10/29/2026 National Cat Day!

October 29th is National Cat Day; however, if you own a cat (or are owned by a cat), you know EVERY DAY is Cat Day.

To help you celebrate your fierce feline, Fiona the cat helped me compile a list of her favorite treats, toys, and grooming essentials.

Treats:

Toys:

  • Silvervine Sticks for Cats. These are her favorite toys. She carries them around, meows, and gnaws on them.
  • Bird Toys (with Catnip)- She “hunts” these and brings them to us.
  • Cat Laser– the classic toy, still a favorite.

Grooming:

  • Brush with a fur-release button
  • Equigroomer– I discovered this from the Girl with Dogs, and it’s really great for getting the undercoat out in the spring or when the weather changes. It’s also good for dogs (and horses).
  • Grooming wipes– Sometimes Fiona is stinky and needs to be cleaned up, but a full bath isn’t feasible. These wipes definately help.

Just for fun, I made a kitty coloring packet. You can download the PDF for free here.

Talk Back: I want to hear about your kitties must haves!
