2. brushes are needed to be done every day to ensure your cat sheds less, keeping fur-balls to a minimum and your furniture more clean

3. food bowls that slow down the eating process, especially when you notice your cat eating their whole meal right away and getting hungry shortly after

4. I recommend one dual food bowl for travelling and 4 separate ceramic or metal food/water bowls. Having them in separate spaces in your home allows your cat the option of where and when to feed and drink

12. my cat really likes this as it bringing water to them. It helps with them drinking more water, as dried food can cause them to have kidney stones if they don't drink enough water
