NEWS – Instead of a big carpet-covered column with carpet-covered shelves and boxes like most cat trees, this Natural Sphere Cat Tower from Sauder looks almost like a floor lamp.  The tower stands 43.75″ tall and is 19.8″ wide at the front and 21.6″ deep.  It’s topped with a wicker sphere with two access holes and is fitted with a comfortable, machine-washable bed cushion inside.  The base has a carpeted shelf and a toy on an elastic string.  One leg is wrapped with sisal rope to serve as a scratching post (instead of your sofa arms).  The wood has an espresso finish.

The Natural Sphere Cat Tower is $234.99 direct from Sauder.  You can also check the website for the location of a retailer near you.

NEWS – Mountain Dog Product leashes are made from recycled UIAA-certified dynamic rock climbing ropes – designed to stop a climber’s fall from great heights – so they can handle whatever your dog can dish out.  The folks at Mountain Dogs are avid climbers, so they are invested in protecting the Earth’s natural beauty.  That’s why they use recycled rope and why they manufacture their leashes by hand, producing almost no carbon footprint in the process.  And it’s also why all their packaging and paper contains recycled materials.

They are also dog lovers, so they make quality products to protect their animals.  The leashes have a loop at one end and a clip at the other end, and either end can hold almost 1500 pounds.

Some leashes are available with a clip or a carabiner, and some are available in a slip-leash style for use without a collar.  Lengths vary by type of leash.  They even offer the Mighty Mini Leash, designed for dogs up to 25 pounds; it’s made using 8mm anchor cord so it’s thinner and lighter than the other leashes, but it still can hold up to 1500 pounds.  All leashes carry a lifetime warranty, even against chewing.  Prices vary between $22.50 to $47.50.  Learn more at Mountain Dog Products.

NEWS – Most cat “trees” I’ve seen look more like houses from The Jetsons than an actual tree.  They are usually just a series of carpet-covered shelves, den-like boxes, and shallow “bowls” attached to a center pole.  The On2Pets CatHaven Cat Condo Furniture shown here put the “tree” in the climbing tree, with a center pole covered in “tree bark” and a leafy canopy creating hiding spaces for your cat to relax and keep an eye on things.

This structure stands about 5 feet tall, with a 26″ diameter base for stability.  There are three shelves, 26, 22, and 18 inches in diameter; they can be adjusted and secured in different positions.  Each perch is edged with silk leaves, so your cat can hide behind the foliage, just like in a real tree.

The tree is made of pressed wood, carpet, and artificial leaves.  All materials are non-toxic and safe for your cat. The manufacturer says the tree can be assembled in 15 minutes, with no tools necessary.  The On2Pets CatHaven Cat Condo Furniture large, round-based tree is $170.19 with free shipping at Amazon.

NEWS – If you’re a dog owner like me, then you’ve probably come across this problem. How do I clean my dog’s paws? Things like mud, road salt, and lawn chemicals can be hard to clean off your dog’s tender paws. Even harder to do if your dog fusses (like mine) while you’re trying to clean them. Paw Plunger to the rescue.

The Paw Plunger quickly and easily cleans your dog’s paws. The large plastic bucket looks like an oversized coffee mug. Inside the Paw Plunger, there are paw-friendly bristles that brush your dog’s paws and nails clean.

And it’s easy to use. Just fill it with warm water, place a paw inside, then plunge gently. Afterward, wipe fido’s paws dry with a towel.

After use, dispose of dirty water. Rinse with warm water and air dry.

And the spill-proof lid means you can bring it along with you in the car on your next trip to the park.

The Paw Plunger comes in three sizes, petite for dogs up to 15lbs ($14.99), medium for dogs up to 75lbs ($19.99) and large for dogs over 75lbs ($24.99).

The Paw Plunger is available on Amazon.
