Toddler "Safe" Cat Toys
Toys that your toddler destroy, or that they'll both love playing with - trust me, they're worth the money
Our cats LOVE this and we have it up on a shelf so our toddler can't knock it over or throw it. Just make sure they don't try to stare up into the light!
Automatic Rotating Laser Pointer
These tunnels and tents are excellent because not only do the cats love them, our toddler plays in/with them too 😂 Just make sure they don't have any dangly toys that could come off and be choking hazards!
Play Tunnels & Cubes for Cats
Our toddler and cats play together with this toy too 😂 She hits the balls from one side to the ither and they do the same back! The balls are too large for her to fit in her mouth, but we still always supervise them playing together to be safe!
Three Tier Ball Tower
Another toy we ALWAYS supervise, but she loves waving this around and watching the cats chase it!
Cat Toy Wand
Cat Exercise and Escape
Get your cats moving and give them a break from the chaos!
Our cats absolutely love these for getting up and away from the toddler when she's feeling crazy 😂
Cat Wall Shelves
We installed a few of these so that the cats can get in/out of some rooms that our toddler doesn't have access too! They like being able to escaoe for a while and we put their food/water/litter in there so no little hands get in it!
Cat Flap Door (Lockable)
A cat tree is a MUST! Just make sure to secure it to the wall so that your little one can't tip it over!
60-in Cat Tree
Cat Care
Make sure your cats don't get forgotten in the chaos of toddler-life!
We snagged one of these because we were guilty of being late (or forgetting 🫣) to feed the cats sometimes in all the chaos! Now we don't ned to stress knowing they're always getting fed on time.
Automatic Cat Feeder
Even though we have the box in a seperate room, this one was a non-negotiable for us incase she gets in the room! Its not toddler-proof, but will at least slow her down
Covered Litter Box
For the same reason as the feeder, this just lessened the mental load on us having to remember to change the water bowl daily! Knowing they have filtered water available at all times is a huge relief!
Catit Fountain for Cats
Our go-to cleaning agent thats safe for pets and babies for anything where water/vinegar won't cut it! We still rinse it with water afterwards to ensure theres no residue, but this is the most effective "safe" cleaner we've found!
Clorox Green Works All-Purpose Cleaner
Always make sure you anchor anything tall or heavy that your little one could pull onto themselves! We use the metal brackets with the metal rope connector and they seem to be holding up really well!
