Our pick is the Nekono Aqua Pro II ($119 AUD). It's wireless (5000mAh battery), so you can place it where your cat actually prefers to drink — away from food and power points. The drinking surface is food-grade 304 stainless steel, the 2L tank is fully separated from all electrical parts for easy rinsing, and it runs under 20dB with a 270° motion sensor. It ships Australia-wide from our Sydney warehouse.

Generally, yes. Plastic develops micro-scratches over time that can harbour bacteria — a commonly cited contributing factor in feline chin acne ("black chin"). Stainless steel is non-porous, odour-free and easier to keep hygienic, which is why the Aqua Pro II uses a 304 stainless steel drinking tray.

Match the scratcher to how your cat scratches. Cats that stand and stretch tall need a stable vertical scratcher like the Torii; cats that scratch then nap prefer lounge styles like the Beach Chair. Whatever the style, a heavy, tip-resistant base matters most — a wobbly scratcher is a scratcher your cat won't use. See our comparison table above.

What a donut bed does best is comfort: plush bubble-fleece that traps warmth, a plump centre cushion that won't flatten, and a deep raised rim that doubles as a chin-rest pillow. That enclosed, curled-up shape is one cats naturally seek out when they want to feel secure, so many owners find their cats settle in quickly. Every cat is different, though — if your cat's anxiety is ongoing, it's worth talking to your vet too. Our Calming Donut Cat Bed is fully machine washable.

Completely normal: a new bed smells like a factory, not like family, and cats claim spaces by scent. Try this — lay a worn t-shirt or jumper of yours over part of the cushion (not all of it), so the bed picks up your scent, and place the bed somewhere your cat already likes to sleep. Once they've napped in it a few times, remove your clothing — by then the bed smells like them and it's officially theirs. Give it a week or two before judging.

Yes — silvervine (matatabi). Around 70–80% of cats respond to it, including many that show no interest in catnip at all. We stock two silvervine toys: the Cattem Kebab chew stick ($12.99), made of whole silvervine gall fruits for cats that like to gnaw, and the R.U.S.H. wool felt kicker ($30), a silvervine-infused plush for biting and bunny-kicking. If your cat is a chewer, start with the Kebab.

Store it airtight, away from light and heat — exposed kibble oxidises and loses aroma within weeks, which is a common reason cats go off their food. The FreshKeeper uses one-touch vacuum AirSeal storage and holds up to 6kg of dry food (13L).

Right here — we stock NexGard Spectra Spot-On in both sizes: small cats & kittens 0.8–2.4kg ($89, 6-pack) and cats 2.5–7.5kg ($109, 6-pack), shipped from our Sydney warehouse. Dose by your cat's weight and always follow the label directions.

Several products, yes. The Aqua Pro II fountain is designed for cats and small dogs. The FreshKeeper keeps dry dog food fresh too — just never store cat and dog food in the same container, as their nutritional formulas are different (grab one for each). And small dogs curl up in the Calming Donut Bed just as happily as cats do. We also have a dedicated dog range.
