I’m officially ~on the prowl~ for the best deals on cat litter, toys, cleaning essentials, and other purr-ractical purchases — and these are worth pouncing on.

As a shopping editor with over a decade of experience working in journalism and digital media, I cover everything from beauty and fashion to home, travel, gaming, and pets, and I'm constantly saving interesting products on TikTok (in *very* organized folders, mind you) to share with BuzzFeed readers.

Prime Day can be *confusing* — we’re using our extensive shopping knowledge and tracking price history to give you the most accurate pricing information and vetted discounts/original prices. FYI, some of the “regular” prices listed on the sides of some listings are true original prices, some (when the best deals are Prime-exclusive) are lesser discounts that non-Prime members can take advantage of. We’ll let you know everything you need to know! 

FYI — deals move *fast*. We’ll do our best to keep this post and imagery as up-to-date as possible, but we can’t catch everything immediately. Check back throughout the week to see our latest updates as the deals change!

Note: To get the best prices on some of these deals you have to be a Prime member, so if you aren’t already, sign up for a free 30 day trial here.

Promising review: "As someone with two dogs and a cat, this vacuum keeps up with them. If you know anything about German shepherds, then you know they shed 😅 I vacuum every three to four days and needed a heavy-duty vacuum that could also be used on hardwood floors. This vacuum does a phenomenal job of collecting all the pet hair." —Angelica

My cats ADORE this toy and beg me to pull it out so they can play with it almost every morning. They love batting at the butterfly — its erratic movements drive them wild — but they also love laying on their side to catch the feather that zooms left, right, and all around. And sometimes when they're tired of playing, they literally just lay on it (as shown above)...they love it so much. Side note: I influenced my brother's partner to buy this toy for her cat, and even his senior pug ended up liking it. 😂

The fact that most of the feather toy is hidden underneath the patterned cover (so they can't see what's controlling it) is a genius design, and I'll also mention that my cats haven't been able to destroy this toy yet either — though the brand does sell replacement parts thankfully. The battery lasts a long time, and it charges conveniently via USB-C, which I appreciate!

It holds 20 cups of food, uses backup batteries in case of power outages, and is designed for stability so your mischievous felines can't knock it over.

Promising review: "We have very picky cats, two brothers — they argue, fight, and one always gives in to the other, so feeding has been a challenge. The issue has been solved with this separated-bowls feeder; both can eat privately while not watching the other, and peace has again come to the home." —Dave Robertso

These lickable cat treats are such a crowdpleaser — even Chicho, who generally turns his nose up at crunchy treats, loves to get in on the action whenever I offer him one of these lil' tubes. And considering it has an average 4.8 (!) out of 5 stars on Amazon and over 11,000 5-star ratings, it seems my kitties aren't alone in loving them. It's so easy to tear open a pack, and I love being able to feed the treat to them directly, like Go-Gurt. They also came in clutch a while back when Sneaky (who was later diagnosed with a low-grade form of lymphoma) stopped eating and was throwing up from his stomach being so empty. The Churu lickable treats were the only thing I could coax him into eating — and while they're not a replacement for meals, they're high in moisture and were able to tide him over until his vet visit. And if you have to give your cats medications regularly, these can help disguise the flavor. 

Highly recommend grabbing a dispenser for feeding these without getting the mess all over your hands — one per cat will make it easier (trust me).

Price: $29.85 for a pack of 60 (originally 37.32) — and shop all the Churu deals here

Promising review: "I cannot express how grateful I am for this incredible cat food. We were at a crossroads in our home, as my wife has always loved our cats but was severely allergic to them. Every time she tried to pet them, she'd have to immediately wash her hands, and if they slept in our bed, she would be up all night with sneezing fits. It was heartbreaking to see her struggle with this, and we were genuinely concerned about having to make a tough decision about our beloved pets. Then we discovered this cat food, and it has truly been a game-changer. Since switching our cats to this food, the difference has been nothing short of miraculous. My wife can now hold and cuddle the cats without any allergic reactions. The best part? Our cats can sleep in our bed without causing her any issues! It feels like a whole new world has opened up for us. I should mention that it might take a few weeks for the full effects to kick in, and giving your cats a bath might help speed up the process. But once it does, the results are amazing." —kyle

Price: $29.50 for a 7-pound bag (originally $39.58 (this is a Prime-exclusive deal; non-members can get it for $31.11) — and shop all the Purina Pro Plan deals

Note that certain features are added with the optional $6.99+/month Furbo Cat Nanny subscription (slightly cheaper if you choose to be billed annually), including the real-time alerts and video history. Without the subscription, you can still check the live view, interact via two-way audio, play with them using the attached feather toy, and toss treats. 

Promising review: "I got the Furbo Cat Camera to help me watch my cat, Morse, when I'm out of the house, because he's a rescue cat and has some behavioral issues. It's been a godsend to just open the app and see what he's doing, no matter where I am — if he's up to mischief, I distract him with a treat or speak to him through the camera. Morse also enjoys batting the attached feather toy, and the ability to rotate the camera back and forth definitely makes it a more intriguing game for him. I love being able to entertain him from afar; it's saved more than one houseplant already! Plus, the Meowing Alerts keep me clued in on his activity. He's not a very vocal cat, so meowing indicates there's something I should check in on. Highly recommend for cat parents looking for peace of mind and new ways to look after their pets." —Elissa

Promising review: "I’m absolutely loving this litter box. I’ve had THE Litter Robot for 4 years and I purchased this item a month ago. This one is so quiet and it takes up about half the space. My cats love it. I love that it’s so much easier to remove the bag. Since the entry is so much lower to the ground the cats don’t 'grab' when they jump out like with the other box so there’s less mess around the opening of the box. Also this has a lifetime warranty and my other box only had a year. I’ve purchased a new globe for the old box which was almost the cost of the new box. Oh yeah, and the cost is a lot less than the Litter Robot! I’ve already recommended this item to my other cat parent friends." —Christine S.

Promising review: "I can't stress enough how much this litter box has changed my life. It's incredible. I'll literally never scoop litter again. My cats love it too. I chose this over the Litter Robot 4 because it's easier to clean and I just love the open design. The setup takes less than five minutes as it comes assembled (just put the legs on) in the box. And you can literally derp clean this thing and have it back to normal in 5 minutes too. If you're on the fence, look no further." —Thelu's Knob

And while the tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately, let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now and took the photos above to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.

The XS–M beds are fully machine washable, and the L–XL beds come with a removable, washable cover.

Promising reviews: "Elderly cat loves this. Sides are not too high for her arthritic hips and fluffy enough to plop down on." —Nicole Greenough

"I had to come here and leave a review. I bought this bed for my overly sensitive, scaredy-cat that I adopted a few weeks ago. She’s honestly a bit of a mystery; she’ll start getting comfortable with us, then suddenly switch back to being distant and running away. She barely plays with toys and usually ignores anything new we buy for her. For context, we bought a similar bed a while ago from Petco. It sat right in front of her for three weeks and she never got in it once; she did make sure to pee on it though. The bed arrived just a couple of hours ago, and we’re genuinely blown away. Normally, she wouldn’t go near something new without days of sniffing; if she even accepts it at all. But this time, within just a few hours, she was already in it looking completely relaxed. I’m seriously considering buying a second one." —zinsou messan

Price: $19.99+ (originally $25.99+; available in eight sizes and lots of colors — discount varies by size/color)

To install, just hook the cat perch into the rail of the window, push the brackets forward until they rest against the wall, then tighten the thumb screws.

Check that your window matches the size requirements on the listing before buying! There's a helpful graphic (second photo on the listing) that shows the dimensions required.

Promising review: "My cats are obsessed with these window beds. I have now ordered multiple of them to have in different rooms. Easy to put together and sturdy enough to hold multiple 12+ pound cats." —Laura Williams

Price: $22.79+ (originally $32.99; available in two sizes and four colors)

Yes, that's cat diarrhea on the reviewer's nice white rug above. The Bissell truly works wonders.

Promising review: "I found the Little Green machine because of a TikTok video; someone was cleaning their car seats and the water was absolutely disgusting, so obviously I was like I HAVE TO TRY THIS. So I ordered one and it was everything I ever hoped and more! We have three cats in the house whose favorite pastimes are puking, peeing, and occasionally stepping in their own poop and running across the only carpeted room in the entire house, you know how cats are. Anyway, this thing works SO well it tackles all of that and every other mess I've made to date! It's small enough it doesn't feel like a huge hassle to store it or pull it out, but also holds enough water I don't have to constantly run to refill it. I think it might be magic and I have a slightly unhealthy attachment to it at this point. I'm not sure if its always the case, but the box came with a coupon for two containers of the cleaner through Bissell too, which was a huge bonus!" —Stephani

It also comes with a charging cable and a catnip pouch!

Promising review: "The flopping fish is my senior cat's favorite toy! I love that this toy is rechargeable and can withstand both his and the kitten's powerful kicking. I had a small issue with the toy's motor, but the customer service handled the issue wonderfully! I received an email response the same day and had a free replacement toy on my doorstep within two days. I have also purchased the sandpiper bird and their talking mice, and all of these toys are amazing!" —Jocelyn Buchheister

Price: $7.98 (originally $9.98; available in a carp or clownfish design)

The grooves on this feeder also help add enrichment to the meal, so it can help with fussy eaters / kitties who need encouragement to eat more.

Promising review: "I wish I had bought this five years ago! My older cat loves puzzle toys with her kibble but this is perfect to slow her down with her wet food. And because it takes them so long to eat, my kitten can also eat her (yummier) wet food nearby in peace. I don’t even need to soak the mats to clean them; food usually washes right off if you pick them up right away. I bought these only a week ago and they are used daily in this house." —E. Turner

Price: $12.71 (originally $16.95; available in two color combos)

It's a good idea to use this before you vacuum! This gets out embedded hair that even a vacuum can't reach. Just avoid using on delicate knits and fabric — it's meant for sturdier things like carpets, rugs, stairs, couches, cat towers, and more.

Promising review: "I love this brush. I have two dogs that shed a LOT. I am always vacuuming but felt like I wasn't getting it all out of the carpet. I used this brush and essentially got a small dog's worth of hair out of the carpet that otherwise looked clean. It works so easy to pull up hair that you otherwise wouldn't see. It's easy to clean because you just pull off any hair that sticks to it. The quality is great, and even with some aggressive scraping, I haven't had it bend on me. It's easy to store; I just hang it in my laundry room with my other brooms and pull it out a couple of times a week before I vacuum. This is the BEST pet hair tool out there." —Tony

I picked this air purifier up a few years ago to help manage the ~smell~ that sometimes wafts from my cats' litter box when it starts to get full, and to help keep my NYC apartment air cleaner in general. I'm also (lol) extremely allergic to cats, and though I get allergy shots for this, it's also nice to help cut down on the pet dander for myself and any visitors with allergies. This thing makes a DIFFERENCE. It cuts down on any noticeable smell from the cats, my air feels cleaner, and my allergies are usually non-existent in the apartment. Oh, and it's fairly quiet — it basically functions as white noise, which can be handy if you run this at night in the bedroom too.

Depending on your usage and environment, it's recommended to replace the filter every 3–6 months — replacements are available on Amazon. (You can see the difference between my old filter and a new replacement one above!) Note: Be sure to take the plastic off the filter before placing it in the unit!

Price: $45.30 (typically $59.96; available in two colors)

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman has to say: "After working from home for the last three years, I've realized how much I value the air quality in my apartment. I live in an older building (think turn-of-the-century old), and there are lots of little holes and crevices where dirt, dust, and allergens can creep in. Coupled with the terrible air quality we've experienced in NYC because of wildfires in Canada a few months ago, the air in my home often triggers a sore throat, congestion, and sneezing fits in the morning. I have two air purifiers already, but I realized that buying replacement filters is ANNOYING and surprisingly expensive. The fact that this Shark air purifier can clean the air and doesn't need a filter replacement for five years is just *chef's kiss*. I keep this in the small office off the kitchen to help filter out odors from cooking, and it does a fantastic job. It also comes with a scented cartridge designed to keep your home smelling fresh. (Unfortunately, the scent gives me a headache, so I don't often have it running, but it does smell lovely!)"

Promising review: "My daughter has two cats with very concentrated urine. We have tried everything: special litter, flowing water, auto litter box. Even though these all helped, it wasn't until I finally purchased this item for my large living area where the litter box was at that I know longer smelt anything. I might get and occasional whiff of something but it quickly vanishes. Also, fish smell — GONE. It does have a nice HEPA filter so helps with allergies." —TCM2020

The starter kit gets you the diffuser head and one vial of Feliway, which lasts 30 days — and the Prime Day bundle gets you an extra *six months* of refills, so you'll be stocked for a while. If you're not ready to go all-in on the big bundle, this smaller starter kit comes with two vials of Feliway (which will last you two months) for 20% off. Keep in mind that if you're introducing a new cat, you should *still* take proper precautions like keeping them separate for a while, doing smell introductions first, etc.

I recently used this in my apartment because I adopted a new cat (the cute brown tabby above!) and had to do a slow introduction with my resident cat — and I have to say, the day I plugged in Feliway, the hissing from my new cat pretty much stopped. While I was doing other things to help ease the transition as well, I do believe Feliway had a huge impact on calming both of them down and making the introduction so successful (months later, they're basically best friends).

Promising review: "I can’t express enough how much this has changed mine and my cats' lives. Merging two households wasn’t easy on the cats. One male cat had a hard time moving into a new house with new pets. He had terrible behavior problems and would cause us and the other cats a lot of stress. His bullying led to the other two cats having health problems. He would get into moods where he would chase and attack the others and would not let up. We tried everything the vet suggested to reduce theses incidences, but getting Feliway was the only thing that worked. He is a completely different cat now. He is calm and his outbursts rarely happen. He has become a couch cat and has turned into the sweetest boy. We couldn’t believe that this one product could fix everything, but it did. If he starts to act out again we check the diffusers, and sure enough, one of them will be out. If your cats are having any behavior problems or stress please try this!" —Kristine Spencer

Promising review: "This is the best litter on the market. I’ve tried cheaper versions, and I could still smell the ammonia from the cat urine, which is intolerable to me. I can go for a week without cleaning and not smell a thing. Fantastic product and worth the price." —Terri Evans

Price: $34.28 for two 6-pound bags (originally $48.98; available in three scents)

Promising review: "I’ve been using this cat litter for years now, and it has consistently been one of the best products I buy for my home. With three cats, odor control is incredibly important, and this litter does an amazing job keeping the litter box smelling fresh, much longer than I would expect. It clumps well, which makes scooping quick and easy, and it really helps keep the rest of the litter clean between changes. One of my favorite things is having it delivered on a schedule — never running out of litter is such a huge convenience when you have multiple cats. Even with frequent use from all three of my cats, it holds up really well and keeps odors under control. After trying several brands over the years, this is the one I keep coming back to. Reliable, effective, and incredibly convenient. Highly recommend for multi-cat households!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $19.43 for two 18.5-pound boxes (originally $32.39 (this is a Prime-exclusive deal; non-members can get it for $26.35))

I use this as part of my daily scooping routine, and it does a pretty impressive job at keeping odors under control.

Promising review: "Having had cats my entire life, I have tried probably everything on the market that claims to eliminate cat litter smell and nothing ever has done what this does. I have a male and female cat and I cannot smell litter after using this. No smell! It’s amazing!" —Meghan

Reviewers say it works for both small and bigger cats alike! One reviewer's tip: Make sure the side without the grooved lid is facing a wall so that cats can't jump out that way (the grooved side is what prevents litter tracking).

Note that if you have a senior cat with limited mobility, you'd want to provide a litter box with low, easy access for that cat.

Promising review: "We have three cats and have to manage a silly amount of cat politics. We've learned that having a higher number of litter boxes, and spread to multiple locations, cuts way down on bullying and helps cats to feel safe, [as they are] instinctively territorial about where they put their scent and feel vulnerable when they're 'in the act'. This cat box helps to be able to have boxes in rooms of the house where a cat box would feel garish, not to mention the litter mess. It took a little while for my cats to try it out, but they're using it now and don't get to kick the gravel out everywhere (I swear they do it on purpose)." —Dism

Price: $29.99 for the white and navy styles (originally $39.99)

The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic, nontoxic products for other passionate cat owners.

Promising review: "The cat grass grow kit came as described. It grew to an appropriate level within just one week... My kitties absolutely LOVE it and hate when I take it away. I cannot recommend this product enough." —Julia

I don't own this tree, but I've bought quite a few other products from this brand (Happy & Polly) and they're always super cute and high quality in person.

Promising review: "It matches my decor and is well made and sturdy. The top perch is cozy, and the cushion fits snug. The coffin beds also are well-cushioned to my surprise. It's a good height without being overpowering in the room, and I love the wood base, which gives it a nice look. I recommend!" —Brittany Johnson

Price: $87.99 (typically $109.99; deal available for three colors)

Promising review: "I purchased this kit because I have an 18-pound green-eyed, long-haired cat, whom everyone asks me about. 'Is she a Maine Coon?' 'Is she part Maine Coon?' I had no idea as to her lineage, as I found her struggling for her survival on the street and had no idea who her parents were. She turned out not to be a Maine Coon, but showed similar ancestry to rag dolls. Believable, as she’s very people-friendly and almost acts like a dog. However, the most important part of this test is the health reports. I’ve sent a copy to her veterinarian, so that we can be on the lookout for anything she may be predisposed to and to have the vet give suggestions as to how to avoid certain outcomes. I’m very happy with the test and recommend it to anyone with concerns about their cat’s health or curiosity about their lineage." —Madouc
