Stuff We Love
Modern Cat staffers’ picks of the litter
1 My cat already loves getting cozy in her Karma Cat cave and I can now make it stylish by adding their new mix and match flower toppers! My cat still has her comfy space and I have a cat bed that’s super fashionable!— Alice ($80 for the cave, $18 for the Toppers, karmacat.com)
2 I worry how to ensure my cat’s protection if I am injured and can’t tell anyone that my cat’s home alone waiting for me. Latchkey Petz accessories alert first responders that you are a pet owner and their online registration houses all medical records and other important info. —Clara (From $15, LatchkeyPetz.com)
3 My kitty friends Matilda and Ophelia are really into Snappy Tom Ultimates! These healthy, protein-rich meals are grain-free with zero by-products and are made to mimic the natural diet of cats in the wild. Matilda and Ophelia love the purr-fectly delicious tuna
and mackerel flavour!— Eleanor ($2 for a single can, snappytom.com)
4 My kitties love Wild Alaskan Salmon oil from Grizzly Pet Products! Extracted from delicious wild Alaskan salmon, this nutritious oil is chock-full of Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. Add it to your kitty's dinner to support her immune system and contribute to a healthy skin and coat!— Laura (From $11, grizzlypetproducts.com)
5 It doesn’t get more natural than CatSpot Litter! It’s made of 100% coconut… and that’s it! Not only is it eco-friendly, odour eliminating, and hypoallergenic, it’s super-easy to maintain—just scoop the solids and give it a bit of a stir. And when you’re ready to change the litter after about 15 days, just toss the litter into your flower bed or compost bin!— Mariah (From $15/bag, catspotlitter.com)
6 When I first brought my new kitty Potato home from the shelter, she had some anxiety and uneasiness about being re-homed. I plugged in the ThunderEase Calming Diffuser and her stress level lowered like crazy! It’s a totally drug-free way to reduce anxiety symptoms like urine spraying and scratching, mimicking natural pheromones to make your cat feel calm and comfortable.— Jen ($22, thundershirt.com/thunderease)
7 My cats love scratching! My cats love cardboard! They don’t love vacuums. Scratch Lounge is tops in my multi-cat home because my kitty crew can scratch, chill, and even scratch while chilling (thanks to the elevated sides). The non-toxic, environmentally-friendly materials are super-durable—so I’m not left vacuuming up bits and pieces! —Katherine ($20, scratchlounge.com)
8 My cat always looks so cozy in her Bowsers Buttercup bed! Shaped like the flower it is named for, this clever bed can be slept on flat (like a mat) or adjusted if your cat is a snuggler that prefers privacy. Machine washable, the Buttercup bed is available in an array of gorgeous designs. I love the marshmallow, blush, and eclipse styles!— Connie ($60, bowsers.com)
9 Between me and my sister, the water bowl in our house is empty before you know it. With the Automatic Fresh Water fountain from MyThreeCats.com, we always have filtered water to drink! Water streams from an adorable frog’s mouth and it holds 1.14 liters of H2O – definitely enough to keep us hydrated!— Domino (Starting at $29 for fountain, $9 for splash mat, mythreecats.com)
10 As a notorious clean freak, I have nightmares about the dirty litter scoop—enter the Coco Hook-On Litter Scoop from Rufus & Coco. This adorable scoop hooks securely onto the litter tray so it’s always close at hand and not lying around spreading germs. The cute cat face design doesn’t hurt either!— Jennifer ($4, rufusandcoco.com.au)
11 Sometimes my poor cats get nervous or spooked when it comes to anxiety inducers like thunder, fireworks, or new visitors to my home. Luckily you can help your cat stay calm with Bach Rescue Remedy. Just add two drops of this natural remedy used on humans and animals for more than 80 years to help your kitty relax and regain emotional balance.— Celine ($21, rescueremedy.com/pets)
