Weird Niche: Cat Butts
in Niche Market Ideas by Nicole on 04 Nov
After last week’s Weird Niche Wednesday about Pet Wigs – I decided to stick with the cat theme. (If you missed it, you can check out the Dog Wigs and Cat Wigs — if you dare.)
So, we’re going where we haven’t gone yet. Cat Butts.
Yes, some niches make you go “Hmm…” and this one makes you go “HUH?!” You know I may not be much of a home decorator, but I’ve never ever considered going with a “Cat Butt” theme. EVER. You?
Well, if you had, you’d have been in luck.
First, as every home owner with pets knows, sometimes you need a breath of fresh air in your home. It can get a little stale with the cat box and other pet smells that happen with life.
Never fear – you can get these Air Fresheners, decorated with, you guessed it! Cat Butts!

Click here to check out the Cat Butt Air Freshener.
They call it “wit on a string” and I concur. (Pssst. It doesn’t smell like cat butt. I promise.)
Then, when having parties, the Cat But theme continues. Your guests could set their drinks on a snazzy but sensible Cat Butt Coaster so as not to damage your furniture.

Click here to check out the Cat Butt Coasters. I know you want to!
But, the fun isn’t done yet. What about your home office? (I apologize in advance for this one, guys.)
Yes, a pencil sharpener!

Click here to check out the Cat Butt Pencil Sharpener.
From the Description: Sharp-End Keep your pencils pointed with the hilarious meowing cat pencil sharpener. Insert a pencil into the cat’s rear-end and it meows in protest while you sharpen. Wouldn’t you? A fun desk accessory that will have the whole office yowling.
And, oh, how I wish I was done, but there’s more…
We can’t forget the fridge!

Click here to check out the Cat Butt Magnets Plus Cat Butt Field Guide.
I think having those magnets on the fridge has the potential to work better than any diet program on earth.
All I can say is that I know a lot of cat lovers — and Christmas is coming soon.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
And, of course, thanks for reading. I hope that I made you smile.
Warmly,
Nicole Dean
PS. Oh yeah. This is supposed to be about business lessons and finding niches. I got nuthin’ on this one, though. Your thoughts?

ROFLMBO!!!! Oh my goodness girl. I was *trying* to read this post to my husband and I was laughing so hard I nearly peed my pants!!
We have 2 cats here, and I’m not sure how they would react to a meowing pencil sharpener. hehe
Thanks for the hilarious post.

I wonder if they have promotional versions. I could stick my logo on those and give them out at NAMS!

According to Twitter Talk, it seems the pencil sharpener is the winner! lol.
AlainaFrederick: OMG @NicoleDean has a cat butt pencil sharpener on her site today… http://bit.ly/3c0HC2
TraceyJoy76: RT @NicoleDean Weird Niche Cat Butts http://bit.ly/1XNdn8 – the pet wigs was enough, but the pencil sharpener that did it who came up w/that

What Nell said – that’s the business lesson for this week’s entry. That’s all there possibly could be. LOL!!

OMG that is just wrong. LOL Who would have ever thought you could make money by selling items related to a cats butt? I definitely got a laugh out of this one!

ROFLOL!
Oh, this is a classic one Nicole. Who would a thunk-it. Cat butts for a niche.
I especially love the pencil sharpener! Gotta get one of those for my office
Funny thing about this post is it brought back some memories of over 20 years ago. I had a friend of mine while I was in the military that could draw a purrfect (pun intended) cat – from the rear end at least.
Thanks for the memories (I think) and the laugh!

Too funny – We have a cat too and I might just go for the air freshener, but the pencil sharpener, that’s just wrong – I can just see my daughter trying that one on our cat if we had one of those around.

Lesson learned, Nicole. Never think that “nobody will be interested in that.” This is so funny! Your post and the pieces had me smiling from ear to ear.

Wow…my cat would be offended…he thinks he’s perfect and that his ‘poop don’t stink’…that would include his butt too I’m sure.
Too funny!

I love the idea you can make money from it. But somehow it just seems wrong to stare at cat butts.
