A true Flower Child of the 1960s, Laurel Burch gave away her early handmade cat jewelry to passersby who admired it as she wore it along the streets of San Francisco. Soon, the distinctive creations of this self-taught artist would be sought out internationally for their vivid colors and vibrant affirmation of life. Today, Laurel Burch designs are found on a broad range of merchandise including jewelry, fine ceramic pieces and even socks!
Most of her subjects are animals or nature, and many of her best-loved pieces feature cats. Laurel Burch designs are so unmistakable, and her collectors so enthusiastic, that the first words from customers enteringCATS ‘N’ DOGS in Geneva, Illinois, can be: “Oh, you carry Laurel Burch!” And that realization may be followed by a story of how that person came to love Laurel Burch creations, or a smile that doesn’t go away all the time they’re in the store.
“The purpose of my art is to inspire living from the heart,” Laurel Burch says. “I want to create in a way that celebrates life in the most intimate and precious ways possible, for ourselves and for each other.”

In addition to the Laurel Burch collection, CATS ‘N’ DOGS features a wide selection of jewelry by a cross-section of American artists and artisans. Included in that selection are classic cameos set either in 14K gold or sterling silver, and a wide variety of sterling silver charms. The cameos are available in a limited number of dog breeds and a larger selection of cats. Worn simply on the included 18-inch-long, 14K gold or sterling silver chain, these cameos are the ultimate tribute of the jewelers’ art to a beloved companion. Fashioned in New York, our sterling silver charms are available in a good selection of dog breeds and somewhat fewer cats. They provide a dramatic addition to a charm bracelet or, because of their handsome size, can be worn as a pendant on a sterling silver chain. Together, CATS ‘N’ DOGS offers America’s largest selection of cat-and-dog themed jewelry, breed-specific and fanciful. We are a leading retailer of hand-painted cat-and-dog pins by Virginia’s Bonnie Moreno, whose legendary collection spans hundreds of breed-specific designs. For jewelry, as for any section of our on-line catalog, if you don’t see what you need on line, we probably have it in the store. Send us e-mail with your request. We’ll let you know if we have it and e-mail you an image. |

What better way to have fun than to extend our love of cats and dogs into other parts of our lives? Now we can do just
that, even in the games we play. DOG-OPOLY and CAT-OPOLY are played just like the well-known real-estate trading game that we’ve all played
for years, but with special dog-and-cat twists that make it great fun for the animal crowd. What’s worse than going to jail? Any dog
will tell you going to the kennel! In DOG-OPOLY, players build doghouses and trade them for bones instead of hotels. And the back of each property
card contains fascinating facts about our cat-and-dog friends. DOG-OPOLY and CAT-OPOLY offer hours of fun, but the gem of our game collection
is our cat-and-dog chess set. Yes, it’s the cats vs. the dogs in this unique version of one of history’s most enduring games. A Poodle is
the Queen and St. Bernards are the Bishops as the dogs battle a feline foe whose rooks, or castles, are represented by cat beds! The substantial
and well-balanced pieces are hand-painted and feature a felt base. Our cat-and-dog chess set is a wonderful way to introduce the ancient
game to young players or a unique addition to the collection of the seasoned player. |

CATS ‘N’ DOGS’ catalog section for our canine friends offers items for your dog’s entertainment, health and hygiene. Bubble Buddy,
a bubble machine that sends bacon-scented bubbles floating through the air is a great interactive toy that you and your dog can enjoy
together. And jumping after those bacon bubbles provides your dog with a good workout, too. When traveling, hiking or visiting the beach
be sure to bring along our lightweight, folding fabric Port-A-Bowls so that your dog can have food or water whenever he or she needs it.
And to keep your dog’s coat fresh and clean smelling between baths, consider our Fresh Pet Ionic Brush. The brush uses negative-ion technology
to stroke “rain forest” freshness into the coat in just five minutes a day. Our sturdy brush produces a strong ion stream, and it’s great
for cats, too. Compare it to the nationally advertised ionic brush at twice the price. And they don’t include the batteries. These are
some of our favorite items, but if you’re in the Chicago area, stop into our store in Geneva, Illinois, and visit our toys and treats
department and our Preppy Puppy Bakery. We’re always looking for new items to make animals’ lives more fun, and new shipments arrive several
times a week. |
