A LICKI Brush
Buy it on Amazon for $18.95
This one caught us a bit off guard, but wanted to include it here. The LICKI brush is literally a tongue brush for your cat. As if cat owners needed another way to get closer to their cat! Owners can simply bite down on this external tongue and ‘stroke’ their cat with a large tongue.
