Hello and welcome to Happy House Cats.

Please use the menu over on the right to navigate my website.

The latest news items and random things that may be of interest can be found below in a usual blog style format.

I have now opened the new Happy House Cats Web Shop where you will be able to buy my cat walking jackets and other quality hand made items for your furkid, this part of the website will now revert back to a blog website and the jacket purchase page will be removed.

If you have any questions or would just like to make comment on anything you find here then please use the contact page, if you wish me to reply them please make absolutely sure you give a valid email address or I will not be able to respond ;)

For details of my walking jackets have a look at the Walking Jackets Page, or use the links over on the right hand side.

PDSA Donations Paid – 31th May 2011

The items I made for the PDSA are selling quite well too, I will be making a few more shortly :)

PDSA Donations Paid – 18th May 2011

Due to my slight problem with the website this donation is a much healthier looking £35.

Jacket sales are up slightly as well which has helped a bit.

PDSA Donation Error.

May 2nd, 2011 by admin

I am embarrassed to admit I noticed there was a problem with the donation counter!

I made some changes to the website a while back which broke the code showing donations paid/ due. The system which accounts for donations is now and always has been absolutely fine, it was just the code which displays the donations that was in error so every penny donated is still accounted.

Basically the counter was not showing the Happy House Cats donations just customer donations but it has now been fixed and double checked to make sure it is displaying the correct amount.

I apologise for the error and would just like to assure you that it in no way resulted in the PDSA missing any funds.

New Happy House Cats Shop Coming Soon

April 19th, 2011 by admin

Yes I am intending to launch a new shop on the interweb world..

I have a few new products I am hoping to produce and sell including 100% natural chopped catnip, catnip powder, catnip pillows & fish, catnip kicker toys, catnip playmats,  Da-Bird type wand toys & refills and bungee shock cords for leash walking among other things.

Hopefully I will also be able to build up a number of other items for sale including genuine Flexi extending leashes and a range of other cat toys & products.

This website will remain as a front end where news items etc can be posted, and the shop will be put in a sub domain with links to it on this site.

I am not absolutely sure what I will be doing about the PDSA donations at this time, if I turn the site into a business then I need to maximise profits in order to make a living and currently I make very little on the jackets without matching donations, I am not planning on increasing prices so I may stop the donation match and concentrate on providing free goods to the local PDSA shop. I will decide later on after consulting the business advisor and working out profit margins accurately.

Whatever I decide, I will still continue to support the PDSA in one way or another ;)

So, watch out for future announcements as the new shop gets ready to go live ;)

PDSA Donations Paid – 18th Apr 2011

April 18th, 2011 by admin

Just popped into the local PDSA shop today and handed over the latest donations, just £7 but better than nothing ;)

I had a word with the manager and she said the bags of catnip are selling so that is making a bit more, I am also planning to provide some catnip pillows for them to sell but I have been rather busy the last few weeks working on the new shop site and such like but I will get some made soon ;)

PDSA Donations Paid – 23th Mar 2011

March 23rd, 2011 by admin

Not much to donate this time, just one jacket donation but thanks to Tracey sending a gift donation at least it was a bit more.

I also took a dozen bags of organic catnip into the shop for them to sell, so hopefully next time there will be a bit more raised (if they sell).

PDSA Donations Paid – 7th Mar 2011

March 3rd, 2011 by admin

I had some more donations come in for the PDSA

Someone kindly sent a donation for assistance with a DIY project which was very kind so that boosted the funds a bit more, it may not look like a lot but £14 is making a difference and the staff at the PDSA shop were once again extremely grateful for it.

I noticed from the receipt numbers there have been no other donations receipts issued since the last one two weeks ago, I hope that is just that receipts  are not issued ordinarily – it is quite a poor show if no one had made a donation!

I am going to make up some bags of catnip and drop them in at the shop for them to sell, I am not sure if I should add that to the PDSA records here as it is not strictly donations by customers but it would be assistance from Happy House Cats. If anyone has any thoughts on that please leave a comment or drop me a line using the contact us page ;)
