    27 Products From Amazon Cat Owners Will Feel Smart For Owning

    It's not hyperbolic to call these products "genius."

    1. A slow-feeder bowl that...I want for myself?! OK, so this obviously comes in cool patterns that'll up the vibes in your home. But! slow-feeder bowls are great for cats who end up with an upset tummy after overeating. The different slits in the bowl's design will stop them from gulping down all their food at once, meaning they'll have more time to process when they're *actually* full!

    2. A grass scratcher toy to keep your cat busy as they scratch, chase, and lounge. I have this scratcher, and I love watching my cats chase roller toys between the slits in the surface. I also love that my cats have something other than my brand-new rug to scratch at!

    3. A plush purring pillow for cats who need to feel like they're always cuddling something. This is great for new kittens who need to feel soothing purrs — but reviewers say that their adult cats love this, too!

    4. A wall-mounted cat step so that you can save your cat from the dangers of climbing up shelves just to get to an elevated space. You can install this as a ladder if there is a spot high up in your home where they *love* to lounge.

    5. And a fluffy wall perch that'll go with the steps! This is perfect for those felines who prefer the top shelf in your closet to their beds that are on the floor.

    6. A pet hair remover to get rid of the hair that's all over their favorite lounging spot on your couch! This is basically like a huge lint roller, making it perfect for larger surfaces!
