Plus it looks cool, stylish and pretty comfy. Its proper name is the Hepper Pod Pet Bed. I prefer ‘Cat Pod’ myself. We were quite impressed with its stylish, modern looks. Designed for cats and small dogs the ‘Cat Pod’ provides a personal retreat for your pet to snooze, hide or relax on high.

It sits on a study steel frame that elevates the pod off the ground. The pod itself is an enclosed dome shape that provides protection from all sides a has a fleece-lined interior. You can add some extra comfort with a small pillow or cushion or leave it as is for you cat (or small dog) to enjoy.

The pod comes in six different colors which makes it easier to match to the furniture in any room of your house. The Hepper Pod Pet Bed is available online at Design Public. If you order one you should qualify for free shipping too since it’s over the fifty dollar limit. These beds are very popular and have sold out in most colors. Pity.

We plan to get one and try it out when more beds come in for the color we want.

I’d like to start off this post and tell you that we have a new favorite web site.

Automatic tap for your cat - The Cat Faucet

This is something we found while on Koncoction’s HowTo page this morning. It’s a neat idea for people with cats that have learned how to drink from the faucet. If you’re a bit of a do it yourself type person and your cat drinks from the faucet you should try this out. It’s pretty cool.

It turns on when your cat is thirsty and shuts off when they are finished drinking. It’s a bit technical to set-up but if you’re good with plumbing and gadgets you should be ok.

All the instructions are here. There’s a short video showing the Cat Faucet in action with a few pictures to let you see how it looks.
