Reading Time: 2 minutes I recently ordered this American Cat Club Cardboard Scratch Kitty Hotel for my cats. I thought it was cute. Plus, I was hoping it would encourage my cat, Motor, to spend more time in the bedroom. A comfy kitty hotel seemed like it would do the trick. The hotel needed to be assembled when it…
Reading Time: 2 minutes Today I’m reviewing a recent purchase — the Van Ness Corner Enclosed Cat Pan. By the way, that adorable pawprint mat is from Dollar General. It was only $4, and I’m planning on going back and grabbing a couple more to put under the pet’s good dishes. It looks nice, its inexpensive and it has…
Reading Time: 2 minutes I like to get my chickens mealworms on a pretty regular basis, but it can get expensive. So, I was looking for a mealworm treat that wouldn’t cost too much, but which would make the chickens happy. I purchased “The Original Henny Penny Shrimp & Mealworm Medley” from chewy.com. The product size is 10 oz….
Reading Time: 3 minutes I purchased a small loveseat a couple of weeks ago, and almost as soon as I had it, one of my kitties decided the armrest was a wonderful new place to sharpen her claws. So, I new I was going to need to buy a cover quickly. I looked at all kinds, but I wanted…
Reading Time: 3 minutes So, I wanted to share this little statue that I bought on Amazon.com recently. It came in the mail the other day and I can’t get over how cute it is. I like it so much that I actually ordered another one, which should be delivered soon. It’s this little gal: Darice Country Blue Hen…
Reading Time: 2 minutes The full product name of this collar is actually: “Soft Velvet Safe Cat Bell Collar, Adjustable Mini Collar Bling Diamante with Bells, Safety Quick Release Collars Belt 11 inch for Small Dogs and Cats (Black)” I ordered it off of Amazon for $8.98. There were a couple of key things that made me want to…
Reading Time: 2 minutes I recently decided to give Milk-Bone brushing chews a try for my four dogs. It had been a little while since they had some new bones to chew and I wanted to get them something. But, at the same time, I was also hoping to find a treat that would be good for their teeth….
Reading Time: < 1 minute Today, me and my cat, Motor, are reviewing some free apps for cats. I said in our last video that we were going to review another movie, but this was something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile, so, I went looking for some of the free apps that are out there for cats. There…
Reading Time: 3 minutes With two cats in the house, I’m always on the lookout for a good cat litter. I’ve also had cats in my life for pretty much all my life, so, at this point, I don’t think there are too many brands of cat litter I haven’t tried. I was excited to try Nature’s Logic 100%…
Reading Time: 3 minutes So, I was doing some shopping recently and came across these:
Reading Time: 3 minutes I thought I had bought pretty much every kind of chicken food and treat in the book at this point. I have stopped at Agrisupply and Tractor Supply, and Walmart (boy, was I THRILLED the day our Walmart started selling chicken feed), far too many times to count and lugged home various large, heavy bags…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Back in November, one hen and a rooster apparently pecked a lot of feathers out of the back of the third hen in the flock. We noticed this when we went to feed them one day and there were feathers all over the place and the poor chicken had a bald spot. So we went…
Reading Time: 2 minutes We recently got a package of Scruffy Paws Daily Multi (multivitamins) for cats. The vitamins are a product from Scruffy Paws Nutrition and come 30 chews to a pack. As you can see from the picture above, the vitamins contain over 20 balanced nutrients. According to the site, the vitamins are “designed to fill the…
Reading Time: 2 minutes In the second installment of “Meadow chews stuff up,” (you can check out the first one by clicking here) we are testing out the Nerf Dog Durable, Rugged, Interactive Squeak toy. So, was this durable rubber toy strong enough to stand up to Meadow? Well, she started off with some basic chewing. But she quickly…
Reading Time: 2 minutes So, we’re starting a new section for our site called Meadow Chews Stuff Up. Why? Because, like many young pups with lots of energy, Meadow is a champion chewer who can go through supposedly long lasting bones/toys, so we thought she would be a good product tester. Whenever she tries out a new chew toy,…
Reading Time: 2 minutes I really wish I could let my chickens free range, but, for their safety (mostly due to worries about predators, such as dogs, and neighbors who don’t want them wandering into their yard), I have to keep them in pens. I’ve been looking at a number of different options, and, until I can afford fencing,…
Reading Time: 3 minutes We recently ordered a chicken saddle for our silkie hen. A chicken saddle is also known as a chicken apron, chicken jacket or a hen saver. Its main purpose (other than looking super cute) is to protect the skin and feathers on their back from when roosters mount them so that hens don’t end up…
Reading Time: 2 minutes I was looking for an inexpensive bird bath for my yard and I came across Best Choice Products Outdoor Pedestal Bird Bath on amazon.com. It received very good reviews overall, and, at 22.99 (free shipping) it was definitely inexpensive, so I decided to order it. By the way, if you are looking for this or…
Reading Time: 3 minutes As we mentioned in a previous post, we recently got our first bag of Pretty Litter in the mail. Our cat, Jingles, has been using it for a few days, so we decided to do a review. In the interest of disclosure, we should mention that we are an affiliate for Pretty Kitty,…
Reading Time: 3 minutes We bought the Kitty City Jungle Panther Play Cube from Wal-Mart in Greenville, North Carolina for $4.98 plus tax. We had been eyeing this for a while now. But, our cat, Motor, pretty much likes to sleep on top of things as opposed to inside stuff and we weren’t sure if she would care for…
Reading Time: 2 minutes We are reviewing these two products together: New Age Pet ecoFLEX Fontana Chicken Barn and New Age Pet ecoFLEX Fontana Pen. We bought the barn and pen, which both arrived in the mail and we put them together today. The descriptions: The pen: Maintenance free and easy to clean 10 year warranty 6 + sq…
Reading Time: 2 minutes This time of year, we need a lot of straw for our chickens and peacocks to help keep them warm and dry in addition to putting straw in the nesting boxes. And we know others need it for dog bedding. Unfortunately, we have had a lot of trouble finding straw locally. In fact, we had…
