Cat Supplies

Cats have very particular ideas about how their world should be arranged — and those ideas are rarely negotiable. The right bed, the right bowl, a clean litter tray, toys that actually engage their interest, and treats that earn genuine enthusiasm rather than a dismissive sniff. At ePaws, our cat supplies range covers all of it, with dedicated sections for every aspect of feline care.

Unlike dogs, cats tend to communicate their needs through subtle signals that owners quickly learn to read. A cat that stops using their litter tray is telling you something. A cat that ignores their food bowl is making a point. Getting the basics right — clean feeding areas, comfortable sleeping spots, an enriching environment — keeps cats content and reduces the kind of stress-related behaviours that can become a problem over time.

Feeding setup matters more than it might seem. Cats can be sensitive to bowl material, depth, and width — whisker fatigue, caused by deep narrow bowls that press against sensitive facial whiskers, is a genuine source of discomfort for many cats. Ceramic and stainless steel options tend to be the most hygienic and easiest to keep clean, and a separate water source positioned away from food is worth considering for cats that are prone to low water intake.

Litter tray management is one of the most important contributors to a cat's daily wellbeing. A well-maintained tray, positioned in a quiet spot with appropriate litter and the right accessories to make cleaning quick and hygienic, keeps cats using it consistently and reduces household odour. Cats are clean animals by nature — they respond well when their environment reflects that.

Enrichment and play are just as important for indoor cats as exercise is for dogs. Scratchers satisfy the natural and necessary urge to scratch, protecting furniture in the process. Toys that move, dangle, or encourage chasing tap into hunting instincts and keep indoor cats physically and mentally active. Treats and high-value rewards build trust and make handling, training, and veterinary care easier over time.

Whether you are preparing for a new kitten, updating equipment for a long-established household cat, or looking for something specific, the ePaws cat supplies range covers every stage of cat ownership in one place.

Frequently asked questions

The essentials for a new cat are a food bowl, water bowl, litter tray with a scoop, appropriate litter, a comfortable bed or sleeping area, a scratcher, and a selection of toys. Getting these basics in place before your cat arrives helps them settle more quickly and comfortably into their new home.

Indoor cats benefit from a variety of toys that encourage different types of play — interactive wand toys for chasing, puzzle feeders for mental stimulation, and independent toys like crinkle balls or catnip items for self-directed play. Rotating toys regularly helps maintain interest.

The best cat bed depends on your cat's sleeping preferences. Many cats prefer enclosed or hooded beds that give a sense of security; others like to sprawl on open mats or bolster-edged beds. Washability is worth considering, as cat beds benefit from regular cleaning.

The basics are a brush or comb suited to your cat's coat length, nail clippers, and an ear cleaning solution. Long-haired cats need more frequent brushing to prevent matting, while short-haired cats generally require less maintenance. Regular grooming also gives you the opportunity to check for any skin changes or parasites.

Choose a tray that is large enough for your cat to turn around in comfortably. High-sided trays help contain scatter and splash, while covered options give privacy-seeking cats a more sheltered space. Most cats prefer an uncovered tray, but individual preferences vary — if your cat consistently avoids the tray, the style or placement may need adjusting.

Cat treats range from soft, bite-sized training rewards to freeze-dried protein pieces and dental treats designed to support oral health. Natural, minimal-ingredient treats are a good choice for cats with sensitivities, and dental treats can be a useful addition to a grooming routine.

Scooping waste daily is the minimum for maintaining hygiene and keeping your cat using the tray consistently. A full clean — emptying, washing, and refilling with fresh litter — is recommended at least once a week for most litter types. Cats are sensitive to smell and will often refuse a tray that is not kept clean enough for their standards.
