Feeding Basics
🍽️ Feeding · Eating Well & Drinking Better
Two small upgrades can make a big difference: how your cat eats, and how your cat drinks.
Eating · Bowls
What’s “just okay” about a basic bowl?
- Floor-level eating can strain the neck over time.
- Narrow edges may cause whisker fatigue.
- Plastic bowls can trap bacteria and contribute to chin acne.
Eating comfort · Basic bowl vs ergonomic feeder
| Aspect | Basic Floor Bowl | Adjustable Raised Feeder |
|---|---|---|
| Posture | Neck bent downward | More natural eating angle |
| Whisker Comfort | Edges can rub whiskers | Wide, shallow bowls |
| Hygiene | Plastic can hold odours/bacteria | Stainless steel is easy to clean |
| Long-Term Use | Often replaced later | Works from kitten to adult |
Adjustable Stainless-Steel Feeder
A practical upgrade that supports comfortable posture at every meal.
- Raised height supports neck & spine
- Whisker-friendly wide bowls
- Stainless steel, easier to keep clean
Eating comfort supports posture and helps daily routines feel calmer.
Drinking · Water
Why “still water” often doesn’t work for cats:
- Water can feel stale quickly.
- Some cats naturally prefer moving water.
- Low intake can become a long-term health risk.
Hydration habits · Still water vs flowing water
| Aspect | Still Water Bowl | Flowing Water Fountain |
|---|---|---|
| Freshness | Needs frequent changing | Circulation helps keep water fresh |
| Interest | Often ignored | Encourages natural drinking |
| Daily Habit | Lower intake is common | Better chance of steady intake |
| Noise | Silent, but not enticing | Ultra-quiet pump |
Stainless-Steel Silent Water Fountain
A simple way to make hydration feel effortless — especially for picky drinkers.
- Flowing water stays more appealing
- Ultra-silent motor
- Easy-clean stainless steel top
Better drinking habits are one of the easiest upgrades for long-term wellbeing.
Litter Setup
🚽 Litter Area · Less Smell, Less Scattering, Less Stress
The litter box you choose determines how clean your home feels — especially in smaller UK flats.
Common issues with a basic open litter tray:
- Litter gets kicked out and spreads across floors.
- Smells travel further without any enclosure.
- Cats feel exposed and sometimes avoid using the tray.
Quick comparison · Open tray vs enclosed drawer box
| Feature | Open Litter Tray | Drawer-Type Enclosed Box |
|---|---|---|
| Odour Control | Smell spreads into the room. | Enclosed design traps odour better. |
| Litter Scattering | Frequently kicked out onto floors. | Top exit & anti-scatter mat reduce mess. |
| Cleaning | Requires hand-scooping inside the tray. | Drawer slides out for quick clean-up. |
| Cat Privacy | Cats feel exposed. | More privacy for shy or new cats. |
Drawer-Type Enclosed Litter Box
A cleaner, quieter and more cat-friendly upgrade compared with a standard open tray.
- 1-minute front drawer cleaning
- Better odour control with enclosed structure
- Large interior for growing cats
- Anti-scatter top panel
If you want fewer smells and less sweeping, upgrading from an open tray is the easiest win.
Rest & Sleep
😴 Resting Area · From “Any Spot” to a Comfortable Safe Haven
The right bed reduces stress, builds routine and helps your cat settle into your home faster.
What goes wrong with a random cushion or closed box bed:
- Fully enclosed beds trap heat and can feel stuffy.
- Non-removable cushions absorb odours and fur.
- Very open beds don’t feel secure enough for shy cats.
Sleeping comfort · Generic beds vs purpose-designed options
| Feature | Generic Cat Bed | 2-in-1 Cat Bed | Rattan Cat Bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall Comfort | Often too soft or too flat | Shaped for daily naps | Firm basket + soft cushion |
| Sense of Security | Too open or fully enclosed | Semi-open, cosy feel | Semi-open, cosy feel |
| Scratching Support | None — cats use furniture | External scratch board included | / |
| Airflow & Breathability | Fabric traps heat | / | Woven rattan allows airflow |
| Seasonal Comfort | Can feel stuffy year-round | / | Cool in summer, cosy with cushion |
| Cleaning & Maintenance | Cushion often non-removable | Simple surfaces, easy upkeep | Washable removable cushion |
| Long-Term Use | Often replaced quickly | Supports rest + scratching | Durable structure for long use |
2-in-1 Cat Bed
A comfy nap spot plus a scratch surface — perfect for small homes.
- Supports daily naps
- Scratch board reduces sofa scratching
- Multi-use, compact design
Rattan Cat Bed with Cushion
Breathable but cosy — ideal for year-round resting.
- Rattan allows airflow
- Washable cushion
- Raised structure keeps bed off cold floors
A proper bed makes your cat feel secure and reduces stress — especially in multi-room homes.
Play & Exercise
😺 Playtime · Give Indoor Cats a Safe Way to Climb & Explore
Without a cat tree, many indoor cats turn your sofa, shelves or curtains into their playground.
Without a proper climbing option:
- Cats climb furniture to find height.
- Sofa arms become scratching pads.
- Nervous cats lack a private “lookout point”.
Quick comparison · No tree vs multi-level tree
| Feature | Single Post / No Tree | Multi-Level Cat Tree |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Exercise | Limited activity. | Encourages climbing & jumping. |
| Furniture Protection | Sofas get scratched. | Multiple scratching areas. |
| Height Advantage | No designated lookout spot. | Top perch offers security. |
| Stability | Wobbly single posts. | Stable base + anti-tip kit. |
| Comfort | Few soft resting spots. | Plush platforms for lounging. |
Multi-Level Cat Tree
A complete upgrade from a single scratching post — ideal for active indoor cats.
- Multiple climbing levels
- Sisal-wrapped scratching posts
- Top lookout perch
- Anti-tip safety kit included
A cat tree protects your furniture and satisfies your cat’s natural urge to climb high and observe safely.
