27 Products To Prove That Having A Cat Does *Not* Have To Mess With Your Home’s Aesthetic
If you’re tired of ugly cat trees and boring, gray litter mats, you’ve come to the right place.
1. A natural sisal fiber scratch pad inspired by some of art history’s most iconic pieces — with some added purr-sonality, of course. These shed-resistant scratching pads can be attached super easily to any flat surface (including the sides of your couch) so you can place it right on the thing your cat loves to scratch most.
Promising review: “I got this scratching mat for my two cats, Ollie and Leo, and they absolutely love it! The design is beautiful and looks great in my home — such a nice change from typical cat products. It’s sturdy, well-made, and perfect for scratching. As soon as I put it up, they started using it right away. Highly recommend for anyone with cats who wants something functional and stylish!” —Sung M. Woo
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in eight styles).
2. A multifunctional enclosure so modern-farmhouse, it could bring a tear to Joanna Gaines’ eye. This bad boy has a built-in scratch pad and room for a fully hidden litter box, so if you have a nosy dog who takes a (ahem) strong interest in your cat’s bathroom habits, this is going to be a very stylish game changer. Oh, and it’s going to help trap any of those gross litter odors, too.
PSST…There’s a ~secret entrance~ in the very back of the enclosure’s open compartment where your cat can come and go as they please. No dogs allowed!
Promising review: “We have three very curious dogs who like to raid the litter box whatever they can. This has put a stop to that. For those of you who are having problems finding a litter box that fits, I suggest the Petmate jumbo litter box. It fits perfectly!” —Musicalelizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in five colors and three sizes).
3. A litter scooping kit shaped like a cactus so it can blend in with your houseplants instead of being a total eyesore weirdly hanging off the side of the litter box. See the “planter”? That’s the storage container where you can put the scooper AND a roll of trash bags inside. No more stuffing the bathroom cabinets with a hoard of hole-ridden Target bags!
Promising review: “My friend has cats so I gave this to her. She cannot stop talking about how convenient it is. She love the colors. Love how compact it is. Love how firm the grip is. And it’s easy to store.” —Fiona Moody
Get a kit from Amazon for $19.99.
4. An elevated wicker bed that will fit right in with all your bohemian decor. The loose weave fabric allows for optimal air circulation, so your baby won’t overheat during their naps. Fair warning, though: Once you get this, it’ll probably only be a few days before you’re on the hunt for a human-sized chair to match.
Promising review: “My cat loves this bed! I was looking for an aesthetically pleasing cat bed and this was perfect! It’s matches our decor while looking classy while still being comfy for my cat. I’ve had it for almost a year now and it’s still in perfect condition.” —Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $76.49 (available in two colors).
5. A floor-to-ceiling mushroom-themed cat tree with scratching posts that go all the way up the top! This tree maximizes your space with its vertical design, and it’s simply radiating fairycore vibes. 🧚‍♂️ Just a heads up, though: If you do get this, your cat may spontaneously sprout wings and start bestowing magical charms and curses at their will. So…just be prepared.
Since coming across this tree, I haven’t stopped singing 🎵 mUshRoOm cAt TrEe 🎵 to the tune of Benson Boone’s “Mystical, Magical” for like 32 hours straight. I don’t even know the other words to that song. I thought it was called “Moonbeam Ice Cream” until just now. Someone send help.
Promising review: “I’m not one to leave reviews on Amazon, but honestly, I LOVE this cat tree! It matches my room’s aesthetic, and my fur baby absolutely loves it too! While I was building it, she hopped right into the smaller hammock on the bottom and hung out (albeit making moving it a bit harder, but that’s what cats do lol). Pretty easy to set up and with no issue on reaching my ceiling to lock it in place.” —Mindy Valerioti
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (mushroom style available in two heights; also available in nine other styles and four total heights).
6. A litter box going undercover as a potted plant, so even if you can’t spare the space to stash your cat’s bathroom somewhere more private, you don’t have to advertise the fact that there’s a literal poo container in your living room.
PSA: The “base kit” includes the bottom and top planter pieces, the carbon-infused odor filter, real florist moss, and a faux palm plant. The “essentials kit” includes all that and a removable litter tray that fits perfectly, so that’s definitely worth checking out.
Good Pet Stuff Co. is a small business specializing in high-quality, unique pet products such as hidden litter boxes and dog travel seats. Their products are made in Kansas.
Promising review: “Could not be happier with this. I cannot stand the look of an open litter box. Previously, I took the doors off my bathroom vanity and sewed fabric into a curtain and hung that on a tension rod to hide the litter pan in. The way the pipes were set under the vanity in my new apartment made it so my cat didn’t have enough room to do his business with that setup anymore has taken to peeing in the shower, random spots.. This solved the space problem and looks pretty. Nobody would know it’s a litter box!” —Dani
Get it from Amazon for $69.95 (available in two shapes and seven colors; also available without a litter tray).
7. Or an adorably goofy litter mat that’ll let everyone know *exactly* what’s going on here. If your cat is already going to announce that they’re done pooping with the world’s loudest, most prolonged episode of litter kicking…you might as well just lean into it.
Promising review: “I repurchased this litter mat after my apartment building caught on fire because I didn’t want to go without it. It is so stinking cute and colorful and high quality! It’s a little smaller than what we need, but it is true to the listing. It’s no issue when paired with a larger mat. It’s super easy to use, soft enough for my cats’ feet but coarse enough to collect the litter from their tracking tendencies. It’s a little pricey for the size, but it is honestly well worth it for how cute it is.” —Emily Tompkins
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in nine styles).
8. An absorbent, vegan leather food mat with a checker print design for all you maximalists out there. This mat is both anti-slip and anti-boring. Plus, you can easily wipe it clean if you’re the parent of a furball whose meal times often involve more spilling than eating.
Promising review: “I’m going through a checkered phase. I saw this and immediately bought it to put under my cat’s food and water. The material is thick and sturdy and I LOVE the print. Super easy to clean too.” —ashinginyourcoffee
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in eight colors and two sizes).
9. A strawberry-themed ceramic bowl sporting a raised, tilted design to help prevent whisker fatigue and neck strain, all while being VERY pretty (not all pet dishes can say that, full shade). While this particular bowl shape is designed for flat-faced cuties and young kittens, it can definitely be enjoyed by other types of cats, too.
Promising review: “I recently changed my cat’s food bowl to this one because she wasn’t eating out of her old bowl. This has helped her appetite significantly as she no longer experiences whisker fatigue. The strawberry design is super cute too — exactly as shown in the photo.” —Jane Kim
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in three fruit styles).
10. A ceramic water fountain that could actually pass as a tiny water feature. I mean, look at this thing. It’s beautiful, quiet, easy to clean, and (most importantly) beloved by reviewers’ cats!
Promising review: “I will NEVER go back to plastic water fountains. This fountain is sturdy and beautiful. The best part? Being able to put the ceramic pieces in the dishwasher. I could never get plastic clean and always worried about mold and contamination. This fountain is quiet, stays cleaner longer, and my cats love it.” —Yvonne Neilson
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in five colors; extra filters also available for $9.99).
11. An itty-bitty beach chair so you can give your furry BFF (or any stray BFFs-to-be) a relaxing staycation with this set that’ll fit right in with the rest of your patio furniture.
Promising review: “Not one to leave reviews but had to come here to say if you’re looking for something cute, modern, and fun, this is it! My cats can now have a pool day with me! Within minutes, we had our first lounger and he loved it. Then there was a fight over the chair…so we have now ordered 2 more for the rest of the loungers lol. Well worth the laughs and purchase! And it’s so fun and cute! Seems like good quality for its price.” —Pickles25
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors; also available in a bundle with a palm tree scratcher).
12. A set of litter mats cleverly disguised as patterned rugs (shh…I won’t tell 🤫). These “rugs” have a grippy, nonslip backing and are leak-proof, so those occasional wet poops that cats just LoOoOoOve to take right in front of the litter box won’t seep through (ew ew ew) to the floor. And yes, they’re also machine washable — so there’s literally zero reason not to upgrade your totally blegh silicone mat.
Promising review: “I really love the look. The larger size is helpful since I have two large litter boxes, with plenty of room extending in front so that any trailing litter on their paws falls off onto the mat before they reach the floor. I am so thankful that they came with two in the package so I can throw one in the washing machine while the other is in use. They wash nicely. It pretty much stays in place, although it is rather lightweight, so it can bunch up a bit when sweeping, but that is a very minor issue for me. I have a lightweight stand-up vacuum in the room that works well on it too. I threw out the rubbery litter-trapping mats that I used to use that were impossible to keep clean. I’ve been using these for about a month and hope they last a while.” —Antonia B
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $28.99 (available in three colors).
13. A rustic cat grass planter to add some more greenery to your space while giving your pet a safe alternative to sneaking bites of your precious houseplants. This kit comes with everything you need to get some grass growing — a wooden planter, three soil disks, and some locally sourced seeds.
The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic, nontoxic products for other passionate cat owners.
FYI, when you run out of grass (not if — your cat will be obsessed, and you’ll need more), you can get a refill kit with more soil disks and seeds for $11.99.
Promising review: “LOVE this grass and so does my kitty! Beautiful, healthy, thick green grass grows in a couple of days, so much better than other cat grasses I’ve bought. Planter is stylish, and the soil pods are so easy to use. Helps my kitty with digestive issues. So pleased. Will only buy this grass from now on.” —Nicole H.
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three planter colors).
14. A *huge* rustic cat tree that’s got alllllll the amenities: plush seating, a hammock, a burrowing cubby, a place for a hidden litter box, and a play garden with a faux tree attachment. If you’re trying to find a multi-cat-approved tree that won’t ruin your living room’s vibe with a bunch of crusty, pilling fabric, this is SO worth the splurge.
Promising review: “Love this! It looks great with decor in my home, and my cat loves it too. Only thing I would add is some kind of gripping material for the tops of the wood pieces as they are a little slippery, def don’t dust with Pledge 🤣. Also pay very close attention to assembly directions and the finished edges on the wood, as we had to take apart the first/bottom section three times to reset a piece…otherwise it’s GREAT!” —Harley Barnett
Get it from Amazon for $159.99.
15. Or a modern cat tree sturdy enough for even the chunkiest cats with its 23-pound capacity — and the machine-washable cushions make it suitable for the stinkiest ones, too. It’s made from *actual* tree branches, so each piece is completely one-of-a-kind. You’re gonna want to add this beauty to your cart if you suspect Jay Catsby is secretly watching celebrity home tours when you’re away at work. (I know that Dakota Johnson Architectural Digest video wasn’t in my YouTube history when I left this morning…)
Mau, Jenae Sitzes / Buzzfeed
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has their Ivy 3 cat tree and adores it: “I was ready to invest in a tree that was high quality, attractive, and a bit simpler, offering the main features my adult cats really care about: baskets for napping in and scratching posts they can claw up. After extensive market research, I realized Mau had everything I was looking for: the quality and durability, the chic modern look, and the option to replace parts that my cats will inevitably wear down with time. Also, you can purchase the cushions and pom-pom balls for your tower in different colors, with some really gorgeous shade options yet! I definitely plan on making this upgrade for my tree soon.”
Get the Cento tree (pictured left) from Amazon for $299 (available in three colors) and see select other cat trees on their Amazon storefront. And check out their full website for even more options, including the Ivy 3 tree (pictured right) for $329 (available in two colors).
16. A hanging window perch made out of solid pine wood with thick cotton ropes that’ll suction right to your kitty’s favorite bird-watching or sunbathing spot. Unlike other perches, this isn’t a piece of flimsy plastic that looks like you hot-glued a takeout container to your window.
Promising review: “This might be the best cat product I’ve ever purchased. It works incredibly well and it’s adorable. I was worried that adding a cat bed to our bedroom window would make my cats happy but totally ruin our decor, but if anything this makes it cuter. Just a complete home run. It’s super sturdy too, I feel like I could sit there and would be OK! Worth every penny.” —soledad liquori
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
17. A fruit-shaped scratcher so pretty that you just might need two: one that Kitty can maim freely, and another one just to keep around as decor. The two-cherry version of this scratcher even has a little bed in the top leaf, in case you’ve got a lazy baby on your hands.
Promising review: “I am one who enjoys spoiling my cats, and this fun orange was no exception. My kitten loves to scratch, jump on top of the orange, push it across the room, and tries to get the stem to come off. It is definitely a fun scratcher for the cats to enjoy.” —Sophia
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in four shapes).
18. A pack of catnip-filled, sleekly designed black and white toy fish because if your cat’s playthings are just going to end up scattered around your house anyway, they might as well be beautiful. Byeeee, rainbow springs on the living room floor — you won’t be missed!
Amazon
These toys also have a crinkly paper filling, silver bells, and pom attachments for added fun. Your cat won’t even miss their chewed-up foam ball.
Promising review: “Perfect to place in little nooks and crannies for cats to discover and bat around or carry in their mouth. Satisfaction for the pom lover and the gnawing of felt. Solid design and squeaks less. Good value.” —d. sciarro
Get them from Amazon for $13.
19. A bright and bold ceramic food bowl so your spoiled little angel can eat in style. Oh, and Le Creuset just called — they’re taking notes on this design.
Promising review: “The cutest cat bowls ever! The quality is good, and they’re adorable in my room. Plus, they are heavy enough that my cat can’t knock them over. Would definitely purchase these again.” —Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors and a set of two).
20. A handcrafted, Scandi-inspired cat cabin featuring a staircase, porch lights, and two entire floors — so yeah, your cat definitely will be curious about it! And TBH, I’m curious about it, too. Can we get an Airbnb listing for this thing?
Seventeen Design / Etsy
Seventeen Design is located in Ankara, Turkey, and each piece is carefully crafted by woodworker Birol Babacan.
Promising review: “Absolutely outstanding customer service, and the cat house is so amazing! Took me less than an hour to put together, and it was fun putting it together, lol. My kitty loves it! I’ll definitely be back to order more. Thank you!” —Michelle
Get it from Seventeen Design on Etsy for 118.25+ (available with or without cushions).
21. A rattan litter box enclosure that’ll have your friends asking, “Wait, where’s the cat box?” when they enter your studio apartment. Yup, it’s litter-ally that cute and compact.
This product has a litter-trapping mat inside the box, but if your cat is prone to kickboxing the litter every time they go to the bathroom, you may still want to use a mat outside the box to catch any spills.
Promising review: “This item is wonderful! Does a great job of hiding a cat box. We turned it around and had it facing the corner of the room diagonally so that our medium-sized dogs can’t get to it, but our cat can. It’s worked out perfectly! The weight of the litter inside the inner cat tub weighs down the outer structure to prevent our dogs from moving it. This piece of furniture is aesthetically pleasing, also. Made well!” —Poulos58
Get it from Amazon for $60.99+ (available in four colors).
22. A litter mat shaped like a retro TV because, and I’m gonna hold your paw when I say this, litter tracking is always going to be a problem. But with a mat like this, at least it’ll be a *pretty* problem. This is nonslip with a leak-proof bottom layer, and it traps litter inside of it until you’re ready to shake it out or vacuum it up. And if your cats are anything like mine, there will be a ton of litter in it.
Promising review: “Super duper cute!! I was searching for a mat that wasn’t super basic and grey, and this one struck my fancy right away. The quality is great and super easy to clean. Definitely a 10/10 for me.” —Jenna Jones
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five styles).
23. A macrame swing in case you were looking for a unique piece to hang on your wall that you and your fluffy little roommate (who doesn’t pay rent OR have a job, SMH) can agree on.
Promising review: “My kitty loves his new bed. To get him used to it, I placed several treats on it, and he jumped right in. I used a hook that can hold a 50-pound painting to hang it up. It goes with my aesthetic, and it’s so functional! Great purchase.” —Lael
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
24. An elegant scratch-pad sofa to purr-fectly match the entirely thrifted and *painstakingly curated* vibe of your home. Now off to Facebook Marketplace to search for a matching cat-sized coffee table!
Promising review: “We have one cat in particular we bought this for since she favors the cardboard scratching posts and is a mix of ragdoll and is…well…’big boned.’ Seems all three of our girls have taken to it. Fits our bigger cat (about 18 pounds) alone and could easily fit our two others together if one wasn’t such a snob. Great for scratching too! One of our cats is polydactyl, and she puts those extra claws to work. This couch is holding up well to all the scratching and heavy weight.” —Mikel
Get it from Amazon for $27.06+ (available in nine colors).
25. A Cat-e-Corner scratching post that’s not only going to look like a very bougie end table…it’s also going to protect that gorgeous Anthropologie couch you spent months budgeting for. This genius invention is made of solid wood with a replaceable sisal scratching mat that you can easily replace once your cat has thoroughly clawed it.
Hilde & Phil
Named after designer Jeremy’s two cats, Hilde & Phil is a small business focused on creating a sustainable solution to furniture scratching. In addition to the Cat-e-Corner, Hilde & Phil also sells additional sisal scratch pads and wooden risers to adjust the height of your Cat-e-Corner as needed.
Promising review: “The Cat-e-Corner we received from Hilde & Phil arrived promptly, was easy to assemble and is of absolutely beautiful quality. It works perfect with our couch and our kittens love it- they are already using it regularly and it’s their favorite spot to scratch. I would highly recommend the Cat-e-Corner to anyone who wants to protect their furniture and do it in style!” —Lauren O.
Get it from Hilde & Phil for $379+ (available in left or right facing styles, in maple or black walnut, and with optional risers; also available as a pair).
26. Some low-key, plastic bowls with a spill-deterring ripple pattern that’ll completely blend in with most decor styles. Sometimes, you’re not trying to make your cat’s feeding station the focal point of your kitchen, and that’s OK.
Promising review: “This item is PERFECT!! Even better than expected! The quality is impressive — it’s light, easy to wash (goes in the dishwasher too), and feels much more durable than just a ceramic. It stays in place, is easy to transport, and best of all — it doesn’t look like a typically ugly cat bowl, so it blends in like it’s decor. I also absolutely LOVE that it’s centered around preventing whisker fatigue — I don’t think many people realize that normal bowls with sides would bother them, but this bowl nailed it on every category! I’m buying another color right now.” —K. ODonnell
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six colors, including stainless steel and ceramic options).
27. And finally, a frog-shaped cat cave that’s almost as cute as the cat who will be sleeping soundly inside of it! If your furbaby is always trying to burrow under the covers at night, you’re going to want this. They’ll get that snuggled-up feeling, and you can save your toes from some sharp claws.
Promising review: “My cat is obsessed with this bed! I originally bought it for my new kitten, but he literally only likes to lay on hard, flat surfaces. Luckily, my other cat actually likes being comfortable, so she uses it all the time. She’s a pretty chonky girl (15 pounds) and she fits comfortably and snugly in the medium size. It doesn’t like to stay upright, and the mouth/eyes hang kind of low, but it makes it cozier inside for her. The cushion is removable, so it’s easy to wash too.” —Mars
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three sizes and four styles).
