Cat Wisdom 101 Top 10 Pet Products of 2014
We test and review a huge amount of products every year and many don’t make it onto our blog. It’s a tough choice but we’ve narrowed our favorites down to the Top 10 pet products of 2014. They come with our seal of approval. We are not including food, treats or cat litter on this list.
While many pet websites are doing cyber sales, discounts and holiday gift guides, we’re doing something different. We’re not charging brands or sponsors a penny to be included on this list. These are simply products that my cats and I use, like and have stood the test of time. You could call them classics and they’re pretty darn purrfect. We’ve included links to the companies and our original reviews. They would all make fine holiday gifts for some lucky kitties. Most would be great for dogs too. The price range is from affordable to pricey. We’ll be offering a giveaway next week for one of them.
Our Cat Wisdom 101 seal of approval pet products recipients for 2014 are (in no particular order):
1) Kitty Treadmill scratcher from Royal Cat Boutique. We love its versatility and it happens to be our latest giveaway. Our three lucky winners are: Mo and the purries, Katie and Coco and Susan P. Congratulations! Please look for an email from Cat Wisdom 101 requesting your shipping address.
2) CritterZone. The natural way to remove any odor. Our review
3) Sleepypod. We are very lucky and spoiled to have several of the best cat carriers available. A friend recently moved from California to New York with three cats and she asked my advice. Naturally she bought three Sleepypods for the cross country flight and was glad she did. Our review
4) The catnip banana from Yeoww or “Nip Nana” is a perennial favorite. Our review. It came in a Pet Box with other goodies.
5) Furminator. No brush works better on pet hair to reduce shedding. Our review.
6) Drinkwell fountains from Petsafe. We have several and love them. We’ve had the stainless steel Pet 360 the longest. Our review with tips.
6 and 7 are from the same company. Neko Flies makes our # 1 favorite wand toy Our review And Odin’s favorite winter hideaway is the Neko Napper house. Our review with cute pics. He’s napping there right now!
8) Feliway. Spray, plug-in or wipes, Feliway is my feline ‘feel good” must have. Our Review
9) The Googie Bed from Davies Decor. Our fabadoo review.
10) Rescue Remedy. The one and only Bach Flower Remedy from the oldest source. The homeopathic natural help for stress. It’s safe and useful for people, kids or pets. They have many other formulas too. Our review
It’s fun to shop and buy new items for our cats BUT we can do that any time. The holiday season for us is more about spending quality time with our family and friends and of course our cats. May your December be full of peace, love and purrs.

Oh we love all of these things and enjoyed your reviews! I think Sam’s one of the only cats in the universe that doesn’t have a nip nanner but then he’s not “into” catnip! We love love LOVE the Googie and Neko “houses”…….such great designs. There are a lot of really well made and useful products out there for cats. Santa Paws is coming soon and it helps to be reminded of some of the really GREAT stuff available!
Hugs, Pam
