Cat-0n scratcher

Le Ver S scratcher from Cat-On

We're excited to have yet another personalised cat scratcher from our  friends in Germany.


Lovingly handmade using state-of-the-art technologies, cat-on manufacture beautiful cat furniture, scratching furniture and cat scratching posts made of high-quality corrugated cardboard in their Berlin factory. 


As experienced cat owners, they've found that cats love cardboard, paper and corrugated board and can spend a lot of time playing with it, sharpening their claws on the material or even sleeping on it. Cats have a natural and great preference for cardboard and packaging of all kinds.

Again and again they test their cat furniture and scratching posts on their own cats. All scratching posts are made of corrugated cardboard with a high recycled content or FSC certified wood. 

They use only regenerative raw materials for the production of the scratching furniture and cat scratching trees, which can easily be returned to the dual system. So you get exceptional cat furniture and cat scratching trees, which are not only visually convincing, but also a cat toy in harmony with nature.


The Tierheim Berlin and the Tierschutzverein Berlin-Brandenburg give cat-on products the title "highly recommended".

This is the smallest of the three Cat-It scratchers we've reviewed and would be best suited to smaller cats. Norman loved it and it suited him perfectly.


Hand-made with the same care and materials as the larger scratchers, the product can be personalised with your cat's name.


The quality is self-evident. We like it!

Kitangle Slope Style Litter Box

Kitty Litter Box with Sloping Roof

Kitangle products are sensible, sturdy, and stylish. They are truly the modern litter boxes you have been waiting for. Kitangle litter boxes are designed for the pet owner seeking unmatched functionality with style and a modern color palette. Kitangle litter boxes are proudly made in the USA!


Kitangle boxes are high sided purposely for more effective urine containment. High sides are a specific and desired design feature that helps large cats, "leg-lifting" cats, and gericats with mobility issues. There is less odor in your home related to the modern design of the boxes. No more leakage from connecting parts and no more urination over the sides of the box. These design features combined with use of a scoopable litter all help with easier cleaning of the boxes and a better smelling home overall.


Kitangle products were designed to be in plain view within your home, and, to NOT look like a litter box. They match with modern bathrooms, laundry rooms, and even multipurpose spaces for those living in a condo or small apartment. Kitangle boxes are designed to fit into small spaces, into corners, and along walls nicely despite being larger boxes. 


Simply put, you get great style for your home along with a high quality, easy to use litter box for your pet.

Lastly, most cats enjoy privacy in the litter box and they want to be out of sight. But, if your cat prefers a more open environment, the lid is totally optional. Our unique design feature allows you to lift the top off if desired.


Actual weight 15 lbs. Freight weight 17 lbs. Dimensions: 20.38 x 14.75(lid width)/13.87(base width) x 19.25 inches


Price: £124.88 + shipping from the USA.

This is the second of Kitangle's litter boxes we've reviewed. We love them. Designed not to look like litter boxes they are robust, great looking (and this purple one is decidedly funky) and utterly practical. 


Prince nabbed this one but Norman was hot on his tail. This is definitely a keeper and its build quality means I suspect it will be a feature of The Magnificats' lives for many years to come.

This cardboard cut-out carriage attracted loads of very positive comments on our loive video.


It arrived very well packaged (flat-packed) with excellent instructions and no parts missing. It makes me wonder how Sasha managed to put one side together upside-down. But she did a great job and had the whole thing assembled in 20 minutes.


But did the cats like it? It's a cardboard box,  of course the liked it. And it's a cleverly-designed, fun to assemble, solidly built carriage to-boot.


Claimed immediately by Ugs. But Norman makes a great coachman on the roof.

An elegant solution to a problem so many cat owners face.


Litter boxes, by and large, are not pretty; they look like litter boxes. The tend to be open, subject to spillage and awkward to position in the home.


This litter box (in a very durable material - it feels indestructible) is big enough even for Prince. But with its right-angled rear it fits snugly into the corner of a room keeping it out of the way. There are other colours available, too.


We'll let you know how we get on but what's not to like. Clever.

Very well made, carefully chosen tools to make grooming short- (and long-) haired cats simple and pleasurable.


If you, unlike us, have cats who are prepared to sit still for 10 minutes to groom them this kit gives you everything you need even down to a pair of claw-clippers which have been designed for maximum safety.


We like the idea of using the bucket (which neatly covers the kit for storage) for holding the fistfuls of fur you remove from your happy/unmoved/furious cat.


It's a great idea to have these in kit-form. Good value!


See the video below to find out how we got on...

We love Catit products. Clean, well designed and very reasonably priced. We currently have 2 flower fountains running in the kitchen and The Magnificats drink from them all day. The 'Mini' - not entirely surprisingly - is a bit smaller than the regular flower fountain and hold about 1.5 litres of water. It's Pixie-sized.


You've got to keep your cats well hydrated to keep their kidneys healthy and remember summer is just around the corner on our side of the world.


The '3 free filters' offer is a good one as it's important to change them reguarly. For tweny quid you can't really go wrong.

Well. Our live review of this cute little hidey-hole for cats was done completely 'blind'. I'd seen a photo on the Catit website but that was it. We unboxed live.


A feint air of panic spread over me as I extracted more and more 'flat-pack' self-assembly parts. How was I going to assemble this while chatting to our audience and following instructions? I wasn't - so Sasha took over.


It tooke her 22 minutes and she didn't read the instructions. Well done, Sasha. And it's really quite nice.


It's cleverly designed and the parts are well manufactured. Materials are good and the Minou locks together into a very solid unit. And it certainly feels like pretty good value at £49.99.


Due to a predictable lack of cats (Prince was hiding upstairs) we don't know what they think of it.My guess is that it will be a hit. It certainly looks nice sat in our sitting room.


I like the stylised cat ears over the doors and the sisal mat and cushion finish it very nicely.


Well done, Vesper and Catit. You can see our review film below.
