🧼 Litter Setup
A complete litter setup — designed to reduce mess, control odor, and make the daily routine easier.
We use the high-side Modkat — minimal, durable, and practical. The taller walls help contain scatter and overenthusiastic diggers, while the reusable liner system keeps cleaning simple.
Modkat Litter Box
Durable, reusable, and easy to replace — the part that makes cleaning super manageable.
Modkat Litter Box Liners
Lightweight, low-dust, and easy to manage. Tracks less than clay and works well with the Modkat box.
PrettyLitter
These are genuinely excellent. The small size is perfect for daily scooping, and they actually seal in odor — we can toss them in the bathroom bin without any smell.
BOS Amazing Odor-Sealing Bags
Minimal and effective. Catches stray litter without adding visual clutter.
Modkat Litter Mat
🍽 Meal Time
A simple, consistent feeding setup — reliable, easy to maintain, and built for routine.
We use the PETLIBRO automatic feeder for consistency and portion control. It’s reliable, easy to program, and doesn’t look overly bulky in the space. A practical upgrade that keeps feeding on schedule.
PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder
We use the KittySpout fountain to keep water fresh and moving. It’s quiet, easy to clean, and encourages better hydration without taking up too much space.
The KittySpout™ - Wireless Fountain
These are the treat that always works. Great for positive reinforcement or hiding medication. Easy to portion, minimal mess, and universally approved by my cats.
Churu Cat Treats - Inaba
Our go-to crunchy treat. Simple ingredients, solid texture, and easy to portion without overdoing it. A reliable option for something a little different from the squeeze treats.
Fog City Treats
Just regular katsuobushi from a Japanese market. It’s cheaper than buying cat-specific bonito flakes and works just as well as a topper or high-value treat. We keep it in the freezer to stay fresh — simple, effective, and always a hit!

🧸 Toys
A rotation of toys that actually get used
Mad Cat toys are consistently the ones that get actual playtime. Durable enough to survive daily use, filled with catnip, and just interesting enough to hold attention longer than most.
Mad Cat® Cat Toys
Yeowww catnip toys are strong. Packed firmly with organic catnip and no filler. Durable and reliably effective — especially if your cat responds well to catnip.
Yeowww! Catnip Toys
✂️ Grooming
The essentials for keeping coats healthy and shedding under control.
Gentle, fragrance-free, and rinses clean. A straightforward option for the rare but necessary bath.
Earthbath Cat Shampoo
For quick cleanups between baths. Gentle, fragrance-free, and useful for paws or small messes without needing a full wash.
Earthbath Hypoallergenic Cat Wipes
A practical slicker brush that actually removes loose fur without being overly harsh. The self-cleaning button makes it easy to clear out hair in one motion, which keeps brushing quick and consistent.
Safari® by Coastal® Dog Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush
🛋 Living With Cats
Comfort spots and scratching posts that fit the space
Sturdy, holds up well, and adds a bit of personality without taking over the space.
Frisco Cat Scratching Post
A felted wool cat cave that blends into the room instead of standing out. It’s structured enough to hold its shape, warm without being bulky, and actually gets used.
Cat Caves & Beds of Their Dreams - Mau Pets
A cardboard scratcher bowl that doubles as a lounging spot. It satisfies the scratching instinct and gives them a place to settle, all without taking up much visual space.
