Win 1 of 3 copies of House Cat.

Just in time for Christmas, this is a covetable gift for cat lovers as well as admirers of stylish interiors.

Cats can be homebodies or intrepid explorers.
Cats can love or loathe their canine counterparts.

But one thing they all share is a natural affinity for a comfortable home filled with sunshine, art and books. House Cat features fifty charismatic cats in the incredible spaces they allow their people to share – from a penthouse above Billionaires’ Row in New York to a Mexican hacienda-inspired home in Los Angeles, complete with nine feline residents.






With stunning photography accompanied by witty text, it is the ultimate pairing of enviable abodes and the confident cats who call them home.

Win 1 of 3 copies of 'The Zen of Cat' - An A–Z of Japanese feline philosophy by Carla Francis!

There's no doubt cats are a meaningful feature of Japanese life: from folklore to fashion, they've left a giant paw print on the culture. 

It's believed that felines first appeared in Japan with the arrival of Buddhism via China in around 552, when their main role was to stop vermin from damaging scriptures.

But what can we learn from these philosophical felines? Surely they can teach us a thing or two, through the wisdom gleaned over the centuries residing in ancient temples and co-existing with artists, courtesans, monks and writers.

The Zen of Cat is interwoven with stories and facts about cats, Japan and Zen philosophy. 

Carla Francis includes discussions with Japanese cat lovers, and invites reflection and 'mindful mewsings' on life through an A-Z of Japanese words to inspire. Cats are unburdened by worry. They maintain an enviable equilibrium. Maybe we too can find our purr-pose?

At this time of year our cat Arya will schedule her naps following the sunbeams around the house, starting with our bed in the mornings and the office chair at lunchtime!

But on those frosty rainy mornings, she's most appreciative of her new Pet-Mat placed on a chair (under a thin cover) and is then unlikely to stir until lunchtime!

So if you too are looking for a safe and cost effective way to keep your own pets warm, check out Pet Mat. It’s an easy way to provide on-demand warmth for your cat/s all winter!

Credit: @smokycat_official
Pet Mat uses a unique touch-activated technology that warms only when the pet is on the mat.

It heats within 5 minutes of contact, and cools when the pet moves on. Your kitty can come and go and always has warm place to come back to.

With very low energy consumption, Pet Mat is an eco-friendly and economical pet heating solution too. You can run Pet Mat 24/7 with similar energy use as a computer on screensaver. With rising electricity costs, it’s a smart choice this winter.

No need to worry about overheating either. Pet Mat will warm between 20-30 degrees above room temperature with a maximum range of 40 degrees. 

It’s easy to clean, easy to store and when properly cared for, can be used year in and year out. 

I'm not coming out until Spring! Unless... you get me a Pet Mat™ Heated Pad!

Win a PetSafe® Automatic 2-Meal Pet Feeder or a Streamside Ceramic Pet Fountain

We may be about to wrap up Pet Hydration Month however from experience we record much higher temps in February, so with everyone heading back to school or work, this is the perfect time to get your paws on a PetSafe® Streamside Ceramic Pet Fountain and other fantastic prizes to make life easier.


Your cat (and dog) needs to drink 70ml of water per 1kg of body weight every day.

Both our cats and dogs are attracted to flowing water.

Pet fountains continuously provide your pets with fresh, filtered water encouraging them to drink more water and more often!


The quiet design of this fountain causes the water to softly bubble over (as opposed to a free-falling stream), which allows shy or timid pets to feel comfortable approaching the fountain. 
The 360-degree design allows your pet to drink from the fountain from any angle!

The fountain uses a pump, carbon filter and foam filter that work together to remove pet hair, saliva and bad tastes from the water, so they always have clean water to drink. 

#1. Prize: PetSafe® Streamside Ceramic Fountain (RRP: $128.99)

✔️ 
1-8 litre water capacity makes it perfect for cats or small dogs
✔️ 360-degree design lets your cat drink water from all sides
✔️ Whisper-quiet bubbling water flow is great for picky or shy pets
✔️ High-quality, scratch-resistant ceramic is hygienic and guaranteed free of heavy metals
✔️ Stylish, modern design blends in with your home décor
✔️ Compact size is perfect for small spaces
✔️ Dual filtration removes pet hair, debris, bad tastes and odours
✔️ Top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean-up; hand wash the pump separately
✔️ Uses Charcoal Filter (PAC19-14088), Foam Filter (PAC19-14089) and Replacement Pump (PAC00-13184)

#2. Prize: PetSafe® Automatic 2 Meal Pet Feeder (RRP: $53.79)

Whether it's breakfast time or snack time, this Automatic 2 Meal Pet Feeder makes scheduling meals simple to ensure you cat is fed right on time!

The easy-to-use dial timers allow you to schedule meals in 1/2 hour increments up to 24 hours in advance

This pet feeder features 2 compartments that each hold up to 1 ½ cups (355 ml) of dry or semi-moist food. Using an automatic pet feeder, you can help control your pets' food portions to help keep them happy and healthy.

Some extra-determined pets might try to use their paws to open an automatic pet feeder ahead of schedule. However this pet feeder was designed with tamper-resistant lids specifically made to keep cat paws from prying open the lids!

It is designed for indoor use only and uses one AA alkaline battery (not included).
When it's time to clean your pet's feeder, simply remove the tray and place it in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Win 1 of 4 copies of "Oliver Kitten's Diary" 


A truly innovative book for cat and kitten lovers — Oliver’s naughty and precocious perceptions of humans will delight, surprise and perhaps even shock you.

Oliver Kitten was born in a firetruck and ends up living with a three-generation multigenerational human family in a four-bedroom house. He keeps a diary of his own escapades and the things he hears and sees his family get up to. At once cute and funny, Oliver is a little naughty and sometimes downright wicked in his precocious observations of the things the humans in his house get up to.

Oliver’s family includes a Scottish grandmother (whose knitting wool has adventures of its own), Clint, a sometime unpredictable two-year-old boy, the father Richard, his wife Nicole, and Lucy, their 13-year-old daughter. Lucy thinks she is Oliver Kitten’s owner and spends her life between the fridge and her bedroom, generally with Oliver in one hand and her phone in the other.

Oliver is a diligent kitten and keeps a daily diary covering everything in his life including paper shredding, leaping, purring, meowing, kneading, scratching, grooming hiding, escaping, finding sleeping places and giving licks and kisses.

Elegantly produced with black and white line drawings, Oliver Kitten’s Diary shows us a kitten evolving into a powerful and smart adult cat with lots of fun, affection, love and adventures.

  • Flexibound, 192 pages
  • Publisher: Exisle Publishing,  November 2022
  • RRP: $29.99. Oliver Kitten's Diary is available from www.exislepublishing.com and wherever good books are sold.

Both help your pet stay hydrated by encouraging them to drink more since they are naturally attracted to moving water (which is awesome) because your pet needs 70 ml of water (per 1 kg they weigh) every day.

This fountain has a shorter base, which gives kittens easier access to the fountain. The fountain also has a raised tray, so even if the power goes out, your pet will still have access to water. 

A charcoal filter, foam filter and fountain pump work together to keep water filtered and cleanThe constant water circulation also helps to prevent the growth of bacteria.

✔️ 1.5 litre water capacity makes it perfect for cats and
small dogs
✔️ Free-falling water encourages cats to drink more and help prevent urinary and kidney diseases through increased hydration

To help your cats feel and look fabulous throughout the winter season, we joined forces with Australian natural pet care company BuddyPet to offer you the chance to trial  their nutrient rich Luna cat supplement, specifically designed for senior cats.

All BuddyPet products were designed by veterinarians and are made with nature’s finest gifts: Australian grown, organic and ethically sourced.

Each of the 3 Hemp Care Prizes for Cats includes:

✔️ 2 x BUDDYPET Luna - Fish & Hemp Oil for Health Support in Senior Cats
  • BUDDYPET Luna (RRP: $30.00) naturally supports your kitty’s health.
Luna
 is a blend of Fish Oil and Hemp Seed Oil. In this delicious blend, fish oil works as an anti-inflammatory agent while hemp seed oil works as an antioxidant to help reduce oxidative stress and slow down ageing. 

The combination of fish oil and hemp seed oil in Luna is a truly collaborative effort to support your cat's health.

Luna's greatest power is the high content of two of the most important compounds in Omega-3: DHA and EPA

  • DHA has benefits for all ages. 
  • EPA’s anti-inflammatory effects are highly beneficial to senior cats, especially those with chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis and kidney disease.

How to Use:

BuddyPet Luna is safe and using the dropper, it should be taken in the recommended dose for your cat's size. Simply add directly to food once a day. Start slowly with 1 drop a day, increasing gradually to 3 drops a day over the course of 10 days.

Whether you’re looking to improve your friend's overall health or you want to focus on certain health conditions, Luna is an excellent way to support your cat in their golden years.

The first winter our cat Arya joined our pack, we were reminded of just how much cats love napping in a warm spot, whether it be that single beam of sunshine or a hot water bottle left in the bed overnight. 

It seems you can never have too many heat sources when you have a cat (or a dog) and we often find all ours curled up on our bed or the couch night or day during the colder months and they enjoy a blanket thrown in for good measure!

If you have a young kitten / puppy, a hairless cat or an elderly cat or one suffering from a chronic condition like arthritis, it's even more essential to keep them warm and comfortable throughout those colder months.


A fantastic option is to provide them with their own heated pad like the Original Pet-Mat™ which uses the latest in Positive Temperature Coefficient Technology.

The Pet-Mat™ is designed to reach a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius whether it is covered or not. In reality, a more practical heat rise of 20-30 degrees Celsius is usually maintained above ambient conditions. 

Since the Pet-Mat™ works on dynamic heat transfer, it should maintain a temperature slightly warm to the touch until body contact is made. It requires very little power to operate which further reduces our carbon footprint, making this device an eco-friendly pet heating option.

It is simply impossible for it to ever overheat ensuring a consistently comfortable and safe use for your cat, even if left on 24/7. 
If you need to clean your Pet-Mat™, simply wash it under running water or just wipe it off with a damp cloth.

 Win 1 of 4 copies of "Cats work like this" by David St John Thomas & Gareth St John Thomas

Cat lovers will adore this must‐have, erudite, tongue‐in‐cheek guide to the inner musings of our feline friends.

Nearly a third of all Australian households keep a cat. That’s a lot of ailurophiles who know that even after ten thousand years of living with cats, no one really has a clue what their cat is thinking!

Cats Work Like This is a humorous romp through the fundamentals of cat behaviour and motivation, offering insight into how they get the most from their humans.

This is an insider’s guide, from a cat’s eye point of view, into the unfathomable mind of the cat, based on the observations of the authors over two generations of watching their own cats work. Filling the gap between prettily written cat biographies and workman like cat care manuals, Cats Work Like This speaks to the pure joy, and not a little eyebrow‐arching perplexity, known exclusively by those who find comfort in the company of cats.
Chapters include Habits, with an insight into how cats train you to have the right ones; and The Scientific Cat, with observations and empirical learning following the classic scientific method, as cats are natural sceptics requiring hard data to confirm their working theories.

Find out what cats do while you sleep, what a cat’s eyes can tell you and what there is to understand about political and ‘eco’ cats. With a focus on attention, emotion, cute affection, manipulation, cunning and cussedness, Cats Work Like This gives a rare insight into the elusive workings of a cat’s mind.

Hardcover: 176 pages
Publisher: Exisle Publishing, April 2022

RRP: $34.99.

Win a PetSafe® Drinkwell® Butterfly Fountain for Pet Hydration Month!
A fountain just as unique and charming as its name, the PetSafe® Butterfly Pet Fountain makes sure your cat always has access to fresh, flowing water.

The cute, butterfly topper isn’t just for looks! It creates 4 free-falling water streams for your cat to drink from, or you can remove the butterfly topper for a quiet, bubbling water flow. 

Both help your pet stay hydrated by encouraging them to drink more since they are naturally attracted to moving water (which is awesome) because your pet needs 70 ml of water per 1 kg they weigh every day.


This fountain has a shorter base, which gives kittens easier access to the fountain. The fountain also has a raised tray, so even if the power goes out, your cat will still have access to water. 

The wide tray is whisker-friendly, which keeps your cat’s sensitive whiskers from touching the sides while drinking.

A charcoal filter, foam filter and fountain pump work together to keep water filtered and clean. The constant water circulation also helps to prevent the growth of bacteria.

Key Features of the Drinkwell® Butterfly Pet Fountain:

✔️ 1.5 litre water capacity makes it perfect for cats and
small dogs
✔️ Free-falling water encourages pets to drink more and help prevent urinary and kidney diseases through increased hydration
✔️ Butterfly topper creates 4 free-falling streams
✔️ Remove the topper to create a quiet, bubbling water flow
✔️ Raised tray gives your cat access to water even if the power goes out
✔️ Shorter fountain base makes this fountain great for kittens too
✔️ Wide tray keeps your cat’s sensitive whiskers from touching the sides
✔️ Dual filtration removes pet hair, debris, bad tastes and odours
✔️ Top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean-up; handwash the pump separately
✔️ Uses Charcoal Filter (PAC19-14088) and Foam Filter (PAC19-14089)
✔️BPA-free plastic

Most cats are heat-seeking missiles who usually make a beeline for any ray of sunshine, open fires or heaters during winter! Ours loves nothing more than to curl up on a blanket in the sun...

When you have a hairless cat, a young kitten or an elderly pussycat suffering from arthritis or recovering from surgery, it's even more essential to keep them warm and comfortable throughout winter.

A great option is to provide them with their own heated pad like the Original Pet-Mat™ which is using the latest in Positive Temperature Coefficient Technology.

The 
Pet-Mat™ is designed to reach a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius whether it is covered or not. In reality, a more practical heat rise of 20-30 degrees Celsius is usually maintained above ambient conditions. 

Since the Pet-Mat™ works on dynamic heat transfer, it should maintain a temperature slightly warm to the touch until body contact is made. 
It is simply impossible for it to ever overheat ensuring a consistently comfortable use for your pet, even if left on 24/7.

For vets, utilising a Pet-Mat during and after surgery can also be a huge benefit to your patient.

To clean your 
Pet-Mat™ you can wash it under running water or just wipe it off with a damp washer.

Scooping stinks! Cleaning out the cat's litter tray has to be the least favourite part of being a cat parent...

But there is an easier way which is why we teamed up with PetSafe Australia and Ready Pet Go to give away one of their ScoopFree® Ultra self-cleaning litter boxes.

The automatic rake system sweeps waste into the covered compartment either 5, 10, or 20 minutes (your choice) after your cat uses the litter box. 

Safety sensors will detect if your cat re-enters the box and the timer will reset. 

The litter box uses a special crystal litter, packed in a convenient disposable litter tray, that's 5 times more effective at reducing odour than clay or clumping littersPlus, the low-tracking crystals are 99% dust free and won’t stick to your cat’s paws whilst the hooded cover helps keep the kitty litter inside the box!

 Win 1 of 3 copies of "The Cat with Three Passports" by CJ Fentiman:

CJ had a long history of escaping places and people she wasn't fond of. But for the sake of a silver tabby, she decided to stay in Japan for a while. This decision helped her open up her heart and mind, revisit her way of thinking, and reconnect with her estranged family. 

Let this heartwarming memoir take you to the land of cats and cherry trees as you read about CJ's adventures - from the craziness of Furukawa's naked men festival, the experience of forest bathing and the significance of finding a life purpose or ikigai, to the temples of Takayama, and wonders of Cat Island - you'll see what a homeless kitten found outside a temple in Japan taught her about an old culture and new beginnings. 

"This is CJ’s story of her time in Japan, plus the cats she meets and adopts along the way. 

There are some references to tourist spots, but mostly this book is about the experience of living and working in Japan. Also, of course about rescuing Gershwin the kitten, and their life together and with other cats. 

This book will appeal to  anyone thinking of teaching English abroad and of course, anyone with a love of cats and/or an interest in Japan." (Goodreads review).

Paperback: 234 pages

Cats sleep an average of fifteen hours a day but when they're awake, it's usually in the middle of the night and they need to tell you all about their adventures ... 

For those midnight sessions when you really don't feel like getting involved, the PetSafe FroliCat® Automatic Cat Teasers are there to save the day - or your night!

Whether you're working from home and need to reclaim your desk space or you're worried about your cat getting bored or anxious if you're away for long hours, interactive cat toys help keep your kitty physically active and entertained for hours!

All four cat toys could not be easier to set up and use either 3 x AA or 3 x AAA batteries. 
Easily swap between toys if you’re only going to use one or two that day. 

Depending on your cat's age and personality, you're sure to find one to suit:

1) RoloRat Cat Toy
This automatic cat teaser resembling a large mouse comes complete with ears, whiskers and tail and will make your cat drool!

It rolls around randomly whilst making clicking noises and changes directions multiple times. Even when its path is blocked by furniture, it will redirect itself after a few seconds.

2) Fox Den Cat Toy


Without contest, this was definitely Arya's favourite toy as a kitten and it was on high rotation for a couple of months...


The Fox Den Cat Toy teases your cat with a very realistic fox tail. The sly fox hides in his den, waiting to shake his fuzzy tail at your unsuspecting cat! 


Both the FroliCat™ Rolorat and Fox Den Toy Automatic Cat Teasers offer a "Play-While-You-Are-Away" feature allowing you to set play sessions for your cat while you are not there.


3) FroliCat® ZIP Automatic Laser Light

"Missed it by THAT much! Sorry, kitty you need to try again!"
First, a word of caution regarding operating all laser light toys. You should never look directly into them or the reflection as laser radiation is emitted. This toy is to be kept away from small children and should be used under strict supervision with your pets

Most cats love the challenge of catching the red dot! The FroliCat™ ZIP Automatic Laser Light rolls around the floor in a random motion, displaying a single laser beam behind it for 10 minutes before powering off. Once your cat gets the hang of this game, you can look forward to lots of blurry pictures...

4) FroliCat® Multi-Laser Toy

If you have multiple cats, the FroliCat® Multi-Laser Toy is the one for you! Get all your cats involved in chasing after two lasers rotating in a 360 degreerandom pattern. For convenience (and safety), the toy will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of play time.

Discover these and more options at store.intl.petsafe.net/en-au/play-challenge/

Now that we have a cat, we remember how much they love the heat in winter. They'll steal your seat in the sun or make a beeline for any blanket, heater or open fire on cold days! Our own cat Arya is demanding to sleep in the bedroom, nestled between us and the dogs...

If you have a hairless cat, a young kitten or a senior cat or one suffering from a medical condition like cat arthritis, it's even more essential to keep them warm and comfortable throughout winter.

We're very excited about the launch of Sure Petcare's SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder Connect and you will be too when you discover all it can do for your pet!

This is definitely one of the top pet tech gadgets we have come across in the past four years but it is also incredibly useful for a pet owner (ideal for cats and small dogs).

This smart feeder will monitor how much and when your cat eats and will send real-time notifications directly to your smartphone via the free Sure Petcare app. This product also features integrated scales, which means you can deliver an accurate food portion at every meal. 


This is a must-have for households where pets are on either prescription diets or weight management programs. You can still feed your pet any type of diet: dry, wet or raw or a mix using the half bowls configuration.

Over time, the app will gather comprehensive data about your cat's unique feeding patterns, making it easier to spot any changes in their health and wellbeing early on.

The SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder Connect uses your cat’s identification microchip (or Sure Petcare collar tag which is provided), as a unique “key”, allowing only the authorised pet to access the food in the bowlNo more dogs stealing the cat's food!

You can give friends, family and pet sitters access to the Sure Petcare app so that you can see your pet is being properly fed whilst you are away. There are so many cool features, you'll need to watch this video!

 

** Win a SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder Connect & Hub **
(Total Prize Value*: $348)

Your Prize* will include:

✔️ SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect 
✔️ 1 x single food type bowl and bowl supports 
✔️ 2 x half bowls and bowl supports (to be used together when feeding two different types of food) 
✔️ 1 x mat (to collect food spills) 
✔️ 1 x Sure Petcare RFID Collar Tag (for non-microchipped pets) 
 
✔️ Sure Petcare Hub to connect the SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect with the Sure Petcare app (free to download on the App store or Google Play). Also compatible with the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap Connect and Microchip Pet Door Connect.

Cats sleep an average of fifteen hours a day but when they're awake, they certainly let you know about it and need to be kept busy if you want to get anything done ...

Despite being a dutiful slave, you may not always be available for their play sessions throughout the day and this is when automatic cat teasers like those in the PetSafe FroliCat® range come in very handy!


Interactive cat toys keep your kitty active, entertaining your cat for hours whether you're at home or away. Our cat Arya's favourite is the FroliCat® Fox Den Toy Automatic Cat Teaser. 

This is a motion activated toy that lets your cat play all day (10 min sessions). The Fox Den Toy teases your cat with a realistic fox tail. The sly fox hides in his den, waiting to shake his fuzzy tail at your unexpecting cat!

Most cats are heat-seeking missiles who usually make a beeline for any blankets, heaters or open fires in winter! 

If you have a hairless cat, a young kitten or an elderly pussycat or one suffering from medical conditions like arthritis, it's even more essential to keep them warm and comfortable throughout winter.


A great option is to provide them with their own heated pad like the Original Pet-Mat™ which is using the latest in Positive Temperature Coefficient Technology.

The 
Pet-Mat™ is designed to reach a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius whether it is covered or not. In reality, a more practical heat rise of 20-30 degrees Celsius is usually maintained above ambient conditions. 

Since the Pet-Mat™ works on dynamic heat transfer, it should maintain a temperature slightly warm to the touch until body contact is made. 
It is simply impossible for it to ever overheat ensuring a consistently comfortable use for your pet, even if left on 24/7.

To clean your 
Pet-Mat™ you can wash it under running water or just wipe it off with a damp washer.
