What would your cat like for Christmas? (Besides unrestricted access to the Christmas decorations, of course.)
A survey of pet owners shows that a little over half of people still shop for their pets in brick-and-mortar stores, but that a significant number of people spend their average pet gift budget of $25-50 in online stores.
Since 98% of pet owners surveyed will use pet blogs as a gift resource, we thought we'd give you our suggestions on just a few of the cat products that cats love!

Since 98% of pet owners surveyed will use pet blogs as a gift resource, we thought we'd give you our suggestions on just a few of the cat products that cats love!
1. Cat toys
Cats love toys and interaction with their humans, so giving your cat the gift of play time is always a good choice! Just make sure that any toys you purchase for your cat are used with supervision if they have easily detachable parts, ribbons, strings, elastics, small bells or buttons that can be swallowed or other choking hazards.
Catnip toys!!
Boca Rat |
Cat Amazing This simple maze toy provides cats hours of fun and learning. Cat Amazing is made from 30% recycled & 100% recyclable cardboard, and printed with certified metal-free inks. There are three levels of difficulty to continue challenging your cat.
Da Bird
This cat wand is irresistible! The lures are designed to spin through the air, making a fluttering sound that catches your cat's attention. Drag it along the ground, and it's pounce-able, whiz it through the air and watch your cat soar! Just make sure to keep this toy securely locked away from your cat when you are not supervising him - he may decide to eat it! Additional lures can be purchased that are different shapes - furry, puffs, and sparklers. Some independent companies and Etsy crafters also make lures that mimic insects and other critters which can be attached to the Da Bird wand - however, nothing beats the original!

PetSafe FunKitty Egg-Cersizer
This unique, adjustable food ball can be adjusted to the size of the kibble and the craftiness of your cat. Cats that need mental stimulation will enjoy the "thrill of the hunt" as they bat the ball around to release treats or kibbles, and overweight cats will benefit from having to work for their food, rather than grazing from a bowl all day. For some cats, there is a definite learning curve, however.

2. Cat beds
Cats love boxes, it's undeniable, so often a good choice for a cat bed is something box-shaped, or a basket with a cushion inside. Many cats like the curvy shape of egg or ball-shaped beds, and many cat bed manufacturers have taken a lot of these preferences into consideration. There are even cat beds made from suitcases and doll beds. There are almost as many options for cat bed styles as there are types of cats!
Additionally, cat hammocks, cat shelves and even cat canoes are fun for your favorite feline!
Cat Canoe |
Cat Canoe Handmade in the USA, this fully washable cat bed expands for your cat, keeping your cat snug and cozy. Its dimensions are 20" long and about 8" wide.
Cat Shelf Wall Bed
Looking for something that is not just your run-of-the mill cat bed? Here's a fancy, modern, wall-mounted bed shelf, found on Etsy. It has a removable, washable cover. Separate covers are available, even in your own materials. Other designs and floor models are also available.

Designed by a Registered Veterinary Technician and her industrial designer husband, these functional pieces are comfortable and design-conscious. Made 100% in the USA.

3. Cat treats and fountains
Cat It Design Senses Fountain |
Drinkwell or Pioneer fountains come in plastic or stainless steel in a variety of styles for around $40-80 each. Depending on the style of fountain or the material it is made from, both these companies have received both good and bad reviews. The Drinkwell Ceramic Pagoda Fountain got rave reviews from one of our clients. She prefers it to the Drinkwell 360 by a long shot!
Thirsty Cat Fountain |
Thirsty Cat ceramic fountains are unique pieces of artwork that also function as a cat fountain for $120 to $240. This company won the 2014 Cat Fancy Editor's Choice Award. You can also purchase coordinating food bowls and treat jars.
Freeze-dried chicken. Cats love it. No chemicals, artificial flavors, preservatives, by-products, fillers, or rendered meat.
Greenies Dental Treats
The only tartar control treats that have demonstrated enough benefit to have been given the Veterinary Oral Health Council seal of acceptance. Six delicious flavors to spoil your cat with!
Royal Canin Dental Diet or Oral Sensitive 30, Science Diet Oral Care or T/D
These larger sized kibbles make this diet ideal for offering as treats. The texture of these foods provides some mechanical brushing action when chewed, and the large size encourages more chewing than most smaller sized maintenance diets. Sodium tripolyphosphate binds to salivary calcium and prevents it from helping form dental calculus, and additional enzymes prevent tartar formation in other ways.
4. Monthly Subscription Box

5. Cat Furniture
Cats love to perch and climb, hide and snuggle, depending on their personality, and of course, all cats like to stretch and scratch! There are a large number of traditional, carpet and sisal rope cat trees out there, and depending on your cat's size and climbing ability, a shorter, broader tree or a taller thinner tree may be preferable for your cat. Just remember that, when choosing a scratching post, a cat likes to extend its legs over its head when scratching, so the bigger the cat, the taller the post should be to maintain its appeal! Additionally, some cats prefer horizontal scratching, so if your cat turns up his nose at a tall tree, a broad, low scratching surface may be more his style.
Lotus Cat Tree
This stylish cat tree is almost as much a piece of furniture as it is a climbing piece for cats. It has Berber carpet attached with Velcro, a Sisal pad perfect for scratching, and soft cushions with washable faux suede covers. It's a bit more costly than your average carpet-covered tree, but reviewers report that it withstands the test of time.
