What To Get for Your New Cat – Essential Items

Getting a cat can be an exciting experience. In all the excitement, it is easy to overlook essential items that you’re going to need to turn your house into a home for your new feline friend. Here is a quick list of essential items you’ll want to make sure you have before bringing your cat home.

 

Litter Box Furniture

One of the first things you have to take care of before bringing your cat home is the litter box. In the list of essential items for owning a cat, the litter box is near the top. Just because you have to have a litter box doesn’t mean the whole world has to know. A hidden litter box enclosure that blends with your existing furniture is an excellent way to meet your cat’s needs while also concealing the place where it does its business.

 

An option such as The Refined Litter Box Deluxe will allow you to choose from numerous different styles and finishes to fit in perfectly with your home’s aesthetic. It also has a top drawer where you can store accessories and features a slot on the back that holds any standard carbon filter. This nifty little feature will prevent undesirable odors from escaping the litter box and entering into your room.

 

Water Fountain

Another absolutely essential set of items you will need to get for your cat is a food and water bowl. There are numerous options for food bows available, but when selecting a water bowl, a great option is one with a running stream. A cat water fountain will encourage your new pet to drink more frequently and help keep the water cleaner as it circulates through the system. You can find several different variations and options of these bowls online, in many different price ranges.

 

Cat Tree

Cats love to scale and perch in high, lofty places. Providing a cat tree in your home for them to climb and relax on will help prevent your new friend from climbing on top of other pieces of furniture and damaging them. Traditional cat trees available can look tacky when mixed with modern, upscale furniture.

The Lotus Cat Tower offers an elegant solution that will seamlessly fit the existing furniture in your home. The careful attention to style, coupled with excellent build materials, makes this option perfect for providing the activity your cat needs without detracting from your home’s visual appeal.

 

Cat Scratching Post

Cats by nature need to scratch and sharpen their claws. The issue occurs however when they decide that your couch is the perfect place to do it. You don’t want a cat to shred your expensive upholstery. However, this behavior can be easily managed.

The Calypso Everlasting Cat Scratcher is a durable cat scratcher made of claw-proof faux rattan. Your cat will love to scratch it and you’ll love how it looks in your home!
