Buying approach

Useful first, cute later.

The goal is not to collect cat gear. The goal is to solve a real problem with the smallest setup that gives the cat a better option and gives the human less cleanup.

Start with the exact problem

A mat for tracking is different from a smell setup, and a couch scratching fix is different from boredom enrichment.

Buy one useful layer first

Most pages separate the first useful buy from optional upgrades, so the setup stays practical.

Respect cat tolerance

Some cats need gradual changes. Gear is not a substitute for veterinary care or qualified behavior help.
