Promising review: "I don't know if other cat owners have had a similar issue or if I’m just being obsessive, but I’ve never been able to find a good litter box for my two cats. But alas, my search is over. This litter box is amazing!! I sometimes get lazy when it comes to cleaning the litter box daily, and this solves that perfectly. TIP: to get my cats used to a new litter box, I sprinkled some of their original litter into the new litter, and made the box do a clea” so that it distributed the original litter evenly. Don’t use too much though, this machine definitely won’t work with clumping litter." —Kaselyn Ondrias

Promising review: "I wish I had found this years ago! We have a multi cat, multi dog household and there is truly nowhere we can put the litter box that the dogs can’t get to. Cue disgusting treats from the cat box, messes of litter everywhere from them snacking, and making me want to throw up regularly! Not only can the dogs not get in the cat box now, but they genuinely show NO interest. Also the cats don’t track almost any litter out now. It catches on the lid and a quick little swipe of the little brush I got…that excess litter goes back through the holes on the lid. This seriously saved my sanity!" —Kristen

Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedded hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back and forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" —Shelby Cipolla

Promising review: "Once I figured out the portion size amounts, it only took Ollie 24 hours to realize I wasn't adding food to his dish! It works perfectly and no more 4:45 wake-up calls!" —Michael McCaffrey

Promising review: "I bought it hoping my elderly cat would stop pestering me constantly to brush him. It was the best money ever spent. He took to it immediately and spent 10 minutes after I installed it just brushing himself. He loves it and is happy, so I’m happy." —allison

Promising review: "I bought this for my 3-month old kitten to scratch on so he won't go for my furniture. So far so good, he is in love with it. I have one stuck to the wall so he can stretch and scratch. I have another one on the floor and sometimes he loves sleeping on it. It does the job and I would recommend!" —Connie

Promising review: "Bought this so my cat would stop sitting on my laptop while I’m trying to work (watch movies lol). Very effective. She loves it. Hasn’t sat on my laptop since I put it up. Booyahhhh." —pwood27

Promising review: "My cat went through a phase of peeing in the corner on my carpet. I used this product to eliminate the oder. The orange smell is a bit strong but it definitely masks the smell. It also worked as a repellant by keeping my cat away from that area. Problem solved!" —PsykotikEpizodez

Promising review: "I absolutely love this. Nobody knows it’s a litter box. The cats love climbing through the little opening and I don’t have to worry about my dogs getting into it because they can’t reach it into the far chamber. Easy to clean, too. Just open the front doors and scoop out. Another one of these things I wish I had known about years ago." —Elizabeth Teifer

Promising review: "I trained my cat as a kitten to drink from faucets, which is natural for cats. They like moving water. But it became annoying to keep getting up when she wanted a drink. Then I saw this at a great price. I always wanted a fountain for my cat but they were pricey. She liked it right away! I am so glad I got this. I don't have to get up to give her a drink now. I highly recommend this." —VintageMXer

Promising review: "I live on the second floor of an apartment building and I have a 3-year-old son. My cat's litter box is in the living room. I clean the litter box daily and was finding it difficult to take it down to the first floor trashcan daily because I couldn't leave my son alone or was too exhausted after he went to sleep to do so. If I put it in my regular trashcan, it of course smelled up the entire room. I use this daily to get rid of the litter and don't smell a thing. I even asked guests if they smell anything, and I've heard that they can't smell anything at all. I think it works better than my Diaper Genie did. Highly recommend!" —M

Promising review: "We just got a 9-week-old kitten and he will not stop chewing on my iPhone charging cord—we actually have to hide the cord to get him to leave it alone. But after we covered the cord with this product, he’s no longer interested! He tries to play with it but moves on after a minute or so! Huge success! Here he is, being mad at me for messing up his favorite toy haha." —Emily

Peel off the self-adhesive pad and apply to all corners of your couch, and for additional security you can use the provided twist pins.

Promising review: "Granted my couches look like someone's granny's, but my cat can't destroy the front of them any longer. I'm enthused. Will be buying more. Looooove the swirly tacks you put in to keep it secure. I love the embarrassed look on his face when he goes to claw my couch and can't do it." —Alisha Bernard

Promising review: "We have three very old cats and they scatter litter. We have tried a lot of options to manage this situation. These jumbo mats are far and away the best solution we have ever used. The jumbo mats are a very good size...I actually use several together around the cat's litter box. This catches almost all the litter that would normally be tracked around the house. The mats have a perforated top layer that lets the litter drop to the solid bottom layer. This catches the litter and prevents it from bouncing off the mat onto the floor. You can lift the top perforated layer (top and bottom are attached on one edge) and shake off or vacuum up the litter on the solid bottom layer. They are easy to rinse off periodically. The mat material is gentle on our cats' paws." —Pamela

Promising review: "I love this bowl. Our cat Batman weighed over 27 pounds. Since buying this bowl, he has lost almost 5 pounds. Our other cat Star is a fast eater and then gets sick afterwards, since using this bowl, it has really helped her with that issue. I highly recommend this bowl if your pet eats fast or weighs too much." —Teresa Zimmerman

Promising review: "I was noticing that there was a lot of cat vomit after my cats would eat. I did some research and found out that it's hard for a cat to properly digest their food when they are hunched over and eating off the ground. That day I went on to Amazon to find an alternate solution....and I found these! They have worked so well. My cats seem to be more comfortable when they eat and I have not noticed any vomit (besides the every so often hairballs.) The bowls hold a decent amount of food — not a whole lot of water but you should be changing that everyday anyways. I was looking at more expensive bowls, but just could not justify spending the money when there were some for a lesser price range. I absolutely recommend these!" —J.W.

Promising review: "I got this treat dispenser before going on a two-week vacation. My cats love it. I could see them perfectly from thousands of miles away, day or night. I could listen to them and speak through it to them. No connection issues. I practiced with them before I left, and they knew to come running when they heard the sound the machine makes before shooting out a treat. I use it all the time now and the cats even sit near it waiting for something to happen. Great product." —Gail C

Promising review: "I have seven cats, a few with long hair and a few with medium and a few with short hair. I trimmed the three with long/medium hair and omg this vacuum is awesome. I had to empty a lot but it’s summertime and my cats are shedding like wild and getting dreadlocks. This vacuum is amazing and super user friendly . I did the trimming/cutting and my kiddos helped hold the cats. They didn't freak out because the noise is very minimal. Worth every penny." —Oswald

Promising review: "I noticed when my cat plays he does it physically for about three mins and then lays down, but if I try to stop making the toys move, he's back up meowing for me to make them move again. This solves that problem SO well. The minute it comes on he's on it and having the time of his life, then when he starts to get over it, he perches somewhere and just watches it continue to dance for him lol. I finally get some peace when I don't have the time to actually play with him. It's literally perfect." —Jessica

Promising reviews: "I bought these to replace some complicated child locks on the kitchen cupboards. My cat Timothy, like other cats, is evolving towards world domination and can opener operation. In the meantime he’s learnt to open the cupboards and heads straight for the Rice Krispies. These locks are easy to use and keep his paws out of the treats and people foods." —ForeverSummer

Promising review: "My cats are terrified of water so it’s always stressful to bathe them. This waterless shampoo worked amazing! They were so calm and allowed me to clean them. It smells fresh and leaves my cat looking refreshed! It’s also great for dirty paws. I highly recommend for all cat owners!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "My cats generally despise getting their claws clipped but this cutter's clipper style definitely keeps you from overclipping kitty's claws and saves on having a mad, vindictive cat on you hands from that overclipping mistake you made! 😂 Easy to handle, easy to use, plus no mad cat on your hands and less shredded home interior items = WIN!" —Mel&I

Promising review: "I have been using Frontline Plus on my indoor/outdoor cat for three years. If I miss a month during the summer or fall the ticks soon show up.
