Being a cat person, I have discovered a great upside to living with a family that includes a teenage girl: She brings home kittens.
Get the best squirt gun for training kittens
Not all the time, thankfully. Once is enough. But the new family kitten is fun. Unfortunately, he learned how to jump onto the table and kitchen counter, which means it’s time to train him. I have had many cats so I know how to stop a cat from jumping on counters. It requires an excellent, leak-proof, squirt gun that’s dedicated to training the kitten.
Even the best cat squirt gun won’t fix this on its own. Teaching the cat to stop jumping on things requires a squirt gun and a training strategy. But this little Nerf pistol is a great place to start. I will also share a reliable training trick, to go with it, that will make a cat behave without causing stress.
Associate the unpleasant squirt with a sound
What noise do you make to discourage a naughty kitten?
“PSSSSHHHHHTTT!”
Something like a hiss, right? (It is a cat’s warning noise so they pay attention to it.) Unfortunately, it’s not super effective on its own because they know you don’t have claws. In fact, it’s useless until the cat associates that sound with consequences. For example, a quick squirt of water, which is harmless but cats hate it. For that, you need a reliable tool. And a water bottle is not it. Those are inaccurate. A sidearm. That’s what you need.

The Nerf Super Soaker Zipfire Blaster is deadly accurate and never leaks.
Look out, naughty kitten, because Nerf is stocking the playground armory with an amazing line of Super Soaker pistols. Super Soakers made a name for themselves in the 90’s with their giant water cannons that changed summertime yard battles forever.
Today’s lineup includes fantastic handheld pistols.

The Nerf Super Soaker Zipfire Blaster fits in the palm of your hand, is durable, doesn’t drip or leak, delivers a deadly accurate burst to about 20 feet, and has a trigger response so fast you can shoot multiple squirts as fast as you can squeeze your finger.
This makes them fun for yard games and the best squirt gun for training kittens ever.
These pistols are so affordable that you can order multiples and locate them all over the house so there is always a training squirt gun handy when kitty misbehaves.
If Nerf invents a Super Soaker that gets the teenager to do her homework, we’ll order that, too. In the meantime, the Nerf Super Soaker Zipfire Blaster is outstanding for training kittens.
Get this excellent roller for keeping your pants free of kitten fur, too
If you just got a kitten, I also recommend adding the Chom Chom roller to your pet-tool arsenal. I once spent a crazy amount of time vacuuming pet hair off the furniture and carpets. But now I can get away with the occasional quick swipe to their favorite spots.

This thing is amazing. And it requires no refills like those tape rollers. (It’s more effective, too.) Seriously, just get it.
And this litter box robot that does all the work
When your cat gets a little older — and you are tired of cleaning the litter box — you will also want the Litter Robot. That thing has saved my sanity.
It’s expensive. And I’m cheap. But I have never been happier about spending money.
I’ll write a complete review of it soon. But the TLDR is:
It does all the work and the box is always clean and never smells. (It alerts your phone when you have to empty the bag. But that’s your only chore.)
The Litter-Robot 4 is the one to get. But you can get the slightly cheaper Litter-Robot 3 on Amazon.
