This post was originally published on May 24, 2014. I wanted to provide an update on our favorite products. New Comments are in BOLD
I always find it interesting to see what products other cat owners love. Reading what other pet owners had to say prompted quite a few of the items on my list!
New Things on the List for 2020
Nature’s Miracle Disposable Litter Box, 2-in-1 Disposable Cat Litter Box
Our traditional litter boxes were so scratched and getting really hard to clean. Oliver was having some litter box issues – he would sniff the sides of each box before going off to pee somewhere else. My coworker told me he buys these for his cat and then just throws the whole box out at the end of the month. I buy the 3 pack and have it set to deliver monthly through Amazon Subscribe and Save. No more scrubbing or soaking the litter box to get clean! The boxes are made from recycled paper and land-fill safe! Pro-Tip – stick with the Jumbo size unless you have kittens. The regular size is pretty small!
MidWest Wood Wire Mesh Pet Gate
We originally got this to keep the cats out of the kitchen when we were cooking or eating, but It came in really handy when we took in Patches. It is 44 Inches Tall – much taller than regular gates and it can expand from 29″ to 50″ wide. Our kitchen entryway is exactly 29″ which is apparently smaller than standard doorways. Most gates on the market couldn’t go that small. We currently use this gate to keep the cats out of the fan-cave when we aren’t in there. They are more than welcome to come in when we are there. We finished the fan-cave just in time for this last NFL season, complete with a custom-built bar, and shelves for liquor. There are also tons of memorabilia on the walls. Given our cat’s tendency to climb and knock things over – they can only be in there with supervision.
This was the first fountain we tried that our cats would actually drink from. It is very quiet and since the water is always circulating it doesn’t get slimy like other fountains. We actually purchased a second one when Patches was with us and sent her home with it because she loved it so much. We usually purchase the generic filters and it seems to work just fine. We did have to get a replacement pump – but after reading amazon reviews we found a generic one that was much cheaper and worked just as well.
The cat tree and glitter balls make me want to get a cat – the other things not so much 🙂 Hubby insists he is allergic to fluffy cats (the only kind I like) so there’s no chance anyway!
i’m VERY allergic to cats – but i know someone who would definitely appreciate this 😀
I don’t have cats anymore. I now have a dog and we go thru alot of toys. Most of them come from The Dollar Store so pretty affordable. It’s a lucky cat that gets a Cat Tree.
You might like the Pet Urine Stain Finder that I posted about today in a review. I have cats and use many of these products!
Thanks! Im checking out your review now. We have a big black light that came with whatever Urine Stain Remover we got at the pet store. Your right, it makes you want to tear out your rugs because it shows you every little thing!
