7 Things Every Cat Parent Should Have To Make Life Purr-Fect
Lexi Hammond

As a cat parent, you want your cats to live their best, happiest life. One day my cats will have a nice catio built onto our house for them to enjoy, but until then, I have to spoil them in less expensive ways.

Whenever I go to the pet aisle in any store, I get excited to find things my cats would like. I have bought a variety of different things for cats, but these products are things that you will always find at my house.

1. Catnip Mist

I have always bought SmartyKat Catnip Mist for my cats because it stimulates them and gets them really excited to play. The smell of the spray attracts them to toys and they love it.

2. Kitty Ear Wipes

These deodorizer wipes from Petkin keep my cats' ears super clean. These aloe-infused wipes remove dirt, odor and wax, and they are eco-friendly. I used to buy the ear swabs from the same company, but my cats definitely prefer the wipes, and it makes it so much easier to get their ears clean.

3. Dental Treats

Although these treats aren't recommended for kittens, my older cat loves them. They have a porous texture that cleans plaque off the teeth. Instead of giving these treats to my kitten, I clean her teeth with a q tip.

4. Catnip Bubbles

These bubbles from Meijer contain pure catnip oil, and the cats have so much fun with them. The bubbles stay intact when they land on the floor, which gets the cats excited to pop them. It has the same smell as the catnip mist, and they could play with these bubbles for hours.

5. Deodorizing Cat Wipes

These wipes by Pet All-Star are the closest I can get to giving my cats a bath. These wipes have a specific PH balance for cats, and they are infused with aloe, vitamin E, and organic oat extract. My cats love to curl up in plants and roll around in the dirt. One wipe down with these and they smell like Vanilla and Coconut, and they are fresh and clean.

6. Friskies Canned Wet Cat Food

My cats definitely recognize this can when they see it, and when they do, they demand it. Immediately. They really enjoy this food as is or baked into treats.

7. Tons of treats

I have all different kinds of treats for the cats around the house of all different textures and flavors, just because you never know when they're going to do something cute.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
