Litter box station 😷
Ditch the plastic and embrace the stainless steel litter box in your home. It’s way easier to clean and clumps are easier to scoop! Many of these also bring a sort of lid, a scooper, a mat and a little front stool for them to climb into the box.

Avoid the mistake of buying a terrible litter for your kitty and try this one instead. Almost no dust or tracking, it clumps up very well and doesn’t stink for up to 10 days.

Tidy Cats - Free and Clean
I don’t have a litter genie at home, but shen I scoop up my cat’s litter box I put it in one of these baggies and insert it in an empty litter box (the Tidy Cats brand named in this same list). Save money and keep the odors away!

Spray some of this on top of the litter box to prevent bad odors as well! Don’t forget to clean weekly!

Your cat will LOVE having a tower even if they’re still a kitten! Put this close to a closed window and let them enjoy looking outside, take naps in the cubicles and scratch away. It keeps them away from furniture + if you store treats in these areas...

Kitties loooove these for enrichment. I would say to just avoid those with feathers cause they can eat them and it’ll most likely get stuck. Happy playing!

To try and train a cat, a lot of people have recommended to use a clicker and treats. They react wayyy better to positive reinforcement.

Travel 🧳
This is one of my must haves if I’m staying somewhere else with my cat. They typically fold up into a small circle so you’re able to travel with it easily! I had to buy one when my son had ringworm, it helped lots and he grew fond of it.

Bowls / Feeding
Help your kitty avoid whisker fatigue by feeding them with an elevated bowl once they’re a little bit bigger!

A los like this can help preserve your cat’s wet food in the fridge perfectly!

When you adopt a cat, it’s best to put a break away collar on with a bell. This ensures that if they ever get stuck somewhere, they won’t be choked. The bell will help you locate them when you can’t see them.

Train your cat to not be afraid of the outdoors with a good harness and leash! Make sure it fits them right so that they don’t escape it. Get them used to it by putting it on them for a few minutes or even hours everyday and reward them with a treat....
