Every Cat needs a Cat Tree

Cat tree corner scratching sisal platform stable best for casper ragdoll

Cats feel safe and secure when the are resting on a height. They just love to sleep in a high cat tree.

Every cat needs a cat tree and because of the height we bought the Catherine Corner Cat tree, available here:

We think this cat tree is a charming, space-saving tree with lots of places where your cat can hide away or chill out, as well as plenty of sisal-covered areas for when your cat wants to sharpen its claws.

This cat tree is suitable for cats weighing up to 6kg.

Casper loves to snooze on the plush covered platform, right at the top of the tree.

The front of the den is covered in sisal and provides another area where your cat can indulge its natural, claw sharpening instincts without ruining your furniture.

And dangling from the platforms are two cute little plush toys.

Perfect when your cat is feeling playful.

A great alternative for cat and cat owners living in the USA is the Amazon Basics Cat Tree with Condo, Scratching Post.

This large and tall cat tree with nice scratching posts resembles a lot on the one we have and is because of the similarities strongly recommended.

Ideally also if you have more than one cat, because of the multi-platforms.

The scratching posts will help to keep your cat from damaging carpets, furniture, curtains, and more.

I especially like the neutral color tones because just like the previous cat tree fit perfectly in with our home’s existing décor.

If you like our choice for cat trees as well as we do, I would be very thankful if you could the links on this site for your purchases. The small commission we receive will help us keep and support our informational cat website.

A Litter Box: we use the Litter Robot

As most cat owners know, cats are very clean animals. That is why it is important to keep a clean litter box. A cat’s sense of smell is many times stronger than ours, that’s why a dirty litter box is one of the top reasons why cats stop using a litter box. This means that scooping regularly (twice a day). If you don’t like scooping or you want to get this scooping automated, the litter robot may be a good solution for you and your kitty.

That is why we use at this moment the Litter Robot III Open Air.

The Litter-Robot is an automatic self-cleaning litter box. After that the cat has visited the globe, containing the litter, to do their business, the rotating sifting system automatically separates waste from clean litter, so you never have to scoop litter again!

The Litter-Robot is equipped with a Cat sensor, a weight-sensitive switch that detects when a cat enters and exits the globe. When the cat enters the globe, the cat sensor will get activated.

Once the cat exits the globe, a count-down to the rotating cleaning cycle will start. This delay will allow the clumps in the clumping litter to form clumps and to set.

After that, the sifting system cycles automatically and will separate the clumpes and dump then in the drawer below the globe.

A drinking fountain

Keeping your cat well hydrated is an important part of a healthy cat lifestyle. Having a constant supply of fresh water is vital for our kitties. That is why we choose to use a cat water fountain.

Cats prefer to drink from running water, so they drink more often which makes it healthier, safer, and more practical option than a traditional water bowl.

Until now we have been using two models of cat water fountains. Both are very good ones, let me show you both models below.

The Catit Flower Drinking Fountain for Cats

The first model we bought for our two ragdoll cats is the Catit Flower drinking fountain. And we were very happy with this drinking fountain because it entices our cats to drink regularly and more.

After more than one year of using it, we made a review to share our honest findings and benefits of the Catit Flower Drinking Fountain : Click here for full review & review video

The Cat Mate Fountain (100 Oz – 3 liters)

This Cat Mate model is our second model we have been using and in our honest opinion this is a perfect one.

This fountain provides a great source of filtered, fresh water throughout the day, so our cats can sip away at their leisure. This 3 litre shell fountain, has two drinking levels, a very compact design and comes with a minimum water level warning sound.

The super quiet motor operation means you won’t have to endure any buzzing or humming sounds whilst the fountain is in operation. We have to confirm that this characteristic is its strongest benefit when comparing with the first model: the quietness of the fountain. You can hardly hear the vibration of the waterpump.

Walking harness for cats

Have you ever been outside with your cat walking on a leash? It is one of the most perplexing but delightful sights you will see. I started walking Casper when he was a kitten, because I believe that every cat should be given the chance to step its paw out into nature. And Casper really enjoys walking so much. It is a pleasure to walk him but we must do it safely, and there a good walking harness comes in.

There are plenty of good models on the market. I will show you the one I think is very safe, easy to use, escape-proof and makes it comfortable for the cat as well.

Trixie Cat Harness with Lead

We use this nylon harness with a neck and chest part. It is fully adjustable and with the snap buckles it is very easy to get on and off. These types of harnesses are a lot safer for the cat than just the neck collar.

If you are interested to use such a harness, we advice you to watch the cat harness training video explaining our practical steps we took to getting our cats used to wearing a harness: WALKING your cat – Getting used to the HARNESS and LEASH

A clicker to Clicker train your cats

As you have noticed on the pages Tutorial to our clicker training for cats we have been training Casper and Binx with a clicker to let them know when they are show good behaviour.

Clicker training for cats is magical and it is not hard to do at all.

It requires little or no equipment and just some investment of your time.

Here are some great clickers :

The Cat Clicker combined with target stick

The Cat Clicker for positive behaviour reinforcement

Are you new to Cat Clicker Training? Watch Binx when I he learns to ring a bell using clicker training. So funny to watch that enthusiasm.
