Happy 4th of July!

It’s supposed to rain here in NYC so not sure yet if I’ll be battling the crowds or watching from my apartment this Independence Day.

Petie is in festive attire but will be celebrating indoors in my upstairs bedroom – the quietest room in the apartment.

Whatever your plans may be, make sure to think about how the 4th of July fireworks impact your furry household members.

I wrote a piece for The Cat Channel titled “10 Tips to Happy Cats This Fourth of July” I urge you to read it (and feel free to come back here and comment with additional tips you have for our readers).

And just for fun, I’m reprising an old post featuring cat products MADE IN THE USA from 2012 titled “Born in the USA.”

Since I wrote that article there are a few more products you may have seen on this site I’d like to feature in the spirit of patriotism!  Polydactyl Cats and Xenotees – whimsical catnip filled cat toys and fun modern aesthetically designed  pet-themed products for humans!

Enjoy the fireworks and do a little “Made in the USA” shopping during commercial breaks!
