1. A Petlibro Dockstream cat fountain with a wireless pump since some cats enjoy running water as opposed to water that sits still in a bowl. This fountain filters water to ensure that your cat has a crisp and clean drink at all times. The fountain connects to an app, so you can track how much water your kitty is drinking, when the fountain is disconnected from its dock, and when it's time for a filter change! Plus! Its wireless dock makes cleaning the main vessel super simple.

Cheri / Chewy, jiong / Chewy

Promising review: "Very soundless machine. All three of my cats love it, and it’s super easy to keep track of water levels and filter life with the app. I also really love being at work or out and about and getting a notification that somebody drank from one of the fountains! Very cute and blends in with my apartment seamlessly." —Aurelia

Get it from Chewy for $71.99 (originally $79.99).

2. A cave cat bed, because cats love to lounge in enclosed spaces. This super-plush bed gives a sense of security to your elderly cat who may no longer have the energy to reach their go-to cozy napping place at the top of your closet.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My cat lay down inside this bed as soon as I took it out of the package. She sleeps on top and inside. She’s very old and sick, so she likes the warmth." —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven colors and two styles).

3. A pair of grooming gloves so you can comb your cat while petting them simultaneously. With 255 silicone grooming tips, your cat can finally slip into a state of calm as you massage their excess fur away.

Promising review: "I had a big-brand shedding brush that my girls seemed to hate. They tolerated this glove much better, and it got a lot more fur in less time. One of them even purred. Worked really well!" —Julia

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six colors).

4. An orthopedic window hammock that molds to your cat's body to help soothe any muscle or joint pain they may have. Think of this bed like a body pillow for your four-legged buddy.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "It was easy to put together, and no installation is required; it simply fits onto the window track and rests on the wall below. No holes made in your walls is a big plus! It is very sturdy but can be easily relocated if needed. I have two cats, and both fit quite comfortably together. The material is of great quality, and the bed portion is thick, super soft, and cushy. This has become their favorite place to nap or watch birds." —Jeff Drew

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four colors).

5. A bucket of Greenies dental treats because a lack of opposable thumbs makes it hard for your cat to brush their teeth. These treats promote gum and tooth health as your fur babies chew on these delicious treats. Plus, they also freshen your cat's breath, which is always welcome.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these treats hoping to improve one of my cats' breath, and the day we got them, all of our cats devoured them (I gave them about six treats each). In fact, after I put them away, our Maine coon got on the kitchen counter and was trying to knock the treat container down to open it up. He definitely wanted more." —Sheila B.

Get it from Amazon for $3.28+ (available in two sizes, three flavors, and two-packs).

6. A plush purring pillow for cats who need to feel like they're always cuddling something. This is great for cats of all ages who crave plush textures and soothing sounds as they snooze away.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this toy for my senior cat with night-time dementia. While I was suspicious because of the price and toy form (it is just a soft shell except for the sound box), she loved it. It only purrs for two minutes, but that is usually enough to help her calm down. She often sleeps snuggled up with it and even uses it as a pillow! We haven't had to wash it yet, but removing the sound box and tossing it in the wash will be easy. I don't know how effective it would be for a busy kitten, but it is perfect for this old gal." —Nicole Brown

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two designs).

7. An interactive laser pointer, because playtime is not just about having fun — it's important for keeping your cat active and maintaining their cognitive health, too.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have two very active cats, and they both love chasing the red dot. But the standard ones require me to push the tiny button, and sometimes I am utterly swamped with work. So I ordered this for them, and they are HUGE FANS. They hear it whirr on, and they are all set to play for 15 minutes. They know exactly where the red dot comes from, but they don't care! Fun to watch them play, and it keeps them out of my hair for a while!" —Dawn

Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in four styles).

8. Acatnip alternative variety box if you're tired of cleaning up piles of dusty catnip, but still want to give your feline pal something that will calm their nerves throughout the day. OK, this kit still has catnip inside for days where you can actively clean up after your cat, but it also contains chew sticks to pump them up (and entertain them!) mess free while you're busy working!

Meowy Janes / Etsy

The box includes matatabi chew sticks, silvervine powder, valerian root, and an all-natural blend of catnip packed with the most potent part of the plant: its flowers. 

Meowy Janes is a small New Jersey-based business that sells all-natural catnip and alternatives, such as whole silvervine fruit.

Promising reviews: "Arrived quickly, and the cats are enjoying it thoroughly. Our kitten, after playing with some of the catnip, got bold enough to approach our new rescue dogs!" —Jennifer

"This is the third or fourth year in a row I’ve bought this for a friend to spoil their cats with. The cat truly seems to love the silver vine powder and other items. Great for spoiling the kitty in your life." —Sandra Wills

Get it from Meowy Janes on Etsy for $44.45+ (available with up to four refillable toys). 

9. A grooming brush for cats who have some extra knots in their fur from writhing around all day. This brush has an easy fur-release button, too, meaning you won't have to worry about anything but listening to your kitty purr as you rid them of a matted coat.

Amazon

Promising review: "This brush is 10x more comfortable for my cat, while still pulling a decent amount of shed hair. Cleaning it is AMAZING. Just press the button, pull the pad of hair off, and it doesn't fill up until after nearly a full session of brushing. It is not taking off as much hair as the Furminator, but the fact that he doesn't get instantly annoyed and thus I can brush for longer and create a more positive experience for him is important." —The Horse Doc

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five styles).

10. A Greenies Pill Pocket treat that is just like sneaking veggies into a picky eater's meal. Simply place your cat's pill inside the treat, mold the soft treat around the pill, and watch them enjoy every last bite of what they think is a yummy snack.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These Pill Pockets make life so much easier! Saves a twice-a-day fight! It only takes a second to place the pills inside and pinch shut. My cat loves the treat!" —Melissa

Get a 45-count from Amazon for $6.48.

11. An interactive roller cat toy, because playing isn't just for kittens! Playtime is vital to ensuring that your cat can maintain their physical health and mental awareness throughout their life. I have this toy, and my two cats play with it for hours on end.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this for our cats because their plastic roller exerciser broke. The ball kept coming out. This roller exerciser has exceeded my expectations. The toy is well-built and made of bamboo. It is easy to assemble and clean with a damp rag. Our kittens love their new toy, and it keeps them entertained. Our older cats are even playing with it. This is a good quality toy that will last longer than any other toy. I highly recommend this toy. I would purchase again." —Bvolbr

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes).

12. A slow feeder puzzle that's essentially like a maze — but for your cat's food. This'll help them tap into their hunting instincts while helping quick eaters take their time with dinner.

amazon.com

Promising review: "We run a rescue and have many cats. This toy was a hit. The year-olds immediately went to work while the older cats came up and watched intently. It wasn't too hard nor too easy and kept their interest without frustrating them. I purchased another for my daughter's cats. Both were enthralled and kept very busy. This puzzle is a win!" —texasquilter

Get it from Amazon for $16.69+ (available in two styles).

13. A Catit interactive roller circuit that will preoccupy your cat while you try to get some typing done. (Why is it that cats always want your attention while you're typing?!)

amazon.com

Promising review: "My cat and the cats I cat sit for have all loved playing with this toy! I ended up buying two so I can make one continuous loop, so the ball continues to move. The cats seem to like it in a room that is not really bright, so the lit-up ball shows more. I also find cats like to sit in the center of the track." —j t n

Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in three styles/sizes).

14. A PetSafe feeder ball that'll keep mealtime fun, while simultaneously stimulating your cat's mind with play.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Our cats love this, and it's the perfect way to give them food overnight without them eating all of it within the first 30 minutes and vomiting on the kitchen floor! They really like the challenge, and the size makes it really easy to regulate the amount of food we are giving them. We got two of them so they could both play/eat, and that really solved our problems." —Charity Crabtree

Get it from Amazon for $7.95 (available in four colors).

15. An interactive tunnel, because it's essentially like the cat version of a ball pit: Once inside, your cat will never want to get out. This tunnel has three entrances for ultimate hide-ability, plus a teaser wand to help invoke jungle cat instincts in even the most hard-to-please kitties!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Recently, we purchased this awesome new cat tunnel to keep our pets entertained while we were on vacation. Our pet sitter sent us daily reports saying how much our cats LOVED this tri-tunnel. Now that we are home, the novelty of this toy has not worn off! This toy is made of great material with an adorable woodland animal pattern. It is soft, yet strong enough to endure intense cat play. I can’t believe that our cats have not torn or punctured the material. It also comes with a feathered wand so you can interact with your cats while they are inside the tunnel. This has become a daily routine for them! It’s so cute! If you have cats, this tunnel toy is a must!" —Steven Reilly

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 25 colors/patterns).

16. An exercise wheel, since sometimes, cats just need to get their energy out, and they'll do anything it takes to say, "Hey! play with me," which includes scratching at things they know they're not supposed to. This will help them release their desire to play while being a great workout!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This is the best product I’ve purchased for my cats. Not only do they love it, but it’s superior to the wooden wheels in so many ways. It took 10 minutes for me to put together, whereas the wooden wheel we bought eight months ago took two hours for two people to put together. This one is much quieter and sturdier than the wooden wheel as well. Just spend the extra $100 and save your time and sanity." —Emily Nicole Brunner"

"Quietest cat wheel I’ve ever had. I have three cats ranging from 11–20 pounds, and they enjoy getting their zoomies out on the wheel! They especially enjoy using it at night, and it doesn’t wake the household." —Hana Leyx

Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in 13 colors, as well as options with LED inline wheels).

17. A set of wall shelves because your cat deserves a spot other than your couch to rest their tired eyes. This is perfect for cats who like to traverse far and wide — and it's especially great if your cat prefers to chill in high places! Plus, it comes with a bunch of add-ons that your cat can play on, like chase-worthy bridges and steps.

CatsMode / Etsy

CatsMode is a Ukraine-based small biz that specializes in all types of pet furniture!

Promising review: "Love CatsMode! The bridge came in super handy because my cat loves climbing rafters and being up high. Nice looking, worked out great with our natural wood beams." —Erika McEvoy

Get it from CatsMode on Etsy for $46.70+ (originally $93.40+; available in sets of one to three hexagons, various add-ons, six designs, and five colors).

18. A scratch 'n' hunt cat puzzle for the feline who cannot stop scratching the rugs in your apartment. I, for one, have cats who refuse to scratch at anything vertical — they're all about getting down low to file their claws. This works for cats like mine and will totally entice any cat to use it with its cool ball-chasing holes!

amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My cat loves these. It’s his favorite thing to nap on. This product holds up really well and is inexpensive. You can buy all the nice and expensive cat furniture, and they’ll still choose to lie on cardboard. Idk cats are weirdos and I love that about them." —Bridget Patton

"My cats love this, and they get easily bored with new toys/products. I have found it doubles as a good treat challenge (they have to work to grab the treats inside and manipulate them out)." —Paige

Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (available in four styles). 

19. A Litter Genie, aka a waste pail that looks like a Diaper Genie, that's specifically designed for kitty droppings! It's compact, so it can fit into a closet corner, and it automatically seals in waste to keep odors at bay.

Javier / Chewy

Promising review: "My most useful purchase in the last several years. Never have I bought something that has so immediately improved my life. No more smelly kitchen trash full of used litter, no more desperate searches for a bag to put the litter in, no more embarrassingly not neat litter box because it’s just tiring to muster the executive function to deal with the litter. Cleaning is minimal effort — I just scoop it and put it in the trash right next to the litter box. No thinking required. I feel like a much better cat parent as well because my cats' needs are getting met." —Kah

Get it from Chewy for $22.99 (originally $29.99).

20. A silicone cat bowl mat, because messes are inevitable when dinnertime rolls around, especially if your sweet feline is having trouble seeing these days! This will help keep your floors food free and protected from water damage if your cat is the type to splash around in their water bowl before drinking.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased two of these to use as a mat for our cat water bowls. Previously, I used a small towel but realized the water my cats were sloshing out…was harming my wood floor. These mats were perfect. I have one on a wood floor and one on a carpeted area. For some reason, my cats like to put their paws into the bowl and swirl their water around. Now… If kitty wants to slosh, the mat catches anything that gets outside of the bowl. No more air-drying my floors after a mishap. Very happy." —AngelaG

Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in five sizes and 20 colors).

21. A calming diffuser, because kitties, like humans, can get a little emotional sometimes! This diffuser mimics a mother cat's pheromones to help create a soothing environment for your feline. This is especially great for helping new rescues feel safe in their new home — or for your long-time four-legged companion who is simply skittish sometimes!

amazon.com

Promising review: "We just brought a semi-feral cat into our home, where we have another cat and dog. We’re keeping her in a separate room right now until she gets comfortable in her new surroundings. She had been hiding under the bed for the last two days and would only come out to eat and go potty when we left the room. I received this Feliway earlier today and plugged it in in her room. This evening, she has come out from under the bed and is rubbing up against me and my husband and acting like a whole new, confident cat! I just ordered a second one to plug in by my other cat's bed to prepare for their introductions. I can’t say enough good things about how it has helped our new baby feel comfortable in her new home. There isn’t any scent we can smell, but she smells it. She was rubbing her face on it; she liked it so much! I definitely recommend!" —SuMac

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

22. A plush cat bed so comfortable, you'll wish it came in human size. Your senior feline will adore this cozy cocoon for their lil' naps.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Purchased this in the small size for my senior kitty, and she loves it. I had purchased similar cat beds in the past that were okay, but I went with this brand this time when other cats in the house commandeered them. This bed is taller than the others I purchased. Very soft, and I washed it after receiving it using a front loader washer with no problem. Used low heat in the dryer, and it came out really soft and fluffy. My cat took about 20 minutes before she settled into it, and she seemed very content. Plenty of room for her to curl up and be cozy. Would recommend to others looking to buy this." —Twinkie

"I’ve had this for three days, and my senior cat has spent at least 36 of those 72 hours in this bed. She took one sniff, and it was instant love. I set it in front of her favorite heat vent. I plan on keeping this as long as it lasts. Looks durable, though I haven’t had it very long. There are non-slip bumps on the bottom, which would be nice if I had to move it to the wood floors. The medium was the right pick for a very average-sized cat." —Valerie

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).

23. Orrrr a cat pad designed to absorb and retain their body heat, because they'll sleep anywhere that feels nice and toasty (same). This is great for older cats in your home who need a bit of help keeping their bodies nice and warm.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Got this for the stray cat who lives in our neighborhood and sleeps on our porch. I showed it to him in the yard during the day, and he instantly lay down on it and took a nap. It's held up well, and you can feel the heat it holds when the cat has been lying on it." —Desiree Winters

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

24. An Advantage small-cat flea treatment that'll provide sweet relief to your older indoor/outdoor cat. Fleas can cling onto your cat even if they don't stray too far from your home (read: They just chill on your porch). This treatment attacks fleas at all stages of life, making the annihilation of those pesky little critters hassle-free.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Finally, an OTC that works! It seemed to take a few days to kick in, but once it did, boy did it! They scratched maybe a couple of times a week or two later for the new fleas, but nothing near what they did without it, and after a week or two, after the flea life cycles were stopped, they hardly ever scratched. I bought the one for smaller weights just to be sure kitties didn't get a reaction, and they did not; no fur loss; fur from flea scratching actually healed. They did not seem to be bothered by any smell of it and could hardly tell I applied it. Took a small amount and hardly noticed any strong odor. It actually worked very well for all stages of the fleas and for about six weeks." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in multipacks and for larger cats).

25. A set of lickable cat treats for the cats in your life who have very high standards when it comes to food. My cat has always been a picky eater, but I swear, with age, she now goes on more regular hunger strikes. Whenever I open this container, though, she comes running.

amazon.com

Promising review: "One of three of my cats loves these. I cat-sit a family of four cats, and each cat loves these and fights over them. The one cat I love is a fluffy, beautiful Maine coon, and my mom one day fed her 'chewy' as we call them, in her small, tiny crystal jewelry dish. My beautiful little miss will not eat her chewy unless served in the small crystal dish. I suppose you could say this food makes cats feel like royalty! Her coat and fur are beautiful, too!" —Kathy

Get a 10-count from Amazon for $6.71+ (available in various counts and flavors).

26. A stainless-steel litter box that's easily accessible and gives your senior cat the space they need as they go number two. Since this is stainless steel, it doesn't absorb odors and is easy to clean — perfect for cats who are finicky about the tidiness of their WC.

amazon.com

I've had this exact litter box for over a year (after years of trying dozens of plastic versions), and it has yet to absorb smells from my two cats', ahem, bodily movements. I'm pretty sure this will last me their lifetime! 

Promising review: Great litter box. No one knows we have a cat when they enter the house. It, along with good litter, keeps the smell out. Easy to clean as well." —Robl

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five sizes and two designs).

27. A pack of fluffy fleece blankets, because cats love warmth! Place them in your cat's bed or wherever else they love to lounge, and watch them purr their way to dreamland in no time.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "These mini blankets are such a great bargain! My cat loves them. I pile three together and place them in different parts of the house. She loves to knead them and lie on them. I even have unwrapped extras to replace these if necessary. Great bang for your buck!" —Kathleen Shannon
