The Armarkat real wood cat tree feels far sturdier than the wobbly carpet towers we had before. The solid pine platforms hold our biggest cat without rocking, and the natural wood looks nice next to our bookshelves. The condo and top perch give both ...

The PawHut four level cat tree gives our cats a place to climb, scratch, and nap all in one spot. The sisal posts pulled their claws away from our sofa within a week. It was easy to put together in one evening, and the natural wood tones blend nicely...

The Go Pet Club cat tree is a great value for a tall tower with lots of perches and hideaways. Our cats spend hours chasing each other up and down the levels. It came with everything we needed to assemble, and it has held up well to two very energeti...

The PetFusion Ultimate scratcher lounge is the only scratcher our cats use every single day. The curved shape doubles as a bed, so they scratch, stretch, and then nap right on it. It is reversible, which makes it last much longer, and it saved the ar...

The Litter-Robot is the upgrade that changed life with cats in our house. It sifts the litter automatically after each visit, so the box always stays clean and the smell stays away. I now empty the drawer about once a week instead of scooping every d...

The PetSafe ScoopFree was our first self-cleaning litter box, and it is a great starting point. The rake sweeps waste into a covered tray a little while after our cat leaves, and the crystal litter keeps odors down. When the tray is full, I toss it a...

The IRIS top entry litter box ended the litter tracking problem in our hallway. Our cats hop in from the top, and the grooved lid catches litter from their paws as they climb out. It also keeps our dog out of the box, which alone made it worth the sw...

Our cats drink much more water since we added the Catit Pixi smart fountain. The gentle flowing stream is far more tempting than a still bowl, and the filter keeps the water fresh. It is quiet enough to sit in our kitchen, and the app reminds me when...

The K and H Thermo-Kitty mat is our older cat's favorite spot on chilly mornings. It gently warms to her body temperature, so it never gets too hot. We keep it on the window seat, and she curls up there as soon as the weather turns cold, purring the ...

The Best Friends by Sheri calming donut bed is the softest spot in our house. The raised rim lets our cat tuck her head in and curl up, and the shaggy faux fur feels so cozy. It washes easily in the machine, and it holds its shape after many washes.
