Yes it has taken a while, but I have finally opened the new webshop!
If you would like to order any of my products including Cat Walking Jackets please nip over to the Happy House Cats Shop
I have a few products available there including quality Da-Bird compatible wands and refills, catnip toys, chopped and powdered catnip.
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.
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
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
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).
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

I have decided to post in the News page when I make payments to the PDSA so that everyone can see that payments are being made. Unfortunately the receipts for the first two payments I made has vanished down a worm hole in time & space so you will have to trust me that the first £30 was actually paid.
Anyway, I called in at the local PDSA shop in Paisley today to make a payment of outstanding PDSA donations totalling £50.
The staff at the PDSA shop were absolutely overjoyed and asked me to thank everyone who donated.
During these troubled times the PDSA is under greater strain with more clients seeking help and declining donations, so a huge thank you to everyone who donated from the both the PDSA and myself.
To date, thanks to the generosity of Happy House Cats customers, we have raised a total of £80, which has maybe meant the difference between life and death for some poor pets out there
