🕵️‍♀️ Foster Cat Investigation Report:

Object discovered: Cat Cave Bed
Initial reaction: Suspicious 👀
Five minutes later: Entered cautiously 🐾
Ten minutes later: Refusing to leave and telling everyone about it😴

Many cats love cave-style beds because they provide warmth, security, and a cozy hiding spot where they can relax and recharge. Watching foster cats discover a cat cave for the first time is one of our favorite things!

🎣 Why does your cat go absolutely wild for wand toys?

Wand toys do more than entertain—they tap into your cat's natural hunting instincts! Chasing, stalking, pouncing, and catching help provide mental stimulation, physical exercise, and confidence-building fun.

Just 10-15 minutes of interactive play each day can help reduce boredom, burn energy, and strengthen the bond between you and your cat. ❤️🐱

Stop by Smitten Kitten and check out our selection of wand toys. Your cat's inner tiger will thank you!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there—including the cat dads. 🐾💙

The dads who scoop the litter box without complaint.
The dads who say, "We're not getting another cat" and then become the cat's favorite person.
The dads who share their recliner, their snacks, and occasionally their side of the bed.

Thank you for every toy tossed, every treat given, every vet visit attended, and every lap offered for an afternoon nap.

Today, we celebrate all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and pet dads who make life a little more comfortable, a little more fun, and a whole lot more loved.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Smitten Kitten! 😻

☀️ Summer is here, and so are the bright colors!

Did you know your cat can rock a fresh summer look, too? Cat nail caps are a safe, fun way to add a pop of color while helping protect furniture, curtains, and skin from sharp claws.

From beachy blues and sunshine yellows to bright pinks and tropical greens, we've got colors to match every feline fashionista's personality.

Stop by Smitten Kitten and let your cat show off their summer style—because every season deserves a fresh manicure!

If cats could write shopping lists, we're pretty sure Churu would be at the top. 😹

These lickable treats have earned a cult following among felines everywhere. They're perfect for rewarding good behavior, distracting your cat during nail trims, sneaking in medication, or simply reminding your cat who's in charge of opening the treats.

(It's definitely not the cat. We checked.)

With a variety of flavors and a creamy texture cats can't resist, Churu is one of our most requested treats—and for good reason.

Stop by Smitten Kitten and stock up on your cat's favorite obsession. Just be prepared for the stare-down when the tube is empty. 👀🐾

Stop by and let us introduce you to your cat's next favorite thing. 😻

💕 Meet Tilly! 💕

Tilly is a gray-and-white fluff ball with one mission in life: getting as many snuggles as possible. Her foster dad says she’s incredibly outgoing, always seeking attention, and loves being close to her people.

In fact, she’s a certified shoulder cat, known to leap from countertops just to perch on her favorite human! 🐱❤️

Tilly would love to be the only cat in her forever home because she doesn't like sharing her people—but with all the cuddles she has to give, she’s more than enough cat for one lucky family.

Visit Tilly at Smitten Kitten in Ankeny and see if your shoulder is her next favorite spot!
