    Just 20 Target Products That Your Elderly Cat Will Thank You For Buying

    Because anything you can do to make their life (and yours) easier is worth it.

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

    2. A Bissell Little Green Pet Pro, because accidents happen — but that doesn't mean you need to keep your feline pal away from their favorite carpeted room. This machine will help you reach professional levels of clean when tackling odors and stains!

    3. Or you can get an odor-eliminating spray if your cat has had one too many accidents and now the carpet just...smells of them. This works perfectly for carpets, fabric furniture, and hardwood floors — but I personally love using this for the litter area in my home!

    4. A self-cleaning litter box, since cats are picky about where they'll go number two. This will make sure that your cat has a fresh WC every single time.

    5. A pet cave — cats love to lounge in enclosed spaces and 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.

    6. A tunnel cat scratcher, because a tall, maze-like cat tree may be too high a mountain for your elderly cat to traverse! If they love something that they can scratch at and hide in, this scratcher is a no-brainer.

    7. A treat-filled cat puzzle aka a necessity if your elderly cat eats so quickly, they make themself sick! This will help to slow down their meal time by making them search for their food, and will stimulate cognitive health!

    8. A bag of PrettyLitter that's a necessity when monitoring your elderly cat's health. Cats don't really show that they're going through the pain of health woes until the going gets bad, and this litter changes colors to act as the liaison between you and your cat's health.

    9. An automatic water fountain purrrfect if your cat is not only elderly but a diva about their drinking water, too. Some cats only prefer to drink water from a running stream, and this fountain works around the clock to make sure your cat's water is fresh and crisp for whenever they need a drink.

    Promising review: "I found this without planning on buying one from Target. I have a former outdoor-only cat that splashes his water dish. I set it up and he and my other cats drank out of it almost instantly. They seem to like it much better than a different one I tried in the past. The price is also great!" —Courtneymay

    Price: $25.99

    10. A three-level interactive ball track, because playtime isn't just for kittens! This toy stays in its place as balls track through the tiers, making it perfect for elderly cats who don't have the energy to chase toys around the house.

    11. waterless apple and honey shampoo for the cool cats who really don't like taking baths. This spray is great for wiping dusty paws and clearing off any debris from the outside world while still maintaining the health of your cat's fur.

    Promising review: "My long-haired cat likes being brushed, but his fur ends up looking greasy most of the time...when I saw this dry shampoo I thought I'd give it a try. It smells nice, very mild, slightly sweet, and fruity. My cat seems to either like the smell or like the feeling of being brushed after this is sprayed on his fur because he is even more eager to be brushed than usual. I get more fur in the brush than from dry brushing alone, so my vacuum appreciates it. The best part is he looks show-quality amazing after I'm done and he often feels so satisfied that he curls up and falls asleep purring. A+ Burt's Bees, I'll be buying more when I run out." —altspacecadet

    12. A self-cleaning brush with retractable teeth to make cleanup after a good brushing experience so easy, you'll wish you had purchased it sooner. This is practically a necessity if your cat needs extra help to groom themselves these days.

    13. A pet feeding mat, because messes are inevitable when dinnertime rolls around, especially if your sweet feline is having trouble seeing these days! 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.

    14. An airtight pet food storage container perfect if you have a multi-cat home and need to keep your elderly cat's medical-grade food away from your new kitty's kibble.

    15. A pair of nail trimmers sure to be a saving grace if your elderly cat's claws are a little too long. Less claw means less excess dirt and litter stuck underneath!

    16. An ultrasonic tick and flea repellent you can attach to your cat's collar because your old pal shouldn't have to forego the outdoors in fear of being bitten! This collar emits s series of ultrasonic sounds that are safe for you and your kitty (and other animals, too!) but disorients ticks and fleas!

    17. A litter mat, because all cats need help to stop tracking litter all over the home. This mat traps litter that comes off your elderly cat's paw after they use the WC.

    18. A Greenies dental treat, since a lack of opposable thumbs makes it hard for your cat to brush their teeth. These treats can help promote gum and tooth health, which is imperative for any aging cat! Plus, they'll give your cat fresh breath, which is always welcome.

    19. And a Greenies Pill Pocket treat that's just like sneaking veggies into a picky eater's meal. Simply place your elderly 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.

    20. And a bag of adult dry food so your not-so-fit-anymore kitty can get all the nutrients they need to live a long (and healthy!) life. This dry food contains real chicken, whole grains, vegetables, and Blue Buffalo's LifeSource Bits, which are chock full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support immune health.
