One more vote for Flor tiles! When I moved into my current apartment, I bought one large area rug from Dash and Albert and one set of Flor tiles. I have two cats. The Flor tiles are doing fine; the Dash and Albert rug, not so much.

I am fortunate in that I have spots high enough that the cats can't reach them that get adequate lighting. But I stick to non-toxic plants just in case one of my cats ever finds a way up.

Just a reminder on catnip: it takes time for kittens to develop a sensitivity to catnip (and some never will) so keep that in mind when choosing a plant to distract them. I stick with cat grass because my two cats are only mildly interested in catnip.

I switched to World's Best Multicat early this year for the two kittens that I adopted last summer. The dust was unbearable--I stopped being able to wear contacts, and had a horrible hacking cough for two months. Fortunately my cats are not picky about their litter and adjusted quickly to the change...now if only they would be less picky about food!

I used an OXO travel mug for a few years, but I always felt like the lid was never getting properly cleaned. So I've switched over the classic Thermos Nissan travel mug. The lid is not perfectly leak proof, but it is sufficient for a regular drive. And the lid can be opened and closed with one hand and thoroughly cleaned. The Nissan mug also keeps drinks much hotter than my OXO, especially if I remember to preheat the container. And the whole thing fits into my car's drink holder. I'm very happy with it.
