It comes with 50 treats (25 tuna, 25 chicken). They don't contain any grains, preservatives, or artificial flavors or colors. If your cat is notorious for not drinking enough water, these provide extra hydration in the form of a tasty treat. You can also try the Skin & Coat variety, which is enriched with Omega fatty acids to help maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat!

Promising review: "Now I haven't tasted it myself but from my cat's reaction, she loves it. She does not mind her manners at all when she sees the tube come out. I think she would rip my arm off the get to it if she could. She enjoys all the flavors. I started off letting her lick it from the tube but she got a bit messy slobbering all over it and me so now I squeeze some on a little plate and let her go to town. I sometimes use it to get her to eat her food but she is clever. She licks it off the food and leaves the apparently nasty food there. Anyway, I recommend them. My cat can be picky but she loves — and that is not a strong enough word — these." —Tracy Brethorst

The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic, nontoxic products for other passionate cat owners.

Promising review: "I have been a customer for about a year now, and ever since the first time when we gave her gentle pets while she ate the grass, she’s now developed a whole daily routine! She meows at us every morning, demanding that we come and sit with her and pet her while she munches happily on the grass. It’s become such an important part of her daily routine that we bought two of the planters so that she can always have fresh grass." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "None of my cats like to play with toys! They have so much energy but would get bored with any toy within days. I tried rotating them and interactive toys, anything and everything for hours and at different times. There is nothing that has kept my cats busy like these grooming tools! I have literally never seen any of them sit and mess with something for more than a few minutes but my cats will rub on this for like 20 min at a time. 100% worth the money!" —Amazon Customer

P.S. Don't forget to add some catnip to your cart so you can make your cat an offer they can't refuse!

Promising review: "I've spent a crap ton on toys for my picky cat only for him to ignore them. My co-worker gave me one of these unassuming bananas and it's like crack for cats! He can't get enough! I got three for backup. They are durable (I don't clip his claws) and the right size to hold and kick. Smoosh and twist to activate the catnip and he's ready to play. This is a staple in his toy box now." —Lan

This is def a splurge purchase but I've had mine for about six months and have ~no regrets~ whatsoever. My high-energy cat has deemed this her safe place where she'll stare out the window birdwatching for hours and eventually give into a nap. It's also a huge help when she has the indoor zoomies and races around the house to burn off energy. She always comes right back to the cat tree to swat the pom-pom balls and go to town on the scratching posts! I personally appreciate that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and actually matches the aesthetic in my space without taking over the whole room. The quality is *chef's kiss* amazing, too.

Mau is a small biz founded by cat lovers who want to provide modern aesthetically pleasing cat furniture made from sustainable materials.

Promising review: "Wow! Not only is this the best looking cat tree, my two kittens jumped right up and started playing, and then napping, immediately. It’s really sturdy, too. One of my kittens is a Maine Coon, and it’s not wobbly like the carpeted trees you get at the pet store. Assembly instructions were the best I’ve ever used; everything was labeled and numbered, and it was helpful to watch the video first. All around, this is a high-quality product that works well and looks great while doing it!" —Paula Maroulis

Don't forget to purchase a three-pack of replacement filters so your kitty never has to be without their precious fountain!

Promising review: "One of my cats has a health condition that makes it essential for her to drink as much water as possible, so I decided to try this fountain since it mimics the sink faucet more than the others I have. As soon as I turned it on, she came running, and she's loving it. It's small and plastic, so it's lightweight but probably easier to break than the metal one I have. It's very quiet, and the other cat (who doesn't seem to care about running water) has no problem drinking from the bowl portion. It was easy to assemble and seems easy to clean." —Bonnie A. Franz

The touch-activated purr pillow is available as a purple kitty or a blue sloth. Petstages offers other soothing toys, including a glow-in-the-dark mouse that contains catnip.

Promising review: "Our kitten, Spazz, LOVES the Purr Pillow!!! He loves to tackle and body slam the purple guy, as we call it, and grab it, bite it, and kick it with his hind legs! If there were ever a soft plush kitten/cat toy that can take extreme punishment, the Purr Pillow is it!!! He loves it so much, that when we give it to him, he'll run off with it in his mouth and put it in his special mini cardboard box. The Purr Pillow is more than worth its cost!!!" —Denice C.

Get it from Amazon for $13.96 (available in three styles and five colors).

Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him the happiest. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes had this to say: "I have this exact toy for my cats, and it's easily their favorite thing to play with — and they have a lot of toys. I first noticed they loved string because they tore apart a mouse toy that was basically string wrapped around a plastic mouse shape — they didn't care about the mouse, but they loved the torn-apart string (aka literal trash at this point). I got this rainbow toy because I realized they really just wanted to chase long tail-like objects, and they sure do light up whenever they see me pick up this wand and know that it's playtime. I love that it's long, so I can just sit on my couch and whisk it around the area, and even shy little Chicho, who likes to sit further back and watch while his older brother plays (as seen in the GIF above), can still bat at it. It's a super simple toy, but the amount of joy it'll probably bring your kitty is worth every penny."

Promising review: "We bought one of these about five years ago, and it was a hit. It has been well used and finally starting to fray a bit. We have a new kitten, and she absolutely loves this toy. Like others have said, she will drag this thing around and bring it to us to get us to play with her. I just ordered another one." —Jayster

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

Promising review: "I read a LOT of reviews before I buy something. I want to be sure to put my money to good use. This was well worth every penny. Not only was it easy to set up but my cats LOVE it. I have two cats (one is twelve pounds and one is eight pounds). They both comfortably fit in here with a ton of room to walk around and play. I throw this thing up on my balcony for what we lovingly call 'tent time' and they come running to the door. They sit in here and watch the birds and never want to come out. It is very easy to get them in and out and so far, is completely durable. BUY THIS!" —Amber

I'll be honest, I didn't expect much when I bought this toy but I was pleasantly surprised when my cat took to it right away. She'll play with it when she's full of energy as well as when she wants some lazy playtime before bed. It comes with six balls – three solid colors and three with bells inside. I keep the three solid balls in the tower (she hasn't been able to knock any loose yet!) and the others on reserve for swatting around the house.

Promising review: "I recently rescued two domestic shorthair kittens and needed a variety of toys for them to play with and to keep them occupied. This toy is one of their favorites and they have endless amounts of fun with it, they’re so engaged whenever they start playing with the balls. I never want to take it away from them. This is definitely a great product for any current or would be cat owners." —JayHawk

PKWS is a small business in Kyiv City, Ukraine that is owned by artist Yaroslav. You can find mountain climbers in all sorts of colors if you browse through the Etsy shop!

Promising review: "I bought multiple items from this vendor and everything came relatively quickly given it’s shipped abroad. And I and my cat absolutely loved how everything turned out!! Strongly recommend!!" —Helen Zheng

Get it from PKWS on Etsy for $123+ (originally $205; available in five sets and six colors).

Promising review: "My cats (kitten and adult) and my adult dogs all enjoy this toy. As long as it's on, they are playing hard. When I turn it off or it runs out of juice and I have to recharge it, they are sad and keep looking for the laser that is no longer there. When I pick it up to activate it, especially my kittens know what's coming and they follow me where ever I go with it, meaning they are waiting to play with it. Totally worth the money spent!" —Amazon Customer

Listen up, people. If your cat loves to take their scratching habit out on your furniture, you absolutely *need* one of these in your home. They're especially great for kitties who automatically take up residence in any cardboard box you bring into the house 😆 (iykyk). These last a really long time, so you only need to buy 'em every few months — maybe more often in a multi-cat household. It comes with a box, three scratching pad refills, and three small bags of catnip. The scratching pads are reversible, so you can flip it over once the first side is destroyed and get more use out of it. I keep one of these in the living room and one in my bedroom and my cat has no interest in scratching anything else now. Also, she loves these so much that she'll often end up taking a little snooze inside of the box!

Promising review: "I have a cat that only likes a few things, and she obsesses over those things. Cardboard scratchers are one of her favorite things. I love that this comes with three inserts that can be flipped over. Basically it's six scratchers. This will last her several months and we will be back for more when she goes through them all. Also, the price for this item was so much better than many others I see out there." —Samantha

This is made of sisal wood, which is stronger and sturdier than cardboard (the common material for scratching posts).

Promising review: "The average cat scratching post is a hideous blend of string and beige carpet that sucks the soul from any room in which it is placed. Not this one. This scratching post is sleek, well made and unassuming, blending easily into any room. It arrived well packaged and was easy to install with the hardware provided. Furthermore, it is robustly constructed and stands up to constant use by my cat." —D James

Take it from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower: "Not only does my cat sleep in this every day, she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment."

Promising review: "The cats love it! They bird watch in it until they fall asleep. They also play with the stuffed fruit, which I didn't think they would. Both seem to enjoy, and they fight over it at times. I bought the large. Very happy with this purchase! My cats are picky, and most things I buy turn out to be a waste, not this one!" —A Hutch

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes swears by it: "This is THE cat bed, y'all. Neither of my cats have ever really taken to a cat bed and much preferred to doze on their cat tree or curl up on a regular blanket — until I finally caved in and bought the Aspen self-warming bed a while back. IMMEDIATELY upon placing it on my couch, one of my cats crawled into it and happily began napping. As soon as he moved away, my other cat jumped in to take it for a test run as well — and immediately curled up as well. After about a week of them taking turns using it (literally, the cat *not* in the bed would lay next to it waiting for the other to leave — my polite boys 🥹), I realized I needed to buy a second one. They immediately took to that one as well, and now, they both have access to their favorite bed whenever they like!

Whenever I put my hand underneath them, I can definitely feel how warm they are underneath, so the bed's self-warming feature seems to work well. I think what they love most about it is the shape and how unbelievably cushy it is. And the sides of the bed are supportive enough for them to put their heads on, but still flexible enough for them to stretch out however they like. While the listing recommends this bed for cats under 10 pounds, larger cats will be just fine, as Sneaky is quite large (his affectionate nickname is "Chonky"), and he adores this bed. Most of all, I love knowing they won't be cold at night, especially when I'm away from home. Knowing I'll never have to waste money on another cat bed that sits unused is just the cherry on top. Highly recommend!!"

Promising review: "Bought this bundle for my three cats. They love it all!!! The tunnel is bigger than I expected. It can fit all three of my 1+ year old, average weight, female, domestic short hairs. Tight fit with all three of them but bigger than I thought anyway! Room to run and turn around. The toys are super fun!!! So many fun colors and textures — there’s something in here that each of my cats likes. I think this is a great deal!!!!" —Eli

My cat inherited this toy from a family friend, but she actually loves it a lot. The minute she sees the tail start flopping, she goes to town on this fish. It's easy to recharge the battery and it lasts a surprisingly long time, too! Did I mention it comes with catnip?

Promising review: "Best cat toy. My cat absolutely loves this fish. Well worth the price to keep my cat entertained." —Joanne

Meowy Janes is a New Jersey-based small business that specializes in catnip alternatives. They work with sustainable, family-owned farms to source their natural products.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart gave these to her kitties: "I recently tried some of these out with my cats and they were a hit! TBH they've never really been super into catnip — they'll play with it but they don't go wild — so I was excited to see they were into these. They bat them around, rub their faces all over them, and ultimately, when they're done, hide them under a chair or in their cat condo so they can come back to them later."

Promising review: "I have two cats, one special needs almost blind kitty, and one very lovey-dovey, very vocal kitty. The special needs kitty has not warmed up to these yet, but she usually needs extra time with new things. But my talkative kitty just loves them! I scraped off some bark as instructed, and she gnawed, tossed, chased and altogether enjoyed them." —Grace Cook

Promising review: "I love this! We didn’t have a good place to make a hole in the wall to our backyard but we do have low windows next to our fireplace, so it was a match to get this window door. It was super easy to install and we love the locking feature. We got a snow storm and it took a while for our garden beds to stop being muddy. We locked the door so kitty wouldn’t bring in mud. I will say it is a bit drafty, so we got an extra weather strip to secure the draftiness. Our kitty only took a couple of days to get used to it too. We put his food just outside the window and he had to get used to going out there to get his food. All in all it was a great buy!" —AlyHowell

Promising reviews: "We adopted a 13 year old indoor-outdoor cat after a friend passed away last year. Instead of allowing him to continue to go outside with the coyotes and raccoons, we purchased the Paw Hut Catio kit. Our boy loves the fact that he can still go outside and we love that he's protected. The materials are sturdy and it was relatively easy to put together. We're all very happy campers!" —MimiB

"It's perfect. Very easy to put together. Two people make it slightly easier, but it's still easy for one person. We will be altering ours to include a cat door through a window." —Sayward C.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "Chicho loves letting out his play aggression on this toy, especially whenever I give it a fresh spray of catnip. He does more than just kick it though — he licks it, rubs his head on it, rolls around with it, and generally just hugs onto it for a while, like you can see in the gif above. Though he tends to prefer more interactive playtime with me involved, this toy keeps him busy whenever I don't have time to stop what I'm doing and toss his toys around for an hour. Also, all cat owners know how cheap and flimsy many cat toys are, so I've been trying to pick up more high-quality toys for my cats that'll last for years. With its handmade wooden and sisal make, this is definitely one of those toys. Also, there's a rattle inside for extra sensory stimulation!"

Hoff-N-Paw Pet Toys is a small Etsy shop based in Chicago, Illinois.

Promising review: "This cat toy is exactly as advertised. I have four cats and even the one old lady who doesn't care much for catnip loves playing with the scratcher! The lil' peanut was all over the envelope before we even got it open (and when her brother took a turn playing with the toy, she managed to cram herself almost completely into the envelope)." —Amy

Like many pet owners who venture into the world of automatic feeders, my cat was waking me up at the crack of dawn begging for food. She was also eating all her food in one sitting and constantly begging for more, which is another problem the auto feeder helped solve. You can set it to dispense up to six feedings per day and you're also able to control the portion size of each feeding. I did a LOT of research before landing on this feeder and these were two of the major selling points for me. There is also the option of dispensing manual feedings if necessary.

The twist-lock storage lid is a lifesaver if you have a curious cat who tries to get into everything. You can even record a 10-second message to call your kitty to come eat when the food dispenses! There's a sensor that lets you know when the food level is getting low (it lets you know WAY in advance of it actually running out, which is nice) or if food is stuck in the chute. The feeder plugs into the wall but you can also add three D-cell batteries, which ensures that the feeder will continue to run in the event of a power outage. My cat no longer wakes me up at ungodly hours crying for food. She has developed normal eating habits (no more gorging!) and is maintaining a healthy weight without any issues.

Promising review: "Got this for my 9-lb cat who thinks breakfast should be promptly served at 5 am. It was easy to program, easy to clean, and I love that the top latches because my fur baby is known to pry into any food container she can. The portion sizes are small, three portions is 1/4 a cup using Blue Buffalo adult cat food, which is nice for making sure I don't overfeed my little girl. Overall very happy with my purchase." —Kat

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in colors black and white).

Promising review: "I had been using some raised bowls with flat tops that worked well to prevent regurgitation, but the cats would push the food over the sides while they were eating. The tilted design of these bowls makes it so they can push the kibble against the back without making a mess. The food goes back down to the bottom so they don't look empty before they are. They are true ceramic and heavy weight so they can't knock them down easily and they look super cute. I would definitely not run these through the dishwasher due to the small firing hole in the base, but the glossy finish will make them easy to wipe clean." —Hanna B.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says: "Sleeping and being nosy are two of my cats' favorite activities so they were instantly drawn to this hammock. I have it on a window that faces our backyard so they can watch birds, people, and trash that just floats by (<3 you Brooklyn). It's very sturdy and we haven't had any issues with it falling."

Promising review: "Epic!!! I have a cat window bed that has top cable top mount support and THIS design with bottom post mount support is soooooooooooo much better!! The bottom mount support allows for 100% unobstructed jump entry, it has a longer bed, and it just looks better without the top mount cables. Both of my cats love it so much that I’m purchasing another one to replace their old bed. I'll possibly stagger them on my sliding glass door!! Epic!!" —Diggslife

Get it from Amazon for $24.49+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

It comes with a cotton canvas tent, pine wooden poles for setting it up, and pom-pom pad for them to lay on (though of course you could put your own bed on top of it). Reviewers say it's spacious enough for big cats too!

Promising review: "This is hands-down the most adorable cat bed ever! They love it. They barely waited on me to finish before they crawled in. I'm in love! It easily fits my 20-pound girl PLUS two other normal-sized kitties inside." —Beevil

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes uses this toy: "I purchased this feeder back in January because Chicho is a little ball of energy and needs regular mental stimulation, or he'll whine and stare at me and whine some more (super fun while I'm trying to WFH). Thankfully, he LOVES this. I literally put his regular dry kibble in there, which he already has full access to in his food bowl in the kitchen, but for some reason, putting his paw in these tubes and digging them out one by one really does it for him. I only use it as a playtime toy when he needs attention and I can't give it to him, not as a regular feeding device, but plenty of reviewers said their kitties eat full meals from it (and finally *aren't* throwing up). If your cat is often bored and meowing for attention, I say give this a shot!"

Promising review: "My cat is very food motivated and loves to grab at things with his little paws. This feeder is a huge hit at treat time. He makes quick work of the puzzle, and he seems to really enjoy it. I mix up the kinds of treats in each cup, and in the bigger cups, I hide catnip or treats under other toys for him to sniff out. This feeder keeps his little snoot and beans busy." —Raechel Canipe
