12 Perfect Gifts for Cat Owners and Their Cats
People often seem to care whether someone’s a dog person or a cat person, but both groups are great for being pet owners. However, having a cat requires plenty of time, dedication, and toys. Most cat owners already have the majority of things they and their cats need, so finding a gift that’s worthy and useful can be difficult. But the world is your oyster, and the gifting possibilities are endless!
Funny Cat Bed
Cats love leisure and a cozy place to sleep. Cat owners love funny and interesting accessories for their feline friends, so it’s a win-win situation! But don’t just go for any plain old cat bed, pick one that’s specific to the person (or cat) you’re gifting.
Picture-Perfect Cat Pillow
Depending on the cat, they’ll either love or hate this pillow. But the owners will definitely find it funny (and cozy when needed). These pillows are usually custom-made with the impression and shape of a specific cat. So find a picture of the owner’s cat and get it done. Some cats may get scared at first because these pillows are usually very lifelike.
Cat Socks (With Ears)
Who doesn’t love a new piece of clothing? Well, kids mainly. But the point is, these socks are purrfect for cat owners, especially if they come with ears. Want to play with your cat without toys? No problem, just wear these socks, and if the person you’re giving them thinks they’re weird, you can tell them that.
Indoor Cat-Watching Camera
Cats are sneaky creatures, and they’re sometimes up to no good. When cat owners come home from work, some fishy business may have happened without their knowledge. To help them out, give them an indoor cat-watching camera that they can set up and spy on their kitties while away. The cat(s) will be none the wiser.
Cat Slippers
For a truly unique and thoughtful gift, combine a pair of cat slippers with a pair of cat socks. Then, watch the cat’s owner go wild when they see the footwear. It would also be a good idea to give them slippers with rubber soles so they don’t gather cat hair from the floor.
Cat Grass Growing Kit
Cats love eating grass, be it wheat, rye, oat, or barley grass. These growing kits are ideal for cat owners who want to give their kittens a healthier diet. Some cats may be picky about this type of grass, so you may want to talk with the person you’d like to give it to first.
Cat-Shaped Storage Basket
A cat-shaped storage basket (or a cat fort, if you were to ask the cats themselves) is a useful item to have since you can gather cat toys and other stuff in it. In the end, the cat will likely spend most of its time in the basket, which is not bad.
Cat Mug
And not just any plain old mug with a cat image on it, but an interesting and unique one. The design possibilities are endless, thanks to modern manufacturing practices and 3D printing. Ideally, you’d want to give them a personalized cat mug that only they will have.
Knit Beanie with Cat Ears
There’s no denying that anything with cat ears is an automatic buy for cat owners. But a knit beanie with cat ears is next level, especially for cat owners who like to hit the slopes. Make their entire skiing (or snowball fighting) season by gifting them this timeless head accessory.
Purring Cat Toy
Young cats and kittens feel safest when they’re near their moms and sense the mom’s purring. As they grow older and more independent, the need for this type of affection reduces (though they still love snuggling with their owners). However, this toy is perfect for helping the cat feel at ease and relaxed, mimicking the feeling of being around its mother.
Tunnel Bed
Beds aren’t only for sleeping but they’re also for partying and exercising! Specifically, you’d want to get the tunnel bed. The owner can adjust and change the bed into whatever shape they want, and the inside of the tunnel is nice and soft, perfect for just plopping down after plenty of running.
Custom Cat Portrait
Bring a dash of personality into a cat owner’s home by getting a custom portrait of their cat done by a professional artist. Some options include painting a cat’s head and face over a royal figure and their body (e.g., a king) or getting it done in a funny or abstract style.
