Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 7 - IT Technician

This is an especially rewarding career for cats that like the warmth the computer generates, feel comfortable in a desk top environment and are early tech adapters. For example, if you had a Twitter account and were tweeting when the neighborhood cats were still chasing birds, then this might be the choice for you.

However, this career is not for every cat. If you are the type of kitty who likes to nibble on cables, unless you have all nine of your nine lives left, maybe this isn't such a good choice.

Consider this career if you;
  • Can spend hours staring at a computer screen

  • Fix any problem by just sitting on it

  • Have in-depth knowledge or digital and multi-media platforms

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 7 - Are you a Helper?

Part 7 of a 9 part series

Look it, this is part 7 of a 9 part series. So if you're not a DOER, a THINKER or a CREATOR and at the end of this week you realize you are not a HELPER - you're starting to run out of options fuzzbutt. There are only two more parts.* So, it's important you chose something - soon. Why you ask? Well have you read the papers recently? Reality check. The economy is going down and the gravy train is coming to an end. That's why.

In times like this, the kitties, the key is self-sufficiency. Otherwise you know where you might end up? The alley! Is that what you want?

So listen now and listen good. No one said a job was going to be easy. The good news is that maybe you're a HELPER. Read on and see if this is the right path for you.

Are you a Helper?

When you encounter a messy dinner plate you tend to:
  • Bury it to hide the smell

  • Clean it thoroughly to prepare it for the dishwasher

  • Knock it onto the floor and play with the broken pieces

  • Ignore it and go take a nap
If you answered "bury it" or "knock it to the floor", you are a Helper.

*but we're going to take a break and focus on costumes for October.

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 6 - Chef

If you like to eat, able to distinguish between a no-name cat food and your favorite exponentially more expensive brand and you're willing to taste new things, like the take out Chicken Tikka Masala that someone left on the counter then a CHEF might be the career for you.

Despite the fact that cats are well known for their discriminating palettes, there are relatively few cat chefs in currently in the marketplace. If you don't believe me, when is the last time you saw a cat on Hell's Kitchen? And why not? You're quick, nimble and you could easily give Chef Ramsay a few new ways on how to express yourself when you don't get what you want.

As you are deciding where your passions lie, we suggest exploring new cuisines or taking a cooking class or two. What's nice to know that wherever this career path leads you: short order cook, restaurateur about town or cat-erer, there is nothing more satisfying than to serve or be served a good meal.

Consider this career if you;
  • Enjoy eating and drinking to an excess

  • Look great in an apron

  • Can julienne better than Julia Child
Not a CREATOR? Check in next Tuesday to see if you are a HELPER!

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 6 - Opera Singer

Listen, if you've got a voice there is no reason why you shouldn't use it or let it be wasted in an alley when you could be trying out for America's Got Talent. You might think - I can't! I am no longer a kitten and my tail is grey, bushy and unmanageable! Well, think about the great loss we would would all have if Susan Boyle gave up because she's got grey, bushy and unmanageable eyebrows! Your voice is a gift and you should share your gift.

Now before you think just because you have talent, you can be a lazy bones and just lie around all day and dream about Carnegie Hall, you need to know that to be a truly great opera singer, you must practice, practice, practice. (That and having a Viking helmet and spiky bra is really all you need.) I can still hear my high school band director saying, "95% perspiration, 5% inspiration." And this is never more true than when pursuing a career as an Opera Singer.

As you refine your talent, you'll find practice will begin to feel much less like work and more like a natural part of your everyday life. For example, you'll startle yourself by realizing you are practicing your vibrato in a hallway, your volume when you want in or your pitch when you want out. And as you refine your skill and talent, you'll find your listeners more and more appreciative.

Consider this career if you;
  • Possess massive lung capacity

  • Communicate your feelings at a very high amplitude

  • Have purrr…fect pitch

In between your practice, a little relaxing of the vocal chords is a must and a little s-t-r-e-t-c-h on on Catnip Yoga Mats does the trick.

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 6 - Interior Designer

All of us are able to immediately recognize what we like when we see it, but few of us can actually create a look from scratch. However, if you are an Interior Designer Kitty, you know innately what needs to be done the minute your walk in a room to make that space truly and uniquely yours. Tearing just an ever so small opening in the sheer silk curtain to let the sun in just so? Shredding that new couch in just the right place to give it that purrr…fect Shabby Chic touch? Or perhaps placing that hair ball on the antique Turkish carpet in the exact right place for maximum impact?

Consider this career if you;
  • Understand the neccessity of well placed fringe

  • Work well with a conflicting personalities

  • Strong creative skills coupled with a strong understanding of the creative process

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 6 - Are you a Creator?

(Part 5 of a 9 part series)

If you have been faithfully following the blog you may have determined you are not a DOER or a THINKER. This may have left you despondent and unable to enjoy the sun's last rays on your furry body as you lie under your favorite window sadly musing, "perhaps there is no hope for me to be fulfilled in my cat-reer." But do not give up hope, as you may very well be a CREATOR.

Incidentally, for those who have not been faithfully following the blog, we hiss and spit on you. Furthermore, we refuse to use the litterbox you have graciously provided and choose to go instead to the planter where you have planted a low maintenance Dracaena and teach you a thing or two about low maintenance.

Being a creator is wonderful. For one, isn't God a creator too? If so, he certainly is in good company. For two, most cats have have artistry running through their veins.

Are you a Creator?

True or False:

You are inspired by:
  • Afternoon naps in a warm sunbeam

  • Raking the litter in your cat box into elaborate patterns

  • Making imprints with your paws on windows and mirrors

  • Your Yoga and meditation practices

If you true to one or more, you are a Creator.

Whether you are a creator or not, it's hard not to appreciate the creativity behind our exclusive collection of Johanna Hansen Cat-A-Ments.

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 5 - Corporate Lawyer

Although being a corporate lawyer may sound less exciting than let's say a NASA Scientist or Professional Thief, a Corporate Lawyer is a highly respectable profession, and purrr...fect for the kitty who values stability, enjoys working at a desk and doesn't mind staying up all night to get the job done.

Most kitties have everything they need to be a Corporate Lawyer: A keen sense of opportunity, the ability to surprise the opposition and a respectable suit. The only thing we recommend to round out your obvious assets is the purchase of a cell phone with good coverage so you can easily handle any international deals when you are away from your office, for example, lying on the couch or in the sun. Luckily for you, because your hearing is quite acute you will not need an ear piece unless of course you are driving depending on your local state laws.

Consider this career if you;
  • Work well without supervision and have no existing criminal records

  • Drive your point home loudly and often

  • Are able to orchestrate successful, leveraged buyouts
Created by Lynn Chang and Christienne Miller.

After a hard day on the job, it's important to take the time to relax. Studies have shown yoga helps relieve work induced stress. And to make your practice nicer or whenever you need a time out we're sure you'll grow to these Catnip Yoga Mats.

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 5 - Professional Thief

Although there are many perils in breaking the law, especially with legislation like Three Strikes in California, there really is no reason an enterprising kitty should not consider a successful career in crime. After all, how do you think Cat Burglar was coined?

Depending on your neighborhood, the amazing rewards of this job can keep you purring for days. And you'll find the selection of items you can paw is quite broad. You need not limit yourself to precious stones and metals - after all what's wrong with a lovely fish skeleton or an exciting leathery, petrified bat that someone found in their basement and tried unsuccessfully to give to the garbage collector for several weeks? You'll find all these items have surprisingly good street value with your friendly neighborhood fencer.

Another plus is that you'll find your slinky ways and ability to see in the dark an incredible asset that sets you head, shoulders and tails above other petty criminals of lesser animals.

Consider this career if you;
  • Demonstrate extreme patience

  • Tremble from excitement and make an "eh eh eh" sound when you see something you want

  • Can spot a D flawless from across the room

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 5 - NASA Scientist


The myth of cats only excelling in liberal arts is that - a myth only. Many cats have found great success in the world of science and you can too. And if you're going to reach for the stars, to explore the space and time continuum, to pioneer the future in aeronautics research or to contact the Mother Ship, we believe you need to reach no higher than to be a NASA scientist.

Consider this career if you:
  • Can concentrate on one thing for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours.

  • Approach situations from a detached, analytical point-of-view

  • Recite all of Newton’s laws of motion as your personal mantras

Created by Lynn Chang and Christienne Miller.

It doesn't take a scientist to understand why after this long, hot summer where you have spent many, many hours, rolling in the dirt, that you may need a bath. Use Kitty Planet's exclusive Fancy Catnip Shampoo and Fancy Rosemary Conditioner to change that drab, dusty and lifeless fur to soft, silky and manageable fur. By using the combination, specifically designed for your sensitive skin, you will no doubt be the envy of all the kitties in your neighborhood.

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Part 5 - Are you a Thinker?

(Part 5 of a 9 part series)
If you have been faithfully following the blog last week, you may have determined you are not a DOER. But please do not lose hope because you may very well be a THINKER.

Thinkers are cats that are excellent planners. They plot, plan AND plan ahead.

Take this quiz if you think you might be a Thinker:
You tend to get on the forbidden kitchen counter top:
a. When no one is home, but leave evidence that someone else, not you was there
b. To bite the pie that was left out and loosely wrapped even though you don't like pie.
c. When you want to look out the window
d. To play with the dripping faucet
If you answered “a”, you are a thinker.

There is no time like now, with the changing seasons, to think about a new look or outfit for fall. We think "A Rose by Any Other Name," safety cat collar, is a purrr…fect addition to your Fall Wardrobe. A beautiful rose, that compliments your own beauty on a black velvet collar.

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Jobs for Doers, Part 4, Entre-purrr-neur

Let's face it, every kitty has a bit of the entre-purrr-neur in them. You're independent, you have ideas, lots of good ones and most kitties like working for yourself. However, this seemingly purrr...fect description, in reality, might not work for every kitty. Keep in mind you must embrace risk, endure many, many hours of work without pay or pets and you must also truly believe in a capitalistic society. If any of these aspects just aren't you, than you may want to consider something different to sink your claws into.

Consider this career if you;

• Possess vision, determination and motivation
• Adapt quickly to evolving situations
• Grasp the big picture such as global markets and technology

Don't forget to check in next week to see for Part 5, to see if You Are a Thinker!

Discover the Color of Your Litterbox - Jobs for Doers, Part 4, Sky Diving Instructor


This is an often overlooked career consideration for kitties which is unfortunate because is can be very rewarding especially if you like heights. Plus, because so few kitties are Sky Diving Instructors, you'll find your resume submission welcomed with open arms...and laps. Consider this career if you;

• Enjoy the wind in your fur
• Embrace the thrill of an adrenaline rush
• Feel a strong desire to push others out of their comfort thresholds

And let's not forget the added benefit that you'll never be thirsty on the job.

Crew is generally not not a good career for cats.
