On TikTokopens in a new tab and Instagram opens in a new tabKatie Beth Miedaner (a.k.a. @cappybears) shares the regular offerings of influencer content: night-time skincare routines, dancing to Taylor Swift’s new album, and reminders to wear sunscreen all year (yes, even when it’s cloudy!). As genuinely entertaining as all that is, there’s one thing that sets her apart from the rest of the internet: her blind and paralyzed cats, LeLe and Cappy, respectively, flitting in the background.
When they aren’t following her down the stairs (a common occurance in Miedaner’s home videos), they’re watching and sometimes participating in her self-care rituals. It’s clear that Miedaner’s prioritization of living a balanced yet pampered life extends to LeLe and Cappy, too. From carefully curated litter boxes to toys and grooming products, Miedaner gives us the lowdown on the products most highly rated by her cats.
“I always receive so many compliments when using this carrier. Cappy enjoys the view and LeLe feels extra secure in it. All the storage compartments make packing their supplies super convenient.”
“Every holiday season, I look forward to making paw print ornaments with the kitties. It is a super easy craft and a fun bonding experience.”
“These waterproof blankets have been a lifesaver in our home. They come in a pack of two and are the perfect size for cat lounging. They also make excellent furniture covers.”
“This box serves ‘cool cat parent’ vibes. It is easy to clean, comes with reusable liners, and is the perfect size for LeLe. Plus, it looks great and is very durable.”
“This is a product I didn’t realize I needed until I started using it. It sort of smells like bubblegum, and I mix in a few sprinkles to LeLe’s box each week. It does a really great job at keeping the litter box fresh.”
