Cat Care 2013 By Jonathan Berman

I just wanted to share what I think are the best quality and convenience cat related products with other cat lovers.  I am not affiliated with any of these manufacturers in any way.  I included retail price for you. (Taken from Amazon unless other wise noted)

I'm sure everyone has their own favorites, these are just mine after trying sooo many different types over the years... I hope this helps cat lovers everywhere.

1.  Cat Food

 (Cats need wet food and not so much dry is because cats get moisture from the food they eat, and dry food has very little, which can lead to dehydration and other health issues... this is because cats do not have the same thirst instinct humans have, now I keep clean water inside AND outside for the cats, but this is a important thing to remember.

Now I know they say not to feed cats dry food, because most people give their cats junk, read those ingredients, a lot of fillers, and by products, and all their commercials say how much they love you and your pets, they're lying, it's junk... IAMs, Purina, so much junk out there.. so here are fantastic dry cat foods, and I mix them all together in my airtight container and my cats love them.

Dry:

Orijen Regional Poultry and Fish Grain-Free Dry Cat & Kitten Food, 15lb $59.99

Now this food is so expensive which is why I have the airtight container and I blend the bags so they last much longer, but they're all very good foods.

Natural Balance Dry Cat Food, Ultra Premium Formula, 15 Pound Bag $33.39

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Grain Free Dry Cat Food, Chicken Recipe, 12-Pound Bag $35.99

(For Kitten: Hill's Science Diet Kitten Healthy Development Original Dry Cat Food, 15.5-Pound Bag) $42.99

Wet:

Wellness Canned Cat Food, Beef and Chicken Recipe, 24-Pack of 3-Ounce Cans

Natural Balance Canned Cat Food, Ultra Formula, 24 x 3 Ounce Pack

Treats:

Halo Liv-a-Littles Natural Treats for Dogs and Cats, Freeze-Dried Chicken Breast Protein, 2.2-Ounce

My cats favorite cat treats!

Food Containment:

Gamma Vittles Vault Airtight SoftStore Pet Food Storage Container $42

Friends complain about stale, scentlost, earwig ridden cat food... this sealing bag takes care of all that, keeping your pet food fresh, and wonderful, saving you lots of money and mess!

Catfood Bowls:

Wet

Ethical Pet Footed Dish Green Cat 5-Inch Pet Dish $4.97

I buy one in each color so each kitty gets their own dish.  They love em.

Dry

Hepper NomNom Cat Bowl Orange $39 (Not Amazon)

Best cat food bowl as it comes with a crumb catcher, and face it, cats aren't using utensils, so stuff falls... this thing is easy to clean, and my cats love it.

Water

Drinkwell 360 Pet Fountain, Stainless Steel $62.89

The best water service for cats I've ever used... other electrics get moldy and gross quickly, or are loud and break.  Non electrics you have to change the water daily to avoid bacteria from standing water... this stainless gets dirty slower, easy to clean, comes with nice filters for the motor, the carbon refill you can buy cheap in quantity, using a replacement filter that is perfection.

2.  Scratching Surfaces, Beds and Things...

I recommend getting window seats, and cat condos, of your choice, my cats really love these ones:

K&H Thermo-Kitty Heated Cat Bed, 20-Inch, Mocha $48.75

My cats all love this bed, it comes in a ton of colors.

SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post $45.49

I've on my second one in 3 years, with 3 cats, they love it, I keep it near the door so when they come inside they go right to it.

SmartCat Multi-Level Cat Climber $46.22

Now this gets some bad reviews, but I've had it on my bedroom door a year and my cats really love it.  I can feed them on it without being bothered by the dogs, and if they're not using it, it makes a great multi shelf for my keys, wallet, etc... stuff I need on the way out.

3. Treats!

Sojos Certified Organic Catnip $8.08

All my cats love this catnip, and they only need a pinch, I also like it's organic and comes in a tin instead of a bag.

4. Toys!

Suck UK Cat Scratch $27.20

Kitty loves being a DJ though I think this is overpriced.

Bergan Catnip Hurricane Cat Toy $19.99

Double the fun!

5. Cleanup and Litter and Odor Control

Wee Cleaner - Pet Urine Odor Remover for Cat and Dog Urine (1-gallon bottle) $29.99

This is the only, and the best stuff for cleaning your environment of the smell of cat pee... like one of my cats tends to pee in all the wrong places, territorial issues... we're working on it ;)

Arm and Hammer Super Scoop Clumping Cat Litter, Unscented, 28 Pound Box $14.99

Cat's Pride Fresh and Light Fragrance Free Premium Clumping Cat Litter Box, 21-Pound $37.66

Duranimals DuraScoop Cat Litter Scoop (colors may vary) $10.19

Hands down the best cat litter scooper I've ever owned.  Thing is durable, made of stainless steel with a nice strong comfortable handle.

Odor Exterminator Candle Clothesline Fresh 13oz $13.00

These candles come in many scents and are not ordinary masking candles, but odor and bacteria attracting destroyers, they really work.

OZIUM AIR SANITIZER 3.5 OZ BY MEDO (OZM-1) ORIGINAL SCENT $8.99
