The Top 10 Christmas Gifts for Cats

Christmas is a time for giving. Quite often we remember our human family and friends, but do we remember those who are the most devoted to us? Those who depend on us for their survival? I’m talking about our pets, in particular, our feline friends. They may not always show their love and affection, but those of us who have cats know they just express their love differently than other animals.
Here is a list of the top 10 Christmas gifts you could get for your cat. Each of these is readily available on Amazon and is guaranteed to make their (and your) Christmas a little brighter.

Interactive Laser Toy:

This is the perfect gift for cats whose humans are away at work, parties, or visiting family. It is motion-activated activated and can be used by itself or you can hold it to play with your furry friend. It helps provide needed exercise as well as entertainment.

Catnip-Filled Toys:

Any cat toy, whether Christmas-themed or not, is an easy and fun way to engage your cat. This particular toy “crinkles,” yet is soft and plush. These types of toys also help alleviate boredom and can help hone the natural predatory skills of your cat.

Heated Cat Bed:

Just like us, when the weather turns colder, our purry friends like to stay cozy and warm. A heated cat bed can be the ideal solution that will provide both warmth and comfort, especially for older cats or those suffering from arthritis. If you decide to pick one of these up, make sure you choose one that is easy to maintain and clean.

Cat Treat Advent Calendar:

Even though they may not understand what Christmas is all about, your cat can join the family in counting down to Christmas. This Advent Calendar is the purrfect way to engage your cat in a wonderful family Christmas activity.

Custom Cat Collar:

While not necessarily festive, a custom cat collar can be both stylish and practical. These particular collars are engraved with your furry friend’s name and emergency phone number. It is also reflective to help your precious feline friend be seen at night by headlights.
(On a side note, these are made in the small rural community where I live and they employ several of our local young adults, including some with disabilities. It’s a great business to have in our backyard)

Wall-Mounted Cat Climbing Shelves:

I’m sure we’ve all seen videos of cats playing on these. This is an excellent gift idea that will provide entertainment for your cat as well as those watching. This is a very practical gift because it offers a variety of options for exploration, exercise, and relaxation. It is also stylish and can enhance a bare wall by giving it a purpose.

Automatic Feeder or Water Fountain:

One of our biggest worries while away from home is the health and welfare of our pets. By having an automatic system in place, you can rest assured that your furry friend will have ample food and water. You can even find some automatic feeders that dispense a certain amount of food at a particular time.

Scratching Post or Cat Tree:

A new scratching post is a gift that combines fun and functionality. Cats love climbing, lounging, and scratching, and a well-designed cat tree can meet all these needs while at the same time, protecting your furniture.

Puzzle Feeder:

These items are becoming more and more popular. A Puzzle Feeder will definitely help stimulate your cat’s mind while at the same time, providing entertainment and challenging your cat to solve problems for its food.

Custom Cat Portrait:

A custom portrait is not really a gift for your cat, but more for you. Celebrate your feline friend’s unique personality with a portrait that will surely become a cherished keepsake. You can get these as fancy or as plain as you’d like and at a very reasonable price.

So these are just a few ideas and thoughtful gifts that a person could get for their furry friend(s). Whether you realize it or not, by giving your cat a special gift, you are further endearing him or her into your heart and strengthening the bond you share.
