Cat Accessories

Cat accessories cover the everyday gear that keeps an indoor or outdoor cat safe, comfortable and occupied: collars, harnesses and leashes, litter mats, cat trees, and the odd food-related extra. This collection holds nine products from Ashario Pets, Rogz, Dexypaws, BuD'z, Messy Mutts and Snappy Tom, ranging from $2.19 to $193.50 CAD. Everything here ships Canada-wide, and same-day pickup is available at our North York store.

What should you look for in cat accessories?

Start with safety hardware. Any collar worn by a cat should have a breakaway or safety-release buckle so it opens under pressure if the collar snags on a branch, fence or furniture leg. Reflective stitching is the second thing to check if your cat spends time outdoors at dusk.

After that, think about surfaces and cleanup. Silicone litter mats with graduated spikes, like the one from Messy Cats, pull granules off paws and wipe clean, which matters more in a small condo than in a house with a dedicated litter room.

Collar, harness, or both?

• Breakaway collar — for ID tags and everyday wear. The Ashario Pets Reflective Breakaway Cat Collar in Small suits kittens and slim adults; the Large fits broader-necked cats. The Dexypaws Cat Collar is a plainer option if you prefer a solid colour, and Rogz makes an AlleyCat safety-release version.
• Harness and leash — for cats you plan to walk or take to the balcony. A collar is not a walking tool; a harness spreads pressure across the chest. The CatVenture harness and leash sets come in XS and S, so measure your cat's girth behind the front legs before choosing.
• Both — common for outdoor-access cats: a breakaway collar for the tag, a harness for supervised outings.

Do you need a cat tree?

A cat tree earns its footprint in homes where a cat scratches furniture or has nowhere high to sit. The BuD'z Savana Cat Tree sits at the upper end of this collection's price range and is the pick for multi-cat households or cats who climb. Single, older or low-energy cats often do fine with a mat and a window perch.

Rounding out the collection, Snappy Tom Lites Chicken & Vegetables canned food is the small-format wet food shoppers most often add to an accessory order. If you also have a dog at home, our dog accessories collection carries the equivalent gear.
