Cats love treats, and will actually come to the shaking of the treat jar. The best and healthiest treats are dehydrated meat or fish bits. They add high quality protein to your cat’s diet and won’t put on weight like carbohydrate based treats. There are many to choose from: Liv-a-Littles Chicken, Wildside Salmon, Cat-Man-Doo bonito (tuna) flakes and many others made from beef, lamb, liver, cod and turkey.

Keep your cat happy, interested and active with a variety of fabulous toys. Anything with fur, feathers or movement will elicit his hunting instinct and contribute to his rich fantasy world. Wand toys let you interact with your cat, alleviating boredom and preventing obesity. Our favorite wands are the Da Bird and Met Pet feathers on a swivel that moves and sound like an actual bird! Laser toys are very amusing –cats will chase the little red dots until their paws fall off. Catnip toys are great too, about 60% of cats respond to catnip, and kittens take time to become sensitive to it. Did you know that most cats love honeysuckle toys?

Scratching is an essential feline function. It provides exercise, marks territory and removes the outer sheath of their claws. Channel their scratching behavior to a scratching post or cardboard scratcher in your house. More is better! They can be inexpensive and will save your furniture. Posts can be simple or elaborate and provide climbing opportunities for indoor enrichment.

Cats will always seek something soft and warm. Give your kitty her own place and protect your stuff from cat hair with a soft washable throw, mat or bed. Older cats especially will like our self-heating thermal mats with space age technology.
