1. A mounted catnip ball that'll send even the chillest cats into a silly frenzy that's a little too fun to watch. Each ball has a different flavor so there's a good chance they'll like at least one of 'em.
The four flavors include silvervine, gall fruit, catnip, and cat sugar.
Promising review: "The cats are in love with this thing and it is so durable! They have been rubbing their faces against it as well as pulling on it with their paws and it has not fallen once. Great entertainment!" —Sky
Get the set of four from Amazon for $12.99 (available connected or as stand-alone balls).
2. A durable chew toy for pups who get aggressive with their toys, especially after being cooped up inside a lil' too long! This sturdy toy will keep them entertained *and* withstand their tough chewing.
Promising review: "My 8-month-old hound dog with bionic jaws, who has destroyed $400 of toys in the three months since I rescued her, has not destroyed this. The rope even remains unshredded. We play with it in the park. She marches around with it in her mouth and plays tug with humans and canines. She also likes to play fetch with herself and this ball. And, like many dogs, she shakes her head back and forth quickly while holding the rope. The ball is too big for her mouth, but she tries to grab it. She is entertained and so am I!" —Mary G GTG Owner
Get it from Amazon for $24.27 (available in three sizes and six colors).
3. A self-groomer cat brush so your kitties can groom themselves and enjoy pets whenever they want. You can even load it up with catnip if they need some convincing.
Promising review: "None of my cats like to play with toys and it was driving me [wild]! They have so much energy but would get bored with any toy within days. I tried rotating them and interactive toys, anything and everything for hours and at different times. There is nothing that has kept my cats busy like these grooming tools! I have literally never seen any of them sit and mess with something for more than a few minutes but my cats will rub on this for like 20 min at a time. 100% worth the money!" —Amazon Customer
P.S. Don't forget to add some catnip to your cart so you can make your cat an offer they can't refuse!
Get it from Amazon for $7.19.
4. A snuggle puppy stuffed toy because your dog could use some extra love, especially if they have separation anxiety. It has a "real feel" heartbeat, so they're bound to ~fall~ in love with this toy.
The "real feel" heartbeat has two modes: 24-hour continuous use or eight-hour use with automatic shut-off. It comes with AAA batteries and a one-time use heat pack.
Snuggle Puppy was created in 1997 by a breeder who wanted to help a litter of puppies to transition to their new homes. It ended up being so effective that the line was eventually expanded to help other pets with stress and anxiety.
Promising review: "I received a puppy approximately two months ago, and she carries it around all over! As a new puppy, she has many toys, but always leaves the others after five minutes of play time. This one she carries all over the place, even when the heart is not beating. The toy is very durable and soft. Well worth the money I paid for it!" —Sophie23
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in five colors and as a two-pack).
5. Or a purr pillow your kitty will surely thank you for when it's snuggled up next to it. The gentle purring sound is soothing to anxious cats and will help occupy high-energy kitties!
The touch-activated purr pillow is available as a purple kitty or a blue sloth. Petstages offers other soothing toys, including a glow-in-the-dark mouse that contains catnip.
Promising review: "Got a little baby kitten. He's very playful so I wanted to get him a toy to keep him occupied with something other than my ankles and legs...he absolutely loves it. He's been using it for a few months now. The purring effect is really cool, as soon as I turn it on it immediately catches his attention and even puts him to sleep sometimes." —Alfred
Get it from Amazon for $13.74+ (available in three styles and four colors).
6. A gorgeous wooden cat tree when you want to entertain your climbing feline without ruining your home's aesthetic. If your cat loves to birdwatch from a window as the leaves fall off the trees, I can promise you this is *the* ultimate way to keep them both cozy and entertained.
This is def a splurge purchase but I've had mine for about six months and have ~no regrets~ whatsoever. My high-energy cat has deemed this her safe place where she'll stare out the window birdwatching for hours and eventually give into a nap. It's also a huge help when she has the indoor zoomies and races around the house to burn off energy. She always comes right back to the cat tree to swat the pom-pom balls and go to town on the scratching posts! I personally appreciate that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and actually matches the aesthetic in my space without taking over the whole room. The quality is *chef's kiss* amazing, too.
Mau is a small biz founded by cat lovers who want to provide modern aesthetically pleasing cat furniture made from sustainable materials.
Promising review: "Wow! Not only is this the best looking cat tree, my two kittens jumped right up and started playing, and then napping, immediately. It’s really sturdy, too. One of my kittens is a Maine Coon, and it’s not wobbly like the carpeted trees you get at the pet store. Assembly instructions were the best I’ve ever used; everything was labeled and numbered, and it was helpful to watch the video first. All around, this is a high-quality product that works well and looks great while doing it!" —Paula Maroulis
Get it from Mau on Etsy or Amazon for $289 (available in three colors).
7. OR, a multilevel cat condo if you need even more entertainment for your cats. Whether you have a kitten with tons of energy or you have several cats in the home, this will keep 'em busy.
Promising review: " This is a great tower for my kitty, Pepper, who loves to climb. She entertains herself all day by running up and down the tree, hunting the hanging fluffballs on it. It allows me to give her vertical space compared to horizontal space as we have a very small apartment." —Isabel
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in four sizes and nine colors).
8. An interactive treat puzzle so your doggo will have to work a little harder for their reward! This keeps them occupied longer and prevents them from gobbling up their treats in one fell swoop.
You can hide their favorite treats inside the flip-top compartments and liftable dog-bone shapes, all of which have tiny air holes on top so your doggo can smell that something is hiding underneath. You might have to show them how to access the compartments the first time they use it, but reviewers say most dogs get the hang of it very quickly!
Promising review: "My puppy Chabuddy loves this puzzle ... He uses his nose and paws to remove covers, flip open the lids, and slide the boxes to reveal more treats. I didn’t have to teach Chabuddy what to do with the puzzle. I just gave him a single peak under one lid to show him food was in fact accessible and his nose did the rest of the work." —Clementine
Get it from Amazon for $7.19.
9. Or a slow feeder bowl to make mealtime even more exciting. It keeps their mind active by encouraging their foraging skills *and* captures their attention for more than five seconds.
Promising review: "Our three-month-old Aussie puppy was wolfing down her food, so we thought it would be a good idea to see if there was anything that could help with that. So glad to have found this bowl! It made a huge difference, and it keeps her busy so I can get a few things done without being concerned if she is getting into something she shouldn't.🙂. Bowl is made of a very thick plastic and appears to be very sturdy. I got the large bowl so the kibbles were more spread out, giving her more "fun time" while eating. She really seems to enjoy the problem-solving stimulation." —Red in Keds
Get it from Amazon for $6.35+ (available in four sizes and eight styles).
10. An organic cat grass growing kit for anyone with a furry friend who is downright obsessed with plants. Plus, if your cat is used to getting some backyard grass time, this is a nice replacement during the fall season when the yard is covered in piles of leaves.
This kit comes with a rustic wood planter that'll look great in your home. It contains a blend of barley, rye, oat, and wheat seeds, so it's packed with vitamins and minerals that are good for your cat!
The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic, nontoxic products for other passionate cat owners.
Promising review: "I have been a customer for about a year now, and ever since the first time when we gave her gentle pets while she ate the grass, she’s now developed a whole daily routine! She meows at us every morning, demanding that we come and sit with her and pet her while she munches happily on the grass. It’s become such an important part of her daily routine that we bought two of the planters so that she can always have fresh grass." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $28.90 (available in four planter colors).
11. Or, a pack of all-natural matabi chew sticks because not all cats are over the moon for catnip. If your fur baby is a bit of an oddball and loves chewing on furniture legs and charger cables, these may captivate them.
Meowy Janes is a New Jersey-based small business that specializes in catnip alternatives. They work with sustainable, family-owned farms to source their natural products.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart gave these to her kitties: "I recently tried some of these out with my cats and they were a hit! TBH they've never really been super into catnip — they'll play with it but they don't go wild — so I was excited to see they were into these. They bat them around, rub their faces all over them, and ultimately, when they're done, hide them under a chair or in their cat condo so they can come back to them later."
Promising review: "I have two cats, one special needs almost blind kitty, and one very lovey-dovey, very vocal kitty. The special needs kitty has not warmed up to these yet, but she usually needs extra time with new things. But my talkative kitty just loves them! I scraped off some bark as instructed, and she gnawed, tossed, chased and altogether enjoyed them." —Grace Cook
Get them from Meowy Janes on Etsy for $11.85 or Amazon for $11.21.
12. A "cat dancer" toy when cheap thrills are the key to your hyperactive kitty's heart. Wave this toy around and watch 'em dance the night away — it'll be the best few bucks you ever spent.
Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him the happiest. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo
Get it from Amazon for $3.90.
13. A soft interactive snuffle mat that'll keep your pooch occupied while you deal with important tasks, like preparing for spooky season. Hide treats inside and they'll go to town searching for them.
Promising review: "My chiweenie absolutely loves this! He loves to dig and sniff around the kitchen floor so when I saw this I thought it would be a better way for him to release those canine desires. I feed him his dinner and breakfast in this somedays, it keeps him busy for about 30 minutes. He really seems to enjoy sniffing around the fake grass and digging at it for his food. He usually eats his entire bowl in under a minute so this is a great option also for those who have fast eaters! I am very happy I bought this item." —Erin
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
14. A washable fleece sleeping pad you can use as a crate mat OR just to provide yet *another* cozy spot where your pet can snooze the day away.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "Since this pad was designed for both cats and dogs, it comes in a wide range of sizes — I have the extra small, and it should be the perfect size for most cats. I keep mine on top of my Go Pet Club cat tree, on a platform that's fairly flat and hard otherwise. This turns it into the comfiest dozing spot, and it's easily their favorite spot on the tree! When I have to take a cat to the vet, I love to throw this pad in their carrier — not only does it provide extra cushioning, but it also has the comforting smell of home they'll recognize even when I have to take them to the scary vet clinic. If you have a window hammock, this would also work great on top of that too! FYI, I've also run this pad through the wash with no issues. "
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four colors and seven sizes).
15. A surprisingly quiet swan fountain so you can motivate your cat to stay hydrated. Bonus points: They'll be mesmerized for hours. If your cat lingers by the sink faucet waiting for a drink, try this!
Don't forget to purchase a three-pack of replacement filters so your kitty never has to be without their precious fountain!
Promising review: "One of my cats has a health condition that makes it essential for her to drink as much water as possible, so I decided to try this fountain since it mimics the sink faucet more than the others I have. As soon as I turned it on, she came running, and she's loving it. It's small and plastic, so it's lightweight but probably easier to break than the metal one I have. It's very quiet, and the other cat (who doesn't seem to care about running water) has no problem drinking from the bowl portion. It was easy to assemble and seems easy to clean." —Bonnie A. Franz
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
16. A genius set of catnip-infused felted balls if you're desperate to entertain your rambunctious feline on those lazy fall days when you're all out of energy. Return them to the tin to recharge with more catnip before the next play sesh.
Simply B Vermont is a small business located in Montpelier, Vermont that carries a huge selection of toys and accessories for both cats and dogs. You can also get dog bandanas, catnip alternatives,
Promising review: "My cat normally only likes toys with feathers and ribbons or catnip filled so I took a chance and ordered these for her. She is OBSESSED. She is like a little maniac running around chasing a little felt ball. I always hear crashing and it’s her throwing around the toy and running into things lol. So glad I purchased these and that she loves them so much!" —Kristina Meyer
Get it from Simply B Vermont on Etsy for $8.75+ (available in three tin colors).
17. A Goughnuts chew ring strong enough to go against enthusiastic chewers. Your dog may become *obsessed* with trying to figure out why they can't destroy it, but at least they'll be busy!
Promising review: "We have a mastiff/American bulldog/pitbull mix and he LOVES toys. So finding a toy that lasts more than 30 minutes is historically impossible. Finally, we found the Goughnut which he GOES [WILD] for. It's the first toy that has the right texture that our dog loves and he hasn't been able to tear it to shreds. He's fascinated with it and why he can't destroy it. It's able to keep him busy for several daily play sessions. Love it!" —Rowan W.
Get it from Amazon for $28.95+ (available in three colors and four toughness levels).
18. A cardboard box with refill scratch pads so your cat becomes interested in destroying something other than your furniture when the zoomies hit. They'll be so enamored with their new box, they won't even realize it was mostly for your benefit.
Listen up, people. If your cat loves to take their scratching habit out on your furniture, you absolutely *need* one of these in your home. They're especially great for kitties who automatically take up residence in any cardboard box you bring into the house 😆 (iykyk). These last a really long time, so you only need to buy 'em every few months — maybe more often in a multi-cat household. It comes with a box, three scratching pad refills, and three small bags of catnip. The scratching pads are reversible, so you can flip it over once the first side is destroyed and get more use out of it. I keep one of these in the living room and one in my bedroom and my cat has no interest in scratching anything else now. Also, she loves these so much that she'll often end up taking a little snooze inside of the box!
Promising review: "I have a cat that only likes a few things, and she obsesses over those things. Cardboard scratchers are one of her favorite things. I love that this comes with three inserts that can be flipped over. Basically it's six scratchers. This will last her several months and we will be back for more when she goes through them all. Also, the price for this item was so much better than many others I see out there." —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
19. Or a cat scratching post to keep your vertical scratcher occupied when their energy levels are through the roof. They may even keep their claws off your couch for a change.
Promising review: "While I haven't gotten a chance to try the scratcher out personally, our cat loves it, and that's enough for me. Our surly and highly judgmental cat was gouging up the sofa and carpet until we got this excellent scratcher. I was impressed at how stable it is as our cat is not the most slender of creatures. But she hasn't knocked it over yet. The ball-on-a-string on top is a very clever feature as that was the first thing that got our cat's attention. Plus it's helping to keep her needle-like claws more manageable." —Alan
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in two sizes).
20. A ~berry~ cute fruit tart bed that looks so dang delicious, you may have to start baking your fall goodies immediately. It comes with a few fruit-shaped cushions they can play with as they drift off to dreamland.
Take it from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower: "Not only does my cat sleep in this every day, she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment."
Promising review: "The cats love it! They bird watch in it until they fall asleep. They also play with the stuffed fruit, which I didn't think they would. Both seem to enjoy, and they fight over it at times. I bought the large. Very happy with this purchase! My cats are picky, and most things I buy turn out to be a waste, not this one!" —A Hutch
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes).
21. Or an Aspen self-warming bed for hard-to-please pets who turn their noses up at everything you buy for them. This plush bed is unbelievably cozy *and* it uses heat-reflecting technology to keep 'em toasty with their own body heat!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes swears by it: "This is THE cat bed, y'all. Neither of my cats have ever really taken to a cat bed and much preferred to doze on their cat tree or curl up on a regular blanket — until I finally caved in and bought the Aspen self-warming bed a while back. IMMEDIATELY upon placing it on my couch, one of my cats crawled into it and happily began napping. As soon as he moved away, my other cat jumped in to take it for a test run as well — and immediately curled up as well. After about a week of them taking turns using it (literally, the cat *not* in the bed would lay next to it waiting for the other to leave — my polite boys 🥹), I realized I needed to buy a second one. They immediately took to that one as well, and now, they both have access to their favorite bed whenever they like!
Whenever I put my hand underneath them, I can definitely feel how warm they are underneath, so the bed's self-warming feature seems to work well. I think what they love most about it is the shape and how unbelievably cushy it is. And the sides of the bed are supportive enough for them to put their heads on, but still flexible enough for them to stretch out however they like. While the listing recommends this bed for cats under 10 pounds, larger cats will be just fine, as Sneaky is quite large (his affectionate nickname is "Chonky"), and he adores this bed. Most of all, I love knowing they won't be cold at night, especially when I'm away from home. Knowing I'll never have to waste money on another cat bed that sits unused is just the cherry on top. Highly recommend!!"
Get it from Amazon for $23.41 (available in five sizes and three styles).
22. A nail scratch pad, which actually serves two purposes! Not only does it occupy your dog with a positive reinforcement activity, but it also helps keep their nails trimmed to a reasonable length.
The ScratchPad is available in different levels of coarseness depending on your pup's needs. Every purchase comes with a step-by-step training guide to teach your dog to use the ScratchPad for both the front AND back feet!
ScratchPad For Dogs is a small business in Atlanta. The owner was inspired to create this product after having plenty of firsthand experience with a dog that hates nail trims.
Promising review: "Just as described. Only took about 15 minutes each to train two of my dogs to scratch on the pad with their front paws. It quickly became a game to them and they line up ready to scratch as soon as the board comes out of the closet. May not be as precise as a professional nail trim, but definitely allows us to go a longer time between trips to the groomers and is stress free for our pups." —Endeavour Toys
Get it from ScratchPad For Dogs on Etsy for $56.06 (originally $65.95; available in three materials and four styles).
23. A legendary banana toy they'll go truly ~bananas~ for when you bring it out during playtime because it's packed with 100% catnip. Yep, this is guaranteed to result in an intense cuddle sesh.
Promising review: "I've spent a crap ton on toys for my picky cat only for him to ignore them. My co-worker gave me one of these unassuming bananas and it's like crack for cats! He can't get enough! I got three for backup. They are durable (I don't clip his claws) and the right size to hold and kick. Smoosh and twist to activate the catnip and he's ready to play. This is a staple in his toy box now." —Lan
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $17.88.
24. A time-consuming treat-dispensing ball if you need a toy that'll keep your pet busy while you're on a date with your one true love: a PSL. Pop some treats inside and let their problem-solving skills shine as they work to retrieve them.
Promising review: "My dog is a fast eater. This toy keeps her busy for hours trying to get treats out of the ball. I put larger pieces of treats inside to slow down kibble from coming out of the ball. It's larger than others so it doesn't get stuck under furniture." —Lauren Howroyd
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
25. A rainbow cat charmer when your pet's fave thing in the whole world (after you, of course) is chasing string around the house. It's made of a soft felt material, so it's fun *and* easy for them to play with.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes had this to say: "I have this exact toy for my cats, and it's easily their favorite thing to play with — and they have a lot of toys. I first noticed they loved string because they tore apart a mouse toy that was basically string wrapped around a plastic mouse shape — they didn't care about the mouse, but they loved the torn-apart string (aka literal trash at this point). I got this rainbow toy because I realized they really just wanted to chase long tail-like objects, and they sure do light up whenever they see me pick up this wand and know that it's playtime. I love that it's long, so I can just sit on my couch and whisk it around the area, and even shy little Chicho, who likes to sit further back and watch while his older brother plays (as seen in the GIF above), can still bat at it. It's a super simple toy, but the amount of joy it'll probably bring your kitty is worth every penny."
Promising review: "We bought one of these about five years ago, and it was a hit. It has been well used and finally starting to fray a bit. We have a new kitten, and she absolutely loves this toy. Like others have said, she will drag this thing around and bring it to us to get us to play with her. I just ordered another one." —Jayster
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
26. A darling lil' pom-pom pet tent to give your furry pal a secret hideout where they can go to snuggle up by themselves. Don't worry, they'll be back with some 'thank you' kisses in no time!
It comes with a cotton canvas tent, pine wooden poles for setting it up, and pom-pom pad for them to lay on (though of course you could put your own bed on top of it). Reviewers say it's spacious enough for small dogs and big cats!
Promising review: "This is hands-down the most adorable cat bed ever! They love it. They barely waited on me to finish before they crawled in. I'm in love! It easily fits my 20-pound girl PLUS two other normal-sized kitties inside." —Beevil
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in two styles).
27. A ~hilarious~ giggle ball your pup will be enthralled with for hours thanks to the fun giggling sound that'll grab their attention. The best part? No batteries or charging necessary.
Promising review: "My boxer absolutely loves this ball, this is the second one that I have purchased — the other one still works but she's had it two years and it's a bit chewed up. It lasts for a very long time with my aggressive chewer and keeps her entertained — I actually have to make her come inside from the patio. The sound it makes is so funny and I think that is what keeps her chasing it so much. I would definitely recommend for any medium or large dog breed." —Kristy J.
Get it from Amazon for $14.97.
28. A motion-activated laser toy because when your pet has a case of indoor zoomies, they'll have something to chase around until they've tuckered themselves out!
Promising reviews: "Our cat loves it. Light is very bright at day or night. Great that there are multiple mounting options, wall, shelf, or window. Great to for busy lives when we need to leave our cat still have something to interact with." —Amazon Customer
"My dog loves lasers and we are getting two kittens, so I thought I would give this a try. When I received it, I got it out of the box and my dog went [wild]. She loves it and I love that it is rechargeable instead of using up batteries." —G Brodecky
Get it from Amazon for $25.
29. A three-tiered ball tower if your cat loves the thrill of a chase. They'll be so preoccupied with all the balls rolling around — they might just forget about the inanimate objects they usually torment.
I'll be honest, I didn't expect much when I bought this toy but I was pleasantly surprised when my cat took to it right away. She'll play with it when she's full of energy as well as when she wants some lazy playtime before bed. It comes with six balls – three solid colors and three with bells inside. I keep the three solid balls in the tower (she hasn't been able to knock any loose yet!) and the others on reserve for swatting around the house.
Promising review: "I recently rescued two domestic shorthair kittens and needed a variety of toys for them to play with and to keep them occupied. This toy is one of their favorites and they have endless amounts of fun with it, they’re so engaged whenever they start playing with the balls. I never want to take it away from them. This is definitely a great product for any current or would be cat owners." —JayHawk
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 14 colors/styles).
30. An interactive dog toy for hide-and-seek loving pups who need their fix when it's a bit too chilly to go outside. They'll be entertained for the foreseeable future as they try to find the hidden squirrels.
Six squeaky squirrels are included with the XL toy pictured above. The small, medium, and large size toys come with three squirrels. You can also purchase a three-pack of replacement squirrels as needed.
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing. Our Corgi puppy loves it and it keeps her well occupied. This is a great toy for a teething puppy and forces her to think. Definitely recommend." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in four sizes and many styles).
31. A classic Kong dog toy because sometimes all it takes is a treat to keep 'em busy and content. Fill it with peanut butter or any other treat they love, and you'll instantly be crowned Best Pet Parent!
Promising review: "My puppy goes [wild] for this. We fill it with peanut butter on our work days and it helps him not notice us leaving for the day. No whining, no separation anxiety! A must have!" —Mary K. Mclaughlin
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six sizes).
32. An orthopedic pet bed to maximize comfort for pets who live for a long nap on a fall afternoon. The ergonomic design has a soft cushion that evenly distributes body weight while improving airflow.
Promising review: "I was looking for a new bed for my old man since he has been having trouble sleeping with arthritis. As soon as I got the bed delivered, I laid on it myself as a tester and I was pleasantly surprised at how much support it had! I knew my senior dog would love it. He’s a husky/pitbull mix and around 80n lbs. The jumbo is more than enough to stretch out on, maybe even fit two dogs :)" —Atang
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five sizes, three materials, and 13 colors).
33. A tunnel bed so you can accomplish two of the most important goals: keeping your pet cozy *and* entertained. It's a perfect napping spot that'll also provide endless excitement with the tunnels for hiding and chasing their siblings around.
The middle of the tube has a plush cat bed in it, so they can also take cat naps there if they prefer to use the tunnel for play. You could also lay a blanket in the tunnel for added comfort!
Promising review: "My cats absolutely love this thing! When I was putting it together, my 20-pound tabby immediately went inside the tube, and did not come out for over an hour! It was easy to put together (even with a 20-pound cat inside lol). But, this entire thing set up is about 3 feet long. It is HUGE. Make sure you have room!! The material is surprisingly soft, outside and inside the tunnel. And the light coloring allows light to filter through, which my cats like (I had a black tunnel that neither of them would go into). My smaller 10-pound tabby (black nose) LOVES to run around the house, and now he has added running a few laps inside this tunnel to his run lol. Both cats play in this ALL THE TIME. Both on the inside chasing each other, or one on the inside and one outside batting at each other. They use the tunnel as a good napping spot, and also a spot to hide from the vacuum or guests they aren't sure of. This has gotten soooooo much use from both cats. I would highly recommend this!!" —Trebeca
Get it from Amazon for $39.50+ (available in four colors/patterns).
34. A rechargeable flopping fish toy if you want to keep everyone amused — that includes four-legged and two-legged species. You'll love watching your pet tussle with this motion-activated toy so much, you may just forget about the cold weather's impending arrival.
Promising reviews: "Best cat toy. My cat absolutely loves this fish. Well worth the price to keep my cat entertained." —Joanne
"I bought two for my Frenchie and Chihuahua and they both stay entertained for a good while tossing and chewing on the little trout. The charge usually lasts about a week on a single charge." —Chef Raul Alberto Dominguez
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in seven styles).
35. A window hammock for kitties who always seem to be watching the world go by from the window but don't have a decent place to sit! It comes with strong suction cups that can hold up to 50 pounds, so it's sturdy enough for heavier cats that only want to loaf about.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says: "Sleeping and being nosy are two of my cats' favorite activities so they were instantly drawn to this hammock. I have it on a window that faces our backyard so they can watch birds, people, and trash that just floats by (<3 you Brooklyn). It's very sturdy and we haven't had any issues with it falling."
Promising review: "Epic!!! I have a cat window bed that has top cable top mount support and THIS design with bottom post mount support is soooooooooooo much better!! The bottom mount support allows for 100% unobstructed jump entry, it has a longer bed, and it just looks better without the top mount cables. Both of my cats love it so much that I’m purchasing another one to replace their old bed. I'll possibly stagger them on my sliding glass door!! Epic!!" —Diggslife
