Best Cat Wand

This wand is the best one I’ve used so far! It is retractable so easy storage. It also comes with 8 replaceable feathers, which our cats find irresistible. It also comes with two extra string attachments I was able to use on previous wands we bought or on the new ones. Def a win!

Best Cat Laser

So we ordered a bunch of lasers for cats. This one was by far the winner. Not only is the laser solid and visible, but it also has three different speed settings. As well as comes on automatically all throughout the day. Which most other similar products did not have. The suction cup was strong and had not moved once. It also slides off easily from the suction base to recharge with a USB c charger. The cats loved it so much that we got a second one in a different room.

Best Hanging Toy

This hangs from any door or closet frame.  Super easy to install, movable and fairly sturdy. It will not cause any damage to your structures. As well as easy to adjust the height and switch to different 8 toy attachments.  Our cats play with this fairly often, especially if we switch the attachments. Which can be also attached to any cat wand toys you have.

Best Hunting Toy

It encourages their hunting instinct. Both our cats took to it immediately. You get three plus a practice trainer one. However, with multiple cats, you can not monitor how much each cat is eating. It only works with dry food or treats. But we love that our cats get to hunt and play. You can literary hide it anywhere in the house. They get really good finding it and keeps them from getting bored. It also comes with a measuring spoon to show you how much of their reg food you should feed and a spout to help fill it.

Best Cat Tunnel

Is a foldable cat tunnel, Our kitties think they are invisible in it lol. There are interactive bell, plush and feather toys hanging on both sides of the cat tunnel. Plus it doesn’t take up much footprint!

Best Cat Bird Toy

Our cats must hunt it at all times. It flaps and screams. It reactivates by touch. It can be charged and also turned off. The only downside to this product is that it does not make a cute duck sound like I expected. It literally screams, lol. This sound only makes my cat play with it harder.

Best Interactive String

This hangs from any door or closet frame.  Super easy to install, movable, and relatively sturdy. It will not cause any damage to your structures. The battery last forever and is rechargeable. It’s a huge hit with the kitties. 

Best Interactive Ball

This ball is fluffy plush, has sounds, and lights up. There are 3 in a pack and have built-in batteries to last 10,000 chirps each. Catnip Silvervine pouch is included that is refillable.

Best TV Scratcher

My cats loved it, they love angled cat scratchers. It also has some weight to it so it doesn’t move around when they scratch it, which was an issue when I bought the ones from the pet stores.

Best Interactive Feeder

Best interactive feeder. If you cat needs more exercise or you just want them to eat slower. Just use this instead of a bowl with their regular food.

Best House Scratcher

The Izakaya house is absolutely exactly what you’d expect. The construction quality is enough knowing the cats will eventually destroy it, its very good looking. The extra sticky tape reinforcement for the corners is a good touch.

Best Treat Dispenser

Cats have the time of their life with it! I thought this was brilliant for when your out of the home for work 8 hours or whatever your out long hours, they still get stimulated play.

Best Cow Bed

My cats loved sleeping and hanging out on this cow! What a cute decor piece for your space!

Best Hideout

The two cats had a blast running in and around, batting each other and hiding. They played for hours in it and would not stop. The first thing my kitty went to was this donut.

Best Cat Bed

I saw this online and had to get it for my cat. It’s adorable! It has a removable bottom which is fuzzy soft on one side, and patterned on the other (so you can see your ramen soup). The top is also removable and is soft fuzzy on one side and looks like a ramen lid on the other. It’s cozy and my cat loves it.

Best Felt Cat Cave

My cats love sleeping in blanket & pillow forts and they are always demanding that we set them up for them. Heres a good-looking alternative.

Best Interactive Ball w/Tail

My cats love them, I can’t get them out of the bags fast enough, it’s hilarious to watch them play! 

Best Maze & Scratcher Post

You get a fun toy the cats love plus an added scratcher. Sturdy and well made to last. The wooden track part is nicely made with no sharp edges and the ball rolls very smoothly. There isn’t a way for your cats to remove the balls easily either.

Best Flat Round Scratcher

My Cats love this ball track. I did take the bell out so the balls go fast around. bonus they also use it as a cat scratcher

Best Outdoor Tunnel

I foster care for rescued kitties, so always on the lookout for good sturdy play stations. easy to put together. pops open and folds up easily. portable & lightweight. 1 page of instructions. The most important thing is kitties love it.

Best Interactive Ball w/Tail

Another well-done cat toy, it’s durable, cute, interactive, and cat approved. The ears on this toy light up random colors and turns on every so often to keep your cat entertained. Comes with two attachments and you can change out the attached feathers. I do wish the attachments came as a replacement in case the plastic breaks, but ours has held up fairly well after rough play over and over.

My kitties like the fake tail that comes out so they can chase it. It does require 2AA Batteries not included. The tail is interactive for 10 mins with an auto shut-off. But to use it the button needs to be pressed. The mouse on top is just there to play, it doesn’t move on its own. 

Best Puff Ball Gun

This is a cheaply made plastic gun. No directions But easy to figure out you just pull the blue piece on the back of the gun  out till it clicks. Then click the gun to shoot a puff ball you load in. However the puff balls are well made, you get tons and the cats love chasing it.

The best feature of this toy is you can attach it to the top of any cat pole scratcher! Absolutely love that. Brings new life to gotten poles.

Best Cat Climber

The cutest theme cat climber tree I’ve seen. They also have afew different sizes.

Best Cat Tree

 There is plenty space for multiple and large cats and my own seem to really love it. They even played with it as I was putting it together and taking it out of the box. It is nice to look at and doesn’t really distract you or take up much space, about as much as a typical cat tree. It also helps my cats stay away from my actual plants in the house, so that’s nice.

Best Tall Cat Tree

They sleep in and on them daily and it’s the sturdiest cat tree I own. Extremely great quality, retail stores would charge 2-3 times the amount for something similar to this! Worth the money, I will recommend this tree to every cat owner I know!

Best Tall & Wide

This one has a lot of spots to lay in and on. Takes about an hour to put together. Creates a lot of interest and is plush. 

Best Value Cat Tree

Best value cat tree at only $59.99! It even has a cat bowl for those who want to feed their cat high up to avoid dogs from eating. Sturdy enough for 10-12lb cats. Maybe a bit less sturdy for bigger cats. Great for foster kitties & kittens. 

Best “Cat”us looking tree

This is a medium height cat scratcher. But super well made, and very nice on the eyes. Blends in well with decor. 

Best Cactus

Best cactus cat scratcher wth no extras. Simple and well made.

Best Cactus with Shelf

Great cactus shape scratching post with a shelf. Simple clean lines and attractive. 

Best Calming Relief

Are you bringing home a new addition to the family? Moving to a new location or anytime your kitty is stressed out! Just plug one of these in a few days beforehand, which will help stress levels. With a scent not detectable to humans it is drug-free. Helps calm cats and reduce urine spraying, scratching, and other unwanted stress behaviors. I have used this when fostering kitties, and when I moved to a new house. I just plug it in a few days beforehand with noticeable behavior calmness when in use. 

Best Wack-A-Mole

This one is a cute version of the whack-a-mole game with the added cat scratcher and a little bee on a spring to bat around. Our cats love when we play with them using this toy. An extra bonus we didn’t realize is that with two cats we found they actually play together with this as well. One plays with the levers and automatic there interest for the other cat to attack the “moles”

Best Interactive Feather toy

Another great interactive toy to keep the kitties busy when you are not home. enticing them with feathers that pop out randomly. ( also has replacement feathers for sale) With a ball track to play with attached. It has a built-in timer that makes it turn on for 10 min every four hours and automatically turns off at night.  That’s really a must-have when shopping for interactive toys, must-have a built-in timers.

Best Feather Toy Replacement

I have included the link here of the feather replacements for the interactive toy listed before.

Best Interactive Mouse Toy

A cute mouse toy for kitties that activates with just a touch of their paw. It requires a watch-size battery but mine has lasted a year! It moves in random patterns and keeps them interested. Great interactive toy to leave their home with.

Cat toy maze made of cardboard. They love hunting the toys in here and it has three levels of challenges within the same box. You can put any small toy in here including treats. Super easy to put together.

A great interactive toy that has an auto timer. The kitties love to play this with and without the cover! Sturdy and easy to assemble.

Best Wiggle Fish
2-pk Rechargeable

This two-pack fish toy is well-sized for kicking and playing with for an adult cat. Our kitties even loved it as a kitten tho it was almost as big as them at 3months. It has a rechargeable Mirco USB wire included as well as catnip. It has an on-off switch and is activated by touch.

Best Ottoman

I know this is listed as just an ottoman. However, its the cutest ottoman ever and our cats love laying on it. They sleep on it all the time and play with it. They even cry if it gets knocked over so it seemed fitting to list it. 

Best Random Auto Laser

Great pet laser for dogs and cats alike. This one has random movement vs circular patterns. It is placed on any surface though it doesn’t have a suction cup. It is rechargeable and auto turns on with motion sensor

Best Chin Seed Brush

Have you ever noticed your cat has dark dots on their chin? It’s chin ache, black heads and it is common in cats. This brush does a heck of a job removing them and exfoliating them. On top of that, they enjoy the massage grooming side.

Best Automatic Slow Feeder

You can portion up to 6 feedings a day. It comes with a chart to how much you would like to feed in each bowl a day and tells you the portions to enter which is a nice touch. It is easy to program and uses slow feeder bowls. It also
has a very good freshness seal and even has a spot for a desiccant bag on the lid to keep food fresh. This feeder allow more range of kibble sizes.

Best Auto Feeder

This is the best automatic feeder we have found. It lets you portion up to 4 meals a day. It has a battery backup in case the power goes out. It has a removable divider separating the two bowls so your cats can’t be distracted while eating. The bowls are secured in place, in case your kitties like to move the bowls. It is an all stainless steel bowl inserted into plastic bowls that are attached. Easy for removing to clean, everything that touches the food is dishwasher safe. Our cats can’t get into the locking lid to the stored food either which is great. 

Best Water Dish

We have tried tons of water bowls. Our naughty cats like to play and splash water everywhere for fun, including lifting the bowl and dropping it. *eye rolls* We must have ordered over 10 different kinds of bowls to try. This was the winner for a non-powered bowl. Clear so we can see how much water is left with an easy-to-remove floating lid. Some bowls did have a full locking lid for the bowl, however even I couldn’t get it off to clean easily. This one has two silicone tabs that are just enough that your cats can’t lift the lid out. FYI it is larger than I expected. This would be great for dogs as well!

Best Water Fountain

If you do have a spot and can plug in your water bowl, this is the one. Love that it’s all stainless steel and dishwasher safe. It uses filters which I found is easy and needs to be changed once a week to prevent it from getting gross. The fountain holds about a gallon of water at a time and has a mark for minimum level. It does not have an auto-off when it runs out of water. It does have however a removable spout if your cats prefer a spring bubbler effect. Our cats love the fountain effect. Ps: using stainless steel prevents cat chin ache!

Best Filter replacement

For convenience, this is the best deal I’ve found for the filters to go with the fountain listed on here. Not only are there new carbon filters it also includes enough to change the sponge filter too without having to reuse them!

Best Window Bed

This is the best window shelf/ bed I have ever bought. I definitely have bought a few lol. It suction cups to any window or sliding glass door easily and it is super strong. Ours has been on for over a year and has not budged at all even with our two cats on it. (That’s 30lb easy, it says rated for 40 lbs!) Our cats fight for the shelf so we got two! Very easy to put together and the cloth is washable. The unit easily can be moved to another spot too. 

Best Budget Automatic Litter

For the price, I found this is the best value and works great too! Yes, you can pay three times + more and it may be better. But I’m not going to pay over $200 for an automatic litter box that may or may not last a couple of years that does the exact same thing. We have had this of couple years now, not a flaw! I don’t have to buy special bags or replacement parts to use regularly, and I only have to empty it once a week! that is a huge win in my book. If you use clumping litter you will need to probably empty it twice a week. We use pretty litter the silica crystal kind, so the wetness gets absorbed and not clumped so less space is taken up when scooping. (Note we have two litter boxes and two cats, once a week clean up is amazing)

Best Litter Mat

This super large litter mat is the answer to not tracking litter everywhere. Everything falls through the holes, of which you can reuse the litter.  Plus you could add a puppy pad in between the mat for accidents if you wanted to. 

Best Spill Mat

This mat is great for putting your food and water bowls on. The lip is generously higher than most and it’s made of BPA-free, food-grade silicone. It comes in tons of colors and isn’t thin and floppy like some others I’ve purchased before this. It is def waterproof & anti-slip, our cats have tested it out thoroughly. Comes in tons of sizes to match what you need. 

Best Bathroom Sign

This a nice easy visual reminder to keep the toilet lid closed n the bathroom. If you ahve new kittens that are small this is a perfect reminder for guest. If you ahve adult cats it is a great way to have guest keep the lid down so they kitties don’t drink or play in the toliet. 

Best Cat Stax

If you are a cat lover this is a great gift and cat game. With many different level challenges for a single or group of players up to 48 games.

Best Large Spring

A simple toy that makes you think, why didn’t I think of this first? It is so simple, cleanly designed, with no sharp edges, and cats absolutely can’t resist it. I originally bought a small pack. Big mistake these things somehow go missing quickly since the cats like to hide their prizes. Not to mention they get stuck under things and get lost easily. They never get bored of these and since they are a fav you want a constant supply! Our cats even play fetch with them!

Best Small Spring

A simple spring toy that is tightly curled and is easily tossed by our kitties. They play fetch with it, easily picking it up in their mouths. As well as easily batts them around.

Best Fancy Automatic Litter

Best purchased I’ve ever made for my cats! Easy Setup, Timesaver, cats LOVE it, hides the poop smell in the contained drawer. Ps: We don’t even use the ramp. The cats step in with no problem for adult cats.

Best HairBall Treatment

Great for hairball treatment. It coats the hairball in the stomach, and it makes it easier to pass them. So they don’t end up throwing up hairballs. It works so well. I highly recommend it a wonderful product cheap not expensive, but super effective.

Best Joint Care

Awesome supplement. It’s a capsule that you can just open and sprinkle on their food. The powder is chicken flavored. The Kitties don’t even notice it mix in with wet food. Highly recommend! it’s good for aging cats, their coat, and their joints. Great to add to a complete diet.

Best Feather Toy

A simple feather toy that is easily tossed by our kitties. They play fetch with it, easily picking it up in their mouths. As well as easily batts them around. You can also throw it around for them to hunt.

Best Donut Recovery

Instead of the cone of shame, use this instead! Its soft, cute, funny, and way more comfy for your kitty then the plastic

Best Puzzle Feeder

If you put 2-3 kibble in each green leaf cup, and 2-3 in each red lady bug cup, you’ll be able to serve up a puzzle that will occupy them for up to 15 minutes, and make them eat slowly enough they will feel satisfied for a few hours at least.

Best Black Seed Brush

Cats get chin acne some are more prone than others. When they do it looks like little black seeds on their chin. Hard to get out. This brush fixes that! Just use a kitty shampoo cleaning solution with the brush. Or you can use it dry as well. Grabs all the seeds and the other side of the brush is for massage.

Best Interactive Bird

This bird chirps and flaps its wings for about 15 sec. It stays on with motion sensors. It charges with a USB C cable and contains organic catnip.

Best Pet Sling Carrier

I try a bunch till I settled on this one. It’s super easy to put on. Has a leash hook to secure your pet plus a pocket for your leash. I actually use this for my kitties to bring around and to the vet. They fit easily up to a 15lb cat. Plus My kitties are more calm in this next to my body than in a crate.

Best Harness & Leash

This is the harness I use for my kitties from when they were 5 to 11 lbs easy. I could probably still use it for a cat up to 13 lbs securely. Its also fashionable, and hard for them to get out.

Best Pet Bookbag

I got this as an alternative for a cat carrier. She loves being able to see outside as we’re walking, but especially when we’re driving. She used to meow nonstop when in the car, and now she is asleep within 5 minutes. Not only this, but she also loves the backpack when it’s not in use. I leave it open on the floor and she is constantly curled up in the clear part of it.

Best Mesh Bookbag

My cats love this backpack. I take one of them on bike rides and he is able to lay down and relax in the bag while we cruise. The breathable mesh allows him to not overheat and also stretch around as he changes positions.

Best Pet Collapsible Carrier

Best Hard side cat carrier with a side door instead of the front opening. It is easy to collapse too!

Best Bigger Collapsible Carrier

Fits just right and easy to set up and put away. We use it primarily for traveling to keep Kitties safe in the back with the carrier tied down and secured. Much better than the wire-type carriers that are too heavy and a bit harder to set up. It’s a bit bigger than the other one I listed just before. I can easily fit both 10lb kitties in this one.

Best Pet Seatbelt Leash

Great for pets in a harness you can just easily clip this into the seatbelt holder and then can only move around so far. Safety first!

Best Net Barrier for Autos

Not only is this amazing for keeping your pets running to the front of the car. It has a pocket to hold stuff, you can even put your purse in it!

Best Hidden Litter

When I live in a smaller apartment and was tired of the eye sore of the litter box. I finally bought this hidden litter box and glad I did. It was easy to put together and options of which side you want the opening on.

Best Hidden Litter

Got this for my parents. They love this. One of the most underrated parts of this enclosure is the scratching pad at the entrance. I find both of my cats scratching it after the bathroom. It has helped cut back on litter tracking and any missed is easily caught by the litter mat outside.

Best 5 Set Wall Furniture

It feels sturdy, good hardware, and can be coated/painted as desired.

Best Wall Bridge

If your cats are active and full of curiosity, you should buy this bridge.

Best Donut Bed

My cats are able to spread out and still have room.

Best Hidden Litter

I needed a second litter box but it could only be in the living room so I needed it out of sight in something that could provide additional storage, and looked nice. This ticks all my boxes!

Best Litter Plant

My cat loves it! The opening is situated high-ish up on the pot so i think its gunna be hard for him to kick litter out (which im excited about!) And the opening is really big so I could easily scoop through that if I wanted,

Best Cat Brush

Super easy to brush them and remove the lost fur cookies. the wire ends have coated tips.

Best Freezable Bowl

I tried a few frozen bowls. This one stayed the coldest and the longest and holds 2 cups of water. I keep this outdoors for the stray kitties.

Best Heated Water Bowl

I have outdoor cats that I give fresh water to all year around. Since I dislike carrying water out to the cats in a bowl that I need to unplug every time or continually add water to a dirty, water-calcified bowl; I use that same standard stainless 1 qt. pet water bowl I used last season and it fits inside the Green Machine nicely.

Best Outdoor Pet House

This is a great outdoor house for stray cats and dogs too. I lined it using reflective bubble insulation you can find in a hardware store. Then add a heated pet mat. Keeps the kitties nice and warm all winter.

Best Outdoor Heated Mat

Best heated pet mat that is for ourdoor use. It has a chew-proof wire and includes a fleece cover.
