Pets are an important part of our families. They bring love, independence and charm to our houses. They comfort us and help us bond. They increase our abilities to understand different emotions no matter which species they belong to.
Getting a pet home is a huge decision and doing everything right by them is usually tough. Their needs, wants and way of communication are very different compared to humans. It is often confusing to decide what’s the best for them.
In this blog, we are going to talk about cats and some products you MUST have at home for them. So that they can enjoy a playful, clean, healthy, comfortable and exciting life.
1. Cat Litter and Litter Box: 
Maintaining your cat's hygiene requires a quality cat litter and a suitable litter box. Options include clumping, non-clumping, scented, and unscented litters, so choose based on your cat's preferences and household needs.
Ideally, you want to choose a litter that clumps well and produces less dust. Less dust inhalation can prevent a multitude of respiratory infections. You can also check out our range of cat litters on https://www.orangepet.in/collections/cat-litter
If you have a multi cat household, you might need multiple litter boxes. Every cat needs a separate litter box and sometimes extra. You should have litter boxes equal to the number of cats you have + 1 extra. So, if you have 2 cats, you need 3 litter boxes. The type of litter box you choose should depend on your lifestyle and your cat’s preferences. Many cats don’t prefer closed litter boxes. However, that is something that you may not be able to figure out in the beginning.
2. Cat Scratching Post: 
Fulfill your cat's natural instinct to scratch while safeguarding your furniture by providing a sturdy and tall scratching post. Opt for one that allows your cat to comfortably stretch and scratch. Some scratching posts also include multiple levels and seating areas for cats that cats seem to enjoy.
3. Cat Toys: 
Keep your cat mentally stimulated and physically active with essential toys. Wand toys, puzzle toys, and treat-dispensing toys are great for engaging your cat's hunting instincts and providing entertainment. These toys also help us keep our cats active which in turn helps us maintain their health and fitness. You can rotate between these toys.
4. Cat Bed:
Provide your cats with a cozy spot to rest and relax with a comfortable cat bed. Cats appreciate having a designated space that is soft, washable, and suitable for their size.
5. Cat Carrier:
Ensure safe transportation to the veterinarian or during travel with a crucial cat carrier. Choose a well-ventilated, secure, and easy-to-clean carrier that offers enough room for your cat to turn around and lie down comfortably. Train your cats to sit in these carriers so that when you actually need them to sit, they don’t panic.
We hope this list helps you with all the essentials your cat needs except food. Thank you!
