We\u2019re starting with the MOST important category of Recommended Products first \u2013 which is the litter box. Litter box avoidance is the #1 reason why cats (including Bengals) are surrendered to shelters. Most of the time it is\n human-error that causes litter box avoidance. Please read our page on \n Litter Box Issues<\/a>, for more information.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get your cat started off for success!<\/p>\n

We love this\n Frisco Litter box from Chewy.com<\/a>. It has low entry on one side, and his high-sided for cats who stand up when they urinate (common Bengal trait).<\/p>\n

As important as the litter box setup is \u2013 the MOST important thing is YOU! We ask you human to PLEASE scoop religiously. Every AM and PM. And if you walk by and see that there is a \u201cdeposit\u201d \u2013 you should scoop then too.<\/p>\n

Most cats will hop right into the litter box and use it the moment you finish scooping. Why? It\u2019s because they LOVE a clean box.<\/p>\n

The golden rule is also +1 litter box more than the number of cats you have. So if you have two cats \u2013 you need three litter boxes.<\/p>\n

With a little diligence and commitment on your part, you will be setting your cat up for success \u2013 and a lifetime of perfect litter box use.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Clay litter has chemicals in it that help make it \u201cclump\u201d \u2013 the cat takes a bath, and now is ingesting those harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n

Because of the dangers of Clay Litter, we did our research \u2013 and we\u2019re simply over the moon about okocat Natural wood litter! Hands down, it is the top pick of all of our Recommended Items. It weighs 1\/3 of what Clay-based\n litters weigh, it contains no chemicals at all, it clumps like a charm, keeps odor under control, and it\u2019s easy on the budget!Please read this article to learn why clay litter is unadvisable:\n Is Clay Litter Bad for Cat Health?<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

We recommend both the \u201coriginal\u201d and the \u201clong haired\u201d versions. The Original version is closer to clay litter in texture, and the Long-Haired version is more like traditional pellets.<\/p>\n

The Litter Genie makes scooping more efficient, but we do not recommended you keeping it near the litter box as kitty noses are sensitive!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

You\u2019ll definitely want to get a carrier, for the first transport and also for Vet Visits. It also makes a nice \u201chideaway spot\u201d for your cat to sleep, once you put in some nice soft fleece. If you give your cat access to the\n carrier, and they think of it as a \u201csafe place\u201d \u2013 it makes it easier when you do have to put your cat in the carrier for transport. We like the Sherpa brand carrier because it is also airline-approved.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

We love Cat Ladies\u2019 Cat Grass, and your cat will too. It grows fast and is long lasting. Great for digestion and provides fiber that eases digestion.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with an oversized cat tower! We love these because they feature lots of sisal rope for good scratching. These are sturdy and all \u201ctree dwelling\u201d cats really love them. We like to put soft fleece on the perches\n and towers, making a more comfy nap spot.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

There are millions of Toys for cats \u2013 but we can all relate to cats playing with a toy only once \u2013 never to use it again. We promise these toys are the best!<\/p>\n

\n Yeowww! Catnip Toys<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

We have yet to meet a Bengal cat who doesn\u2019t go CRAZY for Yeowww Catnip toys! Trust us \u2013 there is no better catnip out there. And \u201cDa Bird\u201d by Go Cat is the gold standard in cat teaser toys.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
