I just adopted a kitten, and this is the pet tech I'm buying this Black Friday

Our current water fountain is too small for two cats, so I'll be upgrading to this one from Petcube. Stainless steel is more resistant to bacteria, mold, and germs, so I'm choosing this option over the ceramic model. 

Review: This smart pet fountain is like a Brita for cats - here's why

This water fountain features smart technology, including light cues that indicate when the tank needs refilling or when the battery is low, as well as a water purification system equipped with a UV-C light to filter out impurities from your pet's water, ensuring the cleanest hydration. 

I already have a Whisker Litter-Robot 4, but I recommend that every cat parent purchase one this Black Friday. It has significantly changed my life in that I no longer scoop poop daily, and I can keep an eye on my cats' health with the app, which tells me how often they use the litter box. 

Review: I made the switch to a smart litter box, and my cat loves it

This bundle offers you $100 off the device, along with an extended three-year warranty that covers accidental damage, power surges, mechanical and electrical breakdowns, and software support.

I always trusted my one cat not to get into trouble when we're away from home, but now with a kitten, I know there will be mischief. This 360-degree camera features a 1080p live view and 4x zoom, allowing me to see what the cats are up to while we're away. 

Also: Everything you need for a smart pet setup

The treat-dispensing feature is a bonus, allowing them to be rewarded for good behavior. There is also two-way audio and intelligent alerts that can be sent to an accompanying app. 

We already have one air purifier in our home (the Blueair PetAir Pro, which is also on sale), but with double the fur, our house will need another air purifier. I like the Blueair brand because it is affordable, quiet, and I notice less pet hair when it's running. 

Also: My cat loves this smart air purifier that doubles as a pet bed

Blueair says this air purifier removes 99.97% of airborne particles, including viruses and bacteria, dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold. This particular model can clean spaces of up to 465 square feet in 30 minutes or 926 square feet in one hour when set to its highest setting. 

Unfortunately, we've found that our new kitten loves food a little too much and is stealing from his brother. To help combat this, I'll be trying out an automatic feeder that comes with an RFID collar tag sensor, so that only the cat wearing the tag can unlock the food bowl to eat.

The feeder connects to an app that allows you to see who ate what, when, and how much, and you can schedule meals right from your phone. 

Playtime is so important for cats to provide mental stimulation, exercise, and stress relief. And with a new cat in the house, there is a lot of stress. I will be buying this interactive toy so that Norbert and Gilligan can get used to playing together in the same room and bond. 

Also: Getting a dog? 4 gadgets you absolutely need

This interactive cat chase toy features a customizable rope, providing your cat with ample space to run and play. The toy features random, unpredictable movements with simulated mouse sounds to pique cats' interest and stimulate their hunting instincts. 

We live in the Midwest, where the winters can get ruthlessly cold, so I will be snagging this 23% off deal of this warming cat bed to keep both kitties warm this season. 

Also: This is the best space-saving smart heater I've ever used, and it's perfect for chilly nights

It has self-heating technology that absorbs, holds, and reflects your pet's body heat to reduce heat loss, ensuring maximum warmth without the need for electricity. Hopefully, it gets them to cuddle with each other sooner rather than later.
