We did it! It’s our 1st anniversary at Cat Wisdom 101 and we couldn’t have made it without you! It’s been an incredible year of cats 24/7. Writing about cats, healing cats, consulting with cats and their guardians, photographing cats and connecting with cat lovers all over the world like you! We feel very blessed and grateful. Odin has this to say…
Odin also would like to invite you to his 2nd birthday party tomorrow. Stop by anytime tomorrow. There will be catnip cake, prizes and surprises! Oh, and we have a giveaway!
Odin got an early birthday gift. We’re so used to cat-related packages arriving, Odin gets excited by the sight of cardboard. A large box arrived by UPS while Odin, our official product tester was um, sleeping on the job napping. We were thrilled to unpack a SkratchKabin™ combo bed with scratching area sent by the nice folks from Brinsea Products, makers of KatKabin TheSkratchKabin™ won the 2011 Editors’ Choice Award by Pet Product News International magazine, awarded annually to new products featuring excellence in function and design.
Gris Gris was intrigued by the sisal mouse hanging from the entrance…
and even fussy Merlin deemed the cozy interior comfy with it’s reversible cushion. We like that the cover can be removed and washed. The SkratchKabin™ is ideal for porches year round and fits any decor indoors. We wish we’d had one of these when Domino used to live on the porch in his former feral days. But where was Odin, our official tester ?
Refreshed from his nap, he went straight to work, sniffing out every inch of this new nest inside and out.
Without coaxing, he killed the sisal mouse and made himself right at home.
Odin is a master hunter outdoors but all cats whether indoor/outdoor or indoor only need to exercise their natural hunting instinct. Cats also love cozy places. where they can nap in privacy. The more the merrier! Our cats like using tree bark and roots as scratching posts so we don’t actually have any man-made scratching posts and wondered if Odin would be interested.
He took to it like a duck to water. Oops, wrong analogy. He’s loves eating duck.
I loved everything about the SkratchKabin™ The only problem? I don’t think Odin wants to share it. Would you like to win a SkratchKabin™ for your kitty? You can win one in your choice of colors. See the product choices at KatKabin

Hi Layla,
Congratulations to the winner.
I’ve been eyeballing this cat furniture-bed-scratching post with a hanging toy for quite a while.
I like that it’s a combo and that it has cat ears and legs at each entrance. I also like that i has two entrances in case you have it outdoors. The cat won’t get trapped.
It’s also a modern, stylish piece to have in the house.

I’m certain my Oscar would LOVE either the oatmeal or the cocoa!! It would give him somewhere to hide besides under my bed. Thanks!!
My kitty would love this! Any color would be wonderful, but the blueberry one is especially cute.
I can haz second entry?
Blueberry or cocoa, but all 3 colors are nice so I wouldn’t be fussy.
This is great. I would love the blueberry!
Happy Birthday Odin, and Happy Anniversary Wisdom Cat 101. My name is “Corky the Cradle Cat”, in case you have not heard of me, I was born with my hind legs backwards and crisscrossed. I had surgery 8 week ago to correct it, but ran into complications and 3 weeks later had to have my left leg amputated. I now live with 3 other cats and 3 dogs, and I love them dearly, but sure would love a cuddly place to call my own for the times when I just want to sneak off for a nap, your Skratchkabin in Cocoa would be PURRfect for me. Thank you for considering me, and congratulations to whomever the lucky kitty is that you choose to be the recipient of this PAWsome little hideaway.
COCOA,COCOA,COCOA..for my cat named COCO!!!
I have 14 cats..think they can share?…DOUBT IT!!..haaa..I LOVE the COCOA one!!!!
I have 14 cats…think they can share…doubt it!!!..haaa..I LOVE the COCOA one!!!

I like the blueberry color.
This looks a bit like a dreaded PTU but I’m game. The green and chocolate would best match our room but I also like the pink that doesn’t match anything! MOL! I think I like you already on FB but will check. I’ll also pin this on Pinterest. Do I win yet? Happy Birthday Odin.

Happy Birthday Odin.
Happy Birthday Odin and Happy Anniversary Cat Wisdom! Purrl and Mister Meow saw the KatKabin and they said they MUST have one…or two. Love the scratchy one; Purrl said she can’t wait to dig her paws into it! We went to the KatKabin website and were amazed at all the different selections. If we got one of the heated ones I don’t think I would ever see my cats again. lol Love the chocolate one…but they are all super cute…awww, love the itty ears! <3 Lovely pix of that handsome Odin!

Happy Birthday dear Odin. Lovin your SkratchKabin.
Happy Birthday din! Thanks for the invite to your pawty!!!
Happy Birthday Odin! Don’t knock your mom and dad out with the terrible two’s. Although Samuel has stopped eating the blue yoga mat, he, and his brother Joel and sister Ziva are tearing up the house, and the paper towels, the bath towels, the couches and chairs looking for stuff to do. They sure would love that KatKabin in Oatmeal to scratch the hell out of and play hide n seek. P.S. Joel thinks double stick tape is his new best toy.
Happy Birthday Odin!!! Cocoa please
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ODIN!! If you want to share a ScratchKabin with my kitties, they’d be wonderfully happy with any color that you choose for them!!
Hope you have a fabulous birthday! I’d like the oatmeal one please.
Have a rockin’ birthday Odin! Blueberry.

Theirs is a working species who thrives on attending to their cats every need/desire/demand. A non-cat servant human is an unhappy human!
Enjoy mewz special day and I wish mew many more healthy ones to come. <3<3<3
P.S.– Cocoa is still my first choice. Mewmew!
Dearest Odin…the cozy cottager’s wish you a most wonderful purrrthday!! How mice of you to give away such a fine little house for a dear kitty…we would love th eoatmeal one if we should be the lucky ones.

Oh yes and Odin, Leonardo likes the Cocoa Color (it matches the sofa and drapes which he was previously sharpening his claws on).
