As we forged our way through another year of the pandemic, our cats continued to provide important services: comfort, entertainment, the medicine of laughter. Here are our best-selling items for your cats from 2021.

1 Stainless Steel Litter Box (Alternative Use Pan)

Found on Amazon

It may be marketed as a kitchen implement, but it's our best-seller from last year. This type of alternative litter pan has been at the top of our list a few years now. The sturdy pan is easy to clean and the perfect size for many cats and their owners. Just read the reviews and you'll find you're not alone in using this steaming pan as a litter box.

Money-Saving Tip: see if the pan is available via Amazon Warehouse. These are typically returns and may come slightly damaged, but does your cat need a complete dimple-free box? You could save some cash by checking out Amazon Warehouse!

2 Self-Grooming Wall Mount Corner Brush

Found on Amazon

This popular pick has been on our top list before, too. It lets kitty give himself or herself a good, satisfying scratch all on his or her own. We have a self-groomer like this on attached to a shelving unit in my office and William loves to use it to scratch his cheeks. Gumby enjoys it as well, though he's not in my office quite as much as Will.

3 Cat Spool Fun Fixed String Rolling Catnip Toy

Found on Amazon

This best-selling toy has a lot going on to make it enticing and fun for cats. The spool-shaped toy rolls and wobbles, fun for chasing. The spool has a thick string attached, with part of the string loose and ready to attack, bat, and chew. And this toy is infused with catnip, which will bring curious cats to the toy in the first place. This toy is just one of several offered by Petstages on this listing. We have had the Catnip Rolls in our cat toy basket since December, 2015 (!!!, thank you Amazon history), and they still get some play, especially from Timmy. 

4 Funny Hidden Moving Tail Cat Motion Toy

Found on Amazon

A skirt hides the motion mechanism on this funny interactive cat toy. The feather toy moves in unpredictable ways, triggering your cat's natural hunting instincts as it imitates real prey. The motion of the toy can be set to four different speed options to best suit the activity and interest of your pet. Several other similar concealed motion toys were popular last year. See other options below.

5 Extra Large Raised Cat Food Bowl

Found on Amazon

Raised food bowls like this one can help to reduce body stress when eating. Our boy Gumby has some food regurgitation issues that are greatly mitigated by using a bowl just like this one. This particular bowl is extra wide and shallow (best for avoiding whisker fatigue), sitting on a stable elevated base. The bowl is made of porcelain and is both dishwasher and microwave safe.

Give your kitty a cozy cat bed that doubles as holiday decor for your home with one of these super cute cat beds. The comfortable cat beds all have fun holiday themes, adding extra festive cheer to your home this holiday season.

When you rotate your cat's furniture, toys, and bedding, you keep kitty interested and engaged in her environment. Mixing in a holiday-themed bed for the winter season can be a type of enrichment for your family pet. 

Adorable Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Cat Bed

Found on Amazon

This fun cozy cat bed has one opening, making it an enclosed safe and warm space for kitty to have snooze. The adorable theme makes the bed look like a big reindeer, complete with a fawn color, brown antlers, and a bright red "nose" above the opening. 

Santa Claus Hat Cone-Shape Cat Tent Bed

Found on Amazon

Kitty will look like she's snoozing inside Santa Claus's hat with this fun seasonal cat bed. The red cone-shaped bed has a white base and folding top with white pom on the end, just like the famous fat man's hat. There's just one round opening, making this a cozy and safe snooze spot for kitty.

Green Christmas Tree Shape Holiday Cat Bed

Found on Amazon

This holiday cat bed in a cone shape is designed to look like a little Christmas tree, complete with some pompom "ornaments" and a yellow star on the top. This one would look great next to your holiday Christmas tree, or use this instead of a traditional tree! The cone top of the tree is attached with a zipper allowing for easy removal (in case kitty ends up preferring a bed without a top) and cleaning.

Found on Amazon

This darling dome cat bed easily converts from an enclosed shape as shown, to a cozy open-bed with plush sides, making it a great choice if you're not sure which style your cat prefers. This dome bed has a fun red and white holiday pattern with snowflakes, stripes, and dots.
