Meet the People Behind Grandpa Whiskers
At Grandpa Whiskers, we believe great pet products start with genuine care.
What began as one man tinkering in his workshop has grown into a small, close-knit team that shares the same mission:
help cats live calmer, happier, healthier lives — naturally.
We test every idea on our own pets first, we read every customer message, and we constantly look for ways to improve. No big factories. No shortcuts. Just thoughtful products made with love, curiosity, and a whole lot of cat hair on our clothes.
Because when your cat feels good… your home does too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the sticks look different from each other?
