Hey everyone. BellaSugar here. I love my cats Milo and Minou to pieces. What I don't love about them is their frequent, fetid fecal droppings. They do this thing I call the Circle of Poo: One poops, then the other has to check it out. And then that kitty has to poop in solidarity. Then the other has to have a look, raising the ante by squeezing out another little pooplet. And so on. (Too much information? Yeah, well, there's too much cat poop in my life.)

About six weeks ago, I remembered reading about people who toilet train their cats. I think you know where this is going. The traditional method, as described by jazz musician Charles Mingus, involves keeping a litter box over the toilet. That seemed like too much work, so instead, I decided to try CitiKitty ($29), a feline toilet training kit. The website was filled with photos of happy kitties neatly depositing their mess into a toilet, which gave me great hope. Surely, Milo and Minou would be able to use the loo in a similar way, right? Right?

Oh, honestly, I can't take the cuteness. Just look at how ridiculous these Clean & Slobber soaps are. I'm nearly incapacitated by their twee packaging, but I'll try to tell you about the product itself. Pop Ink's triple-milled soaps are packed with essential oils, and they have a lavender-and-verbena scent. But really, they could smell like Milk-Bonz and I'd still be cooing at these little '70s-style woofers. They're $18 for a set of four at Wishing Fish, and while these might cost a little more than a bar of Ivory, they'd make great "just because" gifts for the dogaholic in your life. Now Fido can have her Kiehl's bath goods and you'll have yours, too.

This new three-part product line from Kiehl's called For Your Dog is grrreat! For years now, customers have been requesting that Kiehl's make products as luxurious for man's best friend as they do for women, men, babies and even horses.

The collection was developed by Kiehl’s along with professional groomers to bring you three creations that cleanse and condition your canine's coat. They leave their skin feeling soft and their fur smelling fresh. All of the products are formulated with high-quality, natural ingredients that are safe and gentle enough for regular use.

Renée Ryan, owner of Sexy Beast is what you might call "a dog person." After a day of shopping for her pooch Austin, she realized that there were no everyday maintenance products out on the market for pooches. She saw tons of shampoos, conditioners and bath products, but no styling systems to achieve the same quality of a professional groom.

Given her background in marketing fragrance and beauty products for big name companies, she decided to come up with her own line of grooming products available to folks right at home. Sexy beast brings beauty to the pet market! And with the Westminster Dog Show under way, where the creme de la creme canines are perfectly coiffed, this product launch has perfect timing.

It is a three step process that results in a glossy, deodorized, healthy and delicious smelling coat. There is also a fresh smelling perfume for dogs as part of the line. Sexy Beast is the only canine collection that is 100% Vegan and Hypo-allergenic. For those of you who are looking to pamper your pets this Valentine's Day, this is the perfect way to show your love and appreciation for (wo)man's best friend.
