Cat Houses, Catios and Enclosures: A Feline Friendly Buying Guide
Your cat is an important member of your family, and we want to give them the best experience while they live with us. Whether they live entirely indoors or spend a couple of hours outdoors, cats enjoy security and a comfortable space to play, nap, and observe their surroundings. While they enjoy the company of your family, they will appreciate having a separate area to call their own. Cat patios or “catios” are the perfect solution. They can be built indoors, outdoors, or even appended to a home. Whether these are full-fledged patios or stand-alone enclosures, these structures are designed to give cats a sense of adventure, security, and provide safe access to the outside world. Why Buy a Catio? Cats are known to sleep anywhere — your lap, bed, couch, and even freshly laundered clothing are all viable options. A cathouse provides a safe and secure place for them to rest. They are not keen to sleep in the open where they might be vulnerable. An enclosed space away from bustling family activities are ideal, allowing the cat to take their normal 16-hour naps throughout the day. Cat houses can also be built with multiple levels to provide opportunities for their natural climbing abilities. They will eventually be able to pick up their favorite perch and survey their surroundings. When placed near a window, cats will be entertained for hours as they look at birds and squirrels scurry by. Most cat houses and cat enclosures are built with scratching posts that are built into their feature, helping cats keep their claws trimmed and engaged in their natural scratching behavior without ruining your personal property. If you have an outdoor cat, a cathouse will also provide shelter from the elements. This is particularly important if you are hosting a friendly feral cat that can accommodate your presence but are keen to hunt outdoors. What Are the Different Types of Catios? Indoor catios. Indoor cat enclosures allow your cat to be entertained while also being restrained indoors. There is a myriad of reasons for doing this — indoor cat enclosures can be used to acquaint a new cat to its new household, protect elderly cats from rambunctious kittens, providing access to a cat that may need medicine that likes to hide in an elevated spot; with cages also being used to restrained fearful cats so they can become habituated to living with humans. Indoor cat enclosures can be a standalone wire cages that are built with platforms, ramps, and flooring that can have kitty litter on it. They are affordable and will keep your cat safe. They are also easy to collapse and move when need be. The cat condo is similar to the metal cages but has an open floor plan without the metal brackets. They are resistant to fading, scratching, mildew, and water. Outdoor enclosures. Outdoor enclosures are designed to give your cat access to the outdoors whenever they need. They are designed a lot like their indoor counterparts but have features that will allow them to be better insulated. These outdoor cat houses are also waterproof and are designed to withstand the elements. Some may not have waterproofing and are intended to be built under an awning or a roof. The cat tree. This represents more than just a cathouse, this type of furniture has several levels which may include toys, scratching posts, and holes where cats can wiggle through. They are designed to either be enclosed or have an open frame. Many trees may be small with just a few levels, or some might be so big that they can take up the wall of an entire room. The Material of The Catio Is Important The material of your Furniture and enclosures are of utmost importance — you want an enclosure that is built with materials that are easy to clean, are durable, and can withstand scratching. You also want to make sure that any porous materials are laminated. Untreated wood, while beautiful, is not ideal because it might break down due to cats scratching it, creating a choking hazard, as well as absorb the spraying from cats, causing odors. Catios are designed with plastic, carpeted plywood, plush fabric, canvas, and different types of treated wood. For outdoor enclosures, they are usually made from plastic or treated wood. For the best durability, invest in a catio that uses a combination of wood or plywood. Sizing. When it comes to the size of your cat enclosures and furniture, you can let your imagination run free. Many standalone, indoor cat enclosures can take up a small corner of your home. But for those who have space, you can have large enclosures that are built with scratching posts, kitty box litters, ramps, archways, and toys built in that can be built indoors but also have parts of it be built outdoors for the cat to have access to the outside world whenever they want. Many homeowners have gone full out, with the ramps that scattered near their ceilings, and entryways that go indoors and outdoors. Ideally, you want a cat enclosure that has several entryways. Style. While your cat won’t care much about the aesthetics of their enclosure or catio, you have the option of picking a cat house that matches the color scheme or decor of your home. Thankfully you can find cat houses and enclosures in different styles and color schemes. You have the option of picking high-end cat houses that look like a table, or basic plus models that are made from canvas. What Other Features Should You Look for When Picking a Cat Enclosure Heating. If you’re going to purchase an outdoor cat enclosure in an area with inclement weather, then ideally you want it to have a built-in heating enclosure where a cat can go to warm up and protect. Depending on the cat house, they may need to be electrically powered, with several houses having built-in insulating materials that do not require an active heating element. Accessibility. For indoor enclosures, you might need to move the enclosure in a pinch. For easier access, make sure that these are built with wheels so you can easily transport the cat house. Scratching posts. As with any cat owner, you probably know that cats like to scratch. It stretches their paws, helps to de-shed their claws, and will ensure that their weapons are properly working. You will find also that an enclosure that has a built-in scratching post will deter your cat from destroying your furniture. Hanging toys. Hanging toys will entertain your cat, and will save time and money. No longer do you need to buy a separate toy for them to be entertained since the cathouse will have several toys built-in. Built-in litter tray. If the enclosure is big enough, then a litter tray will be appropriate. While they are not known to defecate in areas where they nap and play, a large enough outdoor catio can have an appropriate litter box. Costs of Catios and Cat Enclosures Some of the more basic, wire mesh patios can be several dozen dollars. However, they may not be feature-rich or offer enrichment for your cat. Typically these are only made with a couple of ramps for your cat. Mid-range cat houses can be upwards of $100. These are larger, are usually indoor enclosures, and have a big enough footprint for one or two cats to play it. More expensive cat houses are made with top-quality wood and are elaborate. For outdoor enclosures, they can be several hundred dollars. These are cat enclosures that are the size of a room and are built with perches, ramps, tunnels, toys; with some even having insulated enclosures to protect your cat from inclement weather. Regardless of its cost, consider where you are going to place the cat house. They can be rather large and take up space in the home. Ideally, indoor enclosures should be placed away from foot traffic, in an inconspicuous corner that allows a cat to survey the surrounding from a safe spot. An outdoor cat house should be positioned in a secluded spot, typically somewhere in the backyard. This will ensure that they have access to birds, squirrels, and small critters that may entertain them while also being away from loud cars, nosy neighbors, and persistent foot traffic. Outdoor enclosures should be against a wall, in a back corner of a fence, or near the entrance of your home’s garage. From improving and maintaining a cat’s physical and mental health to ensuring your cat’s happiness and safety, there are plenty of reasons why you want to invest in a catio or enclosure. They can be small to accommodate apartment living, or large and luxurious with several floors that have entryways to the outside world. The one that you choose for your feline family members largely depends on your budget and available space. No matter the type of enclosure that you get for your cat, it will significantly impact their health and overall mood. -
Introducing a New Puppy to Your Older Dog
It’s no secret that I’m a dedicated dog mom. When I’m not here in the office, you can usually find me at the dog park or on the trails with my canine companions. This summer, I brought home my second dog, an eight-week-old Australian Cattle Dog puppy. My senior Australian Shepherd was less than thrilled with our new blender with legs. Helping them bond and form a close friendship was no small feat, but with a lot of planning and patience, they’ve finally hit their stride as a dynamic duo. Just like people, dogs are individuals who have their own personalities. When going through an adjustment period (like bringing a new puppy home), remember to be patient, and be open to trying new training techniques. Techniques that work for some might not work for you and your dog. You know your dog and his needs better than anyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all guide to introducing dogs and helping them bond. Just keep at it, and when you find something that works for you, stick with it! Congratulations on Your New Family Member! Ready to bring home your new puppy? This handy guide can help make the transition easier on you and your older dogs. Acclimating Your Dog to The New Puppy Your older dog WILL be jealous of the puppy. Puppies require an extraordinary amount of time and attention- attention that your older dog is used to soaking up all by himself. Fortunately, puppies sleep a lot. Take advantage of naptime to take a stroll or play a quick game of fetch with your older dog. It’s important to actively work to strengthen your bond with your dog during this time. My dog is a working breed. This means that I have to give him a job to do so that he feels like an important member of the household and doesn’t get bored. Sometimes the job is simply “Keep the floor free of food bits while I cook.” We both benefit from him doing this job. Make sure that your older dog feels extra loved and spoiled during this transitional time. Neglecting your dog for the puppy can cause resentment, which will make it difficult for your dogs to bond with each other. Giving each dog some one on one attention will help alleviate feelings of resentment. When interacting with your dog and puppy together, be sure to make the experience positive by rewarding both dogs with treats and praise. Bedtime at Its Best Is your dog is coming up on his senior years? Consider investing in an orthopedic pet bed to minimize pressure on his joints and relieve arthritis pain. A memory foam dog bed like this one from PawHut can provide your dog with an ultra comfortable place to nap. Getting good, restful sleep means your dog will feel better and have more energy to play with (or at least tolerate) your puppy. Puppies are used to sleeping with their littermates. They can get lonely at night, especially when you first bring them home. A heated pet bed can help your puppy settle down and sleep through the night. This bed has a soft plush design and the heater pad is removable, so you can easily clean the bed if your puppy has an accident. The smaller size of this bed makes it super cozy for little puppies and fits perfectly inside their crate. If you live in a warmer climate, a raised pet bed can help your dog stay cool. Air circulates under the bed, keeping it cool, and the hammock-like fabric design can relieve pressure on joints. My dogs use this type of bed as a launch pad/ trampoline when zooming around the house chasing each other, which is an unexpected bonus feature. Getting Around Pet stairs and ramps can be great tools for both older dogs and puppies. Whether your dog has limited mobility because of joint pain or arthritis, or just because she has tiny little legs, these mobility aids can be super helpful in getting your dogs where they need to go. My older dog has no problem jumping into the car for a trip to the beach. Leaving the beach is another story, however. Once he’s worn out from trotting up and down the Oregon Coast for several hours, getting back into the car is a struggle. Tired of lifting my wet, sandy dog into the car, I bought a ramp so he can walk himself up. This ramp from PawHut folds up for convenient compact storage in the car. The ramp was great for the puppy, too, when she was too little to jump up into the car. If your older dog is having mobility issues and can’t move around like he used to, invest in pet stairs for your home. These pet stairs from PawHut double as storage, and the thick carpeting makes them easy for little paws to climb. Pet stairs make it easy for your dog to get to his favorite spot on the couch or on the bed. Dining with Doggos Feeding time can be a challenge with two dogs. Even when you give them the exact same thing, they always think that the other one is getting something better or more interesting. To avoid conflict, make sure they have their own individual space to eat. Raised pet food bowls give them a designated place to eat and keeps them out of each other’s personal space. I recommend getting one set per dog so that they each have their own food and water bowls. I don’t mind them drinking each other’s water but always feed them in their own bowls. Eating from elevated food bowls helps to aid in digestion and reduces neck strain. Using a raised dish and a designated eating place will help your puppy establish good habits and dinner time manners. Crate Training and Utilizing Gates Puppies are really, really good at getting into trouble. No matter how well you puppy- proof your house, they’ll still find something to destroy. For example, my shoes might be safe, but all of my furniture now has teeth marks in it. The best solution is to crate train your puppy! My puppy loves her crate. She puts herself to bed in it every night when she gets tired. The crate should be a safe, secure place for your puppy to sleep and hang out while you’re not home. Never use the crate as a punishment, but rather present it as a special, safe place for her to sleep. To encourage her to see it as a positive place to be, give her treats and extra good chews to enjoy while she’s in it. You can also place an article of your clothing in the crate with her. Accidents are bound to happen, though, so make sure it’s one that you no longer want. Using a crate keeps your puppy out of trouble and gives your older dog a break, too. We carry a variety of sizes of dog crates to choose from. Get a crate that will be big enough for your dog once she is full grown. If your older dog is crate trained, great! His crate can be a safe space to get away from the puppy. We stopped using the crate for my older dog when he was about a year old. In retrospect, I think that this was a mistake. The crate is a great tool to keep your dog secure when traveling or having people come to your home. Sometimes, your dogs are going to annoy each other. I use a pet gate to separate my dogs and give them a break from each other. Don’t feel guilty for doing this. It’s better to separate them and enforce their personal space than to let them push each other into snapping. Being separated doesn’t have to be a punishment; I use the gate to corral them into separate rooms and stuff their Kong toys with peanut butter to keep them distracted. My older dog is a grumpy old man and can only take so much of the puppy jumping on his face and biting his tail. Taking a break from each other while enjoying a special treat helps him recharge for another round of puppy play. Training and Exercise A great way to reinforce your bond with your older dog is by doing some training activities. You actually can teach an old dog new tricks! If your dog has joint or mobility issues, a low impact activity is great. This agility set is versatile enough to be a great choice for any dog, regardless of size, age, or ability. Training sessions give you some one on one time with your dog and help build his confidence. You can also use the agility set with your puppy to help build a strong bond with her. Training is crucial to having a well trained, well socialized dog. I use an agility set as a supplement to puppy classes to help her burn some energy and practice listening to commands at home. Don’t forget the most basic of dog exercise activities- the walk! Walking around your neighborhood or local park is a great way to exercise your dogs and yourself. Living in a super pet friendly city like Portland gives me lots of options for walking my dogs. Depending on your goals, you may choose to walk your dogs separately or together. I recommend walking them separately, because it allows you to bond with your dogs individually. It also lets you work with your puppy one on one to learn good leash manners. Walking them together can help them bond with each other by giving them a common purpose or goal, although their common goal often seems to be to pull me into traffic or into the creek. Take Care of Your Whole Pack Bringing home a new puppy can be stressful. No matter how cute and cuddly your little ball of fluff is, you’re bound to get tired and frustrated sometimes. Don’t forget to take time for yourself. Being a patient dog parent is hard when you’re exhausted. Recently, I started taking my puppy to doggy daycare two or three days a week. This has been a life saver. I drop her off in the morning, and she spends the whole day playing and socializing with other dogs and the staff. When I pick her up she is calm and sleepy. I get to spend the evening having quality time with my older dog and quiet time to myself. Once your puppy has all of her vaccinations, sign her up for a doggy daycare. The daycare will help her learn to socialize with other dogs and expend a lot of excess energy. This will give your older dog a break from her, and give you some free time while she sleeps it off. Treat Yo Self! A great way to keep your puppy entertained and your older dog happy is to supply them with some delicious natural chews. Right now, my dogs are obsessed with pig and cow hooves from our local pet supply store. Sure, they smell terrible, but it keeps the dogs happy and busy. Natural chews such as hooves, bones, horns, and antlers promote good dental hygiene and will keep your dogs entertained for hours. Never give your dogs cooked bones from your kitchen, as they can easily splinter and cause dangerous intestinal issues. Pet supply stores carry pork and beef bones that have been specially treated to avoid this and are much safer to give to your pets. I also avoid rawhide chews as they can cause intestinal blockages. Don’t be afraid to give your dogs treats to encourage good behavior. Both of my dogs are highly food motivated, so I bribe them with food constantly. Teaching a new trick? Give treats. Going for a walk? Give some more treats. Putting your puppy in her crate? Shower her in treats. Using the gate to confine your older dog to the kitchen? You guessed it, treats! I find that it’s most cost effective to buy treats from the bulk section at my local pet supply store rather than buying pre-packaged treats. You can also experiment with dog friendly foods you probably have in your kitchen, such as apples and carrots. Always do a quick Google search before giving your dog something new. Foods such as grapes and onions might be great for humans, but are dangerous for dogs. My dogs go crazy for sweet potatoes, cucumbers, and cheese, so experiment and find out your dog’s favorite food! No End in Sight? Teething, potty training, and general insanity: I promise it will end. Play biting starts to taper off significantly around 5 months. Destructive chewing will probably stop within a few more months. Once your puppy loses her little needlepoint puppy teeth and starts growing those big girl teeth, if you have been consistent about correcting play biting, it will almost magically end. My puppy just lost her last baby tooth, and I’ve already noticed much less chomping. Potty training is hard. Some dogs pick it up quickly, some do not. It’s normal to feel hopeless and like your puppy will never learn to go outside, but don’t give up. My older dog was potty trained at 10 weeks. My puppy wasn’t potty trained until 16 weeks. Don’t lose hope! It will happen. Be consistent. For extra help, I use forums like Reddit to get dog training advice and support. Dogs are a lot of work, but it’s worth it when you come home to happy faces and wagging tails. If your dogs aren’t best friends yet, keep being patient and positive, and utilize some of the strategies in this article. With a little luck, your furry friends will be besties in no time! -

Top 5 Tips on Buying an Ironing Board
No one thinks ironing is fun. In fact, it is one of the more tedious housekeeping tasks known to man; it can only be made better if you have the right equipment to do it faster and more efficiently. Unfortunately, people often overlook the importance of ergonomic and sturdy ironing boards. Let’s find out the benefits of a quality ironing board and where you can find one! Why Is an Ironing Board Important? It’s common for people to iron their clothes on any surface. For example, they might use an old table as an ironing board or use their beds if they need a softer worktop. The constant exposure to heat isn’t just bad for those surfaces, but also the clothes being ironed; not to mention, it can wreak havoc on your back. When you are doing a tedious task like this, comfort is its only saving grace. You don’t want to be arched over a table trying to iron your clothes and have your back give out by the end of it. Thirdly, stability is a key factor in an ironing table. You cannot get any work done when you’re spending half your time keeping the table from bobbing and shaking. This will also affect the ironing and risk you burning your clothes while keeping the table from moving. Finally, the space. Once you are done with ironing, you would want to pack up the ironing board and put it away, so it does not affect the décor of your room. Unfortunately, tables cannot be stored away and are usually quite heavy. 5 Tips for Buying an Ironing Table Now that we know why getting the right ironing table is essential, buying one is the next step. Consider the following factors before you put down your hard-earned money on one. Height Hunching over the ironing table is never good, especially if you have many clothes to iron. Consequently, if you prefer a seated ironing table but buy one that’s too high, you will not be able to iron any clothes. The key to good ironing is comfort. Therefore, you need to pay close attention to the height of the ironing table. For example, if you opt for a seated ironing table, the height should be around 60cm. Or you could buy an adjustable one that moves between 90cm to 102cm for a standing table. Length The length of an ironing board is usually not an issue for people who use it sporadically. A longer board can make a difference for professional tailors. Longer boards mean you can get a lot of ironing done faster. Stability An iron can get as hot as 4500F, which is enough to melt your skin, making it a safety hazard. If the board is not stable, you can risk dropping a hot iron, leading to severe complications. When buying an ironing board, put some weight on it to see how sturdy it is and ensure it doesn’t tip over. Storage Depending on your house or the room where you will keep your ironing board, it is important to consider space. You can get a large variety of foldable ironing boards and be packed away once ironing is done. This helps you keep the décor of your room without having a stray ironing table in the middle of it. Weight The perfect ironing table is lightweight and easy to move around. This way, you won’t have any trouble setting it up as and when convenient. But, a foldable design is even better because you can quickly put it away once you are done. Heat Resistance Irons get hot, and if your ironing board isn’t suitably heat resistant, there is a chance that you might damage your table. Although ironing boards are not exactly a massive investment like other items, it is still impractical to get a new one every time the old one gets dinked. An ironing board with better heat resistance has a longer lifespan. Padding and Covers Quality ironing boards already have padding stapled onto them, a cover of heat-resistant fabric on top of it. Thicker padding of 8mm or greater is always better when buying an ironing stand. The more expensive versions may have other layers on top of the fabric on top. For example, they could be covered in cotton or silicone to keep the clothes from sticking together when hot and to regulate the heat of the iron. Additionally, if the top cover isn’t to your liking and you’d instead get different colors, the furniture manufacturers will likely have several color and fabric options. So, you can buy as many as you like. Conclusion Getting an ironing board might not seem important because, at the root of it, it is just a flat table you use to iron your clothes, and that can be done with any table. That being said, having an ironing board in your house is just as important as having the iron itself. So the next step is to go out there and get an ironing board you like. If you are looking for an ironing table for your home, Aosom has got you covered. We offer a wide selection of ironing boards with different heights, weights, and sizes to help you find the perfect ironing board for your house. So visit Aosom and get the ideal ironing table for you.
