21 Essential Products For Maine Coon Cats

Maine Coons might be one of the most popular cat breeds out there, but they are also the hardest to shop for!

Here are the 21 best products for Maine Coon cats, in my experience of owning three playful and fun-loving Maine Coon cats.

Best Products For Maine Coon Cats

Maine Coons are large cats that require large litter boxes, beds, and other supplies. Since they are highly active and intelligent, they also need durable, interactive toys and climbable furniture.

They tend to play hard, so they need lots of durable toys, as well as high-quality cat furniture and scratching posts that can withstand their roughhousing.

In my experience, having owned three male Maine Coon cats (Pippin, Bali, and Mika) I can honestly tell you that the Maine Coon cat product market is packed full of cat products.

We have tried and tested the majority of cat toys and products out there, whilst trying to find out what suits our three male Maine coon cats the best.

1. Smart Cat – The Ultimate Large Scratching Post

All cats need a scratching post that is taller than their full length, so they can fully stretch whilst they are scratching their claws. The large scratching post by SmartCat is nearly three feet tall so your Maine Coon can stretch to its heart’s desire!

This cat product is made from high-quality sisal rope, durable enough to withstand years of scratching without fraying.

Finally, we also love this cat product because it is easy to assemble but also very sturdy, so even the largest Maine Coon will struggle to tip it over!

Here’s a YouTube video I made about my experience with this particular large cat scratcher:

2. CatGuru Infinity Cat Scratching Lounger

Cats use scratching posts to stretch and scratch but also mark their scent with paw pads.

Having lots of scratching posts around your home will make your Maine Coon less likely to destroy furniture, and it will also leave your cat feeling more confident in its environment.

I love the CatGuru’s large scratching lounger because it is great for vertical stretching, and its unique shape offers a perfect place to play or lie down. It’s long enough for Maine Coons, and its sturdy design means it will not slide around like.

3. Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste

Caring for your cat’s dental hygiene is important if you want your cat to live a long, healthy life. Regular brushing prevents gum disease and tooth decay (read more here), which can become serious and even deadly over time.

I love the Petsmile’s professional toothpaste because it can be used with a toothbrush, or applied directly to your pet’s tongue.

This toothpaste comes in three different flavors, so even the pickiest pets can find a flavor they enjoy:

• Rotisserie chicken
• London Broil
• Say Cheese

4. Premium Oxyfesh Pet Dental Kit

If your cat tolerates its teeth being brushed, consider buying the Oxyfresh dental kit. This kit includes:

• Water Additive
• Gel Toothpaste
• Three Finger Brushes

The water additive is a formula that removes plaque and tartar, but can also be added to your pet’s water!

Meanwhile, the gel toothpaste can be used with a finger brush to gently clean your pet’s teeth.

Oxyfresh’s dental kit is free of added flavors or sweeteners but removes bad breath odors and greatly reduces the risk of gum disease.

This is a great option if your pet’s teeth need a multi-pronged approach.

5. Kastty Premium Cat Water Fountain – 108oz

While you can offer your cat fresh water from a bowl or dish, running water fountains are the preferred drinking method.

This drinking fountain is elevated so it provides a more comfortable and ergonomic way for your cat to stay hydrated.

The shallow, stainless steel bowl is easy to clean and prevents whisker fatigue.

I love that this drinking fountain is wireless and comes with rechargeable batteries. This makes life so much easier!

The pump is also quiet and low energy and automatically turns off if the dish runs out of water, which is ideal if you are trying to save some pennies.

This cat water fountain is that it has two sensor modes for an energy-saving option.

6. Retro Shaw Cat Toys – Cat Wand

Maine Coons need lots of interactive toys, as well as at least thirty minutes of playtime each day.

If you are looking for ideas here’s my short Youtube video showing you how to use a cat toy to entertain your Maine Coon cat! My Maine Coons love to jump and catch this cat toy!

We love the Retro Shaw’s cat toy kit so much – it comes with a wand, a spring, and a ball. The wand and spring are made from long, rainbow cords that provide hours of fun, especially if you attach them to a doorknob or windowsill.

The interactive ball is made from soft material and includes a bell inside to stimulate your cat’s senses.

7. Mau Modern Cat Tree

The Maine Coon cat is known for having lots of energy, and their strong climbing instincts mean that a cat tree is an absolute must for every Maine Coon cat owner.

However, most cat trees are too short and flimsy or do not have large enough sleeping baskets to comfortably fit your ever-growing Maine Coon cat.

Thankfully, the MAU’s large cat tree is both stylish and functional – this cat tree comes with two large baskets, as well as a cozy sleeping hut. The sleeping basket cushions are removable and machine washable.

The unique, real wooden beams are wrapped with premium sisal rope, and look much more natural than most cat trees.

I also LOVE these epic and large Maine Coon cat trees.

8. Petkit Self-Cleaning Litter Box

The PETKIT’s PURAMAX litter box is a dream come true for Maine Coon owners. This spacious litter box is made from TPE rubber, which is easy to clean and keeps your cat’s litter box fresh with very little maintenance required.

The best part about this litter box, though, is the fact that it’s self-cleaning! This machine uses various sensors, so cleaning immediately stops when it senses your cat is nearby.

I love that this litter box connects to Wi-Fi and can tell you how often your cat frequents the litter box, as it enables me to monitor their health more easily.

9. Catit Large Hooded Litter Tray

If you are looking for a more classic litter box that will fit your enormous Maine Coon, look no further than the Catit’s jumbo litter box!

This is a must-buy cat product for all Maine Coon cat owners since this huge litter pan comes with a removable hood and a two-way plastic door that helps keep in all the smelly odors!

The hood on top lifts off, so you can clean it without the hassle of deconstructing the entire litter box. In my experience, this makes the litter tray cleaning process far easier.

This cat litter tray is fantastic because it comes with a replaceable carbon filter so you can keep smells to a minimum. It also has a built-in anchor at the front, so you can simply clip a bag to the litter box while you are cleaning – very handy!

10. Pieviev Cat Litter Trapping Mat

This litter mat is hands-down the best cat litter trapping mat around, and it’s been a game changer in my utility room where the cat litter box resides. Since having this mat, zero cat litter has left our utility room. This mat is worth its weight in gold.

Even the best-designed litter boxes cannot prevent the spray of litter that occurs whenever your cat finishes its business, so get the Pieviev litter mat!

This litter mat comes in two layers; one solid layer below, and a honeycomb pattern on top.

Litter falls in through the holes at the top and gets trapped beneath. That way, you can simply tilt the mat over your garbage can instead of constantly sweeping around the litter box every day.

11. Purina One Bifensis High Protein Cat Food

All cats need high-quality food that is high in protein, but this is even more true for the large and active Maine Coon. Without enough protein, your cat can become malnourished, and may not even grow to its full size!

Natural Balance is a dry food that is high in protein and low in filler carbs. They strive to provide pet food with simple, limited ingredients, which is important for pets with allergies.

Their high-protein cat food is high-quality dry food that is free of grains and artificial colors and flavors.

12. Prutapet Large Cat Travel Case

All cats need a sturdy carrier for vacations or vet visits, but this can be tricky to find as a lot of cat carriers simply are not designed with the Maine Coon’s enormous size in mind!

That is why Prutapet’s large, soft-sided carrier is an essential purchase for all Maine Coon owners. This enormous carrier holds up to 55 pounds, and houses multiple cats!

It’s also ideal for longer trips because it has a collapsible litter box and water dish.

13. Petstages Tower Tracks

Maine Coon cats become bored if they do not have enough toys to keep their paws and minds busy.

The Petstages’ tower tracks toy is a three-tiered tower with two balls on each tier. Set it out on the floor while you are away from home, and your clever cat will spend hours swatting the balls and watching them spin around!

I love that this cat toy satisfies the Maine Coon’s natural hunting instincts and provides a fun challenge for cats that might be feeling bored.

14. Happi Pets Cat Grooming Arch

The Happi N Pets grooming arch is the perfect purchase because the grooming arch comes with a sturdy base and a long, wire brush that your cat uses to scratch all of those hard-to-reach places.

Instead of your cat shedding fur everywhere, the grooming arch picks up a large portion of your cat’s shed fur.

This grooming arch also comes with a packet of catnip to encourage your cat to use the brush.

15. Kitty Citty Premium Catnip

Catnip and silvervine are two herbs known to make cats go crazy. While cats can react very differently to catnip, they tend to become extra playful and excited.

Why not buy a huge bag of Kitty City premium catnip and sprinkle it all over your cat’s favorite toys! This catnip only uses safe, all-natural ingredients so your cat can enjoy catnip without any danger.

Maine Coons get bored easily, so freshening up their toys with a sprinkle of catnip can breathe some life back into toys they used to love.

Here is a great Youtube video of our male Maine Coon cat playing with a premium catnip-infused cat toy!

16. Silvervine Sticks – Cat Nip Toys

If you are looking for toys to keep your cat’s attention, try YWAOOH’s Silvervine toys. Similarly to catnip, silvervine is a herb that stimulates cats’ senses and fills them with playful energy.

These cat toys are made with silvervine sticks wrapped in hemp with some raffia grass for extra fun.

These toys cause the common euphoric feeling associated with silvervine, but also encourage chewing which is great for cats who are teething or suffering from dental problems.

17. Hertko Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush

Maine Coons are known for shedding a lot, but with Hertzko’s self-cleaning slicker brush you can make the grooming experience more soothing for everyone involved.

This brush uses round bristles, safer for your pet’s skin than stiff wire brushes. The Hertzko brush also collects fur in its bristles.

When you push the button at the top of the brush the bristles retract, allowing all of the hair to come out in one smooth piece, so you can dispose of it without the hassle of picking through the bristles yourself.

18. Travel Cat Harness And Leash

If your Maine Coon seems restless indoors, purchase a large harness and leash set by Travel Cat.

Maine Coons are easy to train, so make sure you use our guide to learn how to train your gentle giant to walk in a harness or leash. This is a great way to exercise your cat and provide extra enrichment.

Cats are so flexible so ensure you buy your cat the most secure harness available. Be aware that cats can wriggle out of harnesses that aren’t a secure fit. This issue is unlikely to affect the Travel Cat’s harness.

Made with soft, breathable mesh and adjustable straps, the Travel Cat harness is sturdy and safe without being tight or uncomfortable.

19. Petfusion Memory Foam Pet Bed

Finding a cat bed that fits a Maine Coon is no easy task, which is why we recommend using PetFusion’s memory foam dog bed, instead. This bed is big enough and also extra comfy!

Memory foam beds are perfect for older cats suffering from arthritis or joint problems, which is how we discovered it in the first place, as our senior Maine Coon suffered from arthritis and hip dysplasia.

The raised sides of the bed make comfy pillows so your cat can sleep in about any position it wants to.

Additionally, the cover is removable and machine washable so you will not have to worry about fur shedding or accidents.

20. Best Friends By Sheri – Cat Doughnut Bed

If you are looking for a comfy, unobtrusive cat bed, look no further than the Best Friends by Sheri’s original doughnut bed. This pet bed is designed for cats and dogs, so comes in any size you could possibly need, and also comes with a blanket!

The raised sides provide a comfy, secure-feeling place for your pet to sleep.

The doughnut bed is made with soft, shaggy material and is availabe in fifteen different colors so you will easily find a color that matches your decor.

The outside of the bed also unzips so you can throw it in the wash whenever you need to.

21. Bebobly Cat Wall Steps

Maine Coons are athletic cats needing plenty of space to climb, run, and jump.

If you’re worried your Maine Coon might be feeling crowded or pent-up, get some BEBOBLY’s reversible wall-mounted shelves.

These shelves allow you to make the most of your vertical space, so even the tiniest apartment can be transformed into a cat’s paradise!

These stairs are wrapped in sisal rope to encourage climbing and scratching.

Overall, BEBOBLY’s sturdy wall-mounted designs are ideal for Maine Coon owners who are looking to add more climbing opportunities for their cats, to their homes.
