    17 Products Your Cat Needs, Other Than A Cardboard Box

    Because you love your cat and your cat loves you.

    We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to recommend some of the best things they've ever bought their cat. Here are the results:

    1. If you love watching your cat chase things around the room like a weirdo, there's this interactive laser cat toy that points in random patterns and keeps your cat on their toes.

    2. This infinity scratcher is a combo cat scratcher and nap spot — and it has the added bonus of looking frickin' cool, too.

    3. If you don't want to shell out a lot of cash for your cat's toy, the Cat Dancer is great for hours of old-fashioned fun on the cheap.

    4. This "Did You Feed The Cat?" sign, so your cat can't trick you and your roommates into thinking nobody's fed them all day. We're onto your tricks, kitty!

    5. You can also try out these simple and addictive Looney Loops, which don't cost much but will totally enthrall your feline friend.

    6. If your cat has a smelly situation, the Litter Genie traps their litter in an odour-proof container, so you don't have to worry about it. It's great for small living spaces!

    7. Keep your cats hydrated in style with this flower fountain. Most cats prefer to drink from moving water (as opposed to water sitting in a bowl), so they'll be encouraged to drink more and avoid dehydration.

    8. To keep your furniture out of the war zone, there's the Ultimate Scratching Post. It'll help them stretch out, and it's made from strong material that they can scratch over and over again.

    9. If you need an adaptable carrier, this rolling backpack pet carrier contains multitudes — you can roll it while holding onto a handle, or wear the straps over your shoulders. And it has enough space inside for your kitty to be comfortable!

    10. If you're into versatility, the Purrfect Arch is a nap spot, a self-groomer, and a massager. Soon your cat won't want to leave it alone!

    11. This domed litter box that features an interior walkway to clean litter off their paws (so they don't track it all over the house). The covered top prevents them from accidentally doing their business outside the box, too.

    12. The Thundershirt is meant to reduce a cat's anxiety, and will help give you a break if your cat gets upset when you're not holding them.

    13. If you love playing with your cat, but also sometimes need them to entertain themselves, there's this robotic cat toy, which they won't be able to get enough of.

    14. The PetSafe Ssscat is a cat control spray system to gently remind your kitties that certain areas may be off limits — like the kitchen counter, the dinner table, or anywhere you need them to stay away from.

    15. This window-mounted cat bed will allow your kitty to truly bask in the sun's rays the way they've always wanted.

    16. This adorable beaver catnip toy, which your cat will be obsessed with — but it'll stand up to all their pawing and clawing.

    17. And, of course, every cat deserves a good multi-level cat tree, because sometimes cats just want to be tall, okay???

    Your cat, knowing that you are their slave:
