“Nothing tells kitty you love her more than a severed leg.” I had to smile when I read this on the Life With Tigers website. I’ve long believed cats are the coolest pets exactly because they are pygmy tigers.
A pile of severed leg catnip toys
Life With Tigers was founded Karen Brazell, a fellow New Yorker and cat lover (with 3 cats), who started her business crafting cat dolls for humans. One day a doll leg went missing only to be spotted in the mouth of a “grey kitty walking around with the leg in her mouth, like a mountain lion who just overtook a jogger.” Viola, severed leg catnip toys were born!
Wonder what a guy would think upon seeing these strewn about my floor…
With Valentines Day around the corner, Karen has generously to GIVEAWAY THREE LEGS to three different I HAVE CAT readers along with a 20% discount on her adorable animal prints. The legs are 4.5 inches tall and hand-made of fleece, cotton, felt, fiberfil and catnip.

Haddie demonstrates how fun it is to play with severed legs.
Karen is also offering a 20% discount on her stylish retro animal public service announcements (e.g. “Brush your cat to reduce their hairballs.”) through the end of February. Just enter IHAVECAT at check out.
Karen’s own cats are so involved (read “nosey”) when it comes to the goings on of her business she decided to give them official titles. Referring to the photo below she writes, “The kitty on the left is Ash (the art director), in the back is our newest adoption, Moo (the intern) and sleeping soundly on the right is our director of operations (and Ashes twin brother) Shadow.”
Of the photo Karen says “All of the cats are solar powered…this is them charging up for the day’s mischief.” I like the thought of that!
