If your four-legged friend meows, they have needs they don't share with other adorable four-legged creatures. But they also deserve to be happy. Below are some items you can buy before their arrival that can make your feline friend happy.

You'll probably arrive tired and hungry after a long trip. Your feline friend is likely in the same situation. You'll certainly want to satisfy your hunger with something. Maybe a pizza. Perhaps you'll even have time to stop at a restaurant before arriving at your new home. But what about your cat? Prepare a snack for him too. Below are some suggestions for cat food to prepare a snack for him right after your arrival.

Did your furry friend behave well during the trip? Do you like to give him a little treat now and then? Then buy some cat treats to show your companion how much you appreciate his good behavior.

What goes in one way eventually comes out the other. You don't want your beloved feline friend to soil your new home and cause a disagreement, do you? Some cats use absorbent pads. This is rare, so it won't be included here. If your cat has this habit, go to the page dedicated to dogs, as there are some models of absorbent pads that we recommend for dogs and that cats can also use if they are accustomed to it.

The norm for cats is the use of litter boxes. Below are some practical models that you can buy before your arrival. Remember, you will probably arrive with a strong need to use the bathroom. Your pet will probably have the same need. So have the place ready for him to relieve himself so you don't have an unpleasant surprise.

For the litter box to work, it needs... guess what? Litter, of course. You'll need to regularly buy litter to put in your cat's litter box. If you bought a box, you should also buy at least the first load of litter for it. Below are some popular brands you can buy for your first load in the litter box.

After some time of use, cat litter boxes often develop a bad odor. After all... well, we know what cats put in them. To reduce this problem, there are some products that can be added to the litter boxes that absorb at least a considerable part of this bad odor. We recommend using them so that your new home doesn't have that unpleasant smell. See some brands below.

Cats have an instinctive need to sharpen their claws. You don't want them using your armchair, sofa, or bed for that, do you? So provide a scratching post so they have somewhere to satisfy this peculiar feline need. Below are some available models.

Cats love to climb to high places and survey the surroundings from there. To reduce the risk of your feline friend doing this on shelves where you keep your glasses or other breakable objects, it's a good idea to provide a cat tree. Your breakable items will have a better chance of surviving your furry friend's curiosity. Almost all available models have a built-in scratching post, so if you decide to gift your cat one, you may not need to buy a separate scratching post. Below are some available models.

You're going to leave home and leave your little friend locked up for several hours every day, right? How about getting some toys to keep him entertained when you're not around? Also, when you ARE around, you'll want to spend time interacting with your friend. Some cat toys help in both situations. See some models below.
