What Is The Product Made Of?
I want to buy a quality item for my cat that will not harm them. If you purchase cat toys, make sure there are no parts that can be chewed off so that your cat cannot ingest them. Some cats have had bowel blockage or suffocated to death on some cat toys, such as eyes, tails, or ears that they have swallowed. If the product is not a brand-name item, I generally do not buy it because I do not know what it is filled with that may be poisonous to my cat if the cat toy falls apart.
Cat Beds
When buying a cat bed, ensure that it is stuffed with the right materials, as I once saw one that had attic insulation in it. Some cat beds have been recalled due to problems with the materials used in their construction, such as the fabric containing harmful chemicals.
Cat Trees
I like the solid wood cat trees as they hold up longer. Ensure that your cat tree can be attached to the wall to prevent it from tipping over and injuring your cat. Never buy a cat tree that will not support the weight of your cats, as they will generally say how heavy a cat can lounge or sleep in it safely. Some cat trees have a powerful smell of carpet glue, so let them air out in another room before you let your cat use them. The cheaper cat trees do not support the top perches for long, as they tend to fall off.
Heated Cat Beds
Do not cut corners on a cheap heated cat bed, as it could catch on fire or wear out quickly. My favorite brand is K@H products, heated cat beds, and windowsill perches. I have one that is still going strong after 10 years of use, and another one just wore out after eight years of use. My cats love them in the cold winter months, as they are getting older, and it feels good on their joints.
Cat Food
I have fed my cats Purina cat food for years, and it is a good-quality cat food. I do not like cat foods that have fillers or byproducts or a high ash content, as these are bad for your cat’s lifespan. Hartz Delaectables Squese Ups have no byproducts and are made from salmon, chicken, or tuna, shrimp, and vegetables. Pumpkin cat food is suitable for a cat if they happen to get diarrhea. I like Natural cat treats and not the moist ones that sometimes have a high ash content.
Cat Litter
Never buy cat litter that is perfumed or has an air freshener scent. A cat can get very sick from using this kind of kitty litter and may also stop using their litterbox altogether. When they lick their paws, they ingest those chemicals into their body and develop diarrhea or get short of breath, and some cats have died from using perfumed litters. If you have doubts about any product you intend to buy for your cat, research it online and see if it has been recalled or harmed a cat in any way. Better to be safe than sorry than lose your Dear feline friend.
