7. DIY Tupperware Puzzle

14. Board Game Lounging

By flipping the lid of a game box, your cat has yet another place to lounge next to you as you work. Feel free to add comfy pillows inside the led for your cat as well. This is a great alternative, especially if your cat loves to lay on your keyboard.

15. Soft Paws

Instead of declawing your cat, this is a great alternative, and you can get vinyl coverings for their paws. Soft Paws is just one of many brands you can buy. 

16. Catnip Growing

Save money by growing your own catnip in-house, plus you'll have it on hand at a moment's notice for your cat.

17. Vacuum Cat Litter

How annoying and frustrating is it when bits of cat litter fall into hard-to-clean places? Now you don't have to worry if you screw a ketchup top to the end of your vacuum; you can get rid of every dirt or litter's hiding place.

18. Toilet Roll Tuck

If your cat enjoys rolling out the toilet paper in your bathroom by tucking in the roll the other way to face the wall, it makes it more challenging for your cat to unroll the toilet paper in excess.

19. Rubber Gloves 

Rubber gloves can do more for you than simply help you wash dishes. You can use such gloves to remove your cat's Hair from all the upholstery in your home.

20. DIY Cat Bed

You can easily sew two IKEA GOSIG toy baskets to make your cat their very own hideaway bed.

21. Flea Trap

Keep fleas away and your cat safe by lighting a candle. Fleas will come to the candle instead of your cat. Just remember to blow the candles out before you leave the house.

22. Shallow Food Plate

In order to keep your cat from eating too fast and throwing up, serving your cat's food on a shallow plate will help prevent that.

23. Double-Sided Tape on Furniture

To prevent your cat from jumping on surfaces you don't want them to, like your favorite lounge chair, you can line them with double-sided tape to keep them from getting on them. Cat's don't like to step on sticky things.

24. Food Pitcher

Use a plastic pitcher as a place to keep your cat food, so it makes it easy to pour when it is time to serve your cat their food. 

25. Dryer Sheet to Remove Hair

If your cat sheds excessively onto you and your clothes, popping your clothes into the dryer with a dryer sheet removes that excess Hair quickly. You can even remove the Hair by simply rubbing a dryer sheet onto the affected area if you don't have a lint roller, and it'll do the trick.
