If your cat could talk, they'd ask for these — fur real.
Promising review: "This is even cuter in person, my kitties love it. It’s big enough for the larger cats and small enough for the baby one to climb all over." —Tomislav
Get it from Wayfair for $177.99.
If you're ready to stop scooping, just be sure to get a crystal litter that works with the machine!
Promising Review: "This works so well I didn't even think my cats were using the box, I thought they were just going in and out. I had to witness them using it to believe it. No smell at all!" —Gloria Silvers
Get it from Amazon for $169.95 (available in two styles colors).
Promising review: "I bought this broom based on the tons of great reviews and I am not disappointed. I love this broom! It is lightweight but sturdy. I have used it on tile floors and carpet and it does a great job of getting the pet hair, lint, and dirt. I like this so much better than our traditional push broom. It is very easy to clean after use just using my hand, unlike our old broom. It also has a telescoping handle so that you can adjust it to whatever height you need. There is also a squeegee for doing the house windows and the car windows. I highly recommend it." —Joyce V

I'm personally a big fan of seasonal pet toys because once a holiday is over I'll put them away and replace them with something new. Giving my cats a chance to rotate toys keeps them interested in them for years, rather than weeks.
Promising review: "My two year old male cat looooves this! I wasn’t sure about the longevity of it, or if would hold his interest long, but it’s been about two weeks and he still loves to zoom through it. It's very sturdy and good quality and it comes with a small black band to re-coil and store when you want it out of the way. I'm very happy." —Selma Ayn
Get it from Target for $12.99.
This has a water level indicator and an LED nightlight. It includes a filter, but you can also get refills when the water starts to seem less than fresh.
Promising review: "All five of my fur babies love this little guy. They took to it immediately with no hesitation at all, even though they had never had a fountain to drink from before. The pump is whisper quiet and provides a nice flow over the little flower. The filter needed rinsed out after a week but, like I said, I have five cats...cat hair is pretty much a seasoning in my house." —The Readhead

BTW, this small business is based in Santa Ana, California!

Get it from Golden Poseidon on Etsy for $109.99.
Promising review: "I was a little skeptical when I first saw the product because I was very unsure if it would be sturdy enough to actually hold onto the window when/if my cat lounged in it. But my cat absolutely loves this window seat. The best part is that it is completely sturdy and all worries of it not holding on the window have been replaced with compete happiness with the product. I would recommend this to anyone and their furry babies, as I have been pleasantly surprised with the product myself!" —Jess

Promising review: "My cat, despite getting bathed frequently, still manages to smell like a combination of mouth, belly button lint, and floor. I bathed her with this tonight and she smells like a spring baby. I can't stop huffing her soft head. I didn't think it was possible to love her any more, but I'm a changed man. This stuff rocks." —J. Ham
Get it from Amazon for $7.49.
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 $29.99 (available in six styles).
Promising review: "Works like a charm! I recently found myself a cat mama of an abandoned week-old kitten. I bought this knowing she needed just something to cuddle up to in her bed. Turns out it basically hypnotizes her to sleep. She crawls to it, kneads it and eventually her meows turn to silence. I wish the purring lasted longer but for $10 it is a lifesaver. She's pooped on it a couple times so I've had to throw it in the washer and dryer minus the battery pack. It's held up great." —S Leytem

Promising review: "We have an overweight cat that has trouble grooming her back. She was so full of dandruff and greasy fur that I hated petting her, which made me very sad. While looking for a shampoo for her, I came across this product and decided to try it before torturing her with a bath. After the first application there was a huge difference! After the second application, her dandruff is GONE. I'm dumbfounded. I dunno how, but it works wonders! We spray her down and then brush her. She is so soft and shiny! She finally looks healthy, and feels good to pet. I'm very thankful for this product. I don't have to be sad about my kitty anymore!" —Amber Steele

This planter is designed to be used with wheatgrass seeds and comes with a bottom grip and grid cover to prevent it turning into a knocked-over mess (something all cat parents cringe thinking about).
Promising review: "This is exactly what I needed for my grass loving cat, Bear. He can tear out and knock off pet store grass plantings in a very short time, but this planter is made to stay put. The grate helps keep the cat from getting the dirt all over as he uproots the seedlings. I love it and Bear loves it. This is definitely a five start product." —J Woods

This is the brushing set I have for my cats! To use it, I wrap them up in a blanket and will often wait until they're a little sleepy. They both really like the taste of it, so when I started out I just let them lick it off the brush. Now I lift their lips and scrub while snuggling them, and they handle it like champs! If you're starting to brush your cat's teeth, just take it slow and in steps. It makes a big difference when it becomes a part of your routine!
Promising review: "I got this set when I realized that the breed of cats I have is prone to gingivitis. Rather than wait for a problem to arise I decided to be proactive. The cats don't love the process but their teeth and gums are looking healthier and their breath smells a bit better so a win in my book." —June Moon
Get it from Amazon for $4.44.
Promising review: "I would absolutely recommend this product . It's good quality and my cat loves using it. The height of the feeding bowls is exactly right. The wooden stand makes the bowl easier to clean! I like the color and I like the design, it's very clean and simple but looks very comfortable. It’s also pretty sturdy. I've never had any problems with it collapsing. I love this adorable product." —Yubi

I started a hunting system for my cats when I felt like they were getting lethargic during the winter. One of our cats was overweight because he would sit and eat the dry food left out when he was bored. With these he'll "hunt", eat one, and not eat again until he's ready to go hunting. I've written a full review on this clever feeding system before because I refuse to stop recommending it (#1)!

Promising review: "Oscar gets really bad infections around his right eye; it causes his whole area to get red and crusted up. We tried this and it worked great! Even after the first use we could see a big difference. I don't use it as directed, maybe once a day but it still works great. Will absolutely buy again. P.S. forgive the before pic (left); he was helping me size baby hats I was making. No cats were tortured; he just acts like he was." —April Mcleod

Promising review: "I got this because I was feeling like my cat was acting bored and depressed. She enjoyed looking around while I was walking her and it was something new from her norm. I felt crazy as heck walking her but she enjoyed it. It is a nice stroller for its price. I would recommend it." —Andypie

Promising reviews: "I used this harness to train an eight week old kitten. I was training the kitten for nursing home visits so he could provided therapy to the people who lived there. The harness fit very well and was easily adjustable. The kitten did not even pay attention to it after it was put on." —Zachariah Atteberry
Promising review: "This harness is very secure, yet still allows my cat to have a full range of motion. She hated the process of putting it on and adjusting it at first, but now she comes running whenever I pick it up." —Krystal

This has a locking handle and a silicone gasket. It includes a non-toxic charcoal cat litter deodorizer with about a six-month lifespan and comes with 10 biodegradable litter bags that'll hold up to two weeks of waste each. But these are designed to work with any fresheners/bags, so use whatever you like best!
Promising review: "With the handle up, odors are sealed in. The inner basket is easy to remove and carry to the trash. I love that I can use any bags I want to in it, there are no expensive cartridges to buy and I don't need to jury rig other bags. It even has a carry handle – none of the competition has a carry handle. This thing is perfect for my multi-cat household." —MonaLS

Promising review: "Our cat didn't know if he could trust this 1980's microwave and/or TV ottoman when it first arrived in the living room. But after finding it non radioactive it has become his go to sneak spot. Especially if he's managed to klepto a hair tie." —Joe Murphy

Promising review: "My wife always used to ask me to take pictures/videos of our cat when she wasn't at home, so this was a perfect fit for us. I love that we both have the app and can each look at and play with our cat when at work or traveling. I also love the 'motion detection' which basically records a video when there's any movement at home and sends you a notification, so I get tons of fun videos that I share with my family (and I also feel a bit safer). Video quality is good. The laser takes a bit of getting used to but the cat loves it. The design is great, it fits well with our interior and is pleasant to touch and unpack. I haven't tried any similar products to compare but don't think I need to anymore – we're loving this and sticking with it." —Markiyan

Each bag has enough litter to cover you for an entire month and shipping is free! I've loved using this litter because it doesn't track and has basically eliminated the smell of the litter box in my apartment *and* one of my BuzzFeed coworkers wrote about how this litter knew her cat was sick before the vet did.
