Gift Guide for Cat Lovers

Gift Guide for Cat Lovers

Happy second week of Blogmas! For those of you who do not know, I recently adopted an adorable fur baby named Bella. She came with the name, but I mostly call her Belles. She is the best furry companion to have along for the holiday season and I cannot wait to share more of her in future posts.

For this Blogmas post, I have a roundup of holiday gift ideas for any cat cat lovers in your life. Whether your best friend or crazy aunt is obsessed with cats, this post will hopefully spark your imagination with some purr-fect gift ideas.

1.) Scratching Boards

Belles is absolutely OBSESSED with scratching boards. She particularly loves these rectangular cardboard ones with some catnip sprinkled on top. I have a few of them throughout the house so she can always access one no matter where she seems to be gravitating for the day. If you want to grab something inexpensive, useful and festive, Petco and Amazon carry some adorable Christmas-shaped scratching boards.

2.) Laser Pens

Laser pens are such an easy way to entertain cats! Most cats go absolutely nuts over them, and even just appreciate following them with their eyes. Just be careful to avoid shining directly in their eyes.

3.) Cat Mugs

Nobody ever has enough coffee mugs—period. So why not add another adorable or funny cat mug to their collection? Here are some great options from Amazon and Chewy.

4.) Chewy Gift Card

This is a great practical gift for a cat anyone who owns a cat (or pet, for that matter). Chewy is a great place to order cat food, litter, treats, toys and pet supplies for a reasonable price. Gifting someone with a credit for Chewy would be very useful no matter what.

5.) Meowbox Subscription

If you want to go for a more special or frivolous gift option, there is always Meowbox. This is a fun goodie box subscription service filled with cat treats, cat-related memorabilia and other random goodies for a cat lover and their fur baby.

6.) Mesh Cat Carrier

I personally LOVE this mesh cat carrier from Amazon. Not only is it light and easy to transport, but it is very breathable, flexible and comfortable for kitty. The one I have has a fleece lining and offers 2 hand straps or a long shoulder strap for carrying options. If you know anyone who is looking into getting a cat or needs an upgrade, this is a great option.

7.) Cat Leash

Come Spring, I cannot wait to take Belles outside for some bursts of fresh air. These cat leashes are great gift ideas for someone with an indoor cat who may want options to give their cat fresh air, especially if they have a porch or deck . Chewy and Amazon have great options.

8.) Catnip Toys

If you just want to get something small that any cat will be sure to love, catnip toys are a great treat. Amazon has many cute options.

9.) Self-Warming Cat Bed

Whoever invented this is an absolute genius. Cats not only love enclosed, cozy spaces, but they also love warm patches. This is such a great gift for a cat who seems to always want to sunbathe or snuggle up near the fire but also loves being cocooned.

10.) Custom Photo Item

Lastly, if you are looking for a really special item for your cat-lover friend or family member, you cannot go wrong with a custom product. Custom wall calendars, mugs, pillows, coasters or even tee-shirts with photos of the lucky fur baby are sure to bless any cat owner on Christmas. Vistaprint, Shutterfly, Snapfish and CVS are great places to get quality custom products.

What About You?

For those of you cat lovers out there, what would you add to this list? Do you have a favorite item that you or your fur baby cannot live without? I would love to know!
