Customer Review: Attractive and Roomy
I bought this for my cats, in case they find themselves outside during poor weather. I placed it close to the front door of the house so that they could run in fast if it was raining. (That was my reasoning, anyway - animals always seem to have their own plans.) I don’t know if they hang out in it, but I do know that when I placed each one in it, he/she did not immediately run out, but stayed long enough to sniff around (the cedar smells great). I assume that they know it belongs to them. The little house is attractive, well built, and easily put together in a few minutes with a Phillips screwdriver. I took the time to make a few improvements, which may or may not be necessary, depending on where you live. To protect the house from the harsh sun, sand, and termites here in north Florida, I built a 4′ x 4′ pallet of pressure treated lumber to get it off the ground, which also provides a small porch for sunning and keeps water from splashing in from the ground. I gave it a coating of Behr’s (from Home Depot) on the outside, to make it that much more weather resistant. I cut to size (with a utility knife) a piece of insulation board for the floor of the house, because the slats there are not air tight and would let in cold air - definitely something a cat would reject. Finally, I faced the door to the southeast, for shelter against the cold north air, and nailed a piece of exterior/interior carpeting with a slit in it to the inside of the door. Another possibility is to line the inside with a reflective coating of some kind, perhaps one of those camping emergency blankets, or insulation that has a reflective surface. I put in a round, padded cat bed with a hood (that the cats were already familiar with), in the back corner away from the door. There is enough room inside for two cats to lie down, if they are friendly. All my improvements cost very little in time or money, and I feel assured that my little friends are safely out of the weather when they need to be.
Customer Review: outback dog house
I live in Wyoming and purchased this small dog house for my cat. The product assembled easily and is as presented by the vendor. I love the offset doorway which allows for food and offsets the wind.

Multipet Bada Beam Cat Toy
Automatic laser chaser cats just love! Aim it at the wall, aim it at the floor. Laser beam circles, pauses, circles again.
List Price: $22.49
Amazon Price: $13.24
Customer Review: my cat is not interested!
The laser just spins in a repeated circle. There is no randomness. My cats don’t pay any attention to it. We end up using it like our old laser pointer and moving the laser around ourselves. So much for being a toy you can just set on the floor and let it to the work for you. Don’t waste your money.
Customer Review: Great Distraction
While the Bada Beam will never replace human interaction, this toy has been a lifesaver for us. We have 3 active cats, and they typically are the most active at night when we are trying to sleep. The Bada Beam has been a lifesaver in that respect. We have it set up very high off the floor- on top of a bookcase and on an angle (it sits halfway on a book to get the right angle) so the beam path is fairly large. We turn it on right before we go to bed so it distracts them long enough (about 15 minutes) for us to fall asleep. The beam seems to have a better effect in the dark, as well, so it keeps the cats busy. At times, they just stare at it as if in a trance, while other times, they seem much more interested. In both cases, they are not jumping around in our bed, so everyone is happy. Interactive toys develop trust and a strong bond between cats and their owners- the Bada Beam could never replace a typical laser pointer or a cat dancer. However, we have found a great use for it that made it worth every penny. Sure, it could have been engineered better, but I quite enjoy playtime with my cats anyway!
