BLACKBURN AND SWEETZER

Thanks, Apartment Therapy for featuring this modern cat condo, which is truly awesome—small one is $119, big one is $199 at moderncatdesigns.com. First, Newm and Grizz would love this thing, especially the tall one since Newm is all about being high and Grizz is all about being low; second, it’s so attractive. Two paws up.

A three-year-old tabby—awesome! And I thought our guys—that’s Newm and Grizzle—were big. Check it out here.

This is gratuitous cuteness. The top dog is the doggie fixture at Bourgeois Boheme on La Brea and the bottom pup is at (I think) a gallery space on Melrose, west of Robertson. Happy voting!

First of all, I love the way this cat is clearly so content. Sleek architectural design, and very functional for some serious scratching. The best part is that the Sweet Lounge is only $159 (designpublic.com), which may seem a bit much for cat furniture, but I’d love to have this in my place regardless.

I posted some time ago about Japanese company Weizhi, purveyor of high-end dog collars and leashes, opening at 8383 West 3rd Street, just east of Orlando and joining newly-opened Benefit Cosmetics on the stretch.
This is no frou-frou spot. The leashes and collars are made from either diamonds or CZ and pricey leather, as well as […]

This sh*t is hilarious and crazy - kitty wigs in pink, blonde, silver and electric blue ($50, kittywigs.com) . Each wig comes complete with a snazzy carrying case, form for the wig, and play mouse and rattle to distract kitty while he/she is getting a picture taken (preferably by a professional photog). I can’t imagine […]

I’ve been meaning to write something about this Hepper Pod Pet Bed for quite some time. It surprisingly accommodates cats and dogs up to 50 pounds, which hopefully is not an issue if you have a cat. Even our two fatsters are only 20 pounds. The pods come is a host of different color combos, […]

Jewelry designer Andrea Levine clearly has a thing for the kitties, along with other four-legged friends. Her earrings, bracelets and necklaces come in either CZ and sterling or diamonds and gold or silver. Prices range from below $100 into the four figures, depending on how deep you want to dig into your pocketbook to show […]

As much as I thought the whole Puppies & Babies idea was odd, I always find it a little annoying when a business has a location in its name that is incorrect. I realize this is an extension of the shop that is actually in Bel Air, but we’re not in Bel Air.

Here is Grizzle, very happily getting brushed with the FURminator.

Here is the resulting hair! It is f*cking amazing. The FURminator is the real deal people. It may be expensive - we got ours through PetCo for $45 for the medium-sized one - but if this means less hairballs (and less throwing up of hairballs) and […]

Thanks to a helpful B+S reader (thanks Beth!), I just found out that the kitty was claimed at the shelter by its owners! So, no worries for the little guy or gal.

This kitty was found on November 4th at the intersection of Blackburn and Sweetzer, and taken to a shelter! Just in case, people in the neighborhood haven’t seen the signs…
