Canine Cat Scratcher
In this particular battle of cats vs. dogs, Fluffy clearly comes out on top. This amusing cat scratcher is shaped like a Bull Terrier and may just be the perfect thing to get some of that anti-Fido aggression out.

Holiday Lynks Felted Wool Cat Toys
Don't forget the stocking stuffers! These toys, designed and made by Gerda Lobo exclusively for Moderncat Studio, are crocheted from 100 percent Peruvian Highland wool and felted several times to get the perfect texture that kitties love. And just think: With toys this soft, they won't hurt when you step on them in the middle of the night!

Wave Burlap Tunnel With Crinkle Sound
Cats love to hide, and they love things that crinkle, so is there any chance your kitty won't fall in love with this crinkly little hideaway? Oh, and there's catnip in a hidden pouch inside the tunnel, just in case your feline needs a bit more persuasion.

Music for Cats
Your cat might not share your affinity for Adele, but that's OK; there's music made just for your kitty. There are several songs that you can listen to and download. At only $1.99 each, why not try them out and see if your cat responds to the "relaxing" one or the "energizing" one?

Leaving your pet's food bowls on the floor is so 2011. Did you know that all the cool cats are eating from sleek modernist wall-mounted bowls?

Christmas Cat Ball
Searching for something handmade for the holidays? The Cat Ball has two openings, one large and one small for crawling in and out. And the whole thing can be smashed and pushed and still pops back up (seen here). While we love the Christmas motif in the photo, it's also available in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
