③ Cat litter box:
is mainly divided into three types: open, semi-enclosed, and fully enclosed. Among the three types, cats prefer open because they fit more in the wild, but compared to the type, cats prefer large and clean cat litter box.

A good cat food is very important, especially the recent cat food crash. There is no recommendation for cat food brands here, but only hard-core teaching you how to choose: what cat food really needs is.

Nowadays, there are generally several types of: tofu sand, bentonite (including ore sand), crystal cat litter, paper sand, and mixed sand (mixed tofu and bentonite). The most people use tofu sand and bentonite.

② Cat toys:
Cat toys can effectively enhance feelings and avoid many cats' wrong behaviors (such as biting hands and feet). Cat toys have a variety of cats, but choosing a cat stick is the least likely to overturn, and it is the most practical, with many styles. I recommend a wire cat stick, which is cheap and durable, and cats love it too much. The most important thing is that it is a must-have for lazy people.
③ Cat scratching board:
It is a cat's nature to sharpen claws. If you don't want cats to scratch furniture, it's best to buy a few more cat scratching boards. (Of course, it is also possible that you will still be able to grab furniture. You need to be careful with raising cats. If you keep them, you must be tolerant and don’t swear)

This is not to let you keep a cat in a cage, but when you need to give the cat a small space. For example, when the cat first arrives home, it is best to keep it for a few days to allow the cat to adapt. You can also use a cage when cleaning your home. When cats are sterilized, they keep in a cage, etc.
⑧ Shower gel:
Taking a cat out to bathe can easily cause cats to be stressed, and severe stress can cause sudden death. Therefore, every owner must learn how to bathe the cat: 6 major steps to make the cat fall in love with the bathing, and save another amount of money. When choosing shower gel, it is best not to choose one that is too cheap, and check out the reviews more.

Products to improve happiness

Cats like to climb high and like to overlook the territory from a high place. A high cat climbing frame can enhance the cat's sense of happiness and also give cats a sense of security.
② Pheromone:
A pheromone that allows cats to relax, effectively relieve cats' emotions, can be used for moving, going out, and when family relationships with multiple cats are tense.
③ Cat nest:
I see many people saying that cat nests are useless products, but look at cats, my cat likes cat nests quite a bit, but they like open-ended cat nests with a certain depth, soft and comfortable cat nests. You can buy one and try it. If the cat doesn't like it, just take it and sit it yourself, and it won't be wasted.
By the way, cats also like express boxes very much and can be used as cat nests.
④ Various snacks:
canned food, cat strips, freeze-dried meat, etc. Snacks can make cats feel very happy! However, although snacks are good, don’t give them too much, as they will be picky.

Some parents are afraid that cats will catch people when taking a bath, so they want to use cat wash bags, but it is really useless. In addition to hurting people by mistake, it will further aggravate cats' fear, resist fiercely, and aggravate stress.
③ Traction leash: Discard the idea of walking the cat as soon as possible, most cats cannot walk it.
④ Collar:
Domestic cats with collars are of no use except cuteness. In addition to causing the neck to become bald, there is also a risk that the collar will be hooked somewhere and then causing the cat to suffocate.
⑤ Strange cat toys: Like a cat massager, it will only make cats scared. Wouldn’t it be nice to massage the cat with your hands?
