"... cats are great in their own kind of way. They’re independent and don’t need your undivided attention at all times, but will still snuggle you when you sleep and sit contently on your lap while you watch TV. So, it’s only fair that you return the favor during the giving season. Your furry feline—or not, if it’s hairless—will thank you for these new additions to your home with purrs and (if your cat is as weird as one of mine) lots of kisses." - Popular Science

"Four years ago, Jackson Cunningham and girlfriend Vanessa Koo found themselves thoroughly disappointed while shopping at a PetSmart. The new parents of a rescue cat were overcome by what they deemed as unappealing, tacky, and cheaply made pet products, such as carpet-covered cat towers and dull grey litter boxes. Nothing seemed good enough for their fuzzy new family member, a Norwegian snow cat named Peppers." "Cunningham saw a huge disconnect compared to all the other well-designed, high-quality home items he usually purchased. “There was just such an obvious need for something new,” he says." - Fast Company

So naturally, when I saw a product that promises to make scooping litter a thing of the past, I was like, “Where do I sign up?” - Reviewed

That’s right, it’s an actual bridge designed specifically for felines." - METRO

"Cat owners, let’s talk litter boxes. I have two cats, and while I love them both to pieces, scooping their litter was always the absolute bane of my existence. Honestly, it’s just the worst. Scooping up the waste hurt my back, made my eyes teary and had me holding my breath just to get through it. The worst part? I live in a small apartment and have to keep the litter box in my bedroom!" - US Magazine

"As any true ailurophile knows, cats love to sleep. On average, kitties spend anywhere from 16 to 20 hours of each day napping.

So how do you make sure your cat stays happy andhealthy, even when you’re not home? That’s where Ebo comes (or rolls) in." - MentalFloss

"Walking from the kitchen to the bathroom and being greeted by a soaked sock because you stepped in water is enough to set anybody off. You search around for your dog or cat and they look up at you with big eyes and you can’t really be mad at them because it’s your fault their food and water dishes weren’t on a pet food mat. A food mat will keep their food bowls in one place and any cleanup will be easier to deal with. So make pet owning easier on yourself and your socks by picking up any of the three pet food mats we’ve highlighted here." - BGR

"Owning a pet doesn’t always necessarily qualify as “domestic bliss.” After the honeymoon phase, it can, at times, become rather stressful. While keeping a pet outside 24/7 certainly isn’t the answer, giving them an outdoor safe haven where they can let loose can be mentally relieving for both you and your beloved animal. Luckily, there are plenty of different pet houses — both indoor and out — that can serve such a purpose for your cat or dog." - BGR

"Picking out the perfect gift is hard, but if you have a cat lover in your life, a cat-themed present is almost always a winner. After all, there are only two types of people in this world: people who like cats, and people who are wrong (and if you’re a dog person who still appreciates cats, then you’re excused). You don’t even have to own a cat to appreciate a kitty-inspired gift." - Woman'sDay

"While pet collars might be more associated with canines, they are also great for cats, especially when it comes to indoor/outdoor cats who are of the curious sort and need to be easily identified.

"...Which leads me to my favorite piece of outdoor gear. It’s not my truck-top tent, although I do love that. It’s not my titanium gravel bike or my really nice Norwegian knife or my “beat to death but still working fine” hiking boots. It is, in fact, a tiny tent that my cat can sit in when we pretend she is camping." - Gear Patrol

"Now that we all are spending more time at home with our cats, the territory that was usually theirs for half the day is now a shared space. Your pet is also your co-worker now so it is important to keep them occupied while you focus on work and since most of us live in shared apartments or small flats, it is important that we don’t buy a cat palace but invest in a more space-saving structure like Catssup." - Yanko Design

"Cats are most famous for sleeping all the time and owning a controlling share in Youtube.
