10) Infinity Vacuum with pet care system:
Four cats means a ton of cat hair. Everywhere. This vacuum has good suction and comes with a bunch of tools to clean hair off of various surfaces. I'd guess. I don't vacuum any more than I have to, but Adam seems to like this one.
9) Feather teaser wand:
This toy is good for getting kitties out from under the bed. Also hilarious when Adam attached it to a fishing pole and flung it across the living room. You should have seen JC fly!
8) Dead Mouse Pillow from IKEA (I don't see it on their website):
The cats love this pillow. They sleep on it, they lounge on it. It's also good for propping open the patio door:
7) Sachets of catnip from my mom:
The cats go nuts for these little pouches of catnip.
The rub their heads all over it and get them good and slobbery. And then leave them in the hallway so I step on them in the middle of the night and freak out.
6) Lysol Neutra Air Freshmatic:
Cats are stinky. We used to use Glade plug-ins in the cat room, but they were no match for four cats worth of stink. This Lysol automatic air freshener sprays occasionally and helps keep the smell under control.
5) Petco Litter Deoderizer:
There are so many of this kind of product out there but the one I like the best is the PetCo brand. The Arm & Hammer brand creates all kinds of dust and the PetSmart brand smells disgusting. The PetCo brand smells less terrible and spreads out evenly with little fuss or mess.
4) Nature's Miracle Stain Remover:
Unfortunately sometimes there are accidents. Or on purposeses in Carly's case. This cleaner is pretty good at getting the stain and smell out of the carpet. It doesn't have harsh fumes itself. We have two or three spray bottles of it in various rooms of the house.
3) Cat Tree:
We were lucky enough to get this from one of Adam' co-workers. The cats love it. They sleep on the top level, play in the teepee, scratch on the base, and chase each other up and down on it.
2) Le Bistro waterer:
Four cats require a lot of food and a lot of water. This thing holds a gallon of water at a time and refills the bowl as they drink. It can go about a week before it has to be refilled, which is a process that JC enjoys a little too much:
Of course it can get messy if they tip it over, but that's only happened a few times.
1) Litter Locker:
It's a diaper genie for cats. It holds the scoopings from the litter boxes in a relatively stink-free container. I get a week out it with four cats' poo and each bag cartridge lasts about a month. It's very convenient, and while the refills can get expensive, we order in bulk from Petguys.com and it's pretty reasonable.
Of course, the cats generally find happiness in un-pet-specific things.
Like laundry baskets
or ice melting
or a comfy chair
or an empty lunchbox
