I you’re on the hunt for something to please the cat-owner in your life this holiday season, we at Reviewed have you covered. We test pet products year-round, from cat litter to the best robot vacuums for pet hair that can make daily cleanup easier.

If you need suggestions for the cat mom (or dad!) on your list, explore the options we’ve chosen, including a self-cleaning litterbox and adorable cat slippers.

It might seem obvious, but one of the biggest expenses with cat care can be keeping their litter box clean and keeping the home smelling fresh in in the process—which is why PrettyLitter makes such a great gift. It’s a subscription-based service, so you can set your giftee up for multiple months. We tested PrettyLitter for its health benefits, but one of our tester’s main takeaways was the convenience and low maintenance, easy cleanup.
