Kritter Kommunity Interview with My Three Cats!

I recently did an interview with Kritters that Twitter, a series brought to you by the folks at Kritter Kommunity. Check it out!

Interview with My3Cats, December 15th, 2009

Hosted by: Madi, The Cat

MADI: Hello, and thanks for meeting me at the Kritter Koffeehouse. I am very excited to be speaking with you today and greatly appreciate your time. Before we get started, I just want to point out that just like everything associated with the Kritter Kommunity, Kritters That Twitter is specifically designed for Animals and Animal Lovers. The Kritter Koffeehouse is open daily and serves beverages and snacks for both Animals and Hoomans. That being said, I see you are an Animal…..could I offer you a bowl of milk or water? Some Catnip before we get started?

MY3CATS: Thanks, Mr. Madi. My name is Bogey, I’m the official spokes-purrson of MyThreeCats.com. I’m so glad to be here! I already have a lot of fresh catnip, but thanks for the offer.

MADI: Lets jump in and get started; we are eager to learn more about you! Firstly, what exactly is My3Cats?

MY3CATS: MyThreeCats.com is an internet based retailer of quality, innovative cat accessories and products for cats like me, and also unique gifts and accessories for cat lovers. Can you believe we carry some great cat furniture called Cat Clouds where cats can exercise and literally “catapult” through the air? We’re especially proud of our wide selection of cat furniture; cat toys; scratching and behavior products; beds;collars; litter boxes and many other great iteMr. We’re really getting into “green” as well. Mom is trying to select green products for the well being of our cat customers and for the environment, like our Eco-friendly cat furniture and cat beds.

My Mom’s name is Carolyn. She’s a co-owner of MyThreeCats.com and has been in business for 11 years. We started out as a retail shop based in Pittsburgh, PA called My Three Cats & Co., Inc. I started the very first day at the shop with Mom, where I became very popular. A few years later, I decided to continue my role as Spokes-purrson at MyThreeCats.com. I get a lot of fan mail. For more information, go to Ask Bogey or About Us on our website.

MADI: How did you come up with the name My3Cats? Do you have pets?

MY3Cats: Over the years, many cats have proudly owned my Mom, but she now has 3 cats, and I’m one of them. She created the name My Three Cats since there are many multiple cat households today and they can easily identify with our name. She always liked the name of the vintage TV program, My Three Sons, so that’s how we became MyThreeCats.com!

MADI: Tell us about how you currently use social media…. Facebook, Twitter, Blogs

MY3Cats: Well, Mr. Madi, we use all three, including our very own Youtube site where we have lots of favorite cat videos posted. You should really check out our blog, BogeysBlogSphere.

Our customers can also access the blog through our home page at www.MyThreeCats.com. We have some of the best quality cat stories and educational articles on cat care on the internet. Great cartoons and videos, too. If you like to participate in polls, check out our poll page. Sometimes, we have fun contests, like our recent cat photo contest in October. Readers should book mark us to see what’s new!

We’re also on Facebook, under Carolyn Luna, and on Twitter under Bogeythecat, where we post some really interesting cat stuff and have made many friends around the world. Finally, you can see our cool rotating ads on Catchannel.com on the product and breed pages of that site. You can find us and our great products at www.MyThreeCats.com.

MADI: My sister Abi and I see you on Facebook regularly. What do you like most about Facebook and how do you find it valuable?

MY 3 CATS: We like chatting with the many, many cat lovers from all over the world, and love to explore their pages as well. It’s just a great community of people with a common interest, we all love cats! I especially enjoy seeing the cat pictures they share. We’re always interested in hearing from our readers about how they like our products and any cool new products they want to share.

MADI: We at Kritters That Twitter want to make sure we offer solutions and add value to the lives of Animals and Animal Lovers through our blog. This interview was extremely helpful in providing animals a fun place to shop for specialty items.

MY3CATS: Mom and I are thrilled to be interviewed by you, Mr. Madi. We really like Kwitters that Twitter and will be sure to tell our cat loving customers about you!!!

MADI: Wow, this was such useful information, and most importantly it has been a pleasure kicking back and getting to know you better. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to chat with me and other Kwitters!!!

December Cat-toons- Enjoy!

How to Upkeep a Guest-Friendly, Cat-Friendly Living Space for the Holidays

It is our hope at MyThreeCats.com that your holiday season brings many friends and family to your household or apartment. The holidays are best spent with company, and for our household, “company” means the cats too! Striking the right balance of décor for your guests and your cats means having the right products in your apartment so that it can be both cat-friendly and guest-friendly.

For instance, cat owners with cats that love to scratch the furniture are often embarrassed when guests see deep claw marks into their couches and chairs Our Sticky Paws™ for Furniture product place a transparent adhesive over areas that your cat loves to scratch so that your furniture retains its aesthetics and your cat is encouraged to redirect his scratching behavior to the right place – one of our great looking scratching posts or Scratch Lounges™.

If scratching isn’t your cat’s problem, then maybe you need our Nature’s Miracle product for stain removal. As a host, subjecting your guests to stains and odors is never on the party agenda. Nature’s Miracle uses natural enzymes to eliminate all cat-related stains and make sure that they won’t be attracted back to the site. Cats owners that not only deal with messes but with lots of hair will think the Pet Hair Pickup Mitt is the cat’s meow. Not only does it provide a wide surface area for hair pickup, but because it is made of sponge it is easy to clean.

If hiding the litter box is your problem, then perhaps you need the Beautiful Refined Feline™ Litterbox. This multi-purpose wood furniture piece can be matched to the décor of your apartment or household and function as an everyday piece of furniture. Through a side entrance, your cat can come-and-go into a concealed litter box within the wood panels. The litter can be replaced via a large sliding tray that is accessible when the cabinet doors are opened. It must be seen to be appreciated!

But enough hiding and cleaning – your guests will want to see that you love your cats, not that you want to hide them! Show off your cats on Cat Clouds™ Contemporary Shelves that hook into your wall and provide your cats with a lofted spot to view your gathering. Your cats will become a focal point of your holidays – and you won’t need to decorate the walls with expensive paintings! (Cats are also naturals at adding fung shui to your place!) Celebrate the holidays by letting your guests give your cats a Yeowww!™ Catnip Candy Cane and they’ll have a new friend in their lives. You can also show off your cat’s “WOOLIES” Cat Lambswool Bed to show how much you value your cat’s comfort.

The possibilities are endless, and MyThreeCats.com is ready and waiting to provide your household with the upgrades it needs. Your apartment and your household should highlight the love you have for your cats while paying respect to visitors who might not be used to a household with feline friends. With a cat- and guest-friendly apartment or household, your holiday season is bound to bring joy to every creature who cozies up inside.
