Cat Supplies

Creating Cozy Spots for Your Fur Baby

Cats love to have a safe, quiet spot they can claim as their own. Consider providing your cat a comfortable, relaxing space with a cat bed. When deciding where to put your new cat bed, look for a spot that isn’t drafty or too close to radiators or heating vents. The best locations for cat beds are warm but not hot. Check out the dimensions and weight limits for the beds available to ensure that you get one that is ideally sized for your pet. You can also compare materials, colors and care instructions when choosing a cat bed.

Purr-fect Nutrition for Your Cat

Just like you, your kitty requires good nutrition every day to remain in the best of health. Cats need more than 12 nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids. Feeding your cat with foods designed specifically for them can help to lower the risk of nutritional deficiencies. Dry food is an inexpensive option that is simple to serve. Canned foods contain more moisture and are often a better pick for finicky eaters and cats with urinary problems. Although not essential for a cat's diet, cat treats let you give your kitty something tasty to munch on between meals. They can also be used as a reward.

Solutions for the Litter Box

Cat litter is an important and basic pet supply. Cleaning the litter box is no pet owner's favorite task, but it's important to remove waste daily. A dirty litter box could lead your cat to do their business elsewhere. Kitty litter scoops can make it easier to retrieve waste for disposal. Using a scoopable litter further simplifies the process. With finer grains, this litter allows clumps to form more readily for faster retrieval. Pellet and crystal-based litters can also simplify cleanup and may help to reduce odors. Some cats prefer one litter over another, so you may need to experiment with different products to find one that’s suitable for your cat.

Keeping Your Kitty Stimulated and Active

Because they are naturally curious creatures, cats benefit greatly from play. Giving your feline cat toys to chase, stalk, bat and pounce on also allows them to get exercise. Regular play may even help curb common unwanted behaviors. Walgreens PetShoppe products include a diverse assortment of cat toys. You can choose options with bells and pleasing textures to encourage your kitty to play on their own. You can also purchase laser pointers and other toys that allow you to join in on the fun.
