Clouds of pet hair clumped all over the floor are one of the down sides of having a furry friend, but this grooming glove can help.

Cats are born with a natural drive to hunt, and this motorized chasing toy is a great way to satisfy that instinct.

Perfect for kitties that are adjusting to new homes (or cats that are simply prone to anxiety), this calming diffuser can help reduce stress and prevent unwanted behaviors like spraying and scratching.

This pheromone is the marker cats leave behind to make their territory more comforting. One reviewer wrote, “I just moved my cats into a new pad; my older boy is very anxious as it is, so the move was very stressful for him. I plugged in two diffusers and he is adjusting nicely!”

If your cat struggles with hairballs, try this hairball relief paste that’s flavored like a delicious treat.
