Check out their other products, and pay attention to the details.

Litter box supplies
I can’t stress enough how important a clean litter box is. Unfortunately, people often overlook this step.
Cats deserve a clean bathroom just like you. The cat’s nose is 10+x stronger than ours.
The right litter box supplies will help decrease:
- Behavioral issues
- Health issues
- Litter aversion
I spend 5 mins/week on litter maintenance.
It’s really easy to keep it clean and odor-free. Without using heavily scented nasty litter that your cat hates.
Stainless steel box

Ditch the plastic litter box. Plastic traps bacteria.
With a plastic box you have:
- More odor
- Difficult cleaning
- More money replacing it every year
- Waste on the environment
- More stank if you don’t replace it regularly
A stainless steel box is:
- More sanitary
- Easier to clean
- Less stank
- One-time investment
Buy a stainless steel box.
Double-layer litter mat
Let’s face it: every type of litter tracks. A double-layer litter mat helps keep the litter area clean.
A mesh-looking mat is:
- Small in size
- Difficult to clean out all litter pieces
- Stinky over time since you can’t clean it properly
A double-layer litter mat is:
- Large in size
- Easy to clean between the layers
- More sanitary since you can clean it
Buy a double-layer litter mat.
Update: I donated my double-later litter mat and purchased a 100% cotton rug from Hook & Loom. They are not available on Amazon. However, this rug on Amazon is pretty similar.
Walnut litter
I’ve tried 11 types of litter and heavily researched 4 others. So far walnut is the only eco-friendly litter that’s worth it.
Other litters:
- Corn, wheat, and cassava (anything starch-based) may form deadly mold
- Clay and crystal litter is not safe to breathe or ingest
- Breathing in wood dust can cause cancer
- Hemp doesn’t trap the stank or clump
- Grass seed litter may come with dead bugs (this happened to me with 3 different brands)
- Coconut litter is too dusty (I wanted to love this one)
Walnut litter is:
- Made with walnut shells and plant-based clumping agents
- Not too dusty
- Small granules
- Odor-blocked with enzymes
- Scent-free (available)
Buy walnut cat litter.
Metal scoop
Again, ditch the plastic.
A plastic scoop:
- Traps bacteria which means more stank
- Is difficult to clean properly
- Needs to be replaced regularly
A metal scoop is:
- More sanitary
- Easier to clean
- A one-time investment
Buy a metal litter scoop.
PS – My litter scoop pictured above is melamine which is a type of plastic. I bought it at Petco when we adopted Jericho in 2017. Long before I knew about how unsanitary plastic is. However, the litter scoop stays clean, and it still works. So I don’t want it to go to waste.
Glass jug or stainless steel garbage (DIY litter genie)
The litter genie is a great product, in theory. Unfortunately, it’s made out of plastic. This gets very dirty very easily. At least in my experience working as a cat sitter.
So I use a DIY litter genie instead.

I have a glass jug with garbage bags. Or you could use a stainless steel mini trash bin.
Buy a glass jug or a small stainless steel garbage bin.
Dog waste bags
Dog waste bags are great for DIY litter genies. If you use the stainless steel garbage above, check the size of the bags before purchasing them.
My DIY litter genie is a gallon glass jug. Doggie waste bags fit perfectly.
You can buy some doggie waste bags on Amazon or your local pet store.
Or you could reuse shopping bags from the grocery store.
I’ve tested plant-based garbage bags, and they don’t work.
Unfortunately, plastic works better. But the real litter genie’s bags are plastic anyway.
Door Buddy
The Door Buddy is a great solution if you have dogs and/or children that you need to keep out of the litter area.
It’s an adjustable door strap and latch that you put on the door. The door will stay open only enough for your cat to go into the litter room.
This is much easier than installing a door flap. Especially if you don’t own your home.
Buy the Door Buddy.
Urine test strips
Cats won’t tell us when something is off. So their bathroom habits are a great indicator of health.
I use these urine strips for preventative care.
It’s much easier to prevent health issues if you catch early signs. Managing a problem when it’s too late is much more difficult.
Buy urine test strips.
Urine odor remover
I don’t have any accident problems with my cat, Jericho. He uses the box regularly.
Pssst.. It’s because I scoop as he goes and clean the box completely once a week.
But, if you have issues with litter aversion or markings, check out this urine odor remover.
It’s made with natural ingredients that won’t harm your cats, dogs, or children.
Buy natural urine odor remover (US, CA).
Cat furniture
Cats need proper enrichment to stay sane indoors. The right furniture will provide plenty of enrichment.
Get cat furniture that satisfies multiple enrichment needs.
Enrichment includes:
- Climbing up high
- Scratching
- Hiding
- Resting
- Window-watching and relaxing in the sun
This enrichment keeps cats active, prevents boredom, and provides mental stimulation.
Refined Feline Lotus tower
Refined Feline Lotus tower is one of the best furniture pieces on Amazon.
Others on Amazon:
- Are cheaply made
- Smell funny
Refined Feline lotus tower is:
- Durable and made to last
- Tested at animal shelters
- High with multiple levels, resting perches, and scratching areas
Buy the Refined Feline Lotus tower (US, CA).
Or buy a budget-friendly cat condo. This is the one we have, and Jericho still uses it every day. Better than no condo!
Scratching post
All cats have the natural urge to scratch.
Scratching allows cats to:
- Shed dead layers of claws
- Mark their territory
- Stretch
It’s tall, and Jericho loves it.
NOTE: I bought it in 2017. I had to buy new sisal rope twice.
In 2020, I decided to upcycle the scratching post with the Ripple Rug (bottom only) rather than buying more sisal.
In 2021, I bought a carpet scratching post from CatsPlay (check international shipping).
I also bought the Purrfect Post scratcher because it’s made with solid wood and sisal fabric. It’s much nicer and sturdier than the Trixie post.
I include Trixie in this list because we’re talking about Amazon products. Trixie scratching post is better than no scratching post!
Refined Feline also sells scratchers on Amazon (US, CA).
Turboscratcher Pad
Cats also like to scratch cardboard. Cardboard is made of trees. Trees are nature’s scratching post.
This is why cats love boxes.
Boom!
The Turboscratcher Pad is plastic (blah) and has a cardboard scratcher in the middle. There’s a ball track around the cardboard.
It’s a toy and a scratcher.
Buy the Turboscratcher Pad.
Tip: If you’d like a more eco-friendly option that’s built to last, check out JML Pets on Etsy.
Interactive toys
Playtime is great exercise and mental stimulation for indoor cats. Indoor cats don’t hunt.
Playtime is the indoor version of hunting.
Playtime:
- Prevents boredom and destructive behavior
- Cats prefer human interaction to other stimuli
- Provides exercise and mental stimulation
The best way to get your cat to play is to include yourself!
Tip: Here’s exactly how I get Jericho to play with me every day. Don’t fool yourself. All cats love to play!
Cat Dancer
The Cat Dancer is so simple, but all cats love it. It’s made with a thin piece of wire and pieces of cardboard.
Why would you spend money on it?
Because all cats love to play with it.
Buy the Cat Dancer.
Tip: Here are 10 different ways to play with the Cat Dancer.
Cat School clicker training kit
Clicker training your cat is great for mental stimulation, healthy exercise, and it’s a fun bonding session.

Jericho and I absolutely love clicker training. I use it for behaviors but also for agility. Jericho is extremely active. But I still like to make agility courses for him and train fun tricks.

The clicker trainer kit comes with a booklet and guided tutorials that are very easy to follow. My good friend and biz buddy makes these kits!
Buy Cat School clicker training kit.
And check out my clicker training cats guide.
RompiCatz (previously Neko Flies)
Wand toys are amazing interactive toys. RompiCatz makes a wand rod and several attachment toys.
This is great because cats get bored easily. Choose from bugs, mice, birds, and other little critters.
These little critters are natural prey. Your cat will go crazy hunting for them.
Buy the RompiCatz wands (US only).
Or buy other wand options.
Rainbow wand
Rainbow ribbon wands are another hit. Some cats hunt snakes.
The simple ribbon mimics a snake perfectly.
Buy the rainbow wand.
Mice
Mice are another natural prey of cats. These mice are made out of recycled bottles.
Hide these around your home and get your cat to hunt.
They’re the perfect size for batting around.
Buy fun mice.
Food supplies
We are what we eat. Cats need proper food and the right supplies to get the best nutrition.
Most commercial cat food (kibble and wet):
- Is highly processed cereal
- Provides very little animal protein
- Contains dangerous mystery ingredients
- Isn’t species-appropriate
You’d be shocked to learn what’s inside your cat’s food.
Tip: Check out cat food facts for everything you need to know about cat food.
Sanitary food dishes (non-plastic)
Sanitary food dishes include stainless steel, glass, and lead-free ceramic.
Plastic traps bacteria. Even with regular washing.
This can cause chin acne and food contamination.
The raised stand we have comes with 2 stainless steel bowls and a plate.
Super convenient since we need to ditch plastic, right?
Buy the raised food stand and dish combo (US only. Choose small size for cats).
Recently, I upgraded to this food mat. It’s food-grade silicone, and it’s very large. Perfect for meal prepping and feeding Jericho his whole prey.
Vacuum sealer
I use this vacuum sealer to keep Jericho’s raw food fresher for longer. Sometimes certain ingredients like blue mussels and oysters are in the freezer for more than a month.

So I like to use the vacuum sealer to prevent freezer burn and to keep the food fresher.
Buy the vacuum sealer.
Feeder mice
Treat-release toys are great for mental stimulation. We should make our cats work for their food.
Unfortunately, most of these toys are made out of plastic.
Wash these regularly.
Buy the feeder mice for fun hunting.
Organic cat grass
Cats graze on grass occasionally. Grass provides insoluble fiber and may help your cat pass things along.
Make sure your cat grass is organic.
Cats may puke up the grass if they have too much. Put it in a closed room and use it as a treat.
Buy organic cat grass.
Healthy treats
Most cat treats on Amazon are made with cheap, poor-quality ingredients. These treats do more harm than good.
Don’t be fooled by the “dental health” marketing claim.
Check out my healthy cat treat guide for more info.
Healthy treats are made with:
- One to two ingredients: meat & organs
- Human-grade ingredients
- No carbs, fillers, or deadly dyes
Buy healthy treats:
SmallBatch freeze-dried raw food
SmallBatch uses human-grade quality ingredients in their food. It’s complete and balanced for kittens and adult cats.
This is excellent if you want to feed raw but don’t have freezer space.
I highly recommend rehydrating it with water when you feed it.
Buy SmallBatch freeze-dried food.
Tip: Use my switch from kibble to raw plan to help your cat actually like the new food.
Feline Natural wet food
If you aren’t comfortable with feeding raw, Feline Natural is a great wet food brand.
They use whole food ingredients, lots of meat, and only necessary supplements to make the meal complete.

Feline Natural wet food includes:
- Whole ingredients
- Meat-only protein
- No fillers, carbs, or crap
It definitely costs more than feeding homemade. But it’s a huge upgrade from all types of dry food.
Ziwi Peak air-dried food
If your cat is picky about new food (aka addicted to kibble), you may have to use Ziwi Peak air-dried food on your way to wet and/or raw.
The shape and texture resembles kibble so this can be helpful in the transition to better quality food.
Ziwi Peak Air-Dried food includes:
- Whole ingredients
- Meat-only protein
- No fillers, carbs, or crap
It is still too low in moisture for cats. However, this is still an upgrade.
Grooming supplies
Did you know that cats spend 30-40% of their day grooming? Whew!
Help out your cats with proper grooming supplies.
Tip: Ease into grooming. Make it a fun routine and take your time. Offer lots of healthy treats and praise for cooperation.
If your cat has had enough, then you’re done for the day.
Slicker brush
I like this brush the best because it’s easy to use.
Jericho hated brushing for a while. But now he loves it.
I’ve also tried the love glove. My clients liked it more than Jericho.
Buy the slicker brush.
Tip: Start slow, make brushing a routine, and your cat will expect it.
Claw clippers
Please don’t use human nail clippers on your cat. You’ll splinter his nail and cause serious pain.
Only use claw clippers designed for cats. Watch my video on how to trim a cat’s claws.
Buy a cat claw clipper.
Note: I am not talking about declawing. Only trimming the pointy ends.
Self-groomer brush
Cats rub on things to mark their territory, and it feels good.
These self-groomer brushes are fun. We have 2 on the corners of the hallway wall.
They are plastic (blah), but Jericho does use them.
Buy the self-groomer brushes.
Travel
Cats prefer to stick to their territory. But, if you have to travel, or your guys enjoy traveling, get the right gear.
The right gear will keep your travels safe and stress-free.
Tip: Check out my cat travel guide before you travel with cats.
Harness and leash
Use a harness and leash to keep your cat safe. Even if you have a carrier.
Cats are mischievous. If cats want to get out, they’ll find a way out.
Don’t forget to train your cat on how to use it before you travel. Start training in your home first.
Your cat will probably flop over and forget “how to cat”. Jericho did.
Buy the bungee harness and leash.
Cat backpack
A comfy carrier is a must. Ditch those 1950s hard-plastic carriers. Seriously, it’s like a jail cell in there.
Use a soft-case carrier that has mesh airflow and a comfy bottom instead.
We have this backpack that is super sturdy, has lots of pockets, and mesh throughout for air flow.

Buy Your Cat Backpack.
Pet travel bag
You’ll also need a travel bag for your cats.
This travel bag has:
- A zipper mesh pocket inside
- Mesh pockets throughout
- Collapsible food and water bowls
- 2 extra insulated bags
It’s like a suitcase for your cat!
Buy the pet travel bag for your cat’s stuff.
Emergency kit
Emergency kits are a must-have for travel. It’s a must-have even when you don’t travel.
Better safe than sorry, right?
This emergency kit has:
- 40 pieces total
- Cotton swabs and gauze pads
- Bandages, tape, and wraps
- A claw clipper and tick trap
- Disinfectant pads
Buy the emergency kit for travel and your home.
Pet first aid book
This book is geared toward kids. So, don’t worry, you’ll be able to understand it!
It includes basic steps with detailed photos.
The 36-page book covers:
- Choking
- Allergic reactions and bee stings
- Rescue breathing and CPR
- Bleeding
- Fractures
- Heatstroke
- Frostbites
- Poisoning
- Seizures and shock
- Upset tummy
Buy the pet first aid book to keep your cats safe (US only).
Final thoughts on Amazon cat products
Double-check the brands and product details before buying.
Cats are super-sensitive. Don’t use toxic materials on them and around your home.
Remember, cats are natural-born hunters that need enrichment and mental stimulation.
Buy cat products that satisfy their needs. Play with your cat and provide the best nutrition you can afford.
