The EmPURRium Review, Discount Code and Giveaway

Hey all you cat and kitty lovers out there!  The Three Whiskateers, aka:  Shadow, Scooter, and Smudges, want to introduce you to a great shop out there in Etsy land called The EmPURRium!  Clever name right?  And the wonderful woman who runs the shop, a mother to her son, Dominic, three cats, Gabby, Roxy, and Star (pictured below), and her dog, Diesel really knows what she is doing when it comes to making handmade and one-of-a-kind awesome pet products!  Here's a bit about the shop in her own words:

Her inspirations are so adorable!

"Gabby & Roxy's EmPURRium (The EmPURRium) was born in my one bedroom apartment in January 2010 when I started using some fleece scraps to make catnip toys. In March of 2010 I used my measly tax money to buy the materials for collar making. I love to spoil my cats and I could never find cute collars in pet stores for cats.

The EmPURRium is based out of my bedroom on my tiny desk and in a few plastic storage containers. I hand sew every item by myself, mainly at night after work once my baby has gone to bed. I'd love to have a studio some day just for creating collars and toys. Sometimes it's hard to find time to get orders out, but I love doing this.  I love the variety I have in my shop and I try to have a little bit of something for everyone."

And what can you find in her great little shop?  Go check it out for yourself!  She makes a lot of really cute collars, leashes, recycled t-shirt tug toys, and, my personal favorite, catnip mats!  She even loves to do custom requests!  Currently, she is working on making martingale collars and harnesses for dogs and some new cat toys.  So, lots of great new stuff ahead!

And, she so graciously sent The Three Whiskateers product testers a collar and catnip mat to try out and review!  Here's what we got:

This Catnip Mat even came with some yummy catnip to fill it with!

And this super colorful Lego Inspired Breakaway Adjustable Collar!

About Them

The catnip mat measures approx 13" x 9" with a velcro snap pocket to put catnip inside.  It also comes with a starter pouch of catnip.  They come in lots of colors and prints which you can check out here. And, all her collars are made with nylon or polypropylene webbing and then the ribbon is sewn on.  They all come with top quality buckles to finish them off, and even a cute little bell!  The collars come in lots of colors and designs too!  Check em out!

What The Three Whiskateers Thought

First, I filled the catnip mat with catnip (which they could already smell!) and put it on the floor.  All three of them immediately ran over:


And they only had a chance to sniff it before Scooter stole it away (surprise, surprise :p)

Can you see how annoyed they look? :)

Then, when we tried to get it away from him, he refused to let it go.  We picked him up, and he still held onto it..  He definitely loved it!


And so did Shadow and Smudges!


And, the collar looked great on Scooter!  It is well made and very sturdy!


We loved absolutely everything and would highly recommend the shop!  The colors are bright and everything is well made!  All three Whiskateers give The EmPURRium two paws up!

Happy River Dances Spring Catnip Toys Giveaway Event

Hi everyone and welcome to another great giveaway for you and your kitty friends!  We at The Three Whiskateers are so excited about Springtime!  It really doesn't feel much like it here (we had snow on the ground yesterday!)  but that doesn't mean we can't dream right?  And we are not only looking forward to warmer temperatures and sunshine, but one of my favorite things about the Springtime is the bright beautiful colors it brings!  And who says that our kitties can't join in the fun?  So, today we are starting a giveaway for three awesome Spring themed catnip mouse toys from Happy River Dances!

You might remember that about a month ago, The Three Whiskateers reviewed some of their other toys.  You can read all about that right here and visit their Facebook page too.  Our kitties adored those toys, and I know yours would adore these too!

The giveaway is for these three super cute looking catnip mice.


Here's a bit more about them.

Each mouse is handmade and filled with about 3 tablespoons of organic catnip.  Two are made with 100% cotton fabric and the Easter/Butterfly one is made with a flannel material so it's a little tougher and holds up better.

And all three will go to one very lucky winner and their cats of course!  So enter below on the super simple Rafflecopter form because you can't win if you don't enter!


The winner will receive an email which they will have 48 hours to reply to.  This is open WORLDWIDE and will end April 10th so everyone has plenty of time to enter.  If the Rafflecopter is not showing up, look for a link that says “a Rafflecopter giveaway” and click on it. Good luck and have fun!

Elemental Choice Etsy Shop Review and Giveaway

As a pet owner, I love to buy things for my kitties to make them happy.  But, sometimes, it's nice to just get something for myself, the human.  Of course, anything displaying my love of kitties is always a bonus!  And, one store that satisfies this desire is the Elemental Choice Etsy Shop!


Elemental Choice offers paper goods, magnets, and prints from original sketches and watercolor paintings.  They have a large variety of different subjects of their products, like dogs, owls, flowers, custom gifts, and, of course, kitties!  And, get this, a percentage of the profits from the shop go to help make blankets for animals in need!  How awesome is that?!

We were sent two pet-themed magnets and a really cool bookmark to try out.

Both the magnets measure 2.5 x 4 inches and are covered with a thin laminate and adhered to thick magnets.  They are hand-assembled and printed from the artists original designs.  The ones I received seem very well made and sturdy and stick strongly to our refrigerator.

This is the Love Dogs & Cats Magnet.  I love the gorgeous blue color of this one!


It also comes in lots of other fun colors and variations!

  
We also got to try out the Stay Paw-sitive Cat Magnet!

This one is my personal favorite!  The kitty is super cute!  Here's a bit about the inspiration to the magnet in the shop owner's own words:

"Cats are masters of squirming their way out of tough, tight, and seemingly impossible situations. I say if they can do it, we can do it!  When you're having that seemingly impossible day, just remember to "Stay PAW-SITIVE" and keep your determination."


And, last but definitely not least, one of the coolest bookmarks I have ever seen, the Dog Eared Bookmark!  You can find some similar ones like it right here.


This bookmark is super cool because it has two really strong magnets on the inside that stick through the page or pages you are bookmarking, keeping them securely in place.


I have never seen anything quite like this!  It is really awesome :0)  And, I just love the quote.  It is so true.  "Cats aren't our whole lives, but they make our lives whole."  I tried it out on one of my favorite books, "Heaven Is For Real"


More Awesome Stuff

Elemental Choice also offers some other really cool stuff.  Check it out!

This Hello Owl Card is just too cute!!
And this Glass Tile Prince/Princess Cat Necklace is gorgeous!
I also really love this Japanese World Peace Magnet!
And this You Are My Sunshine Glass Tile Necklace!

So, if you are looking for something unique and beautifully made, head over to Elemental Choice!

Oh, and enter below on the Rafflecopter form to win a magnet and bookmark just like the ones I reviewed!  the Love Dogs & Cats Magnet and the Dog Eared Bookmark exactly like the ones pictured.  Remember, you can't win if you don't enter!

The winner will receive an email which they will have 48 hours to reply to.  This is open to the Continental US only and will end April 2nd so everyone has plenty of time to enter.  If the Rafflecopter is not showing up, look for a link that says “a Rafflecopter giveaway” and click on it.
