From tunnels to interactive toys, these recommendations are the best for your fur baby!
I bought this tunnel thinking my boys would eventually grow out of it, but they still play with it to this day! It’s the perfect tunnel for any wild kitty who loves to run, hide, and play.
Love's Cabin 3-Way Collapsible Cat Tunnel
I first saw this ball on TikTok and thought it was probably overhyped—but after buying it, my cats are obsessed! It’s such a fun interactive toy that keeps them chasing it all day long. My only downsides are that the ball really slams into the walls ...
RivOcen 360° Rolling Cat & Dog Toy Red
I had to buy multiples of this because my cats play with it nonstop until the battery dies, so I always keep a backup ready to go! The battery life is impressive, and I love that it’s motion-activated. All my cats have to do is touch it, and it start...
Potaroma 3in1 Chargeable Cat Toy - Interactive
Another interactive toy my cats absolutely adore! It’s motion-activated, so with just the touch of a paw it’s ready for playtime. The only downside is that your kitty will definitely drool all over it, and the butterfly/feather attachments need to be...
Potaroma 3in1 Cat Toy: Butterfly, Feather, Balls
An interactive toy my cats absolutely adore! It’s motion-activated, so with just the touch of a paw it’s ready for playtime. It comes with catnip so you can put it in the bird.
Potaroma Flapping Bird Cat Toy, Rechargeable
Don’t even get me started on these… I have to hide the bag or it turns into a war zone! This toy is super affordable, and your kitty will absolutely love it. Mine literally fight over them and go completely manic the second one hits the floor. Total ...
Andiker 12 Pc Cat Spiral Spring Toy Set
This is the best toy! My boys love it! they’re wild and go crazy kicking it around. Plus, the catnip smell lasts a long time, which keeps them coming back for more.
SINROBO Catnip Kicker Toys, 3 Pack, Soft
I definitely recommend this even though it will leave a big mess, lol! As soon as my cats hear the launcher, they wait in anticipation, then go absolutely nuts when a pom-pom shoots out. Such a fun activity that keeps them entertained!
50Pcs Cat Pom Pom Balls with Launcher Set
Not a necessity, but definitely an amazing find! My cats used to love watching bird videos on YouTube, so I got them a bird feeder with one-way film—and now they can see the birds in person! They absolutely love it.
Mirrored Window Bird Feeder Clear Acrylic
Treats🦴
I’ve done a lot of research on the best and healthiest treats for my babies. These are the best ones & the ones that they go crazy over!
My cats absolutely love these! Good for their teeth and a perfect snack!
FELINE GREENIES SMARTBITES HEALTHY INDOOR Natural Treats for ...
The second this box is shook in my house, they come RUNNING. They absolutely love these in every flavor!
I’m assuming my cats love these. HOWEVER, they will growl if one tries to steal from the other’s plate. Not sure if that means it’s so good they don’t want to share, but they seem to love these! Lol
Freeze-Dried Chicken Hearts Cat Treats | Vital Essentials Raw Pet Food
Another HIT in my house. My cats absolutely adore these. I was worried they were gonna smell like fish, but they don’t really have an odor!
Vital Essentials Minnows Cat Treats 1oz
I was worried these were going to be stinky, but they have no smell! And my cats love them!
PureBites Chicken Freeze Dried Cat Treats, Only 1 Ingredient
My babies love these but they do smell stinky. Not sure if that’s a good thing lol
One of the most important things to have is healthy food for your baby, and these recommendations are the best!
I HIGHLY recommend Hill’s! They offer a wide variety of foods tailored to different needs (digestion, hairball control, weight management, and more). They also have options for every life stage, from kittens to senior cats. A great choice for keeping...
Hill's Science Diet Adult 1-6 Dry Cat Food
Grooming🛁
Although cats are able to groom themselves, these are a couple of grooming necessities to help your baby have the best life!
I definitely recommend having a good nail clipper! Kittens can be little maniacs and destroy everything in sight. I usually trim their nails when they’re most vulnerable… fast asleep, lol. It’s also best to start clipping when they’re young so they g...
PET REPUBLIQUE Symmetrical Cat Nail Clipper
If you have a super hairy fur baby, you definitely need this! When cats start coughing a lot from their hair, I put just a tiny bit on their paws. They lick it off easily, and it really helps them bring those hairballs right up. Such a lifesaver!
Tomlyn Laxatone Catnip Hairball Gel 4.25oz
My vet always comments on how great my cats’ teeth look! They don’t even notice it in their water, so I don’t think it has any flavor. I really feel this product is helping their oral health!
Oxyfresh Premium Pet Dental Care Water Additive
This brush is amazing for reducing hair around the house! My cats actually enjoy being brushed with it, and the best part is the button that lets you pop the hair right off and toss it in the garbage. Super convenient and effective!
Aumuca Dog Brush for Shedding & Grooming
Yes, cat acne is a thing! Sometimes my kittens (I have 2 3-month-old nuggets) get build up of food on their face and then I see some irritation and build up of oils. Also, classic boys don’t groom themselves as nice as the girlies! Lol This is perfec...
Douxo S3 Pyo Pads 3% Chlorhexidine 0.5% Ophytrium
Litter🚽
Personally, this is the most effective litter & litterbox accessories that will leave your baby happy and healthy!
I know everyone has different preferences when it comes to litter, but I personally love using clay litter! The price is affordable for the amount you get, and it lasts me a long time. I’ve noticed there’s no odor, and while it does leave a little me...
Purina Tidy Cats Clumping Cat Litter 16 lb
This is my favorite mat! It’s super affordable and does a great job catching litter. I keep it right next to the box so my cats have clean paws when they walk around the house.
Pieviev Cat Litter Mat Waterproof Gray 24x15
I personally recommend having a stainless steel litter box at home. It’s affordable and will block out any odor from the box. Plastic boxes are able to have odor stuck in the sides, and your fur babies will scratch the side of the box, leading to con...
Stainless Steel Litter Box
While this is a pricey option, I have one and love it! No odor in my house, and you can empty the waste container every couple of weeks! My babies love this and it leaves them with a fresh box after every use. If you are able to invest in one of thes...

Bed/Lounge🛏️
Kitties love to have their own space too! These are some of the beds/cat condos I have at home that my babies love!
This cat tunnel is the best! My boys absolutely love it. They play, hide, and even nap inside like it’s their own little home. Such a great find!
Lesure Cat Tunnel Bed - Cute Donut Toy
One of the BEST finds I love this! My cats range from 8–15 pounds, and it holds them perfectly. The suction cups keep it securely in place without leaving any marks or damage, and I even have multiple set up throughout my house.
AMOSIJOY Cordless Cat Window Perch with Suction Cups
This is the best cat tree, in my opinion! It’s tall enough for your kitty to climb to the top and oversee the whole house, or they can relax in the little hideaway at the bottom. My cats especially love the bowl, they even fight over it!
