If your cat has an affliction with your carpets, a floor scratcher is best. The PetKit 4-in-1 Cat Scratcher combines a scratching post, a ball track toy, fresh catnip and a bell. Remember, if your kitten is exhibiting negative behaviour, such as scratching furniture, spraying, aggression and over-grooming, these are signs that they are in need of stimulation and training.

Customer review: "Uses the scratch mat, likes to sit inside and has played. Portable. Easy to put together. The only reason for 4 stars, it doesn't always stay clipped together when I pick it up."

If you've tried everything, but your cat just cannot resist scratching your sofa, why not meet in the middle and purchase a Sofa Cat Scratcher? This scratching post from BigPurr is designed to sit on the corner of your sofa and has four different colours available.

Customer review: "Exactly what I wanted. Really good quality and came with very clear instructions on how to put it up! The delivery was also faster than I expected, and it came in lovely eco-friendly packaging which is always a bonus."

This is without a doubt the cream of the crop. Affordable, easy to set up, and it's ultra-silent, so you can keep it running throughout the day without worrying about the noise. We also love that the Cat Water Fountain with Water Level Window is environmentally friendly and has three different water flow settings.

Customer review: "Looks good and is easy to assemble and clean. Very handy to have a display on the outside which lets you know the water level."

The TOMXCUTE Cat Water Fountain is a brilliant water fountain offering your pet a source of filtered water. We love that it comes with an upgraded pump and three replacement filters.

Customer review: "We chose this fountain as our kittens are fascinated with sinks and taps but did not drink water much from a bowl. This one does have the look of a sink with a tap. They both use the fountain and seem to like the running water and seem to drink more since we got it."

The BINGPET Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash is escape-proof and stands out due to its large sizing range and low price point. To get the perfect fit, make sure to measure your cat's girth snug against its fur. Then add two to six inches to that measurement for comfort.

Customer review: "I am really glad I bought these and would definitely recommend the harness for any size cat."

Although you can teach an older cat how to wear and use a harness, it's recommended you try to start as young as possible. Therefore, the rabbitgoo Escape-Proof Cat Kitten Harness with Leash Set is ideal for kittens. The vest style makes sure to distribute pressure to avoid the neck because kittens are very energetic.

Customer review: "This harness is really good quality and value for money. My Maine Coon is six months old and weighs 5kg and the extra small is still a little too big, but he still wears it for an adventure around the garden. It is easy to put on as it is not too tight to get over his head. I would recommend this harness."

If you need a cat mat that generates warmth and is totally portable, the Mora Pets Self-Heating Blanket Bed for Cats is an ideal choice. It becomes active when your cat lies on it, reflecting and preserving their body heat, plus there's no electric connection. The mat contains three layers of tested self-heating material and can be easily washed.

Customer review: "What can I say? My cat seems to LOVE this thing. She's spent the majority of her time since it arrived curled up on it no matter where I put it. It's soft, quite thick and definitely seems to keep her nice and warm which is obviously great for the upcoming cold months. I'm not afraid of her damaging it in any way, it seems to be hard-wearing and sturdy; there's no signs of wear so far and my cat has been making biscuits on it daily since it arrived."

If you are looking for a bed to match your cat's sassiness, then look no further than this stylish Petnap Heated Cat Bed with Leopard Print Design. The heat pad can be removed to clean in the washing machine and is powered by electricity.

Customer Review: "My Siamese adores his heated bed. He spends a lot of time in it and it's just the right size for him as he isn't a big cat. Its cover is easily removed for washing and I've had one of these for nearly three years. l I leave it on day and night and so far, it's never failed to keep warm."

This Jumbo Pink Hooded Kitten Litter Tray has a rounded ergonomic design that will suit your fur baby perfectly. It's hooded, in case they're a little nervous, but the translucent flap door means you'll be able to keep an eye on them, and them on the lookout for you.

This Amazon Basics Round Pet Bed is great if you're looking for something that's value for money but will keep your cat happy.

Customer review: "Love these bowls. Ideal size for a kitten as low to the ground. Nice and sturdy."

This pretty pink Mason Cash Cat Saucer is heavy ceramic, so won't slip if a hungry cat is over-zealous when eating. It's made from quality stoneware that is dishwasher, microwave and freezer-proof.

Customer review: "Perfect size, fit in a full cat food sachet, shallow so easy for cats to eat out of. I love the design with embossed paw prints around the outside edge and these are really easy to clean which I love, as makes my life a lot easier."

Sometimes, we want to treat our cats but don't always have the space. This Petface Two Tier Cat Play Station is a perfect smaller option that will fit cosily in an apartment or small house.

Customer review: "Very easy to assemble and the kittens love it! Perfect starter scratching post and tower to keep them occupied and prevent them ripping apart my other furniture! Would definitely buy again."

Another perfect small option, this Pets at Home Hudson Hammock Cat Tower has a hammock for your pet to cosy up in. It's snug and small but has three levels for your kitty to climb up to.

Customer review: "Super easy to assemble and my five-month-old kitten loves it, particularly the scratching posts. He's not so keen on the hammock bit but maybe he'll change his mind! Excellent value for money."
