There's a Venn diagram of decor snobs and cat lovers — and if you're sitting pretty in the middle of it, you're in good company. My cats love this thing. My little kitten Jezebel has claimed the top as her own (seriously, she loves this thing), but my mammoth boy Archie (he's 20 pounds!) fits in the condo comfortably. I bought this in a hurry after Jez kept trying to knock my TV over — she really wanted to be involved in the football game my boyfriend and I were watching — and it has (*knocks on wood*) solved that issue. She can entertain herself for a while with the bell toy and scratchers, and then once she's tired herself out, she'll take a long nap up on the perch. And, at under $40, this is a GREAT budget cat tree. Promising review: "Cat approved! Needed this height to match the window. Good oversized top bed for large cats. They use the scratching posts and cubby. Needed this size and simple option for the space. Easy to assemble and sturdy design. Great price." —Risa SJ Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in five other styles). Promising review: "I got this scratching mat for my two cats, Ollie and Leo, and they absolutely love it! The design is beautiful and looks great in my home — such a nice change from typical cat products. It’s sturdy, well-made, and perfect for scratching. As soon as I put it up, they started using it right away. Highly recommend for anyone with cats who wants something functional and stylish!" —Sung M. Woo Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in seven styles). Smalls is a small business focused on providing high-quality cat food and products. I LOVE these bowls. And so do my cats! My babies like to eat where their humans eat, and my dining room *is* also my living room (yay, urban real estate). This matches my decor, and the kitties have been digesting their food much better because their mealtime posture is so good! It's really reduced Archie's scarf-and-barf frequency. Plus, the tray on the bottom helps my messy-eater Jezebel from spilling food on her mat. Promising review: "I recently changed my cat’s food bowl to this one because she wasn’t eating out of her old bowl. This has helped her appetite significantly as she no longer experiences whisker fatigue. The strawberry design is super cute too — exactly as shown in the photo." —Jane Kim Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in three fruit styles). I currently have the small bed for my babies, and while my big ol' Archie boy (20 pounds) *does* fit — I'm currently waiting on a medium to get him a bit more wiggle room to cuddle with his sister. They love cuddling, and the small doesn't quite leave enough room for the both of them. Promising review: "Such a cozy cat bed, wish I could fit in one :) Our 5-month-old kitten sleeps in it every night. Haven’t washed it yet but looks like it should hold up." —olive Get it on Amazon for $31.99+ (available in eight sizes and eight patterns). Promising review: "This might be the best cat product I’ve ever purchased. It works incredibly well and it’s adorable. I was worried that adding a cat bed to our bedroom window would make my cats happy but totally ruin our decor, but if anything this makes it cuter. Just a complete home run. It’s super sturdy too, I feel like I could sit there and would be OK! Worth every penny." —soledad liquori Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors). PSST...There's a ~secret entrance~ in the very back of the enclosure's open compartment where your cat can come and go as they please. No dogs allowed! This is actually in my living room right now, and my cats have designated this enclosure as their "pee box" (I don't know how or why, but both of them poop and pee in different boxes 😭). I paired it with this litter pan, which works beautifully. All of my houseguests are really surprised to learn that the lovely cabinet we have in our living room is actually a litter box. This is easily the best investment I've made cat-wise. Promising review: "Absolutely love this! It’s discreet and my cats have full privacy. I love that it is hidden and the size is perfect. The doors stay closed and provides less mess as their scratching stays inside the cabinet." —Karsyn Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in five styles and three sizes). PSA: The "base kit" includes the bottom and top planter pieces, the carbon-infused odor filter, real florist moss, and a faux palm plant. The "essentials kit" includes all that and a removable litter tray that fits perfectly, so that's definitely worth checking out. Good Pet Stuff Co. is a small business specializing in high-quality, unique pet products such as hidden litter boxes and dog travel seats. Their products are made in Kansas. This is my cats' "poop box" (they both only poop in here! Don't know why!) and people are frankly quite surprised to learn that my living room "plant" is no plant at all. It blends seamlessly with the rest of my eclectic decor, and it contains smells pretty well! Promising review: "Could not be happier with this. I cannot stand the look of an open litter box. Previously, I took the doors off my bathroom vanity and sewed fabric into a curtain and hung that on a tension rod to hide the litter pan in. The way the pipes were set under the vanity in my new apartment made it so my cat didn’t have enough room to do his business with that setup anymore has taken to peeing in the shower, random spots.. This solved the space problem and looks pretty. Nobody would know it’s a litter box!" —Dani Get it from Amazon for $57.95 (available in two shapes and seven colors; also available without a litter tray). Promising review: "I really love the look. The larger size is helpful since I have two large litter boxes, with plenty of room extending in front so that any trailing litter on their paws falls off onto the mat before they reach the floor. I am so thankful that they came with two in the package so I can throw one in the washing machine while the other is in use. They wash nicely. It pretty much stays in place, although it is rather lightweight, so it can bunch up a bit when sweeping, but that is a very minor issue for me. I have a lightweight stand-up vacuum in the room that works well on it too. I threw out the rubbery litter-trapping mats that I used to use that were impossible to keep clean. I've been using these for about a month and hope they last a while." —Antonia B Get a pack of two from Amazon for $28.99 (available in three sizes and 12 colors). Promising review: "I repurchased this litter mat after my apartment building caught on fire because I didn't want to go without it. It is so stinking cute and colorful and high quality! It's a little smaller than what we need, but it is true to the listing. It's no issue when paired with a larger mat. It's super easy to use, soft enough for my cats' feet but coarse enough to collect the litter from their tracking tendencies. It's a little pricey for the size, but it is honestly well worth it for how cute it is." —Emily Tompkins Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in eight styles). Promising review: "I am one who enjoys spoiling my cats, and this fun orange was no exception. My kitten loves to scratch, jump on top of the orange, push it across the room, and tries to get the stem to come off. It is definitely a fun scratcher for the cats to enjoy." —Sophia Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in four shapes). Promising review: "My cat loves this bed! I was looking for an aesthetically pleasing cat bed and this was perfect! It’s matches our decor while looking classy while still being comfy for my cat. I’ve had it for almost a year now and it’s still in perfect condition." —Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $92.99+ (available in three colors). Since coming across this tree, I haven't stopped singing 🎵 mUshRoOm cAt TrEe 🎵 to the tune of Benson Boone's "Mystical, Magical" for like 32 hours straight. I don't even know the other words to that song. I thought it was called "Moonbeam Ice Cream" until just now. Someone send help. Promising review: "I’m not one to leave reviews on Amazon, but honestly, I LOVE this cat tree! It matches my room's aesthetic, and my fur baby absolutely loves it too! While I was building it, she hopped right into the smaller hammock on the bottom and hung out (albeit making moving it a bit harder, but that’s what cats do lol). Pretty easy to set up and with no issue on reaching my ceiling to lock it in place." —Mindy Valerioti Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (mushroom style available in two heights; also available in other styles and heights). Promising review: "My kitty loves his new bed. To get him used to it, I placed several treats on it, and he jumped right in. I used a hook that can hold a 50-pound painting to hang it up. It goes with my aesthetic, and it’s so functional! Great purchase." —Lael Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors and two sizes). Promising review: "My friend has cats so I gave this to her. She cannot stop talking about how convenient it is. She love the colors. Love how compact it is. Love how firm the grip is. And it's easy to store." —Fiona Moody Promising review: "I will NEVER go back to plastic water fountains. This fountain is sturdy and beautiful. The best part? Being able to put the ceramic pieces in the dishwasher. I could never get plastic clean and always worried about mold and contamination. This fountain is quiet, stays cleaner longer, and my cats love it." —Yvonne Neilson Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in five colors; extra filters also available for $9.99). Promising review: "We have one cat in particular we bought this for since she favors the cardboard scratching posts and is a mix of ragdoll and is…well…'big boned.' Seems all three of our girls have taken to it. Fits our bigger cat (about 18 pounds) alone and could easily fit our two others together if one wasn’t such a snob. Great for scratching too! One of our cats is polydactyl, and she puts those extra claws to work. This couch is holding up well to all the scratching and heavy weight." —Mikel Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in nine colors). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has their Ivy 3 cat tree and adores it: "I was ready to invest in a tree that was high quality, attractive, and a bit simpler, offering the main features my adult cats really care about: baskets for napping in and scratching posts they can claw up. After extensive market research, I realized Mau had everything I was looking for: the quality and durability, the chic modern look, and the option to replace parts that my cats will inevitably wear down with time. Also, you can purchase the cushions and pom-pom balls for your tower in different colors, with some really gorgeous shade options yet! I definitely plan on making this upgrade for my tree soon." Get the Cento tree (pictured left) from Amazon for $299 (available in three colors) and see select other cat trees on their Amazon storefront. And check out their full website for even more options, including the Ivy 3 tree (pictured right) for $329 (available in two colors). The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic, nontoxic products for other passionate cat owners. Promising review: "LOVE this grass and so does my kitty! Beautiful, healthy, thick green grass grows in a couple of days, so much better than other cat grasses I’ve bought. Planter is stylish, and the soil pods are so easy to use. Helps my kitty with digestive issues. So pleased. Will only buy this grass from now on." —Nicole H. Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three planter colors). Promising review: "Super duper cute!! I was searching for a mat that wasn’t super basic and grey, and this one struck my fancy right away. The quality is great and super easy to clean. Definitely a 10/10 for me." —Jenna Jones Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in nine styles). Promising review: "I’m going through a checkered phase. I saw this and immediately bought it to put under my cat’s food and water. The material is thick and sturdy and I LOVE the print. Super easy to clean too." —ashinginyourcoffee Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors and two sizes). These toys also have a crinkly paper filling, silver bells, and pom attachments for added fun. Your cat won't even miss their chewed-up foam ball. Promising review: "Perfect to place in little nooks and crannies for cats to discover and bat around or carry in their mouth. Satisfaction for the pom lover and the gnawing of felt. Solid design and squeaks less. Good value." —d. sciarro BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
