Rooftop Balcony Pet House

Although we don't have AT Pet (yet...), we're sure that if we did this would be one of the first places we'd check out for a house tour. Or, we might see it in the Smallest, Coolest......

We thought we'd point out that Sonia over at Unplggd has posted an in-depth review of the Rolls Royce of cat litter boxes, complete with video of the crazy space capsule contraption in action. Check o...

After yesterday's lively discussion about pet vomit (thanks Gregory!) and how to clean it up, reader gquaker also had a tip for slowing down the scarf (and therefore the barf) by adding an empty can o...

Osso & Co. Kitty Condo

These sort of look like slightly miniaturized versions of preschool playground cubes for kids. But this set of five wood cubes covered in corrugated cotton fabric were designed specifically as a styli...

No More Furry Furniture: 3M Fur Fighter Hair Remover

Pets are cute, lovable...and hairy. Do I teach my pet to never get up on the couch or recover everything in vinyl or leather? We've blogged some ways to live in harmony with your furry friends. No...

Flickr Finds: Yvestown's Expedit Cat Nook

The Expedit bookcase is probably one of the most successful Ikea offerings to date, and it could be because it's so versatile and simple. Here, Yvestown modifies hers: the vintage wallpaper is a nice...

Love your pet? Hate their bowl? We're with you. They’re either cutesy or utilitarian and they always look like...well...bowls on the floor. The rest of our house is sleek and elegant. We'd like...

Does Urine-Off Work?

A friend of ours got a nasty surprise when she finally decided to chuck her shag rug after her dog Kai peed on it a few times during the housebreaking stage. Once she lifted the rug up, the hardwood ...
