Hand-Stamped Cat Tights DIY
Hi again! I have been interested in hand-stamping clothing for a little while now–ok, I have been OBSESSED! This Hand-Stamped DIY is following a few adventures in fabric painting on PaperSparrow.

Since Autumn is in the air, colorful printed tights are a must in my wardrobe and these teal ones were calling out for a cat pattern =^_^= I styled my teal Cat Tights... Read More
Beyond Stuffed Mice: Toys For The Discerning Cat
You know the old adage about children playing with the box a toy comes in more than the toy itself? In my experience, cats are the same way. The real toys I buy my cats have been batted away to some far-off corner in the basement, while stray bits of ribbon and felt stay in heavy rotation. Occasionally, though, I can’t resist spoiling them with cute and clever toys, like the ones featured here. Combining the analog charm of mix tapes with corny puns, Too Bad Mice specializes...

Where The Teal Is My Cat?
The Teal Cat Shipping Dept. slacking off on the job I know, I said six weeks max, and it’s been, well, more than that! Some teal cats have gone out, but I feel I owe you an explanation in case you haven’t received yours yet. When I started this, I had only painted 10 cats or so. And I thought, “No big deal, I can do a million of these!” A little history: I actually started my creative life as a visual artist. As a kid, I was always the one designing the set in... Read More
Buy Vegan from a Vegan with this Etsy Team
Sick On Sin Considering how huge it is now — the site has over one million members and 800,000 active shops — it’s hard to believe that Etsy is only six years old. The site is a smorgasboard of goods, and that’s usually a great thing, but it can be a problem when you’re looking for something along a particular set of guidelines, like vegan items.

A Scratch-Free Way to Get Your Cat in Clothes

Why Don’t You Leave Them As They Are?
This question has come up again and again. “Don’t paint the cat, it’s cute as is!” While it’s understandable, it’s also a bit frustrating, but perhaps if the website isn’t explaining it well enough, I should just go ahead and answer it. My first thought is, sometimes you just have to let go. Growing up in NYC, I watched the city go through a lot of changes. After awhile I had to tell myself not to let my heart break every time one of my favorite... Read More
Four Tips For Socializing Feral Kittens
It is inevitable that you will find kittens while participating in Trap-Neuter-Return. What will you do with these kittens? Will you release them after surgery, or will you socialize them and adopt them out? It takes a lot of patience and total commitment to socialize feral kittens. The process can take 2 to 6 weeks, or even longer for older or more skittish kittens. Kittens under 10 weeks of age are ideal for socialization. Kittens over 12 weeks of age often take much longer...
