Cash for Clunkers Trade In

As evidenced by the recent uptick in GDP, the Whisker Gifters Cash for Clunkers program has been an incredible success.

The most recent trade in request was sent to us from Sirius Black and White of Port Washington, NY.  His story and a photo of the clunker he's trading in are below.

Hi Jester,
I don't want to brag but they don't make toys strong enough for me.  When I play tug it's the toy that loses.  I got this toy about 3 months ago and it was fun until all the stuffing came out.  Eww, it didn't feel good on my tongue.

My name is Sirius Black and White, but everyone calls me Sirius.

Thank you, Sirius Black and White, for sharing your story with us.  We can put a man on the moon but we can't come up with an edible dog toy stuffing.

We'll send Sirius a coupon good for 10% off his next purchase at WhiskerGifters.com.

If you have a dog toy, cat toy or dog chew you'd like to trade in, visit the Whisker Gifters Cash for Clunkers page at WhiskerGifters.com.

Why Do People Believe Cats are Psychic?

The belief that cats have innate psychic abilities is a belief held by many people. The cat goddesses Bast and Sekhmet of ancient Egypt may be responsible for this. Or, maybe it was born of more modern times because cats tend to have psychic hallucinations after eating catnip. Whatever the beginnings, when a cat owner asks me how to determine the psychic ability of her cat, I ask her whether or not her cat knows she’s pondering this. If the cat does not know, he is not psychic. But, if the cat is aware of the question, further testing is in order.

10 Reasons a Cat Brings Home Live Prey

Why does a cat bring home live prey? Why not.

If that's not a good enough answer, how about these?

1. He needs to put up mouse and squirrel preserves for the winter
2. He doesn’t know the words to the song the bird in the yard is singing
3. He can’t get to the store to buy an appropriate gift for his human
4. He’s tired of being compared to his big-cat cousins
5. Faux fur mice don’t taste as good
6. Peer pressure
7. He wants to impress his girlfriend
8. Because he can
9. He quit smoking and needs a new vice
10. It’s more exciting than bringing home dead prey

Comments? Questions? More reasons? Let me know.

Cash For Clunkers Extended

Cash for Cat Toy, Dog Toy and Dog Chew Clunkers Program

We’ve just voted to extend the Cash for Clunkers program! Trade in your old, slimy cat toy clunker, dog toy clunker or dog chew clunker for a brand new one at WhiskerGifters.com. While we can’t afford to give you a $4,500 rebate (and really, what cat toy, dog toy or dog chew is worth $4,500 – except, of course, the one that saves the $4,500 couch) we can afford to give you a coupon worth 10% off your entire order at WhiskerGifters.com.

Cash For Cat Toy, Dog Toy and Dog Chew Clunkers FAQ

What Qualifies as a Clunker?
Any cat toy, dog toy or dog chew that is:

1. covered with dried cat or dog spit
2. full of dirt, fur or other icky stuff
3. half-eaten or devoid of its original stuffing
   
4. caked with grease from spending months hidden under the stove
5. touched only by humans wearing gloves

How Do I Trade In My Old Clunker?
Let us be clear. This is not truly a “Trade In” program. After all, if your old clunker were full of spit, dried or otherwise, why would we want it? To get the 10% off coupon, though, follow these simple steps:

1. Take a picture of the clunker you want to trade in
   
2. Write a short (50 words or less) description of your clunker - how long you've had it, how much joy it's given you and why you're ready to move on
   
3. Email the picture and description along with your name (your name, not your human significant other's name) and email address to jester@whiskergifters.com or baron@whiskergifters.com.

We’ll post the picture and description on our Cash for Clunkers page and send you a coupon worth 10% off your entire order at WhiskerGifters.com.*

Why Are You Offering Cash for Clunkers?
By getting rid of your old clunkers, you’re helping to not only save the environment, but also to save the jobs of catnip growers across the country as they account for at least .00000134% of GDP.**

*If you don’t have a picture and description, send us your email address and we’ll send you the coupon anyway.
**We don’t really know this for a fact.
