Chopstick Kitty Eats from Chopsticks

Persian kitty Cooper eats by chopsticks! Not only is this super cute, but also practical (prevents biting during training). You can also watch him wipe his face and eat a watermelon.

Monkey Driving a Banana – Handcarved Wood Toys

Forest Derby Critters

Forest Derby Critters

Farm Derby Critters

Farm Derby Critters

Set of 6 for $39 at wisteria.com | Forest Critters | Farm Critters

Handcarved wood toys remind me of a time when kids weren’t chewing on lead-painted plastic. These whimsical animals in derby cars (which, btw, represent what the animal likes) are not throw-away-after-a-month trinkets. The toys are made from Chinese Linden wood and will perfectly suit mature kids (or adults!) that can appreciate quality.. and won’t destroy them in a self-directed six car pileup.

‘Slow Loris’, the Cutest Animal You Can Never Own

Slow Loris

Slow Loris

With his big eyes, cute button nose, and slow deliberate movement, the Slow Loris is just about the cutest wild animal you can come across. This nocturnal creature has opposable thumbs and will slowly nibble on fruits that it grasps with a deadly grip… And as much as you want to take a Slow Loris home to love and keep, they should never be made into household pets. Bummer.

A Cat Scratcher You Can Put in the Living Room

Petlinks Curvy Two-Surface Scratcher

Petlinks Curvy Two-Surface Scratcher

$24.99 at amazon.com

Scratching posts are unsightly – which is why this curvy scratcher, with it’s unconventional looks, is perfect for the living room (we keep ours under a side table). This scratcher has become a play-thing, scratching-thing, and a laying-around at all hours of the day thing. And that’s really the only problem – since the kitties tear up every part of the scratching surface (not just the sisal), we’re on our second one after about a year of use. But hey, the curvy scratcher is cheap enough.. and being guaranteed that the cats will like it always makes it worth it!
