If your holiday gift list includes cat or dog owners, consider giving a Pootie Pad. These are small quilts containing organic herbs — the best catnip for the kitties and soothing lavender and thyme for dogs. Fabric choices are found on the Pootie Pad website: see here for cats and here for dogs. In addition, we have these three new fabrics (just in) for cats:
About Pootie Pads:
Pootie Pads are a product that arose because of the daily Pootie diaries here on Daily Kos — they were designed with the cats of Kossacks in mind. Made with love by myself and my sister, winglion, they are little quilts filled with human grade, organic catnip (the best we have ever found) from Oregon. All the fabrics are pre-washed before we use them so the pads are innocent of any toxic sizing or preservatives. Cats love them! The pads promote play — and also seem to have a soothing effect on anxious cats (making them the perfect liner for a cat carrier during travel). Elderly cats love them, too — we think because the catnip eases the aches and pains of older bones and joints.
Our pads for dogs contain organic lavender and thyme, soothing herbs that may promote calm.
In addition to the pads, winglion has been making some clever little catnip toys. Each one contains a big wad of catnip, not a tiny pinch as in many toys. A ribbon loop is sewn in so that a string may be tied to it to use it as a dangle toy. We are offering a free toy with each and every $35 purchase. The featured bonus toy is a catnip tree, purrfect for a stocking stuffer.
Stock up on stocking stuffers! Here is how to order sets of our catnip toys. Buy a set of four toys and get a bonus Catnip Tree.
