From cat shelves and cat scratching posts to cat cave beds and even a cat harness, you’re sure to find one that fits your unique feline friend.

PURR nail fun
My kitty wrapped all four paws and turned herself upside down and sideways! Fell in lobe instantly which is unusual for her as generally, it takes a minute or two.
-
Cute and Sturdy
I have many cats so I purchased a few of these. My cats love them. Plus, I have a couple of big cats that like to run and jump up on them and just stick like it is velcro. Then they start scratching really fast. I am hoping the cats keep their claws off my furniture with these scratching posts to use .
-
The cutest!
So far, Squeak has only used it to lick off the catnip that I added but that’s ok because it’s so darn cute!

Great for My Cat
As many reviewers said, this is not particularly easy to install but it's doable in a reasonable amount of time. You will need a good stud finder. The main problem I had was my studs are spaced differently than the wall mounts. I only had to use 1 drywall anchor for the hammock and was able to get everything else in the studs. My cat absolutely loves this! She spends most of her time in the hammock which is anchored directly below the ceiling. She gets in the condo occasionally. She loves running up into the hammock.

Sid's playground
Sid loves his new playground. We installed ours a little differently because of the space we had. The process to install each piece was very simple and it is very sturdy. The product itself is good quality. The instructions were a little hard to follow but we were successful. (We have added the other pieces since the picture was taken.)
-
Cats love it!
Build yourself a cat wall. My 4 cats love it. Installation is easy for someone with the right tools and knowledge.

Frisco Cat Tree and Condo
It was easy for me to put together and our cats love it, we have medium sized cats, 6 to 8 lbs..
-
Great tree
I have a lot of cats and they love this tree! My son and I were able to put it up without a problem.
-
The purrfect cat condo!!!
I have 4 cats so I wanted to get them a pretty decent sized cat condo that they could ALL fit on together and this one was perfect. It was a little time consuming to put together, but easy considering how many pieces there is. Definitely recommend it to anyone with more than 3 cats! My cats love it!!
Best for Cats Who Crave the Catnip

Maverick’s Cat Nip
He loves the cat nip he gets all excited when he sees the container come out he rolls all in it
-
Stoned Again!
Our old cats, love, love, love this catnip. During the winter months when my outside plants are dormant, this is the nip we turn to!
-
loves this catnip combo!
My cat (1.5 years old) really does not care for products laced with catnip or that cones in the little packets with toys, but this stuff he loves! One whiff of this and he is meowing for me to sprinkle his toys. He does like to lick it off and/or roll around in it.
Best for Cats Who Like to Chase

Compact, bright laser, with quiet click
All the other laser toys have made a loud click sound when turning it on. My cat would look at my hand and not play with the red laser dot when he heard it. This compact, bright, laser toy makes a very quiet click. The laser is press-and-hold to keep it shining, and the led light stays on with one press and flashes with a second press. It's one of the few toys my senior cat, who has kidney disease, will react to. It's also handy for checking in home in the middle of the night. It's perfect for me and Sly.
-
Right kind of laser pointer
It's exactly what I was looking for because it produces a compact red dot light. Another pointer from a big online seller produced an odd fish-like image that only got bigger and bigger the further away I aimed the laser. It only confused my cat. This one is perfect. It comes with three batteries installed, with the outermost of those covered by a small disc that prevented those batteries from discharging while the laser was in the package. Then there are three more replacement batteries included for later. All in all, it's a great laser pointer for playing with pets or whatever other use one has. And the price, with the three extra...
-
Crazy Cat Love
My cats totally love this laser light! When they are bored or it's time to play this is what they want to play with. When one tires herself out the other jumps in. And so it goes back and forth for 20 minutes. Really recommend this to have lots of fun and bonding time with your fur-babies!
Best for Cats Who Prefer Potty Privacy

EXACTLY what we needed
I am so grateful to have purchased this litter cover with storage! We moved from a small apartment to a small house without an obvious place for our Cheezit's litter box. We just stuck it in the bathroom for the time being and it was messy with escaped pine litter...and our 10-month old started walking, so it also became...well, you know. We purchased this cover and put it out in our living room under a window, with a nice pillow cat bed on top, and it is GREAT. It looks good, it functions great, our Cheezies likes being able to escape our walking baby and do her business in private. Highly recom

Nice Cat Bench
It gives the cats a"bench" to sit on, and fits a litterbox nicely. It will fit two if you put one facing to the side instead of to the front without the divider for supplies, depending on your litter boxes. If it had a door on either side it would be awesome, but you can cut one if needed. That said, the door side is interchangeable when putting it together, so you can decide left or right entry. The only thing that would make this better, is a water-proof flooring in case of accidents if someone pees over the side of a box. That can be fixed with a piece of flooring or plastic roll applied to the floor of the inside. It's a nice...

Perfect! Looks great. Love it. Easy to assemble.
This is a perfect piece to hide the litter box. Great quality and looks great in my home. Assembly was easy. I put it together by myself in a short time.
Best for Cats Who Wish They Could Catch a Bird

Durable Toy
I was looking for something originally to get me over the $50 mark and I saw this . I figured I'd give it a try since my cat loves the teaser toy. I am not disappointed! My cat loves it and I love the fact that the heads are replaceable so you don't have to worry about buying a whole new one.
-
Cats are Obsessed!
My cats drag this up and down the stairs they love it so much. They are very spoiled and don’t care for much, but this got them both moving!
-
My cats are obsessed and I have no peace
I don’t know what type of drugs are in this stupid string on a pole, but my cats are addicts. Every single day for two months, both of my cats DEMAND that I play chase with this with this. If I try and ignore them they drag it around my apartment, taunting me. This toy has taken over our lives. Anyways, five stars.
Best for Cats Who Won’t Tolerate a Dirty Litter Box
-
Best thing EVER
My only complaint is that I didn't buy this YEARS ago! I don't have to worry about my dogs getting in the litter box, no more cats stepping in dirty litter and no more scraping and dumping. Oh...and no more smell. It is a lot of money however it is a very sophisticated piece of equipment so no regrets here. LOVE IT!!!!
-
Great purchase
I originally purchased a cheaper automatic litter box thinking it would suffice but one of my two cats never took to it. So when I tried this one I was hesitant. Luckily for me, both cats took to this one right away! The one that didn’t use the last one is pretty skittish. So the fact that he has no problem with this one is a huge relief. When I first introduced him to the moving parts he was only curious and not scared much. The only downside of this litter box is that the litter gets all over the place. Both my cats have always sprinted out of their litter boxes once finished. So it’s no surprise that they do that for this one. I...
-
Worth the investment
We hesitated to make this pricey purchase but it is SO worth it! We recommend Slide litter for it to work best. We have 3 cats and they love not having to step around someone else's poo.

Cat Harness and Leash
I'm very happy with this combination harness and leash. It fits well and is secure. I look forward to exploring the outside with my small adventurous cat.
-
Great product
I put this on my 20 year old cat and she loved it. It fits well and is easy to remove when necessary.
-
Our Favorite Harness!
We have tried many harnesses for our cats, but our cats have been able to wiggle out of so many of them! Not this harness, though! Love how adjustable this harness is. It's super easy to adjust all parts of the harness to the perfect size for our cat. The harness slightly tightens when pulled which helps prevent our cat from escaping if something causes him to panic. We did change the leash as this one was too heavy and difficult to control. As with any cat, PLEASE make sure you take the appropriate steps to adjust them to harness and leash! It takes time, patience, positive reinforcement, and consistency!

Kenny loves it!
Beautiful quality , super cute, and actually stylish. Kenny the cat loves it and I really didn't even think he would go in it. He does and my lap is cold. Highly recommended and the size is perfect !!! (He is about 10 lbs)
-
Well made / enjoyable for my cats
Well made and aesthetically nice addition to the room - both cats were intrigued by the new addition. In colder weather, this will probably be even more attractive. Glad we purchased and will probably purchase a second one.
-
Wonderful Cat cave
My one cat loved this so much that I had to buy another one for my second cat ! They both adore their separate caves. The quality of the wool is fabulous and the colors are perfect
Best for Cats Who Are Not One to Share Their Food
-
Best thing I could have bought!!
This is my 4th feeder I have bought. I had 3 cats and it was perfect so one would not eat more than the others. Now I have 1 cat on a diet and that makes it even better. My other 3 feeders still work perfect, have had them for over 8 years. I thought I was going to have a foster fail, but he got adopted out. 🙂 Granted it is quite pricey, but in the long run, well worth it to me.
-
Preventing a future diabetic cat!
Wow this feeder is everything I was looking for. I have 2 cats and let’s just say one is a little overindulgent in their kibbles, while the other is a grazer. This feeder works for the grazer as he can go and eat whenever, while keeping chubby bubby out of the kibbles! Saving me money in the long run from preventing my cat from being diabetic!! There is a little learning curve for those skitty kitties, but 3 days and lots of treats will teach your baby how to use it!
-
Works perfectly!
It's pricey, that's for sure but worth the money. My older two cats kept eating the kitten's food. You could see the weight they put on fast. Ordered this, the 8-month-old kitten understood how to use this within 24 hours and stopped waking us up multiple times a night to be fed. Just make sure they are comfortable wearing a collar beforehand.

Holiday dinner
My cats loved this product . They are allergic to the tuna products and it’s nice to have a choice for them.

Feliway saved or cat
We have a big Maine Coon girl who has real separation anxiety. Feliway gives her relief, and she stresses so much less!
-
If you try you will notice a big difference!
I honestly didnt think this would work. I received the first Feliway from my Vet and the 2nd and now this 3rd time I ordered from Chewy its alot cheaper through this company but anyway, my cats fight alot and the female who has been here longer than the male ( which by the way are spaded and neutered) she started urinating on the furniture and ruined our love seat. So started this and it worked. I ran out of this a week ago and she urinated on our bed and she was doing so good. So I ordered this right away and I plugged it in as soon as I got it out of the package! I recommend this product!
-
Changed my life
My cats couldn't even stand the smell of each other. I couldn't have them in the same room for even a second without a huge brawl. I got Feliway and didn't notice much of a difference at first but now it has been 3 weeks and suddenly not only can they be in the same room but they play together! One of my cats still has some anger issues, but I can see a TREMENDOUS difference from before. I highly recommend!!

Extremely happy with the genetic mutation health testing
I'm extremely happy with the results. I did this more for the genetic health tests. The results were incredibly fast. Cats unless purebred are generally nuts/Domestic cats. It's hard to get their breeds like a dog. I think if people are looking for something for just the breed information for a non-purebred mix, it might be disappointing. My cat visually is a Munchkin cat. I did know my cat had a purebred mix mother, I was surprised to find my cat's Mother was a Sphynx Mixed with a (Main coon x Ragdoll). Her father was the Munchkin, which apparently was a 100% American Domestic Cat. I got the genetic answers I was looking for. I was...
-
Fun & Useful Information
Really easy to use, I thought I'd have more issues getting the swabs from my cat but it really wasn't that bad. Shipped it in, got the results back exactly when they were estimated. Cool results, user-friendly website. My cat didn't have any health concerns return, but I'm sure it would be very helpful for those who do have concerns about that. I found my cat in a bush outside at a few weeks old during a cold snap and brought him in, so I knew nothing about him. Definitely gave me a good idea of what he'll look like when he gets older and how big he'll get!
-
Highly recommend, makes a great gift.
It was fun and interesting to get the results. I would do it on any dog or cat I get in the future. This is a great gift to get a dog or cat lover, that's how I got it, I will now get one to give as a gift also.

Christmas goody box for cats
What I like about these boxes is there are a few options for purchasing In this specific box They sent grain free freeze dried snacks (so nothing unhealthy like friskies) A large stocking, 3 small holiday toys and a medium soft sherpa blanket Look forward to the next holiday box they offer
-
My parents cat loved it
My parents could stop raving about how much their cat took to everything in this box. She already has a favorite toy from it and is very picky on how she lays on the blanket included. Will definitely be buying again for Christmas next year
-
Very nice box of goodies
This was a really nice box of quality kitty goodies for the kids. The blanket is very soft and pretty, cute stocking, yummy treats and fun toys. All and all, Kitty approved!
