I decided to take a look at the current best selling products under the feline categories on the Amazon shopping website.
So much more than books, Amazon has long become one of the largest online stores, offering a wide array of products. Window shopping in this huge website has educational merit, as it teaches us quite a lot about the latest fads and fashions.
Checking the list of best sellers gives one a fairly good idea about what cat owners are getting for their precious felines today. Ignoring products for dogs, refills and supplementary products, here are the best selling cat products for Spring 2009:
FURminator deShedding Tool for Cats
The Furminator is a bestseller throughout the year, but no time like Spring time for preparing for your cat's annual shedding. Not all cats shed their coat excessively, but longhair cats can be prone to more shedding than usual as the days grow longer. So, not a huge surprise really, seeing this item ranked so high.

Merial Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control for Cats and Kittens
Another Spring product here - time for flea and tick control preparation. Even cats that are strictly indoors can become infected - all it takes is a single microscopic flea egg brought into the house to start the vicious cycle of scratching. You can read more about cat fleas here, and about more flea control products here. Or click here for the product page on Amazon.
Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain
We have covered pet fountains before in a shopping guide. A regular best seller, the Drinkwell fountain is a great option for any home with a cat and the Platinum model seems to be a hit.

Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box, Large, Green and Beige
Why green and beige? that's about the only question to discuss when it comes to a self-cleaning litter box. Another popular choice all year long, the Omega large box is perfect for any cat owner. And let's face it, these nice neutral shades of green and beige are easy on the eye and look great in any room.

Feliway Plug-In Diffuser and Refill
Feliway's miracle solution is popular year round and for a good reason too. Every season is good for some calmness around the house, especially in a multi-cat household. The plug-in diffuser provides you with an easy way to use Feliway and people seem to be using it indeed, since the six refill pack is a popular item as well.

Petmate Le Bistro Portion-Control Automatic Pet Feeder
Not as high up as the pet fountain, but still high up, we find the automatic pet feeder by Petmate. Digitally operated, you can program this gadget-for-pet owners for the feeding regime of your choice. Le Bistro with its fancy French name, is a great solution for controlled feeding even when you're away, and obviously, it's quite a popular solution too. Click here for the product page on Amazon
Cosequin for Cats
A rather surprising item in the seventh place here. Cosequin is a well-known nutritional supplement designed specifically for elderly felines. Based on Glucosamine, it is meant to aid with joint issues, much like similar supplements for humans. Apparently, as our dear cats age, Cosequin is becoming more popular with cat owners.
