A garden treat for your cat

Cats adore this close relative of catnip. It forms a mound of sage green leaves topped by sprays of tiny lavender-blue flowers. After a big flush of flowers in May and June, catmint reblooms in late summer.

Plant some just for your cat to enjoy. (Start with a fairly large plant; kitties can love small ones to death.)

Modern doghouse

Our Modern Cottage prefab idea house included a mod prefab dog house complete with living roof.

The Dog cabana by Modern Cabana (2 by 3 by 3 feet; $500) is constructed of FSC-certified lumber and nontoxic finishes—and comes with a ready-to-plant roof. Snoopy would love it.
