Celebrity cat lovers (like Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas, pictured left) got a real treat when they hit the gifting suites at this year's Grammy Awards -- posing for photos was Fancy Feast's famously fluffy white mascot.

But come on, we're talking about gifting suites. You know celebs weren't only stopping by for a quick pic with a famous feline. The stars also walked out with two luxury heart charms (one for the cat, one for her owner), a sparkling suede cat collar (perfect for the most fashionable feline), a FlipCam Mino for capturing special award-winning moments and, of course, an assortment of Fancy Feast Appetizers for cats.

This week, one lucky Paw Nation winner will win that same Grammy gift package!

With so many cat products hitting shelves every week, we asked our favorite kitty-centric blog, Moderncat, to round up their faves in our column, Moderncat's Modern Finds.

Let your kitty know how much you love her this Valentine's Day with some of these cool gifts made just for her.

To have a happy home and a happy dog, it's critical to choose a pet that fits your needs and also the realities of what your household can accommodate. Here are 8 questions to consider as you decide what kind of dog you want:

1. What is your main requirement from a dog?
If it's important for your dog to help protect the household, make that a priority. Consider sticking with one of the bigger or more aggressive breeds that are known to make good guard dogs. If you are looking for a companion to sit in your lap, select a small breed of dog like a Chihuahua or Pomeranian.

2. What kind of family environment do you have?
If you have small children, for example, make sure to choose a dog that is less likely to react negatively if startled by noise or poked by little kids. Consider choosing a breed that has a calm nature and socializes well with children such as golden retrievers, collies, pugs and boxers. Other breeds like the Dalmatian and Kerry blue terrier are less tolerant to the excitement that comes with kids running around. If you have other pets, you want to select a dog that gets along with other animals. If you live alone, and have no other pets in your home, these questions may not be as important.
