Kitty Wigs!

by CatChic


      I took a break from housework, to do a little surfing, and I came upon the Glamourpuss promotional video on You Tube.  The pictures are truly enchanting.  I think next time I take a visit to Chapters, I will look for this book and take a good peek at the pictures.  It looks like a fun book to own or to give someone as a gift.  I  certainly wouldn't mind having it.  I think it would be a nice conversation piece!

   
     There seems to be no end to what pet owners can purchase for their pets if they have the $$$.  Wigs are no exception!  There are  a few wig styles to choose from at the Glamourpuss site.

      Glamourpuss wigs are attractively packaged with a carrying case, wig form and net, as well as a rattle to get your cats attention. The wigs are pricey at $60 each, without shipping!




Glamourpuss on The Wendy Williams Show from Julie Jackson on Vimeo.

     Wendy William's had some fun with some of the various wigged kitties featured in the Glamourpuss book. I often watch her show, and I think she is a riot in this clip.

     All joking aside, you should check out the Glamourpuss site, and check out the free e-cards you can send someone to lighten their day.  There is also a fun I-Phone app you can download for your I-Phone.  You can shoot some cute photos from your phone using the app which costs less than a dollar.  

     

All this fun for only 99 cents!

     I found a Flickr group you can join to share your photos of bewigged kitties - too cute!.  The photos made my day.  You may want to join if you dig dressing up your cat.  Enjoy!

Pet Themes and Gadgets

by CatChic

My Cats Eyes iGoogle home page theme


      I decided to use iGoogle as my default browser today; because, it looked like you could be quite creative with it, and easily change the look and interactive content on it whenever you wish.  Since my laptop display screen wallpaper is a cat theme, I decided to make my iGoogle homepage match.  What fun I had!

      There were so many lovely animal themes to choose from for my home page, I had difficulty deciding which one to apply to my page.   In the iGoogle themes search bar, I typed in the word "cats" and  number of cat themes appeared.   I selected 'Cats Eyes', because the photo and colors were so lovely.

      Next,  I played around with the many gadgets available.  I adopted a virtual panda for a pet, and had a little fun feeding her bamboo shoots, while I watched today's days video clip.  There were quite a few other animal gadgets that caught my eye..  'Animal Quotes' looked interesting...think I'll try that on my homepage next.




      In order to have my iGoogle homepage open after startup,  I clicked "Tools", then "Options", and clicked "Open the home page" on startup.  I also typed in the URL of iGoogle beside "Open This Page".  I made Google the search engine and default browser, as well.  My internet browsing experience is now much more engaging with a customized 'kitty themed' homepage and  a virtual pet to play with.  




Thanks to iGoogle, my passion for pets and computers is now intertwined.  I think all you 'furry people' out there would like it too; so, have a little fun and search up iGoogle and play for a while.  It's very user friendly, and I guarantee that if you do try it,  you will probably have more fun than you bargained for! 


Cheers,
