Collection: Cat Supplies

Cat supplies cover a cat's core needs — somewhere to scratch and climb, a cat litter tray, and places to rest and play. Cats need to scratch, climb and hide as natural behaviours, so the right gear keeps them healthy and happy and saves your furniture. What you need suits your cat and your home. Think about your space, whether your cat is indoors, and providing outlets for scratching and climbing, which are needs rather than luxuries.

What supplies does a cat need?

The essentials cover a cat's natural behaviours:

• Cat scratching post or tree: lets a cat scratch, which is a need, saving your furniture and keeping claws healthy.
• Litter tray: one per cat plus a spare, in a quiet spot, with litter.
• Cat tower or tree: for climbing, perching and surveying, which cats love.
• Beds and hiding spots: cosy, private places to sleep and feel safe.
• Bowls and toys: for feeding and play.

Why do cats need a scratching post?

Scratching is an instinct, not a bad habit, so cats need somewhere appropriate to do it. Scratching keeps their claws healthy by shedding the outer sheath, marks territory, and stretches their muscles. Without a post, a cat scratches the furniture instead, so providing a good scratching surface protects your home and meets the cat's need. Look for a sturdy post tall enough for a full stretch, in a material cats like such as sisal, and place it where the cat spends time. A cat tree combines scratching with climbing. A proper scratching post is essential, not optional, for a cat.

What makes a good cat tree?

A cat tree gives climbing, perching and scratching in one, satisfying several feline needs. Look for a sturdy, stable base that won't wobble or tip when a cat leaps on or off, since instability puts cats off using it. Height lets a cat climb and survey from up high, which they love and which helps a nervous cat feel secure. Sisal-wrapped posts provide scratching, and platforms, hidey-holes and perches give resting spots. Match the size to your space and your cat's agility. A stable, tall tree with scratching posts and perches gives a cat exercise, a lookout and a scratch all at once.

Common questions

Why does my cat need a scratching post?
Scratching is an instinct that keeps claws healthy, marks territory and stretches muscles. Without a post, a cat scratches furniture, so a good scratching surface protects your home and meets a real need.

How many litter trays for one cat?
The guideline is one tray per cat plus one spare, so a single cat ideally has two. Place them in quiet, accessible spots away from food and water.

What makes a good cat tree?
A sturdy, stable base that won't tip, enough height for climbing and surveying, sisal posts for scratching, and perches or hidey-holes to rest in. Match the size to your space and cat.

Where should I put a litter tray?
In a quiet, private, accessible spot away from the cat's food and water and from busy thoroughfares. Cats avoid trays that feel exposed or are too near where they eat.
