If They Have A House Full Of Cats, Check Out These 29 A+ Gifts

Coming from someone who would rather receive gifts for her cats than herself šŸ±šŸ’•

1. A self-grooming toy if their babies need 24/7 scritches and scratches and they just don't get the fact that your friend can't do that while they sleep/eat/use the bathroom, ya know?

Promising review: "Now I bought this out of the fact that my cat likes to rub her face on EVERYTHING, so I thought she would like this and she absolutely LOVES THIS.Ā Usually you think cheap cat things like this wouldn'tĀ work, and I thought the same, then my cat rubbed her face on it and it was like holy cow this actuallyĀ works, like my cat actually likes this. A whole new experience tbh." ā€”Raychelle Schar

Get it from Amazon forĀ $4.99.Ā 

2. A Chom Chom rollerĀ sure to put their regular ol' lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till them run out ā€” this collects everything in a neat little compartment they simply empty out.

Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

My cats shed like it's their full-time job and let me tell you ā€” this thing is amazing. I used to vacuum my bed/rug/their favorite chair multiple times a week and follow that up with a traditional lint roller that I'd have to use 10 to 15 sheets of in one go. With this nifty tool, I give whatever I'm cleaning a few good rolls and then empty out enough fur to felt them few cat toys (I don't *actually* do that, but I could if I wanted to).

3. A tunnel bed should their bbs' love for toys only be surpassed by one other thing: sleep.

Promising review: "Just got this today and my cat LOVES it! I couldnā€™t even get it put together before she was running inside of it. I really love the fact that this tunnel isnā€™t noisy. It's so quiet! Itā€™s made out of fabric and not the loud crinkly plastic stuff most tunnels seem to be made out of. I will never buy another cat tunnel that isnā€™t covered with fabric. The only downside for me was putting it together. It was hard to get the zippers connected properly with a cat paw swatting me lol. I would recommend putting this together before your cat sees it." ā€”MikaraB

4. A box of Lil' Soups so when your BFF orders a three-course takeout meal, their cats can also partake in appetizers of their own.

My cats go WILD for these. So much so that I now give it to them like once a month because they will hunger strike for them if they know they're in the house. So far, we've tried the sockeye salmon, shrimp in chicken broth, and chicken and butternut squash which is, surprisingly, their favorite.

Promising review: "Ok my cat is absurdly spoiled. I tell him regularly that heā€™s a brat and that there are starving cats who will eat pate, but he doesnā€™t care. Heā€™s almost 10 and recently he really only eats the gravy/liquid from his wet foods. He eats these 'soups' like a Hoover vacuum. Iā€™ve actually timed it and he can eat one in less than a minute. The vet says thereā€™s nothing wrong, heā€™s just a pig. Heā€™s never even competed for food, weā€™ve had him since he was six weeks old. Iā€™d post a pic of the food but I canā€™t open one without being bombarded by cat yells. They look kind of like gritty cream sauce (ew) and smell like all canned cat food, vaguely fishy." ā€”Cat

5. Or a pack of squeezable treats that are basically Gogurts ā€” just in feline-approved flavors like tuna and chicken.

three different flavor packs

Tbh I saw these on TikTok and bought them immediately. My cats LOVE them and immediately ambush me whenever I pull them out of the cabinet. I like that they don't have any grains, preservatives, or artificial flavors or colors. They also provide extra hydration which is great for cats who don't drink a whole lot of water.

Promising review: "Now I haven't tasted it myself but from my cat's reaction, she loves it. She does not mind her manners at all when she sees the tube come out. I think she would rip my arm off the get to it if she could. She enjoys all the flavors. I started off letting her lick it from the tube but she got a bit messy slobbering all over it and me so now I squeeze some on a little plate and let her go to town. I sometimes use it to get her to eat her food but she is clever. She licks it off the food and leaves the apparently nasty food there. Anyway, I recommend them. My cat can be picky but she loves ā€” and that is not a strong enough word ā€” these." ā€”Tracy Brethorst

Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $13.76Ā (available in tons of flavors).

6. A self-cleaning Litter-Robot because as much as I love my cats, there are few household chores I loathe more than scooping their poop. Even worse, the little devils seem to enjoy watching me do it.

Litter-Robot

The Wi-Fiā€“enabled box self cleans, reduces litter usage up to 50%, manages odors with a carbon-filtered waste drawer, and settings can be controlled via an app on your smartphone. You can lock the buttons on the actual box so your cat doesn't mess with them; you can set a 3-, 7-, or 15-minute delay before the unit cycles (after your cat has used the box); and it'll notify you when the waste drawer needs to be manually emptied. Otherwise, just set it and forget it.

Promising review: "Buy one! They're amazing! OMG I love this thing, first, I was totally afraid of putting it together. YOU DON'T HAVE TO!! You pull it out of the box and itā€™s totally ready to go!!! Super easy to start up. Then this thing has changed my life. I canā€™t believe all I have to do is take the little bag out and refill the litter sometimes. Itā€™s so easy. I donā€™t even think about it. It tells me when to change it and I change it and thatā€™s it. I love this thing and am so happy with my purchase. Also one of my cats is super obsessed with watching it. He gets so much entertainment out of it. Win win." ā€”Jessica S.

Shipping info: This items gets free 1-3 day shipping in the US and Canada.Ā 

Get it from Litter-Robot for $549 (available in two colors).

7. A three-tier cat toy with polka-dotted balls they can bat at. One of my cats puts her arms on both sides and essentially plays a modified version of tetherball just with herself.

Both of my cats love this but one, in particular, just can't get enough of this thing ā€” especially in the middle of the night. More than once, I've woken up to her *punching* it and sliding it across the living room floor. She also loves to flip it over so it stands on the smallest tier and idk why but sure??

Promising review: "An instant hit in the house! My two highly energetic kittens loved the toy from the moment I unpacked it. I was thinking to get a similar cat chase toy with a scratching pad but I settled for this one at last and it may have been a better idea! It's a good toy for a multiple cat household as it has three tiers. A relief to know that the kittens can occupy themselves when nobody is home as this is neither powered by batteries or their humans. If only they stop attacking and my bathtub drainer when I am gone! Eww dudes! Highly recommended." ā€”Tammy S.

Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

8. An interactive treat maze for high-energy cats who could use a lil' mental stimulation. It even has three levels of difficulty ā€” beginner, intermediate and top-cat ā€” so your friend can switch things up as their cat's hunting skills improve.

Just hide some treats or food in the various compartments and let your kitty get to work!

Promising review: "I'm going out of town for the first time since the pandemic. I wanted my girls to have enough stimulation during my absence. I bought this with my younger more active/energetic cat in mind. She's not very food motivated but my oldest is. While the cat I intended to gravitate towards it isn't, I'm pleased my older and chubbier cat will be more active. She's been trying to figure this puzzle out for the last 20 minutes, moving all over the living room. I love it! Would totally recommend to other cat lovers!" ā€”CreatorCourt

Shipping info: Orders over $49 ship free in 1 to 3 days. All other orders ship for a flat rate of $4.95.

Get it from Chewy for $14.36Ā (originally $16.95).

9. A cat dancing toy that literally costs less than $4 (it's just a steel wire with some rolled cardboard on the end) but proves IRRESISTIBLE to kitty babies the world over.

Promising review: "This is the best $ I've ever spent on a cat toy. She goes WILD! Even GLADLY flew into a TV once cause she was flying after it. No harm, she just grabbed it in her mouth, trotted to the kitchen, and continued to chase! I don't know if it looks like a bug to them or what but I'm getting one for every cat owner I know. It's such a surprisingly great buy. I think even Big Cats would like this. Buy it now! It's only a few bucks :)" ā€”ShawnaO Reviews

Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

Get it from Amazon for $3.99.

10. A pack of all-natural matabi chew sticks ā€” a catnip alternative that's somehow even more tantalizing than anything their kitties have tried before. The pack comes with 10 sticks, so they won't have to break up any fights if they have multiple cats, either.Ā

Meowy Janes / Etsy

Meowy Janes is a New Jersey-based small business that specializes in catnip alternatives. They work with sustainable, family-owned farms to source their natural products.

I recently tried some of these out with my cats and they were a hit! TBH they've never really been super into catnip ā€” they'll play with it but they don't go wild ā€” so I was excited to see they were into these. They bat them around, rub their faces all over them, and ultimately, when they're done, hide them under a chair or in their cat condo so they can come back to them later.

Promising review: "I have two cats, one special needs almost blind kitty, and one very lovey-dovey, very vocal kitty. The special needs kitty has not warmed up to these yet, but she usually needs extra time with new things. But my talkative kitty just loves them! I scraped off some bark as instructed, and she gnawed, tossed, chased and altogether enjoyed them." ā€”Grace Cook

Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

Get them from Meowy Janes on Etsy for $11.85Ā or on Amazon for $11.21.

11. An interactive fort and assortment of toys, because ~statistically speaking,~ you have a better chance of success when presenting yourĀ feline giftee with 33 different toys instead of just one.

Promising review: "I have 8 cats ranging from 10 to 14 pounds. They all enjoy this so much!! Best money spent on my beautiful babies. It looks flimsyā€¦ but actually it works. My cats love to roll it around, jump on it, anything you can imagine." ā€”MU Kingdom

Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes).

12. A 72-inch cat condo (with 10 sisal scratching poles) so their kitties can spy on the neighbor's children and every leaf that dare falls off a tree.Ā

Promising review: "I have two cats ā€” one who's 18 pounds and one who's 10 pounds. They both love this cat tree. Received it in three days. I thought I would have to anchor it but so far no problems. They love being able to sit on top and watch everything going on outside. I have it in a corner and it is very stable and I don't think I will have to anchor it to a wall. They sleep on it and chase each other up and down on it all day. Would highly recommend this tree. I am 65 and put it together myself." ā€”Kimmie

Shipping info: Orders over $49 ship free in 1 to 3 days. All other orders ship for a flat rate of $4.95.

Get it from Chewy for $99.99+Ā (available in six colors).

13. Or aĀ multilevel towerĀ your friend will also enjoy as not only is there plenty of room for their baby to play, but it could also easily pass an industrial bookshelf instead of a cat condo.

Wayfair

I bought this to replace an old cat condo that had made one too many moves and was all wobbly. I was worried my cats wouldn't be into it at first since it was SO different from their old one, but after a few days they warmed up to it! TBH, I selfishly got it because it's so much more aesthetically pleasing than your typical cat furniture and it takes up wayyyyy less space in my living room but luckily they love it ā€” especially the little box which gives them a secure place to nap. To zhuzh it up further and make it even more appealing for them, I added four circular scratching pads that I bought on Amazon (I attached them with some peel-and-stick Velcro strips so when they wear out, I can easily replace them). Oh and assembly was pretty easy!Ā 

Shipping info: This item receives free 1-day shipping.Ā 

Get it from Wayfair for $74.99 (originally $137.99).

14. AĀ 12-piece set of spiral springs if their cats are ~basic~ and will play with just about anything. (PS: That isn't a dig ā€” I'm simply jealous because my picky cats would never.)

Promising review: "I do cat foster care and have 18 cats in my house right now (I KNOW!). They all love these ridiculous little springs. I don't get it. Because they roll and bounce, they have just enough movement for everyone to be running after them. BE PREPARED. They will be found under every appliance, door, and piece of furniture you own. Do yourself a favor. They are cheap ā€” order two packs right away." ā€”Mixed Blessings

Get the 12-piece set from Amazon for $5.59.

15. A fuzzy, purring cat toy that helps calm kitties with anxiety. If their pandemic babe simply can't be separated from your friend or their siblings for any period of time, this is certainly worth a shot.

The toy purrs for a solid two minutes when squeezed or cuddled so their cat can activate it on their own.

Promising review: "I was super skeptical but I'm glad that I was wrong. I foster kittens. Some love it. Some couldn't care less. The reason I gave it 5 stars is because my special needs kitten finds such comfort in this toy. Corey was diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. His motor skills, coordination, and balance were compromised in utero. He has head shakes and his back left leg is weak. He is my little loner boy. I was so happy to see him loving this toy! I just added four more on my foster wish list." ā€”Michham

Get it from Amazon for $11.98.

16. SomeĀ mouse-shaped feedersĀ that will keep their cats on their toebeans by encouraging their natural hunting instincts. All they have to do is fill them up with food, hide them somewhere in the house, and then let 'em loose.

Promising review: "YOU MUST BUY THIS RIGHT NOW. I heard about this product on a cat podcast (yes, Iā€™m that type of cat mom) and this has helped my girl in so many ways. Sheā€™s a Siamese so she gets pretty chunky, and I work long days so Iā€™m not there to supervise or give her regular meals. My cat also has the intelligence of a Petco goldfish so I was worried she would never be able to learn how to use it. On the very first night I filled the mice she started to understand that food came out when she picked them up by the tail. This has helped me and her so much; she isnā€™t bored at home, she isnā€™t overeating (and pooping), and she isnā€™t driving me crazy in the middle of the night for more food. I love, love, love this product." ā€”Emi Kusak

And here's more from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower!:

"I started a hunting system for my cats when I felt like they were getting lethargic during the winter. One of our cats was overweight because he would sit and eat the dry food left out when he was bored. With these he'll 'hunt,' eat one, and not eat again until he's ready to go hunting. I've written a full review on this clever feeding system before because I refuse to stop recommending it!"

17. A macramƩ cat hammock so visually arresting, it may just convince their fur baby to give up the Amazon box they've been calling home for the last month. Since it's made out of a bunch of strings, I don't see how they wouldn't at least be intrigued.

Oddball Cat Toys is a woman-owned, Rapid City, South Dakotaā€“based small biz from Anne Springer (and her seven cats) that's been selling all sorts of fun toys, collars, and bandanas since 2013.

Promising review: "Beautiful handcrafted cat toy. It came super quick, and is the perfect size for both my kitties to enjoy. My tabby is in love with this toy, she bops at it with her little paws, and chases it around all the time. My sphynx was a little more hesitant at first, but once she realized mommy wasn't going to get her in trouble for playing with this particular 'forbidden toy' (cotton swabs are her favorite but I don't let her play with them) she was all for bopping and chasing and chewing it lol. I plan on buying more in the future!" ā€”katherine810

What's included: ThreeĀ trending toys, two full-size treat bags, a collar, and a collectible box.Ā 

Promising review: "Butterbean loved the box! A perfect starter kitten box. We got to try different toys to see what he likes. He went straight to the balls that go around and around. He will play the top dangle but he loves batting the balls around and around more. The little pack of multiple mice are a big hit. Small enough for him to pick up and carry around everywhere. The mouse on the elastic cord is perfect. We attached a keychain ring to it and hung it on a door handle. Works perfectly him. Of course the treats are always a hit. The collar is a touch big for him but he will grow into it. The bell lets me know when he is about to attack I highly recommend this box!! A great way to get to know what your baby likes." ā€”FrogsnFlowers

20. A floppy robotic fish that only moves when their cat interacts with it. Once they get the hang of it, I guarantee they'll be karate chopping and bunny kicking the ish out of it.

The fish comes with a small bag of catnip as well as USB charger so you can juice it up whenever your cat kills the battery.

Promising review: "I'm never sure if a new cat toy will be received as well as I hope, but this one sure delivered! My three cats have been playing with it almost non-stop, except for when I have to take it away to charge it. One of them pretty much hogs it and the other two can't get near it, though they try. It took them a few minutes to realize that they had to touch it to get it to move when it stopped flopping, but once they understood it, they were off to the races. I can't speak to the durability of it, but since the cover can be removed for cleaning, I'm thinking it should last a long time ā€” fingers crossed." ā€”Amazon Gal

Promising review: "I saw this when browsing Uncommon Goods and purchased it as what I thought would be a gag gift for my sister. Funny thing is...it actually works! Comments from my sister: 'My cat made my laptop keyboard unusable by treating it as a scratching post and popping the keys out. I finally gave up and purchased a cheap wireless keyboard to use with it. My sister gave me this cardboard laptop as a gift, which my cat now loves! I wish I had known about this earlier as my laptop would still be intact.'" ā€”RedBirdWoman

Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wasĀ skepticalĀ about this product since I kept seeing ads for it on Instagram, and usually when I see Instagram ads the product is trash. But this thing works! My cat always tries to chew on the brush before, and now, after some light coaxing, he gets excited when I take the glove out! He's so playful that he still tries to bite the glove but overall it probably feels like some great scritchies! For the most part I use it with the 'grain' of his hair but I will go back and forth to loosen up his winter coat. It's satisfying to peel off the layer of hair on the glove.Ā The fact that my kitty actually enjoys being brushed with his thing is more than worth it. I HIGHLY recommend this product. " ā€”KB

23. An automatic water fountain for those with picky pets who refuse to drink from a regular bowl. My cats drank solely from *my* water glasses until I picked this up and now I only have to wash/refill it once a week!

A reviewer's photo of the white pet fountain and their cat

www.amazon.com, Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed

The fountain is super, super quiet unless it needs to be refilled in which case it gurgles. I honestly like that, though, as it's impossible to miss so I know I won't ever let it run completely dry. It also has a soft blue light that really comes in handy at night.

Promising review: "Love that this constantly rotates the water and has a filter built in. It can be so tedious not only replenishing all the bowls but cleaning them out when they get hair or saliva or dust in them. This holds 2L and self cleans in a way. I'll still clean it out for my own sake but can think about refilling and cleaning a lot less regularly. I have it hooked up to a smart plug so it runs during the day and turns off automatically at night when no one is in the room. It's really quiet and relaxing." ā€”Packy

Promising review: "My cat simply loves this! He dives right into it, sometimes even doing somersaults into it, and it has really held up nicely! He's 15 pounds, so he's not small, and it bounces right back into place after he pounces on it. It moves with him, and has provided hours of entertainment for him and for me! Highly recommend for active cats." ā€”Amazon Customer

25. AĀ plush anti-anxiety donut bed with a raised rim that keeps their kittens feeling nice and secure. The fluffy material also mimics cat fur, so it feels like they're cuddling their mom.

Both of my cats took to this as soon as we got it. They store their toys in there, nap in there, and make a wholeeee lot of biscuits. They have a few beds that they use but this one seems to be their favorite and I think the high walls are definitely why. Sometimes they use the sides as a pillow and other times they bury their heads into the interior and curl up in a little ball. My only complaint is that they don't sell one in my size. šŸ˜ž

Promising review: "I rescue geriatric cats and do medical fostering so I have great appreciation for reasonably priced equipment. These are fabulous! They are quite comfortable for cats with arthritis and joint problems or just feel miserable due to whatever health issues they have. These are calming and incredibly easy to wash and dry. They hold up very well and best of all they are affordable." ā€”M. M. Robinson

Promising review: "My cat is flipping OUT. The instant I pulled the tab and tossed it to him, he flailed and slapped it across the floor. He's been playing for 20 minutes straight, and talking about it the whole time. Kitty's rough on his toys, so I anticipate having to perform emergency mouse surgery sooner than later ā€” but for now? This toy's worth every penny." ā€”Emily S.

29. And a 40-pound bag of dust-free clumping litter because having to 1. Buy cat litter at the store and 2. Carry it into your houseĀ are two of the worst parts of cat parenthood. Short of scooping their cat's litter box for them, this is something your giftee is sure to appreciate!Ā

Dr. Elsey's

I live in a third-floor walk-up apartment in NYC so I really don't have many options when it comes to cat litter. With Amazon's subscribe and save, though, I can get a 40-pound bag delivered right to my door so I don't have to carry it back from a store or even up my own stairs! This stuff also clumps up SO well and keeps odor at bay which is a major blessing.

Promising review: "I can hardly believe how well it does the job. It eliminate odors and absorbs excellently. I will only buy this litter from now on and my cat šŸ’˜s it. P.S.: I've tried at least 10 kinds of cat litter and they are very costly. This one's price is just right and works in every way I need it to. Thank you!" ā€”Paula Stokes
