Win a Chairman Meow T-Shirt, Sticker, and Catnip!

Obey the kitty! We're all familiar with that command, and now you an wear the message on a Chairman Meow T-shirt. Catladyland and Chairman Meow are giving away one of their new T-Shirts (pictured below), in delightfully revolutionary army-green. In addition to the cool shirt, the winner will receive a Chairman Meow sticker and a bag of catnip. 

For those of you who aren't familiar with Chairman Meow, he's the ever-victorious leader of the cultural Kitty Revolution. I'm quite certain your cats know exactly who he is. He posts his feline wisdom on obeythekitty.com. You owe it to yourself to take a look. We humans need to be on top of this whole Feline Revolution thing if we hope to remain in good graces with the cats of the world. The kitties are just waiting for us to mess things up so they can take over. I know that sounds dramatic, but CATS!

You can show your support and be treated more favorably by cats, should the Revolution occur, by sporting a Chairman Meow shirt. Here's how you win one:

• Giveaway runs from now through midnight Central, January 22, 2016.
• Enter your name and email address in the Rafflecopter widget below.
• Complete the Twitter portion of the widget if you'd like additional entries.

A Cat's Thoughts Before the Laundry Basket

A cat's thought's moments before making the leap to a laundry basket:

I wonder if the towels are warm. It might not be worth my time to move if they're not warm because this loaf is pretty comfortable. 

I can see myself burrowed under that top towel. Plus that color accentuates my features. I've always been a "spring."

What is that blue towel? Is that new? What happened to the yellow one? I liked that one. It had some interesting fray.

Have the other cats seen the basket? Time is of the essence. The loaf will wait. #first

My Cat's Pulled the Welcome Mat

Sometimes cats don't want to set out the welcome mat. Sometimes they want to pretend like they're not home, even though we clearly see they are indeed present. Cats think if they can't see us, we can't see them (Cat Logic 101). I play along because sometimes I don't want to entertain visitors either. Totally get it, Phoebe. Check ya later.

My Cat's Wake-Up Face is Always Camera Ready

This is the look I get when I wake Cosmo so I can snap a cute pic of him.  I suppose I'd give the same look if someone woke me up with a camera in my face. He looks way cuter than I would, though. Cats are always camera-ready, aren't they? No fair!

Happy New Year from Cats ... and Boxes!

It's a brand new year and the cats of Catladyland are really getting their party on. Ain't no party like a box party ...

Catladyland opened its bloggy doors in January, 2009 -- I can hardly believe it's been seven years! There's never been a shortage of wacky -- and sometimes informative -- material from which to draw, and we've loved sharing every single laugh and thoughtful moment with you. So THANK YOU for visiting Catladyland, and we hope you'll continue to enjoy your mini-vacations to our silly little corner of the Web, where the litter boxes are always welcoming and the cats are usually snarky ... in the best possible way, of course. 

Here's to another year of fun!

Win a Year's Supply of Tidy Cats Litter ... and a Unique Tiny Hat! #TidyCatsNYEHats

New Year's Eve is quickly approaching -- can you believe it's nearly 2016? Where did the year go? Our cats are probably wondering the same thing ... because they slept for most of the year: "Where did the year go? Did I dream the whole thing? By the way, where did my food go? Not dinner time? Wake me when it's time to eat." 

Yeah, that's what a lot of cats would say if asked about their memories of 2015, but that doesn't mean they don't like to party. Cats can be total party animals ... after a nice nap, that is.

Cosmo's ready to party in his own Adam Ellis design. He's even wearing his tux.

Many of us humans like to don fun hats, grab festive (yet annoying) noise-makers, and get our groove on at New Year's Eve parties. I admit it -- I've worn New Year's party hats. If you're gonna go all in, go all in.

Why should people be the only ones with cool hats? This year, Tidy Cats is teaming up with tiny-hat designer, Adam Ellis to offer readers an opportunity to win their very own, hand-crafted tiny hat for their party-going kitty. 

But wait, there's more! Tidy Cats is offering the same winner a year's supply of Tidy Cats litter -- in the form of 12 full-value coupons. Free cat litter is a legit reason to party!

The Plight of Holiday Cat

The holidays can be a difficult time for cats. The new toys exhaust them into lengthy naps that last for hours at a stretch. The energy expended to break in new jingle balls and catnip mice is more than any kitty should bear.

No one really understands the plight of the holiday cat.

My Cat's Taken Pillow-Jacking to a New Level

So I bought this cozy new body pillow. Really -- if you've never tried sleeping with one, you're missing out. Phoebe didn't want to miss out and immediately occupied it. Oh, and now I can't get it away from her.

She must think "body pillow" means she's supposed to plop her whole body right on top of it. She'd be way better off with a body pillow her own size, but wouldn't be any fun, now would it?

I'm used to her stealing my pillow, but this is kind of ridiculous.

Cat Paw Extended, Toes Fanned ... Yes!

Cats sleep in the funniest positions. I caught Phoebe crashed with her paw extended and her toes fanned. Fanned, I tell you! Ask me if I touched her feet. Go ahead. Of course I did -- are you crazy?

Also, I think she would have preferred I place a treat in that paw instead of getting my cat-paws jollies on. Well, when you up the cute ante, you're asking for it. I'm only human, after all.

Tidy Cats Litter Selector ... and Giveaway! #TidyInsider

I'll just come right out and say it: the cat litter aisle can be overwhelming. Agree? I thought you might. Friends, let me assure you there's no reason to stress over what goes in your kitty's box. Tidy Cats knows not every type of litter fits every type of cat or human. 

My cats care what's in ALL their boxes. 

Some enjoy scented litter, while others prefer straight-up options. Instant action or long-term odor control? What do you think? How about the weight of the litter? Do you want to build muscle or are you a lightweight? OK, raise your hand if you love a nice clump! Me, me, me!

Maybe you didn't even know there were so many choices. Perhaps your thinking becomes scattered when considering the selections, so you close your eyes and grab something off the shelf. Some have become accustomed to purchasing the same brand each time the litter runs low. Whatever the case, the Tidy Cats Litter Selector will match you to your ideal type of litter. It's like online dating, but with cat litter.

It's not hard -- promise! Just honestly answer a few simple questions about your home, lifestyle, and general preferences, and let Tidy do the work! I tried the Litter Selector and found my perfect match: Tidy Cats Instant Action. We're meeting at the litter boxes for our date next week. I can hardly wait.

Tidy Cats and Catladyland is giving three (3) lucky readers the opportunity to win five (5) jugs or bags of litter (or one full jug or bag and four full-value coupons)! Isn't that exciting? Here's how you qualify:

• Click here to try the Tidy Cats Litter Selector.
• Leave a comment on this post with the type of litter Tidy selected for you.
• Enter your name and email address in the Rafflecopter widget below.
• Open to U.S. readers only. 
• Giveaway closes at midnight (Central) on December 19.

Good luck!
