Suck UK01Suck UK DJ Deck
DJ Furball is in the house! Instead of scratching all of your records, your cat can scratch this [turntable](https://www.amazon.com/SUCK-UK-Cat-Scratching-Deck/dp/B006YR6EK8?th=1) ($35). The record is made of claw-friendly cardboard. Make it more fun by putting small headphones or a Santa hat on your cat.

Sleepypod05Sleepypod
The carrier is rarely a "happy place" for cats. [Sleepypod](http://sleepypod.com/) ($190) tries to change that with this design. If the cat learns to use it as a bed, they'll be less freaked out when the soft dome top zips on. There's a zip-up portal in the top of the dome so they can poke their head out, and the Velcro handle closure makes it easy to weave in a seat belt during car trips.
