A rod, a string and a feather lure that spins in the air and sounds like wings. Known for waking up cats that claim to be bored of toys.
A litter box disguised as a large clay pot with a fake plant on top. Guests see a houseplant. The cat knows the truth.
A fast card game of drawing cards until someone hits an exploding kitten, unless they hold a laser pointer or a catnip sandwich to defuse it. Two to five players, fifteen minutes.
Cat trees built around real tree branches, with woven baskets and hand-wrapped rope. Each one is slightly different. Furniture you might have chosen even without the cat.
A timed dry-food feeder with portion control and a backup battery, so breakfast arrives at six whether or not you do. Some versions add Wi-Fi and a camera.

A minimalist tower in wood and felt from a brand that designs cat furniture as furniture. For homes where everything else was chosen carefully too.
Send a photo and get back a clean illustrated portrait of your cat on a plain coloured background, framed if you like. A safe gift for someone who already owns every cat mug.
Mouse-shaped feeders you fill with kibble and hide around the house. Dinner becomes a hunt in small portions instead of one bowl inhaled in a minute.
A small collar tracker with live location and a history of where the cat goes all day. It needs a subscription. Mostly bought by people whose cat has a second family down the road.
A set of fridge magnets showing cats from the angle they prefer to present. Tasteless, cheap and exactly right for a certain kind of friend.

A self-cleaning litter box with a wide entry, a sealed waste drawer and an app that tracks visits. The usual alternative to the globe-shaped one, often for less.
A textured rubber mat you spread wet food or treat paste on. Licking it clean takes a while, which is the point: slower eating and a few minutes of occupied cat.

Clear double-sided strips for the corner of the sofa. The idea: cats dislike the tacky feel and take their claws elsewhere, ideally to the post next to it.
A rake sweeps waste into a covered trap a few minutes after each visit, and the whole tray of crystal litter is thrown out and replaced every few weeks. No scooping in between.
A programmable feeder with a conveyor that portions dry food up to twelve times a day, and a slow-feed mode for cats that inhale.
