While cats may be more low-maintenance than their canine counterparts, they are not no-maintenance
Photo: Courtesy of the retailer Although cats are generally considered lower-maintenance pets than dogs, there’s still a lot of gear — including food bowls, litter boxes, toys, carriers, and more — you’ll need when adopting a new kitten or an adult cat. Since adopting two cats eight years ago , I’ve tried out a lot of cat gear, and have pretty strong opinions on the items worth buying.
$5 at Chewy Buy Pawfect Pets Premium Elevated Dog & Cat Diner $25 You definitely don’t need a fancy wooden stand like this for your cat’s food and water bowls, but it sure makes them look classier. I have a similar one from a now-defunct Etsy store, and I find it makes my cat’s feeding area look that much more put together. Plus, you don’t have to deal with cats pushing around or knocking over their bowls.
$3 at Chewy Buy Maison La Queue Compact Designer Cat Litter Scoop & Base You’re going to be doing a lot of litter scooping, so I think it’s worth investing in a scooper that’s durable, cleans up quickly, and comes with a holder so it’s hidden when not in use. I’ve had this one for several years and it still looks great. It has a streamlined minimal style that doesn’t scream “poop scooper.”
$17 at Amazon Buy $17 at Amazon Buy Playtime essentials for cats Yeowww! Catnip Toy $5 Whether your cat loves toys or is generally indifferent to them, I can almost guarantee she will freak out over this catnip-filled banana. As she’s gotten older, my cat has become less interested in playing, but she still can’t resist the banana.
$45 at Amazon Buy $45 at Chewy Buy PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge Cats also like to scratch on horizontal surfaces, and although this scratching board is cardboard, I’ve had one for a few years and it has held up pretty well. I keep mine by a windowsill, where it can double as a little perch for my cat to sit on and look outside.
