Try A Jumbo Litter Box

If you have a particularly large cat or you have more than one cat then you should consider getting a Jumbo Kitty Litter Box.  Your cat will really appreciate a bit of extra room to maneuver.  Also they will have more space to use that is clean and so there will be less chance of them getting upset by their litter box being too dirty or getting anything on themselves.  It is also great for multiple cat households for the same reason.  We have two cats and two litter boxes but both of them use the Jumbo box now as long as they have access to it.

We originally ordered the Jumbo box for our especially large Persian, Celtic Twilight, because he was getting to big for his old box.  We had no idea how big it would be when we ordered it and we laughed when it came in the post. It looks like double the size of a regular box. This will only suit people that have a place to put it but it is definitely a worthy purchase for you kitty!

Here is the link to the one we bought (very reasonable price as well)

Gorgeous Lilac Solid Male Available For Stud Spring/Summer 2011

We are looking to stud out our gorgeous boy this spring/summer to another reputable persian breeder.  As we only have one queen right now and she is too young to mate with, our stud Celtic Twilight is beginning to get a bit frustrated.  In order to keep him happy we would be very interested in finding a suitable mating for him ASAP.  He was the  first lilac solid persian ever to be registered in Ireland and I think he may still be the only male here.  He has by far the sweetest most cuddly temperament I have ever come across in a cat and he never ceases to make me laugh!

So if you or someone you know would like to add chocolate to their lines or just have a beautiful stud then please contact us.  You can reach me on 0858113060 or linda.keith23@gmail.com

Great Value Grooming Hair Dryer

Buying a professional grooming hair dryer might sound a bit over the top for some people but it has changed my life.  If you have a long haired cat or dog, have multiple pets or you show or breed your pet then I would highly recommend you try one.  Your pet will look and feel so much better and it will cut the amount of time you have to spend grooming them by half!

The best part is I have found a very very cheap supplier on eBay so for anyone who is interested here is the link:

The best part is you can get great volume on your own hair too!!!!!

Cat Grooming Products

For anyone who has a cat that needs a bit of TLC or even a dog for that matter here are some grooming tips you should find very useful.

To safely remove tear stains from a cat or a dogs eyes please try Bio Groom:

If you are just washing your cat or dog normally or before a show it is advisable to clean the very dirty or oily areas with a degreaser.  One cheap alternative  to this is to use Fairy Liquid soap.  Wash your pet behind the ears, at the leg joints, under the belly and around their behind with this to get them really clean!

We can honestly say Doreen Virtue has some of the best cat grooming products that you can buy.  We know this because of our great success at our first show.  So if you are looking to pamper your kitty with some extra special grooming products here is our recommendations:

For a great shampoo try the black or blue pearl shampoo range.  We use the blue pearl for our white and grey cats and it is fantastic:

Great Success At Our First Show

Hi All,

Just wanted to keep you updated on our success at the Midlands Cat Show in Limerick in February.

Kazbara Celtic Twilight won best of his breed and 1st in his class as a lilac solid kitten.  He also won best non-breeders kitten for the entire show.

Risetta Princess Jasmin also took home best of breed and first in her class for the tabby CP kittens.  She was up against two other kittens and we are very proud of her.

We really enjoyed the day and made lots of new friends - both feline and human :)

Both of the cats have qualified now for the Grand Supreme Cat Show in Blanchardstown on May 8th.  Come check out the show if you are not doing anything on that Sunday.  Admission is 5 euro and you will have a blast looking at all the best cats in Ireland!

Chopsticks feeding Squirrel-like Kitten

This is one of my all time favorite animal videos featuring a beatiful Persian. He was Animal Planets cutest cat this year!!!

Our First Queen

Finally after months of searching for the right queen to breed Celtic Twilight with we have found her!  The week before Christmas we will drive up to Armagh in Northern Ireland to collect the new addition to our family  - Princess Jasmine from Risetta Persians.  She is a beautiful Seal Tortie Tabby Colourpoint Persian kitten.  Her colouring will darken as she gets older but you can already see the striping slightly in her tail and paws.

I cant wait to have two of the most beautiful cats at my first show in February!!!

There are so many different colours kittens that can come out of this match so stay tuned!!!!

Have You Heard of The Furminator? It Will Change Your Life!

I do not need to do too much explaining here as the video below will do just that. I will say that this is one of the best things I bought in quite a long time. I would say it has cut down on the amount of dog and cat hairs in my house by 90%. I used to pick my dogs up and I would just be covered in their white hairs. Not anymore!!!

Cheapest price I have found these is on amazon, they are a bit more expensive in your local pet shop.
