do not need to do anything but watch and enjoy the reaction from your cat. The laser beam is bright. It can be seen clearly even under sun light. The Bolt is timed to shut down in 15 minutes, so you do not need to manually turn it off. You can adjust the mirror to find a different angel for the beam to travel, so you can set the Bolt on the floor, table or anywhere you’d like.
For most cats, this toy gets them to run around the floor and on the wall, doing all kinds of silly antics.
Negative:
Its product description fails to mention that you cannot adjust the speed at which the light moves. With a handheld laser, you can control its moving speed and make it dynamic which means more excitement for your cats. There are cases where cats get in the way of the laser and therefore cannot see the dot. There is a limit to how far you can adjust the mirror angel. It works better in a larger space. When the beam is moving, it also produces noise which maybe annoying to some cats and could throw off their enthusiasm. A number of cats may find this toy interesting, but not exciting enough to get them to chase the dot.
Note:
Before you purchase this toy, it is a good idea to test on a hand held laser pointer to see if your cat is interested in chasing laser dots in general. Also, in terms of health, as long as your cat is not staring directly into the laser for quite a while, it should be fine.
Da Bird
Most cats love and are crazy about Da Bird. It is a toy that resembles a real bird for cats. It provides loads of fun and energizes your cats by unraveling their natural predator instinct. Cats are widely known to love Da Bird, it is not surprising to know that it is one of the most popular cat toys. [Play video below]
Positive:
It makes the perfect prey for your cats. By letting your cat stalk, prowl, pounce and catch DaBird, you are providing the ultimate fun time and plenty of exercise for your cat, both mentally and physically. It is a great way to keep your cats stimulated, so they will leave your favorite rug or furniture alone.
Negative:
Cats tend to bite DaBird as part of their hunter instinct. It may occur occasionally that cats ingest part of a feather or fur from the toy. If your DaBird is getting torn up, it is better to replace it with a brand new one before your cats get the opportunity to thrash it into pieces.

Automatic cat feeders are designed to make feeding less of a chore. They come in different sizes, styles and with various features. Cat feeders can be used for a single cat or multiple cats. If your purpose of having a cat feeder is to free feed your cat, any style of feeders will do. However, if you want to regulate your cat’s diet, you can get one that allows you to set the amount dispensed and time of feedings.
The disadvantage of cat feeders is that they can only contain dry food since wet food is a lot more perishable and cannot be left out in room temperature for long.
Some people may consider an automatic cat feeder for their cats if they will be away for a long period of time. Cats are very smart animals. Never underestimate their ability to get what they want. You maybe surprised to know that cats can easily learn to sneak food out of anything once they know where the food is located and how it gets out.
I would not replace a human pet sitter with an automatic cat feeder for that reason and also having a person play with the cat everyday will greatly help relieve some of the stress induced by your absence.
It may take sometime for your cat to get used to a cat feeding machine and understand what it is for. The video below will give you a very good idea of how cats may react to an automatic cat feeder for the very first time.

If you have a long haired kitty such as a Persian or Himalayan, would you keep their extra hair and make it into a handbag or a sweater?
Danelle German is a groomer who came up with an idea to collect the hair she shaves off of her clients’ cats and spin it into yarn and finally knit it into purses or sweaters. She even has set up her own website to sell her handmade cat hair handbags.
