Must Haves for A New Cat Parent
9
items I decided to grow my family by adopting a cat from a rescue. Having never had a cat before, it has come with some growing pains. This list will include everything I have gotten for my new gray tabby named Echo.
Echo has become quite a fan of this. Not only is it adorable to set around the house, but it also has a daisy on an elastic string that springs back and bounces around as Echo swats at it. It also provides a place for her to sit on the top.
Whisker City® Yellow Flower Scratching Post
Echo goes absolutely crazy for this! She will jump and pounce and it's just fun to watch her play.
Whisker City® Multi Ribbon Boa Teaser Toy Wand
Admittedly, I did get this and she hasn't quite figured it out. She just brushes up against it but it doesn't quite get her riled up.
Whisker City® Under the Sea Mobile Cat Toy
Yes, I did get my cat a dog bed... It was too cute not to. Echo lays in it from time to time but she would rather lay on top of my couch. Still, it's a cute addition and a soft place for her to lay.
Thrills & Chills® Orange Plaid Spooky Cuddler Dog Bed - Black, Gray & Orange
I absolutely love this thing! When I first got Echo, she was forever at her water bowl and this kept fresh water for her at all times. This is a great option if you have to leave your cat for extended periods of time.
Whisker City® Gravity Cat Waterer, .75-gal
If you have a cat that doesn't gobble their food down and get sick, this is also the perfect thing to have for them. You don't have to worry about refilling their food at all times and is great for an extended stay away from your cat.
Whisker City® Modern Gravity Cat Feeder, 1-lb
This has honestly saved me. My main concern having a cat was worrying about the smell from the litter box. This hasn't been an issue so far with this kit. The urine filters through the pellet litter and soaks into a pad in the bottom which helps with...
Purina Tidy Cats Breeze Hooded Cat Litter Box System Starter Kit - Litter Box, Pellets & Pads
I think this has also helped greatly with the litter box smell. I did need to utilize a command strip but then I stuck it to the inside wall on the dome of the litter box and I haven't smelled a thing when Echo goes to the bathroom!
Fresh Step Deodorizing Gel Pod
Since Echo has been getting sick from eating dry food, I did have to transition into a wet food diet. This includes smearing her food across a plate for slower feeding. This mat has been perfect for making sure the plate doesn't slide everywhere and ...
