* Cat Tree
- I got my cat tree from craigslist and it costed around $90 including moving fee. Coco and Kanji love this cat tree. It gives a nice spot to scrach, sleep, and exercise for them.
You can get the same one from AllPetFurniture.com/cat-trees .
* Cat Food
- You can get cat food from pretty much any supermarket in NYC. The most well known pet store is Petco but I usually stop by Target since it's on my way home from my school and cheaper. I perfer dry
food for my cats not only because it's easier to feed with an auto feeder but also
because my cats like it better than wet food. Price ranges vary and I know that some people only get the most expensive food for their
cats but I alternate cheap and expensive ones monthly.
IAMS is one of the most expensive dry food that you can find from any stores and Friskies is relatively cheap compared to any other cat dry food.
Price (Target) : IAMS 20lb $28.99 / Friskies 16lb $11.89
* Cat Hair Cleaner
- Cats lose a lot of hair daily and if your cat has a long white fur like mine, at some point you will almost feel like giving up wearing black clothes. Sticky roller, however, can help a lot to get rid of cat's hair. I get mine from Ikea and it works great. The price is very reasonable and you can get refills as well.
A lint Brush is also one of my favorite hair cleaner. It works great to clean up the couch, carpet, and cat tree. A lint brush may not be your best choice for clothing, as it easily damages fabrics. You will have to clean up the brush after using it and this is how I clean it up. Get any jean that you don't wear anymore and rub the bristles against it by taking the opposite direction of cleaning. You can find this product at Kmart.

* Pet Taxi
- Pet taxi is useful to carry your cats to the groomer, vet, airport, and any place you need. I often use this even in my house when I have to deal with water painting lol. I got mine from Target for around $20.00 but it seems like it's out of stock now. You can always go to Walmart or Petco though. :)
* Litter
- I personally like Purina Tidy Cats 24/7 Performance Cat Litter. I've used many other products but I figured that this brand makes the strongest crumps and makes cleaning easy. You can get this item from pretty much any store near you.
Name of product: Purina Tidy Cats 24/7 Performance Cat Litter
Price: Around $10.00 for 20 lb
* Litter Box
- There are three different types of litter boxs; 1) Open litter box, 2) Hooded litter box, and 3) Automated litter box.
I use the hooded litter box not only because it keeps the room cleaner than the open litter box but also my cats don't have a problem with using it. Some cats would not use the hooded litter box but only like the open litter box, so make sure that you know the right and the best litter box for your cat. The automated litter box is the best litter box, but also the most expensive. The box will automatically clean itself when cats have already used it.
Name of product: Petmate Large Hooded Litter Pan
Price: Around $20.00
