We are in kitten season again with the feral cats. If you care or and are rescuing feral cats and/or their kittens, you will need to stock up on kitten milk. Cat Supplies and More offers a wide variety of kitten milk in both powdered and liquid formulas, made by Pet-Ag, Tomlyn, and Farnum.
If you are feeding a family, you will want to stock up on the 28oz Pet-Ag Powdered KMR kitten milk replacer, which is the most economical and efficient way to keep a litter of new-borns well fed. While raising newborn Stormy in the Autumn of 2011, I went through two of these large cans before she was fully weaned.
Cat Supplies and More also supplies a variety of bottles and nipples, as we recommend your having a variety of nipples on hand. We have found some to be preferred by newborns. Cat Supplies and More carries something for every tiny kitten’s personal taste.

Good morning! Today is May Day, and we are getting a gentle rain right now, guaranteed to help green up the grass and plants after a long spell with little moisture. So Cat Supplies and More is having a 3-day “Green Up on May Day Sale” with all Greenies for Cats 20% off today through the end of May 3.
Greenies are probably the most popular cat treats. They are great tasting and good for your cat’s teeth by helping remove tartar and plaque. We have cats on a wet-only diet (for urinary tract health) so Greenies are essential for their gums and teeth. The 3oz Greenies package comes in 5 flavors: Beef, Salmon, Chicken, Ocean Fish, and Tuna. The 6oz Greenies package come in 4 flavors: Salmon, Chicken, Ocean Fish, and Tuna.
Also on sale are Greenie’s Pill Pockets, which come in Chicken and Salmon flavors. I blogged about these awhile back, as they are a wonderful way to give pills to cats that are hard to pill. Simple insert the pill into the opening and wrap the soft casing around the pill.
See the entire line-up of cat treats at Cat Supplies and More, and stock up!
NB: Overseas buyers: please feel free to order and we will be in contact for shipping costs.
It is flea and tick season now, or will be soon for everyone in the US. That means outdoor cats must be treated in order to prevent getting flea infestations that they can bring indoors, or catching diseases by ticks. Most people typically think of applying the back-of-the-neck topical drops, and many people shy away from using the chemicals those topical drops contain. People do have other options.
PetNaturals of Vermont produces an all-natural repellent for cats (also for dogs) which can eliminate the need for harsh chemicals. The formula is based on natural scents used successfully for centuries in the Amazons to mask the odors that attract not only fleas and ticks but also mosquitos and flies.
The formula comes in an 8oz pump spray that you can apply to the fur and rub in as necessary, and also a handy packet of pre-moistened towelettes that might be easier to apply and which you can take with you while traveling if necessary. Simply apply every 2-3 days before your kitty goes outside, and it is safe for daily use.
The synergistic blend of natural oils (Lemongrass Oil, Cinnamon Oil, Sesame Oil, and Caster Oil) are not harmful to your cats (but follow instructions and keep away from the eyes). But, if by chance your kitty still gets fleas, you will probably need one of the chemical topicals from Cat Supplies and More to kill the fleas and their eggs.
Provided you cat-moms and dads us PetNaturals Flea + Tick Repellant regularly and diligently, you shouldn’t need those harsh chemical treatments.
Well, I meant to post this in the morning but the day got away from me. In honor of Arbor Day, Cat Supplies and More has a sale on our new line-up of cat bowls made of bamboo trees, as well as from cooked rice husks, and 100% natural plant dyes, all of which are non-harmful renewable resources.
These bowls are made to be highly durable by a special process combining heat and pressure. The feel better than a plastic bowl, and unlikely to break. And if by chance they do get old and worn, or broken for any reason, they are biodegradable. Good for the planet, good for your kitty, and good for your conscience.
The selection comes in a variety of sizes and shapes and colors, including square bowls for that certain je ne sais quoi to your cat’s dining decor.
They are all on sale at 20% off through the end of Sunday April 29 EST. Shop now! You find them listed on our home page.
I’ve been writing and posting about the West Paw Design Oval Cat Beds. I’m finally getting around to posting this picture of Finnegan on his West Paw Design Zoo Rest Cat Bed (in the Giraffe pattern) which I got him for his very own as he goes to his new furever home (one of many rescued kitties the past 8 months). He wanted to sit under my desk (his new Mom was in the office next door) and I wanted him to sleep on his new bed, so we compromised, as you can see. He’s purrfect that way — what a specially kitty. I’m so sad to see him go but so happy he has a wonderful new place.
These beds (the Nature Nap Oval and Zoo Rest Oval) by West Paw Design are universally adored!! I can’t say enough about the amazing goodness. These are the top product in the store right now and no wonder! Every cat loves them (I can’t say that about cat toys, nor about cat food, I must admit). No West Paw Oval Cat Bed goes unloved!
The Zoo Rest beds differ from the Nature Nap beds only in fabric and pattern. The Zoo Rest beds are more plush and come in two animal-like patterns. The Nature Nap beds come in berber fabric in solid colors.
Not only do the cats here love them but people tell me how much they appreciate the West Paw Design ethic in saving the environment, and the fact the fact that their purchase is so American — small business doing well by doing good, made in America, and protecting the environment. We at Cat Supplies and More are one and the same with West Paw Design.
PS – Behind him is his 2nd (having destroyed his first) Ratherbee Catnip Rocket (made by another American eco-friendly small business).
Holidays abound with extra foods and nibbles, and Easter time means extra chocolate around the house, especially for the kids: chocolate bunnies, eggs, and more. But chocolate is one of those food products that is poisonous to cats, causing symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and can even be fatal.
The Pets side of Web MD provides a very helpful website of the top 10 groups of poisons for cats. Regarding chocoloate, issues a rather mild statement: “Experts don’t recommend giving chocolate, caffeine, or coffee to your cat.” However, PetMD provides a much stronger warning in its article about Chocolate Poisoning in Cats.
Other sites on the internet provide strong warnings about increased awareness about chocolate toxicity for both dogs and cats. If you see signs of your vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or other signs of ill health and suspect chocolate might be a factor, seek veterinarian attention immediately.
We recommend you keep handy this link for the ASCPA Animal Poison Control FAQ and always have this number with you to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center hotline: (888) 426-4435.
We at Cat Supplies and More love our chocolate, but are vigilant about keeping any chocolate away from the kitties. We hope you and your furmily have a safe and Happy Easter!
Earlier this year, I posted about the eco-friendly Nature Nap Oval Cat Bed by West Paw Designs. This simple but functional bed was an instant hit with my own kitties. A new customer recently sent me photos of her kitties almost immediately after she put the new bed on a favorite kitty-sitting spot (under their table). I believe the Nature Nap Oval Cat Bed, in lovely Beech Glass blue, was meant for the senior kitty, Pica, but the younger kitty, Lima, moved onto the bed as soon as Pica got up some time later.
"I barely had it out and there she was! I knew Pica would love it 
"
"Thank you for my new bed!"
Lima says, "My turn!"
This customer is someone who appreciates the fact that these beds are made by a small company here in the US, are made from recycled plastic bottles, and are environmentally friendly in every way. To answer her question about washing the beds: YES, they wash well without the filling getting bunched up, as so often happens, because the specially designed Intelliloft filling (from recycled plastic bottles) is designed to stay in place. At Cat Supplies and More, we think this bed has everything possible going for it.
Our Nature Nap Oval Cat Bed is still the top pick, and I hope Pica and Lima continue to love theirs. Other options from West Paw Design include the Build-A-Bumper Cat Bed and the Zoo Rest Oval Cat Bed.
Dry skin patches can happen to cats in winter as they can humans. On of the kitties here has what we call “crusties”, itchy patches on the skin that are irritable, but not as bad as balding hotspots. We know the problem isn’t dermatitis from flea allergies or stress, and suspect the problem is the dry winter air.
Fortunately, I have found that this kitty is crazy for Catswell VitaKitty Chicken Jerky Treats for cats. VitaKitty treats are full of Vitamin E supplements, Flaxseed, and Vitamin A, as well as the natural protein from chicken meat. Flaxseed, n antioxidant, flaxseed is rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids to help promote a shiny coat. Flax is a good source of magnesium, phosphorous and copper, and a very good source of dietary fiber, thiamin and manganese. It also contains vitamins including B group and E. Vitamin E is an essential fat soluble vitamin. Vitamin A, also called retinol, is crucial for proper eye function and necessary for healthy skin and mucous membranes. It also has antioxidant properties.
These healthy treats are in small easily-chewable “jerky” bits rather than round chunks. They contain no artificial additives, no hormones, no antibiotics, no byproducts, no wheat, no gluten, no corn, no soy, no salt, no sugar, and no rice, so are ideal for cats with allergies. Another selling point for us at Cat Supplies and More: the chicken comes from cage-free chickens (“free range” only guarantees one hour outside cage every day).
Finally – Here is an article to help you troubleshoot the source of your cat’s dry skin: http://www.quality-cat-care.com/cat-dry-skin.html
Cat Supplies and More carries a variety of heated beds but if you don’t want to replace your kitty’s favorite hang-out, you can still give him a heated bed by adding the PetSafe Universal Heated Bed Warmer, which PetSafe refers to as Heated Wellness.
This is the quick and easy solution for keeping infirm or arthritic cats comfortable. I have bad arthritis in my toes and I often sit with my feet wrapped in a heating pad, so I can tell you how marvelous it feels that soothing warmth. But a human-grade heating pad is not the best bed for a cat, as they aren’t meant for continuous, long-term use and can overheat a cat which will force it to leave the comfort of the bed. The SafePet Heated Wellness pad combines a low-voltage heater with therapeutic padding for ongoing kitty comfort. It also includes a safety layer to prevent your cat from being overheated or causing damage to wounds.
The heating pad will also help a nursing queen keep her kittens at the right temperature in their critical early days when warm is vital.
The pad is easily cleaned and the cord is chew-proof. Simply put the pad in your kitty’s bed and cover with a soft cloth for comfort. Heated Wellness is an easy way to pamper your kitty and take care of old and infirm fur friends.
