Cats deserve to be spoiled too!

When we first decided to open our store, we were very careful to express to our friends and family that we were opening a pet treat bakery. Not a dog treat bakery. A pet treat bakery. Because we know that dogs aren't the only kind of pets that people are passionate about.

We think that a lot of people are still under the impression that we're all about dogs, and only about dogs. Part of that misconception might be because Lucky and Millie are with us at the store everyday, and they're very obviously representing dogs as pets. But we're cat lovers too. When we first moved to Michigan, we were surprised to open the door to our new house and to find out that "the cats came with the house." That's how Smoker and Laudie joined our family. And if you think that our dogs are living the high life as treat and toy testers, you should see our cats - they don't even have to get up and go to work in the morning!

When you enter the store, just look to your right and there is a wall of cat items. Every day we have four kinds of organic treats - beef, chicken, seafood and catnip. Cat treats can be purchased by the dozen or by the ounce - and an ounce lasts a surprising amount of time (even with our spoiled girls!) We also have a variety of cat toys - happily tested by our girls for durability and playability. When we look for toys to stock, we look for companies that use all natural materials and organic catnip. We also like our cat toys to vary with the seasons - check back often to see what's new as the holidays progress.
