Question of the Day - Tuesday, June 13

Greetings TSC members! Happy Tuesday!





Except for essentials, what was the best or most useful thing you ever bought for your cat?



It was actually a gift, but a laser pointer. Goodness they all love that thing (Used responsibly, of course!)

A custom cat tree that we bought for a great price at a pet store's clearance sale.

I'm not sure if it counts as an "essential" - but upgrading from a plastic litter scoop to a metal one was life changing.

I think his favorite thing would be the raised cot bed I purchased originally for the dog, but that he has now claimed as his.

A $19 double decker cardboard cat house that I bought the girls last year. It was wobbly and they never used it but it had large scratch pads on both levels. I tossed the house and use one of the pads in a homemade frame. Lola loves it and uses it every day for stretching and scratching. When it wears out I have the other for replacement.

The best thing I brought my cats was a pair of steps so they could get up on the bed easier. They love it.

probably freeze dried cat treats which helped me alot in training her to not run out open doors along with playing gently gradually changed the reward to extended play any time she initiates play in a gentle way

hair ties! useful for the both of us, and super fun for playtime before going to sleep

 

[MoochNNoodles]

The cat tree. I got it on ebay back when it was big money for us. Mooch can only climb it with steps now but sometimes she does. Other times she sleeps in a doll bed on the bottom level.

Both girls loved it for bird watching and general catty shenanigans. Then when the kids came along it gave them a safe, out of reach place.

DH wanted to get rid of it since Mooch doesn’t climb it; but I can’t bring myself to do that.

Cat tree, at least for Phoebe. For Daisy really couldn’t say, she much prefers my stuff.

Please make sure he doesn’t eat them. I have assisted in many surgeries to remove hair ties from cats.

The catnip banana. She bites it, kicks it, rubs her face on it and licks it. It's her favorite solo toy.
