5 Ways To Upgrade Your Cat’s Life
Metal Litter Box (and Scoop)
Stainless-steel litter boxes are durable, easy to clean, and have excellent odour control due to their smooth and non-porous surface, which prevents bacteria from growing in scratches, unlike plastic which can trap debris and smells over time.
Plastic litter boxes are exceptionally more accessible and more affordable than metal ones. But over the lifetime of your kitty, plastic litter boxes will need replacing more often than metal ones due to the scratches inviting bacteria to live inside the plastic leading to impossible-to-get-rid-of smells. Stainless steel doesn't absorb odours and bacteria like plastic does, resulting in a cleaner environment for your cat. Although the metal scratching sound is hard to get used to!
Water Additives for Dental Health
Introducing water additives to your cat’s daily hydration is an easy and non-invasive way to increase your cat’s dental health and hygiene, preventing the formation of plaque and tartar while freshening breath and promoting healthy gums.
Plaque accumulation resulting in tartar build-up is the leading cause of feline dental disease, so water additives are an effortless way to improve your cat’s quality of life and reduces the risk of dental disease, without stress. While this shouldn’t replace brushing the teeth, it is a great aid.
Healthy Snacks
Toss out those artificial cat treats, in fact, don’t even put them in your shopping carts. Natural freeze-dried 100% meats and dried fish treats are easily accessible, generally the same price as the popular junk-food treats and are a great alternative to those while being an immensely healthier option for your cats.
If your cat is only a kitten, don’t even introduce them to the junk-food treats, they can’t miss what they haven't had!
Metal, Clay or Glass Bowls
Following the same logic as the litter boxes: switching from plastic to metal, clay, or glass bowls helps keep your cat’s eating hygiene supreme. Introducing non-porous materials really takes your cat’s eating experience another level up.
These materials are all dishwasher safe for extra cleanliness and are more time-efficient for you. The metal bowls are unbreakable, which for the majority of us cat parents is important, considering it’s one less thing for your mischievous cat to knock over and break, meaning they’re more durable and long-lasting as well as being hard to scratch.
Pet Hair-Resistant Blankets.
Pet Hair-Resistant Blankets are specifically designed for pet hair, meaning that fur that accumulates on the blankets is easily removable, as it collects on the surface and rolls off with the brush of your hand! Making it easier for you to keep your home and pet area clean.
Unlike regular blankets and other items that (we all use) which aren’t designed for pet hair, it results in the pet hairs embedding themselves into the material, making it significantly harder to clean and clogging up your washing machine.
