10+ Perfect Gifts For Cats

If you found this shopping list because you’re looking for gift ideas for a cat person, not a cat, fret not. Yes, this list is gifts for a cat. But, we also have a list of the Best Gifts For Cat Lovers that you can shop instead. That’s filled with cat-themed gifts rather than gifts for actual cats.

Catnip Infused Felted Balls

Cats love catnip. And they love playing with balls. So these Catnip Infused Felted Balls are a great gift for your feline friend. 

You can order them in a set of four or six with a “rechargable” tin. Within the tin is a catnip pod. The pod recharges the balls, although that does take 24 to 48 hours, and your cat will go back to playing with them like they’re new toys. So, if your cat loves these, maybe keep them on a rotation so there’s always a charged catnip toy ready for your cat to play with.

Lizard Cat Toy

My parents’ cat, Sox, absolutely loves playing with any lizards that get into my parents’ screen room. The lizards, as you can image, don’t love playing with Sox. So this lizard cat toy is perfect.

It moves, realistically, as a lizard would, so the cat gets that same stimulation … just not with a live lizard. And, it’s filled with catnip, which cats love.

Catnip Bubbles

Everyone loves bubbles. And now your cats can be part of that “everyone” with catnip bubbles. They’re basically bubbles, but infused with catnip oil.

They’re safe and non-toxic, so they can be blown indoors and won’t ruin your stuff. Although your cat being that excited over catnip falling from the sky might ruin your stuff, though.

Portable Cat Tent

Where we lived in New York, cats could roam outdoors. Here in North Carolina, that’s not allowed. They have to stay indoors … unless of course, they have a portable cat tent.

Put your cat inside, zip it up, then bring him outside. He’ll get all the fresh air and the opportunity to explore the great outdoors without without the option to run away.

Curious Cat Cube

If your cat doesn’t have a cat house, now is the time to buy one. And this Curious Cat Cube is perfect. Your cat can lay on top if she likes being in the mix, sleep inside if she prefers small spaces, or play with the plush toys on the outside.

What’s great for you is that it folds up flat. So, if you need to tuck it away because it just doesn’t mesh with your home decor, that’s really easy to do.

Cat Toy Wand

This is a gift for your cat, but it’s also a gift for you. That’s because this is a hands-free cat toy. So you set it up and your cat can swat at the attached bluebird all on his own. You don’t have to entice him by moving it around.

Yes, of course, we encourage you to interact with your pets. But, on days when you’re really tired, or when you’re at work, this is a great way for your cat to entertain himself.

Bread Cat Toys

I love bread. Oprah loves bread. And now, with these bread cat toys, your cat can love bread too.

This set of six toys includes a baguette-, croissant-, pretzel-, bread-, bun-, and cinnamon roll-shaped toy. They’re a little bit larger than traditional cat toys, so keep that in mind if your cat is particularly small. But, for an average sized cat, these are great.

Cat Window Bed

My parents had a similar cat window bed for my grandma’s cat, Hurricane, and he absolutely loved it.

You set it up somewhere that’s easily jumpable for the cat (don’t worry, he’ll figure it out). Then, he’ll just sit up and stare out the window all day long. It’s perfect for curious cats who always need to see what’s going on. Plus, the cat bed is pretty large, so it’ll be the right fit for most cats.

3-Level Turntable Roller Toy

If you want to get something that will entertain your cat for hours, this 3-Level Turntable Roller Toy is the perfect gift.

It has three levels (four if you count the head) and six balls that travel around and around without having the ability to be removed (at least, not by the cat). This is big enough that if you have multiple cats, they can all play at once.

Interactive Cat Feather Toy

This Interactive Cat Feather Toy looks like so much fun for your cat. Charge it and then it will roll around your home while your cat chases it (and the feathers on top). How fun does that sound?

This is the best option if you work outside of the home too because you can turn it on before you leave for work and you’ll know your cat has something to do all day.

DIY Gifts For Cats

If you would rather make your cat a gift instead of buying him one, we have a couple options for you. You could make a DIY Cat Grass Planter (alternatively, you could purchase a cat grass planter) or you could make your cat his own cat-shaped Christmas ornament (alternatively, you could purchase a cat ornament).
