The Best Cat Toys, Litter Boxes, and Other Supplies for Your Furry Friend (2024)

Cats are beautiful, interesting, weird creatures. If you're lucky enough to be loved by one, it's your God-given responsibility to give them a comfortable and fun home. Cats require a specific environment to play, scratch, and relax. Based on years of testing with our pets, these are our favorite cat toys, litter boxes, and other feline supplies. Even if our cats rejected a particular product, we still examined overall construction, design, and value to determine whether it may be useful for other kitties. They can be finicky, so you may have to consider a few to find the right fit.Check out our related guides like Our Favorite Fancy Cat Furniture. More of a dog person? We've got you covered!

The Best Veterinary Telemedicine Services for Your Pet (2023)

Once you create a pet profile, you can save health records and prescriptions. In the To-Do tab, you can create reminders for giving your pet medication, restocking food and supplies, and scheduling checkups. You can also request birthday notifications.

18 Best Subscription Boxes to Gift (2023): Services We Love

Between birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, it's easy to run out of gift ideas. Don't throw your hands in the air just yet—consider a subscription box. There are boxes for nearly every interest, and your giftee gets to try a bunch of stuff that would be far too expensive for you to compile yourself. You can buy them one month, but we think three months makes the perfect gift, because they'll get that warm giddy feeling again and again.I'm also a firm believer that you need to gift yourself every so often. These boxes work whether you're buying for yourself or someone else.None of the options below require contracts, so you can cancel at any time. (Just check the fine print for how many days prior to billing you need to notify them.) If you purchase a multiple-month subscription, you c...
