Price: $5.99
2. A silicone cat bowl mat, because messes are inevitable when dinnertime rolls around. This will keep your floors food-free, and will also protect them from water damage if your cat is the type to splash their water bowl before drinking.
Promising review: "My kitten is a VERY messy eater and always digs and scratches everywhere around her bowl, so, food scatters all over the floor. This mat is great! The bowl isn’t able to slide or knock over and it is water-resistant, so it’s 100% easy to clean. It doesn’t roll up around the corners like some mats I've had, meaning food won’t get stuck underneath it." –Em

Promising review: "I poured about a quart of water with Miracle-Gro in it over the seeds, and it drained immediately into the drip tray which filled up. I figured it would just suck up the water out of the tray as needed. Then I left it alone for five days while on a business trip. When I came home, the grass was 8 to 10 inches high and very thick and fluffy. My cats loved it!" –Laura Byrd
Price: $9.99

Promising review: "Bought this because my two small dogs would dig into my cat's litter box. My cat is 6 years old, ~12 lbs and doesn't like small enclosed spaces. He didn't want to use it for a week till I decided to remove the lid. I gave him time to use it without the lid (with an laundry basket next to it so he can jump in easily) and then replaced the lid a week later. He now uses it regularly and I've noticed a lower amount of litter outside the box." –T. Francisco

A great spray for your pet's skin, seriously!" –K Sauce

Promising review: "I'm a first-time cat owner to a ragdoll kitten who just turned 4-months old. We gave Sora his first nail clipping experience today and it went more smoothly than I thought it would have and these clippers definitely helped. I like the size of these clippers, they are not too small but small enough. I would think the size of this clipper would be great even for a fully grown cat. Also, I love the sharpness. It made the entire process way easier and so much quicker." –raerae

Well worth the cost given the improvement in my cat's health." –Mandy

I was worried when purchasing if the suction cups would hold, and if the material of the hammock would be easily cleaned of hair, etc. After receiving and placing the item, I saw how sturdy the general frame, hammock, and suction cups were. This was clearly designed my someone who has cats as well." –The Cat Mom
