Traveling with your kitty this summer? These collapsible pet bowls will come in handy. They flatten down for easy packing and storage, and when expanded can hold 350 ML.

With this purchase you'll receive two collapsible silicone pet food dishes. The dishes come in a variety of bright colors and are made from food-grade silicone.

When the bowls are collapsed, they are just over a half inch tall, making them compact for storage or travel. Keep a spare in your car in case you need an emergency water or food bowl when you're out of the house.

Each bowl comes with a small hole at the rim which can be attached to the included carabiner for easy transport. This is a highly rated set that would make a great gift idea for any traveling pet owner!

Larger bowls are also available, if you need more capacity for kitty or are also traveling with pooches!

Keep your hands free (to carry additional cats?) with this sturdy, soft-sided pet carrier that can be worn as a backpack. This unique configuration keeps kitty close to you while you travel.

When worn on the back, this backpack pet carrier has a vertical configuration. Kitty can sit comfortably and look out of the ventilation mesh windows. When not on your back, this carrier can rest in the vertical or horizontal position, depending on what is most comfortable for your pet. This option also means you can place the bag in place securely depending on the space available.

There is one zippered entrance to the carrier and a clip inside can be used to attach your cat's harness to the case.

This compact travel cat carrier is airline approved (but always check with your specific airline before traveling with any pet carrier). Note that there are several colors available. Be sure to check the measurements carefully before purchase. And check out the customer photos in the review section, which give you a much better idea of the product in use compared to the obviously Photoshopped images in the Amazon product listing.

This is a functional piece of cat furniture that can work as a litter box housing or cat bed hideaway while doubling as an end table or night stand for feline's human companions.

This is a two-story cat box with top-level entry. The lower level is accessed from a hole on the middle platform inside. A litter pan can be placed on the lower level, keeping any stray pieces of litter within the furniture when the cat ascends to exit the box. Bedding can be placed inside the box instead, providing a cozy hiding spot for nervous kitties or cats that prefer a private napping spot.

Cute paw-shaped air-vents are placed throughout the box to keep the air inside from becoming stale. The outside of the box is an attractive dark coffee color that will look great in a variety of home decors. The furniture can be used as an end table or other functional piece in a variety of rooms.

This double-decker style of litter box enclosure is perfect for smaller homes where a multi-functional piece of furniture will fit but an open litter box isn't an option. This piece also works to keep curious dogs out of the litter box.

Earlier we told you about a feeding product for cats designed to help out kitties that tend to eat their food too quickly: the Interactive Slow Pet Feeder from Northmate. Here is another interesting product that similarly introduces play and normal feline hunting behavior into feeding time. The Catit Senses 2.0 Food Tree can be used to slow down feeding or as a fun added element to treat time.

The Food Tree has three different levels upon which treats or dry food can be placed. Large holes on each of the levels allow kitty to reach paws inside to move the items around. Each level has gaps that let the food fall below; the final goal for kitty is to get the food to fall through to the bottom bowl area for eating.

This interesting interactive feeding apparatus is easy to disassemble and clean. The redesigned (note this is version 2.0!) Food Tree has a wide base for added stability and a small top opening to prevent marauding kitties from circumventing the tree's levels of interaction. If you're looking for something to make treat time or feeding time more interesting or a more drawn out affair for your fast-eating kitty, this cat gadget may be just what you need.

Our tuxedo cat Gumby is FIV+. It may be due to his condition that he suffers from terrible allergies that used to leave his skin in pretty bad shape. When we first had him as our foster kitty, he had bumps on his skin at the base of his tail and at his haunches. We could see he was in misery from the itching -- it was awful. It was recommended we ask the vet for a steroid shot to help relieve the itching. This did wonders for his comfort, but we still had to get to the bottom of the skin issues.

Something else that helps with skin irritations and allergies is this topical hydrocortisone spray from Pet MD.

This is a safe and gentle formulation made for pets, including cats. If I had known about the availability of cortisone for cats when we were working with Gumby's skin condition, I would definitely have tried it. At less than $15 (at time of writing) for a 4 ounce bottle, this is a lot more affordable than a steroid shot. The shot is supposed to be good for a month, but just a couple of weeks after the shot Gumby's skin flared up again. Having something on hand to use as needed would have been both convenient for us and a big help to Gumby.

Meanwhile, we knew there had to be underlying issues causing Gumby's skin issues. In the first weeks we had him, he needed to visit the shelter's vet to be neutered. He also needed to visit the shelter's open days several times. Unfortunately, this exposed him to other cats, and to fleas. Was a flea allergy causing his skin condition?

We also suspected that he might suffer from an allergy to his food. We started to offer Gumby different foods to see if that would help. In the meantime, we were able to proclaim him flea-free. But he still had bumps and itching. We saw some real improvements when we tried grain-free foods -- that did the trick! Now Gumby is on a high-quality grain-free diet, and his skin and fur have never been better. In addition to the other problem areas, Gumby had a bad case of feline acne on his chin. We didn't expect this to clear up too, but today his little tuxedo chin is pure white!

It's pretty awful when your kitty is suffering. While you work to find the underlying cause of skin irritations, which can be caused by diet, flea or insect bites, or other factors, consider trying a hydrocortisone topical spray made for pets to give your pet relief. You should be able to pick this up for under $15 (at time of writing) with free Amazon Prime shipping.

Here's a picture of Gumby making a funny face. Look at his pretty white chin and healthy, shiny fur!

Cats love motion. This is a fun electronic motion toy that will excite your kitty when it's playtime. Hot Pursuit flicks a small toy around under a mat, replicating the movement of a hidden prey item.

Arbitrary, unpredictable motion moves a feather or other toy attachment around at the end of a wand. The wand is hidden underneath a cloth mat, so all your cat sees is the toy moving around in an erratic pattern.

Adjust the speed to mix up things for kitty.
