Cat Trees and Toys
Even though cats are known for being independent and self-sufficient, you’ll still need to stock up on a few essential cat supplies for your home. Once you’ve covered the basics like a litter box, a food bowl and water fountain, the right type of food and a collar, it’s time to treat your kitty to some stimulating toys, trees and scratching posts. Let’s explore some of the best items to buy to keep your feline friend engaged and happy.
Kitty’s Got Claws
Cat towers, trees and scratching posts help remove the outer layer from your cat’s nails and serve as stress relievers. When a cat scratches, it releases a “feel-good” hormone like the endorphins humans feel when working out. And speaking of stress relievers, cat chew toys and cat teething toys will also help your fur buddy burn off some steam. Plus, they’ll help clean your cat’s teeth, keep them stimulated and give them a little bit of exercise, too.
Laser-Like Focus
Discover interactive toys that reward your cat in the end. Cat puzzle toys are mentally stimulating and often feature delicious cat treats as a prize. Some of the best cat toys for bored cats are the ones that make noise or move. Check out crinkle cat toys that’ll pique their curiosity or electronic cat toys that move around like actual mice, playing to your cat’s instinctual prey drive. If you’re shopping for cat toys for kittens, keep an eye out for chewable toys or cat enrichment toys like wands or bouncy balls they can chase and pounce on.
Window and Chill
Most cats will spend 12 to 18 hours per day sleeping, so a good cat bed is necessary. If your kitty insists on sleeping on the furniture, a pet cover is a great option you can use to protect your couches and armchairs. Plus, they’re much easier to throw in the washer. If your home has enough space, consider larger cat furniture like a catio or a tiered kitty shelter that has multiple levels and enclosed spaces where your BFF can retreat for a quick nap.
