Marmalade Wallflower is a Big Hit

Wallflower Cat Scratcher

I’ve never had my own Wallflower cat scratcher from Marmalade Pet Care, but I finally had a chance to test one out and I absolutely love it. It’s so great that it makes me even more sad that these are being discontinued! I always thought that they were smaller, but the Wallflower scratcher is actually a substantial size at 34″ long and 3.5″ wide. When you mount it on the wall according to the directions, it is the perfect height for cats — even big cats — to get a good stretch while scratching. And it’s so beautiful, like a piece of modern sculpture.

Here’s Ando giving a little demonstration:

Wallflower Modern Cat Scratcher

You can also order the Wallflower without the wall clips and use it on the floor. Some cats, like Mackenzie, prefer to scratch horizontally.

Wallflower Modern Cat Scratcher from Marmalade Pet Care

I have word that there are not very many Wallflowers left in the Marmalade inventory clearance, so if you want one, this is your last chance. The Wallflower is available to Moderncat readers for just $23.10 and the wall clips are $17.60, both prices include shipping. Order one today here.

Finally! An Alternative to Plastic Pet Drinking Fountains!

Finally! An Alternative to Plastic Pet Drinking Fountains!

I have been meaning to post these since I saw them at the Global Pet Expo earlier this year. Most pet drinking fountains are made of plastic, which can be difficult to keep clean, causing feline acne to develop in some cats. Remember my post about poor Mackenzie with his feline acne?

Mid-century Moderncat: 1950s Hand Carved Cat with Yarn

Mid-century Moderncat: 1950s Hand Carved Cat with Yarn

Peter found this awesome 1950s hand carved sculpture over on 1stdibs (the best online resource for all things mid-century modern and high-end) so it’s a bit pricey at $750, but it sure is cool. Unfortunately, the artist is unknown. I’d love to find one at a yard sale!
