A few weeks ago The Island Cats’ blog had a review and giveaway of some Petmate products designed by Jackson Galaxy, the star of the Animal Planet show, “My Cat From Hell.”
To my surprise, we were lucky enough to win. I got to choose between the “Comfy Clamshell Bed” and “The Vault Marinator,” which is used to freshen up catnip toys. I thought the clamshell bed would be a great addition to our house so I chose that.
It was waiting at the door when I got home from work the other day The box was way bigger than expected, which was fine because . . . well, we have cats.
Once I opened the box and took out the clamshell bed, the cats were torn between investigating the bed and the empty box.
The bed seems to be of a high quality and the fabric is very soft. Chris especially likes it, as you can see from the video.
A pull of the strings easily turns it into a clamshell.
The bad thing about that is there is only room for one.
That means someone has to wait, whether they want to not.
Floki and Chris were the most interested but Chris was the first to use it for what it was meant for, to lie in. Of course, he had to make some biscuits before doing that.
Floki was more interested in the strings.
I didn’t know this at the time but there is a pocket to put the strings to keep them from becoming toys, possibly dangerous toys.
I ended up putting the bed in its open position on our coffee table. Frankie, Floki and Puck mostly ignore it but Chris loves it. I see him on it often. He is on it as I write this.
Meanwhile, in the cats’ room . . .
Bad Cat Chris 
The bed looks comfy and the cats like it. Chris looks really big, like our Kosmo, how much he weights, Kosmo is about 7 kg, about 15.5 lb.
I don’t remember what Chris weighs. I just know it’s too much. 😀
you can work with a box like me!!! and the color fits so perfectly with your furs… a feast for the eye and the place for comfy day dreams ;o)
How much would it cost to ship you to the United States? 😀
Cool bed! Looks like it’s nice and soft and maybe open is the best……the cats can stretch out that way…..but it does look COZY! Not only that, but the box is super.
Hugs, Teddy
The bed is very soft and there is room for two when open.
Congratulations on winning the clamshell. At least Chris likes it and the box is super. ~ˆ..ˆ~
Thank you. We were happy to get a nice prize.
Great bed! It works both ways! I love how excited the kitties were as soon as there was a box in the house. And of course, Chris was the first to walk up and start making biscuits to try it out. So fun and adorable.
Thank you. Chris is very smart and is usually the first to figure out new things. Not that a bed is complicated.
We’s glad to see that the bed arrived and the cats are enjoying it! We too leave it in an open position so more than one cat can enjoy it. And the box?? It’s an additional prize!!
Thanks for the prize. It is actually something useful. We had it since
Opps, I hit send too soon and it’s too hard to edit on my phone. I wanted to say we had it since Wednesday but I was busy and had to edit videos and photos in small chunks of of time.
Nice to see the bed was a big hit with Chris!
Thanks. I’m glad someone likes it.
Cody has the bed (which we will be reviewing and giving away soon! As well as the marinator!!) He is also giving away something else from Jackson Galaxy’s collection this Friday!
Very nice. Someone will be happy.
What a wonderful prize ! It’s nice to see that all the kitties enjoy it ! Purrs
It was a very nice prize.
bed looks lovely, and so does the box ^^
The bed is very nice and the box was nice but it is gone now.
That bed looks great. It was lovely to see Chris enjoying it so much. Loved seeing the cats in and out of that box. Mine would have been doing exactly the same 🙂
It makes me happy that Chris likes the bed so much.
You see that Christ likes it… I wonder how this behaviour is called in English? I know the German word for it. We say “trippeln” in German when a cat feels good and uses the paws to knead the ground 🙂 Do you have an English word for the “kneading” behaviour?
I don’t know of an English word other than kneading. My wife calls it Marching and some people call it “making biscuits.”
Haha, “making biscuits” sounds funny 🙂
Congratulations on winning that fantastic cat bed! It does look comfy.
Thanks. It feels like it would be very comfy.
Super pawsome!
Sorry we are so late with this but thank you for your comforting words on the loss of our sweet Ellie. We are heartbroken.

I’m sure it is a very difficult time for you. I wish I knew how to make it easier.
