Frequently Asked Questions

Whats the deal with your shipping costs? They seem kinda high?
We do not profit from inflated shipping and handling costs. No, seriously. I solely live off the beneficence of my cat, Yoshi, who holds (and plays with) the purse strings in the family. The shipping prices you see are pretty much what it actually costs to get the product to you in perfect condition and in a timely manner. The thing is that most likely your stuff is coming from Canada via Canada Post so while it might cost a little more to get to you it will be done in the politest and most cost efficient way possible. Sometimes we are able to ship certain products from the US via UPS or USPS Priority Mail to International and USA addresses and that savings will be passed on to you. Rest assured I strive to offer the best S&H prices I can

I try to ship in-stock items the same day your order is received so you'll get your stuff AFSAHP*.

Is Yoshi a real cat? Only a fake cat would put up with costumes.
Yes, not only is Yoshi a real cat but she also really likes being dressed up. What you see is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Well, except when we touch-up those little shedded furs from the backgrounds of the photos. We do not Photoshop costumes onto her or anything like that. If you see her wearing a latex banana costume with strobe lights she is really wearing the whole yellow shebang and a battery pack too.

Wait! Yoshi is a ‘she’? I thought that was a boy’s name.
Um…well…let’s just say there was a bit of confusion on my and the vet’s the part when she was very little. A couple of stray tufts of fur, if you know what I mean. So yes, she is all girl and I kept Yoshi as her name because it suited her.

Where can I buy the costumes Yoshi wears?
At this time Yoshi’s costumes are one-of-a-kind creations sewn by me (blood, sweat and TEARS!) specifically for our photo sessions and your amusement. They are very labour intensive and not constructed like regular dog and cat clothing, opening up at the back so photos can be taken from the front. Looks good on film but kinda weird in real life. Basically they’d cost you a fortune and look really bad – like most of the jeans I buy. However, there are plans in the works to create some fun pet-wear in the near future. Sign up for the e-newslitter and you’ll be the first to know when that all happens.

I want to send your fabulous stuff as a gift. How can you hook me up?
Having a gift option is something I am working on. However, emailing me with special requests is always welcome. I can throw on some ribbon and add a gift card if you want one. Let me know what you need. I do always include a receipt in your shipment showing the total cost of your purchase so if you don’t want that enclosed for any reason let me know.

Are you going to SPAM-Bomb my inbox if I sign up for your e-newslitter?
HECK NO! I will only send you emails about cool new stuff going on at UrbanBeast. And I’m pretty lazy so the emails are always short and to the point. Notifications you can expect to receive are tasty tidbits like new product launches, contests, coupons, sales and other things that you might want to know about and could even save you a few bucks. I do not share your personal info with anybody. And if ya want to opt out you can. Just let me know. But you’ll be soooorrrryyyyy…
