Your pet wants you to read our newsletter. (Then give them a treat.)
Getting your cat situated with a new item — whether it’s a fresh litter box, aesthetically pleasing cat furniture, or an upgrade to their harness from kittenhood — is never a walk in the park. In fact, the adjustment period from when you make the purchase to when they actually show interest in it is roughly the amount of time it takes to start shopping for something new entirely; when it comes to cat diapers, it’s the longest adjustment to date. That’s why we’ve simplified the task of finding one that your cat will enjoy by scouring Amazon for the most absorbent, comfortable, and secure fitting cat diapers available. Below, the cat diapers that have something to offer for every cat parent.
Btw, our editors (and their pets) picked out these products. They’re always in stock at the time we publish, but there’s a chance they’ll sell out. If you do buy through our links, we may earn a commission. (We’ve got a lot of toys to buy over here, you know?)
Designed for maximum comfort, the Hartz diapers offer multiple layers of protection against leaks and, combined with their outer shell, remain ultra absorbent. Ideal for cats of either gender, they offer leak proof protection for up to 12 hours, so you won’t have to wriggle your cat in and out of these contraptions quite as often.
The pack of diapers features an adjustable tail hole, as well as breathable layers and fur safe fasteners for extra comfort, vastly reducing the amount of times you’ll need to go through everyone’s least favorite process: bathing the cat.
If you have a cat who bounces off the balls — diaper or no — you’ve probably thought of all the ways they’ll be able to buck off the very diapers you’ve been browsing. Made with an elastic waist for extra stretch, these disposable diapers are a better fit for a cat’s body than many constructed with a velcro fastener.
Most of the diapers on the market are made for dogs, but these reusable pet diapers are an excellent choice for cats — especially those in heat or those suffering from incontinence, common in cats with diabetes, UTIs, and those having just undergone spay surgery.
Whether you have a cat with chronic health issues or adjusting to a new type of litter, these deodorizing diapers will do the heavy lifting of keeping your cat dry and your home odor-free. Made with baking soda, they’re a masterful way to trap the stink at the source by absorbing odor and preventing leaks.
