We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A smart pet sofa that comes in nine colors so you can buy one that's a mini version of yours! Then, you can both lounge and take up as much space as you like while you binge your latest Netflix or Hulu obsession. (My cats are weirdly obsessed with Survivor and respond to Jeff Probst's voice lol.)
Promising review: "So we bought one for the living room and we loved it so much, we purchased a second one for our home office, since they love spending time with their dad when he’s working from home!! If you are thinking about getting a cute sofa…just order this one!!" —Jesie Fernandez
Get it from Amazon for $121.41 (available in nine colors).
2. And — to go with the above — a Chom Chom roller sure to put your regular ol' lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out.
My cats shed like it's their full-time job and let me tell you — this thing is amazing. I used to vacuum my bed/rug/their favorite chair several times a week and follow that up with a traditional lint roller that I'd have to use 10–15 sheets of in one go. With this nifty tool, I give whatever I'm cleaning a few good rolls and then empty out enough fur to felt them few cat toys (I don't *actually* do that, but I could if I wanted to).
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
3. A cactus scratching post for all the indoor kitties who miss the great outdoors, but not having to catch their own food, find their own shelter, or go without 24/7 snuggles.
Promising review: "My cat LOVES this thing. She is constantly running up and down it and standing on top of it. Excellent quality and the rope is holding up well after a few months of heavy scratching. My cat would previously scratch on my couch, so I knew I had to get her another scratcher to put closer to it. But none I could find were more appealing than our couch until I bought this cactus. Haven't seen her scratch on the couch in months." —Tatiana
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two sizes).
4. A tunnel bed should your bbs' love for toys only be surpassed by one other thing: sleep.
Promising review: "Just got this today and my cat LOVES it! I couldn’t even get it put together before she was running inside of it. I really love the fact that this tunnel isn’t noisy. It's so quiet! It’s made out of fabric and not the loud crinkly plastic stuff most tunnels seem to be made out of. I will never buy another cat tunnel that isn’t covered with fabric. The only downside for me was putting it together. It was hard to get the zippers connected properly with a cat paw swatting me lol. I would recommend putting this together before your cat sees it." —MikaraB
Get it from Amazon for $31.76+ (available in four colors/patterns).
5. A stainless-steel automatic water fountain for those with picky pets who refuse to drink from a regular bowl. My cats drank solely from *my* water glasses until I picked this up and now I only have to wash/refill it once a week!
Promising review: "My cat loves this! It was easy to set up and it’s very durable. If my cat tries to move it or anything it stays in place well. It’s quite sturdy, but not too heavy either. It does a great job draining the water and replenishing it so that it’s clean and free from any debris and pet hair. It’s not loud either, so it’s perfect." —joanna
Get it from Amazon for $28.49.
6. A kitty hammock that won't interrupt the flow of your carefully curated balcony or patio, but will give your feline a comfy space to stretch out.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with how cute this looks. Our cats are always tanning on the balcony and now they have a place to lie. They took to it right away. It was really easy to put together and the quality of the wood and materials seems great." —jalysza
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in two colors).
7. A plush anti-anxiety donut bed with a raised rim that keeps your kittens feeling nice and secure. The fluffy material also mimics cat fur, so it feels like they're cuddling their mom.
Both of my cats took to this as soon as I got it. They store their toys in there, nap in there, and make a wholeeee lot of biscuits. They have a few beds that they use but this one seems to be their favorite and I think the high walls are definitely why. Sometimes they use the sides as a pillow and other times they bury their heads into the interior and curl up in a little ball. My only complaint is that they don't sell one in my size. 😞
Promising review: "I rescue geriatric cats and do medical fostering so I have great appreciation for reasonably priced equipment. These are fabulous! They are quite comfortable for cats with arthritis and joint problems or just feel miserable due to whatever health issues they have. These are calming and incredibly easy to wash and dry. They hold up very well and best of all they are affordable." —M. M. Robinson
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight sizes and 18 colors).
8. A "ripple rug" your kitty can burrow into, scratch as much as they like, and just generally just roll around on. The mat's non-slip rubber bottom keeps it in place and also allows you to prop it up in various configurations if your babies are a fan of tunneling.
Promising review: "My cat started playing with the mat before I even got it entirely unboxed! She loves tunneling over and under the top mat and hiding her favorite toys. I readjust the top rug every couple of days so it is like a brand new adventure. Easy to clean and move out of the way if needed. Total hit in our household." —Connie
Get it from Chewy for $46.
9. A banana-shaped bed for the pet who loves "hiding" under blankets and in cardboard boxes. The top flap — or, if we're talking anatomically, the peel — offers them a private and enclosed space to nap.
Promising review: "My friend really loves his new bed...super cute!! Buy one now!!!!" —Stacy Lynn
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three sizes).
10. A self-cleaning Litter-Robot because as much as I love my cats, there are few household chores I loathe more than scooping their poop. Even worse, the little devils seem to enjoy watching me do it.
The Wi-Fi–enabled box self cleans, reduces litter usage, manages odors with a carbon-filtered waste drawer, and settings can be controlled via an app on your smartphone. Plus, it's suitable for up to four cats! You can lock the buttons on the actual box so your cat doesn't mess with them; you can set a 3-, 7-, or 15-minute delay before the unit cycles (after your cat has used the box); and it'll notify you when the waste drawer needs to be manually emptied. You can even monitor your cat's weight!
Promising review: "Simply the best decision I’ve made regarding the cats in forever. I cannot imagine not having this now. Just send Whisker your money and buy it now. You won’t regret it." —Everett
Get it from Litter-Robot by Whisker for $699 (available in two main colors and eight bezel colors).
11. Or a hidden cat box enclosure so you can kick your unsightly open-top box to the curb. Angled just so, and it'll pass for a faux plant and nothing more!
Promising review: "This is absolutely fantastic! Hands-down, the most innovative thing I’ve ever seen in pet supplies. I was inspired by another reviewer and did a little DIY and now it’s white. Nobody would ever know it’s a litter box. Fits perfectly in my small space and goes great with the decor. Tbh, if you’re hesitant, don’t be. Just hit the 'Buy Now' button, you won’t regret it." —Shannon
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in four colors).
12. A laptop-shaped scratcher if the last few years of WFH life have led your cats to believe that they *too* have a 9 to 5. It's this or have them all piled on top of you and that makes it quite hard to type...
Promising review: "I saw this when browsing Uncommon Goods and purchased it as what I thought would be a gag gift for my sister. Funny thing is...it actually works! Comments from my sister: 'My cat made my laptop keyboard unusable by treating it as a scratching post and popping the keys out. I finally gave up and purchased a cheap wireless keyboard to use with it. My sister gave me this cardboard laptop as a gift, which my cat now loves! I wish I had known about this earlier as my laptop would still be intact.'" —RedBirdWoman
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $35.
13. A design-forward raised bowl from Cat Person — a brand whose name I deeply identify with. The stylish tray keeps spills at bay while the shallow bowl prevents whisker fatigue so your feline friend can fill up on wet or dry food.
Cat Person is a small, feline-focused brand from Lambert Wang and Jimmy Wu — two cat lovers who were concerned about what was in their pet's food and why cat products were always hidden away in the back of pet stores. Aside from their ergonomic bowls, they also sell toys, accessories, and, primarily, protein-packed wet and dry food with just a handful of straightforward, healthy ingredients.
Get it from Cat Person for $45 (available in three colors).
14. Or a more affordable set of elevated ceramic bowls that are not only super sleek, but also ergonomically designed to help your bebes avoid whisker fatigue and prevent throwing up.
Promising review: "I must admit I was skeptical that the angle and height of a bowl could make a difference in preventing my cat from vomiting, but I am now a believer. My cat routinely threw up two to three times a week — she is on a limited-ingredient soft food diet which was recommended by my vet. These did stop the daily vomiting, but I still was cleaning up after her each week. Since she has been using this product, she has not vomited in over three weeks. I truly think she feels better and I know I am much happier!" —Karen U.
Get the two-bowl stand from Amazon for $17.79+ (available in two finishes).
15. A macramé cat hammock so visually arresting, it may just convince your fur baby to give up the Amazon box they've been calling home for the last month. Since it's made out of a bunch of strings, I don't see how they wouldn't at least be intrigued.
Macrame Beautiful is a small business based in Beijing that sells stunning macramé pieces like planters, wall decor, and baskets.
Promising review: "This is my second purchase and I will continue to buy!! The craftsmanship is so beautiful. It is evident she enjoys what she does. Every item is packed with care and in adorable resealable pouches. Sweet stickers with handwritten notes and beautifully printed 'how to care for and clean the items.' My kittens love their hammock!" —Annie Zummo
Get it from Macrame Beautiful on Etsy for $55.19+ (originally $68.19+; available in two styles and with one, two, or no cushions).
16. An organic cat grass growing kit that will add some additional greenery to your house and keep your kitties from eating your actual houseplants.
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
Get it from Amazon for $28.90 (available in four colors).
17. A refillable catnip mat for lazy lil' kitties who rather roll around on the floor than get in some cardio chasing after a robotic toy.
The 9 x 9-inch mats come from 3 Kitties and 2 Humans, Willowick, Ohio-based shop with all sorts of cat goodies.
Promising review: "I bought two of these and my cats immediately went wild over them! Material seems durable and should be able to withstand their nails and teeth. The Velcro is super strong, so you don't have to worry about the catnip coming out. Packaging was adorable and my son loved the freebie sticker, which he put on his phone. Highly recommend these catnip mats!" —Kristen
Get it from 3 Kitties and 2 Humans on Etsy for $8 (available in 15 colors/prints).
18. A fruit tart bed any cat should be berry into. Not only does it provide a cozy place for them to cuddle up, but is also comes with a handful of lemon-, kiwi-, strawberry-, and blueberry-shaped cushions they can attack as soon as they wake up from a nap.
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."
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in two sizes).
19. A 72-inch cat condo (with 10 sisal scratching poles) so your kitties can spy on the neighbor's children, or — in my case — the Ecuadorian food truck that's always bumping just a stone's throw from my apartment.
Promising review: "I have two cats — one who's 18 pounds and one who's 10 pounds. They both love this cat tree. Received it in three days. I thought I would have to anchor it but so far no problems. They love being able to sit on top and watch everything going on outside. I have it in a corner and it is very stable and I don't think I will have to anchor it to a wall. They sleep on it and chase each other up and down on it all day. Would highly recommend this tree. I am 65 and put it together myself." —Kimmie
Get it from Chewy for $99.99+ (available in six colors).
20. A hanging multilevel cat condo you can mount on the back of a door if you don't have enough floorspace for a freestanding option. It's *way* less bulky than a normal ol' cat tree and you can easily move it from room to room.
Promising reviews: "I purchased this because we live in a small home and our cat tree was taking up too much space in the living room. I am super happy with my purchase. I have three cats and they all go in it! In the photo [on the right] on the top is our 16-pound cat and it is holding him good! I was a bit worried when I saw how high it was off the ground but they jump into it easily! I love how much space it has saved me and how easy it was to assemble, it took me like three minutes. Really great material too. I think it is thicker than the canopy for my gazebo haha." —Ariel
Get it from Amazon for $58.99+ (available in three sizes).
21. A UFO-shaped cat box that not only looks stellar, but prevents your kitty baby from kicking litter all over the dang place. TBH this is more a gift for you but, I mean, c'mon!
Happy and Polly is a small business with all sorts of cutesy cat and dog products from carriers and scratching posts to water fountains and even apparel.
Promising review: "I love it. It's exactly what I wanted. The cats get in and out easily. Easy to clean with the big sliding window." —S.C.
Get it from Happy and Polly for $179.99.
22. A window hammock with suction cups strong enough to hold 50 pounds. If you're thinking that seems like a lot, just consider how quickly the weight of several cats, a blanket, their favorite toys, and a pillow adds up.
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 the 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 — even when they both pile on there.
Promising review: "I have a new sunroom that overlooks a golf course. Believe it or not, my cat loves to watch the golfers. I decided that she would have a better view if she was up higher. I bought one of these cat hammocks and she loves it. I was skeptical that it would stick to the glass and not fall down, but it has been up a month and it hasn't moved at all. It is really sturdy and my cat feels free to jump up and down without fear." —Kathryn
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
23. A nontoxic, natural soy Pet House candle if you've deep cleaned the litter box and vacuumed all of your rugs but you still can't get rid of the funk floating around your living room. These babies burn for 60 to 70 hours and feature a proven odor neutralizer that doesn't just mask nasty scents, but gets rid of them. 👋
Promising review: "My cat is super sensitive and is allergic to certain scents but this candle has really been a hit! We both love the scent and the relaxing smell helps to keep my cat calm. AMAZING!" —Natalia Ramirez
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has nothing but good things to say about these fantastic candles:
"It's been a few years since I first experienced the powerful-but-lovely waft of a Pet House candle and back then I had a dog roommate (who's quite slobbery). But even a few years later living solo, sans pets, I burn them quite often. They're amazing at quickly canceling out my downstairs neighbor's nightly weed smells (to each their own, buddy) and basically any cooking smell on earth, including onions, Brussels sprouts, garlic, and more. My kitchen is *right* by my closet so canceling out weird food smells is vital. These will forever be my GOAT candle and there are so many scents to keep some variety going." Check out Elizabeth's full review of Pet House candles here.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 57 scents).
24. A zebra-print activity mat that looks exactly like a baby play mat and that just tickles me pink. If your kitties could use some tummy time, the attached hanging toys will keep them entertained.
Promising review: "My cat simply loves this! He dives right into it, sometimes even doing somersaults into it, and it has really held up nicely! He's 15 pounds, so he's not small, and it bounces right back into place after he pounces on it. It moves with him, and has provided hours of entertainment for him and for me! Highly recommend for active cats." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.30+ (available in two styles).
25. A transparent bird feeder that'll bring birds right to your window so your babies can get a good look. Chances are they'll make those chirping and chattering noises you loves so much, too, so it's just as entertaining for you.
The feed tray slides out, making it easy to refill and clean, and there's a divider so you can use two different types of feed at once to attract different varieties of birds! Some reviewers even decorated their birdhouses with little frills like moss, flowers, and twine, so you can give it as much flair as you like!
Note: If you find that your pets are scaring the birds away, one reviewer recommends applying reflective adhesive so the birds can't see in but your fur babes can see the full show.
Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels who sneak into it. 😅 It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window. Now the birds have no idea they’re even there and the cats are in disbelief they get to sit that close to the birds. Overall a great purchase, my family loves it!" —SRowe
Get it from Amazon for $32.90.
26. A wall-mounted cat playground if your speed demons could use a new frontier to explore. Plus, the shelves save you some serious floor space, so it's a win-win.
Moho Wood is a Ukrainian small biz — from Roman Babych — that sells over 100+ different types of wall-mounted cat furniture so take a look at others if this isn't the perfect set for you.
Promising review: "Our cat loves his new jungle gym! Especially his new hammock. It was easy to assemble and install, and we love the quality. Customer service/shipping was great. Highly recommend purchasing from this shop!" —Morgan Mills
Get it from Moho Wood on Etsy for $187.50 (originally $375; available in four wood finishes and two fabric colors).
27. An outdoor play tent so your babies can get some fresh air instead of just staring longingly out the window. Not only is it the safest way to let them investigate their surroundings, but it's pretty damn cute, too.
You can also fill it with their blankets, beds, and toys to really make it fun and cozy while they take in the fresh air. It comes with an attachable tunnel, as pictured on the right above.
Get a closer look at it on TikTok!
Promising review: "For you urbanites, this cat tent will bring years of great mirth and joy to your beloved feline friend! This cat tent allows me to safely stimulate the psyche and spirit of my little family member. Birds have even landed on the tent and rabbits have grazed around it, and they are safe from her as well. A vet even walked past and commented, 'I wish everyone did this for their cat!'" —Yvonne DeMarino
Get it from Amazon for $84.75 (also available in a "tower" style, and the tent and tunnel are available individually).
28. A multilevel tower you'll all enjoy as there's plenty of room to play, but it could also easily pass an industrial bookshelf instead of a cat condo.
I bought this to replace an old cat condo that had made one too many moves and was all wobbly. I was worried my cats wouldn't be into it at first since it was SO different from their old one, but after a few days they warmed up to it! TBH, I selfishly got it because it's so much more aesthetically pleasing than your typical cat furniture and it takes up wayyyyy less space in my living room but luckily they love it — especially the little box which gives them a secure place to nap. Assembly was pretty easy, too! Just know that it isn't free standing — it screws into your wall with (included) anchors so that's something to keep in mind if you're worried about putting holes in your wall.
Promising review: "My cats really love this! It fits snuggly in the hallway with ample room to walk by and gives them the view they want — right down every hallway! My cats are smaller — about 9 to 10 pounds. They have been using it since... well since I was in the middle of building it! Highly recommend!!!" —Christine
Get it from Wayfair for $75.99 (originally $85.99).
29. A litter-trapping honeycomb mat because there is nothing more disturbing than stepping out of the shower, walking to your room, and immediately feeling cat litter on the bottom of your foot. And if you have 2+ cats??? Well multiply the horror factor.
My cats used to track litter alllllll over the house and no matter how often I swept, it was always there. In the living room, in my bedroom, even up on the couch. 🤮 That stopped as soon as I got this mat. Now, my cats step out of the litter box, wipe their paws on this, and voila! Clean toe beans! Plus, once it fills up, it's super easy to empty as it's designed like an envelope with one open end.
Promising review: "We no longer have litter scattered throughout the house. I just have to remember to empty it. Nice looking and effectively hides the litter it collects. Just place it the to the side your kitty hops out of the box on, as they never leap out of the side intended for exiting! :)" —CharleezMom
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes M–XXL and in 10 colors).
30. A spherical hideout with a faux-fur blanket just your cat's size. If your bb is anything like mine, they'll hang out in there until you walk by at perfect swatting distance.
Tuft + Paw is a direct-to-consumer cat brand from Jackson Cunningham. Their products are informed by both feline behavior and aesthetic design. They offer a 50% discount when you choose to donate any of their products to a shelter.
Promising review: "LOVE this item!! And so does my cat :) Unique design that fits well with my decor. Such a cozy spot for Medyn to nap in! The faux-fur blanket is so soft and I like the weight it comes with so the sphere holds its position when you place it on the gold rack. I was definitely impressed with this item and happy I made the purchase." —Lisa S.
Get it from Tuft + Paw for $299.
31. An airtight rolling container that makes storing dry food and cat litter SO much easier. Instead of keeping 20- and 30-pound bags on hand, just transfer everything to these and it'll keep them fresh.
Promising review: "I got this so I didn't have to drag a 30-pound bag out of this tiny-sized cupboard every time that I needed to refill my cats' food containers. It is great. I found a perfect spot for it. It maneuvers great, keeps the food fresh, and keeps nosy cats out of it, too! I love my container. It will save my back so much work." —Wendy Schlickeiser
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six sizes and two colors).
32. A woven cat pod with an enclosed design that'll make your bebes feel nice and secure. And I guarantee it'll fit right in with your wall baskets, macramé plant hangers, and neutral shag rug.
Design Dua is an HGTV Award–winning, family-owned small business handcrafting baskets, basinets, bags, and so much more!
Promising review: "We ordered two of these pagodas so that our female kitties could have a private, safe place to hide away from people and the much larger male kitties. Everything went according to plan. Since these beds are handmade, the sizes vary slightly even when ordered in the same size. The smaller kitty picked the smallest and the larger female kitty picked the larger of the two. I think they just feel safe and secure. The ventilation is good, but would provide some protection and warmth keeping in the winters. The pad is fully washable and dryable. Now when the cats do not show up when called, we KNOW where they are! Forty paws up!" —Marilyn F Johnston
Get it from Design Dua on Etsy for $104.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
33. A hidden litter box enclosure that looks more like a mid-century modern nightstand you'd find at Anthropologie than a piece of furniture literally made to hold poop.
&media=https%3A%2F%2Fimg-mkr.buzzfeed.com%2Fbuzzfeed-static%2Fstatic%2F2024-01%2F17%2F15%2Ftmp%2F4fb2df31bb4e%2Ftmp-name-5-703-1705506239-0_dblbig.jpg%3Ftemplate%3Dpinterest-vertical-dots-v1%26title%3DMzQgUHJvZHVjdHMgSWYgSXTigJlzIFlvdXIgQ2F04oCZcyBBcGFydG1lbnQgQW5kIFlvdeKAmXJlIEp1c3QgTGl2aW5nIEluIEl0IChBbmQgUGF5aW5nIEZvciBJdCk%3D%26color1%3Dorange){kind=link}
34. And a game-changing microchip pet feeder designed to recognize your cat's microchip and open only for them! When they step away it'll close, too, keeping out any other kitties who may be prone to overeating. It's also great if your babies are on different diets.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes has to say:
"I've had my microchip pet feeders from Sure Petcare for a couple of months now, and while it was a pricey investment, it's been worth every single penny and has alleviated a ton of stress around my cat's meals. One of my cats, Sneaky, always wants to eat his brother's food and has a tendency to be overweight. Separating them for meals just wasn't working — they would whine at the door and simply not eat enough unless they could eat side by side and have free access to food throughout the day — but I also couldn't be sure that my younger (and much smaller) cat, Chicho, was eating enough with Sneaky gobbling up part of his meals, too. When my vet started throwing around the word "diabetes" as a very real concern if Sneaky didn't start sticking to a controlled diet every day, I knew I needed to finally cough up the money for microchip feeders — I mean, it'd be a drop in the bucket compared to the longterm cost of cat insulin.
Surprisingly, there aren't many great microchip feeder options out there, but after extensive research, I found that these particular feeders are widely considered to be the best option currently available — and they go in and out of stock pretty often as a result. Setup is ridiculously fast, the open-close function works beautifully, and my cats learned how to use them almost immediately. Finally, Sneaky can *only* eat what's in his feeder, which allows me to control his calorie intake and see exactly how much food he's eating daily — and I can be sure that Chicho is getting *enough* food, too. This is also a fantastic solution if you have cats on different diets due to health reasons, and if one of them starts eating way less for some reason, you'll know immediately and be able to report that to your vet. I also love that the feeder comes with both split and regular bowls — I use the split bowls to serve my cats both dry food and wet food at once!
BTW, I have the basic microchip feeder (because it was the only option in stock), but there's also a Wi-Fi-enabled option that connects to the Sure Petcare app for monitoring eating habits, weighing food portions, and more."
Get it from Sure Petcare for $199 (feeder bowls available in four colors).
