noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:54:00 +0000

We hate to say I told you so but.......we've added a few more cat collars to the site, 5 in total! These wonderful elasticated softweave collars actually stretch should your cat become caught on something whilst out about town. These are the first 100% elasticated collars we've listed on the site and were totally impressed with how they work. Another plus point is that the collars are totally adjustable, they can fit any size neck perfectly because there are no pre cut holes.

Available in Pink, Black, Blue, Red and Blue with red spots just £3.99!

Pet only airline launch in the US

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:32:00 +0000

The worlds first pet only airline launched yesterday on their maiden flight from New Yorks Farmingdale airport! The company, set up by a couple of pet owners in 2005 will make flights to 5 US destinations, hoping to expand to 25 major cities in the future. After the stressful experience of having their Jack Russell travel in the cargo hold the couple just "wanted to do something better". They certainly have!

Pets will benefit from pre flight walks, bathroom breaks and lunch at cities on route. they will also be checked every 15 minutes throughout the flight which, if flying from New York to LA will take 24 hours in total. At just $91 for the cross country trip the fee is comparable to the human equivalent.

Good luck from everybody here at Pretty Paws to these pet lovers in their new venture!

"Designer cat collars are the bomb"

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 21:35:00 +0000

As I was keeping up to date with the goings on in the world of pet accessories today I stumbled across this great little article from Tristan Andrews who describes designer cat collars as “the bomb”. We think that’s a good thing?

Tristan then goes on to explain the advantages of having a collar for your cat, something which we try to stress as often as possible throughout the site. It’s also something we have in mind whenever we are looking for new supplies and designs, Tristan continues,

“Personalized and non-personalized collars come in a breakaway form that protects your cat from being caught and trapped by branches, bushes, fences, and other objects she could get her collar attached to so she couldn't get away. The breakaway collars comes with a clasp that pops open when sufficient pressure is used. Elastic collars also allow a cat to escape when her collar is snagged on something. As she wiggles to get free, this collar will stretch enough to let her get the collar off.”

The article is worth a read for anybody who is looking to invest in a new cat collar in the near future as it touches on all areas quite briefly. Something that we struggle to do here at Pretty Paws & Cool Cat! All our cat collars are either breakaway or elastic which is the article points out are by far the safest options for your cat.

"Kitten Cam" at Your Cat Mag!

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:40:00 +0000

We’ve just received word via twitter here at Pretty Paws about Your Cat Magazines’ fabulous “Kitten Cam” featuring their very own new family of Norwegian forest kittens and mum. It seems we are a little behind the times as you can see, the kittens are now 5 weeks old! Cat breeder Adele Mills has been kind enough to allow “Your Cat” to shoot video footage of these adorable little kittens and they’ve been sharing the results with the world via YouTube (of course!)

The above video shows the gorgeous little babies at 5 weeks old wondering round, washing and generally being cute kittens under the watchful eye of proud mum of course.

You can catch up with all the kittens antics at the homepage of “Your Cat”. You can also upload pictures of your own little ones via their gallery page.

Road Hog...or should that be Dog!?

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:03:00 +0000

"How's my driving?" is a sign you'll often read on the rear off a passing truck or van. Well, if you come across one of our driving doggies it's time to get off the road!

Driving dog has accident at car wash
The Pryor Daily Times - Pryor, Oklahoma - November 6, 2008
Sommer Woodward
Staff Reporter

The owner of a blue Pit Bull was surprised Tuesday afternoon when her dog shifted the car into gear while she was washing it at Spot Free Car Wash in Pryor.

Police Officer Brent Crittenden said the 1982 Buick doesn't require the brake to be pressed when shifting, which allowed the dog to shift the car into reverse. He said the 70-pound dog jumped on the dash and somehow shifted the car into reverse.

The car backed out of the a car wash bay on the south side of the car wash and continued onto Highway 69. It traveled north in reverse, then looped around and backed into the automated car wash lane.Crittenden said the vehicle almost hit another car while backing up on the highway.

"This is the first time in 26 years where I get to work a wreck and leave all my driver info blank," said Crittenden. He joked about waiting on confirmation of the dog's driver's license before writing any tickets.

The animal was licensed with the city of Pryor, so "I didn't have to take the dog to jail."The owner of the vehicle was unable to provide proof of insurance, so the car was impounded.

Crittenden said since the dog is registered with the city, the owner was allowed to walk the dog home.

Skateboarding...Dog!?

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 05:21:00 +0000

Our blog posts are like buses, none for ages then two turn up at the same time! Just had to share this video with you guys though. Tyson the skateboarding bulldog caught our eye on BBC news 24 this morning.

It seem we are a little slow on the uptake however as the video was posted over a year ago. Oh well, better late than never.

Enjoy…….

I smell a rat!

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:01:00 +0000

Now this isn't the cat of our average customer but we couldn’t help a smile when reading this story about Sheena and her little friend “Remy” the….rat! Remy and Sheena are not the likeliest of buddies but they are taking full advantage of the good weather by shearing a picnic, much to the amusement of onlookers.

Great New "Acrylic" Engraved Pet ID Tags

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 22:16:00 +0000

Hi Guys!

A little bit of an exclusive here for you all. Pretty Paws and Cool Cat Collars are busy listing some fab new Acrylic ID tags which you will find in very, very few places! We currently have the cat tags listed but will be updating the dog tags section also ASAP.

“Beautiful “Live edge” acrylic is a robust and light weight material which will set off any cat/dog collar superbly. The bright and hardy acrylic means they are easily visible and can be washed or wiped clean in a second. Unlike some metallic ID tags, these acrylic pet ID tags will not be attracted to magnetic collar fobs used for small cat and dog flaps.

Each tag can be engraved with up to 3 lines of information (up to 11 characters) for your cat’s safety.”

Below is a short press release about the new site

Fur flies at new website launch!

The fur was really flying this week as customers flocked to a brand new website dedicated to all things feline! There’s a new kid on the block for all those cat owners who love to spoil their “fur babies” once in a while. Cool Cat Collars does exactly “what it says on the tin”, supply cool cat collars to the UK market through their brand new website. The first phase of products are now listed and ready to go although it wont stop there. The store has bold ambitions to become a one stop shop for all you cat accessory needs. In the future the current lines of “cool” cat collars and cat tags will be complimented by cat beds, toys, bowls and more!

Owner Kelly, who already runs a successful online pet store and a host of other pet related websites commented “It’s really exciting to launch a new store aiming specifically towards cat owners. Often it’s dogs who get the most attention in terms of boutiques, groomers and general pet stores but not at Cool Cat Collars!”

A trip to www.coolcatcollars.co.uk could be puuurrrrfect!

Big coat weather!

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:23:00 +0000

Well yes, it’s finally here. Last week saw the official return of the “Big Coat” much to Tia’s amusement. After the SNOW (!!) earlier last week I dusted the cobwebs off and it is now pride of place next to the door ready to be called into action whenever her ladyship feels the need for a trip to inspect the boarders of ones kingdom!

It’s not only me who is in need of the coat now though, Tia’s winter box also came out too and wasn’t she excited! There’s been little need for her hoodies and coats all summer (what summer?!) but now with the cold wind, rain and (I’ll say it again) SNOW Tia can be found sporting some kind of protection from the elements.

So far in little over 5 days she’s been out in her very macho “Camo pac-a-mac” dog coat by Puchi, her ever so girly "Little Miss Sunshine" Hoodie, Security Hoodie and not to mention her little doggy scarf! You will see us stocking up on all the winter items this week and the cold sets in!! Wrap up warm people (and pets!)

Amazing doggy escape!

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 16:22:00 +0000

The Dog Bed Store - Now open!

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 17:43:00 +0000

We are please to say that our new store "The Dog Beds Store" is starting to take shape! This is something we have been working on in the background for a while now as we feel the dog beds deserve their own space.

At the moment the sales will still be though Pretty Paws but some time in 2009 The Dog Beds Store will be re launched as a store in its own right. In the mean time we will be looking to add as many beds as possible to the exciting range.

Thank you all for your continued support of Pretty Paws Accessories!

Tia’s Birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (Pretty Paws) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:28:00 +0000

As some of you will know Tia turned 2 this week and as a special treat we took her over to her absolute favourite place in the whole world…..the beach! We stayed all weekend and Tia really enjoyed going to the beach for a huge run twice a day, she spent the whole trip back asleep, not that she wouldn’t have done that anyway. Lazy Bones! Tia would like to say thank you to all her friends who sent her a Birthday card, she rather enjoyed chomping on the paper.

Here is a picture for you all of Tia on the beach (before being covered in sand!) in her lovely new crocodile diamante dog collar and matching pink ID tag, very girly!
