Sarah's Spotlight - Whiskerkisses


So, anyone who has read through my blog knows how I am repeatedly tempted to test out my dog sweaters on poor Pheoda. I still think she would look quite adorable, but I know how mad I would be if a claw got stuck in the yarn! (Yes, that's the only reason this project hasn't yet taken place!) Anyhow, you can imagine how excited I was to stumble across Whiskerkisses, a great store on Etsy that sells accessories for pet collars.
Etsy shop: http://Whiskerkisses.etsy.com
Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Whiskerkisses-Paw-made-Collars-for-Your-Pet/120407164953?ref=ts
Blog: http://whiskerkissesmews.blogspot.com


Here you will find boa collars, neck ties, button down collars, and much more. I would still be quite impressed with these products if it were a dog doing the modeling. However, the model (and quality control officer no less) is an adorable cat named Twiggy. I am curious to find out how Twiggy appears to sit so still for her photo shoots, but she seems to do a great job! And her blue eyes are gorgeous - it must be the Siamese in her coming out!


The best part about this store is the artist's dedication to animals. She is a member of Etsy for Animals, and 10% of all sales from the store go to helping animals in need. You can visit this team at:

The artist also created a special bandanna for Twiggy's third birthday earlier this summer. 100% of the proceeds from these bandannas go to the Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan No Kill Shelter. Sweet Pheoda still wears her red tie bandanna, but I'm not sure I could keep a collar on her. Otherwise, I would have already purchased one of these "Got Treats" bandannas for her. I think my sister's cats need to wear tags, so they may be getting new gifts soon from their auntie!

It's truly amazing to see someone so dedicated to both her craft, her kitty, and other animals who don't have such loving owners to call home. You'll be glad you decided to stop by her store!
