Helpful buying advice before you spend more

Best litter and odour-control products

Litter products are some of the most practical cat purchases because they affect your home every day. If you want to reduce smell, mess or daily cleaning, start here.

Best feeding and drinking products

Feeding products are useful if you want cleaner routines, better food storage or more consistent mealtimes.

Best products for indoor cats

Indoor cats often benefit from products that add climbing, scratching, watching, hiding and play opportunities.

Best safety, travel and outdoor products

These products help with moving cats safely, giving controlled outdoor access or improving day-to-day security.

Best grooming and care products

Grooming products are usually lower-cost, but they are practical purchases that can be useful for many owners.

Best products for new cat owners

If you are getting a cat soon, do not buy everything at once. Start with essentials, then upgrade once you understand your cat’s behaviour.

What should you buy first?

  • Getting a cat soon: carrier, litter tray, litter, bowls, food and scratcher.
  • Trying to reduce daily hassle: automatic feeder, water fountain, better litter setup or self-cleaning litter box.
  • Indoor cat needs enrichment: cat tree, window perch, tunnel, toys or exercise wheel.
  • Want safer outdoor access: harness, catio, outdoor enclosure or secure cat flap.
  • Want to spend more carefully: use the calculator and checklist before buying upgrades.
