1. A self-groomer cat brush when your kitto would love nothing more than constant scratchies at their disposal. They'll be able to groom themselves whenever they want! Load it up with catnip if they need some convincing.
Promising review: "None of my cats like to play with toys! They have so much energy but would get bored with any toy within days. I tried rotating them and interactive toys, anything and everything for hours and at different times. There is nothing that has kept my cats busy like these grooming tools! I have literally never seen any of them sit and mess with something for more than a few minutes but my cats will rub on this for like 20 minutes at a time. 100% worth the money!" —Amazon Customer
P.S. Don't forget to add some catnip to your cart so you can make your cat an offer they can't refuse!
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
2. Some mounted catnip balls to send felines into an obsessive frenzy that's almost too fun to watch — everyone benefits from this gift! There are four different flavors to try: silvervine, gall fruit, catnip, and cat sugar.
Promising review: "The cats are in love with this thing and it is so durable! They have been rubbing their faces against it as well as pulling on it with their paws and it has not fallen once. Great entertainment!" —Sky
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.98 (available connected or as stand-alone balls).
3. Or a catnip alternative variety box for those hard-to-please creatures you're always trying to figure out. Catnip doesn't have the same effect on all cats, so why not switch it up? This variety box will help you discover their *true* guilty pleasure.
The box includes matatabi chew sticks, silvervine powder, valerian root, and an all-natural blend of catnip packed with the most potent part of the plant: its flowers. The box comes with one refillable toy.
Meowy Janes is a small New Jersey-based business that sells all natural catnip and alternatives such as whole silvervine fruit.
Promising reviews: "This stuff is a lot better than regular catnip. From the time I open the box, my two cats are all over me to get at it. Just a little bit at the time will satisfy them. They like chewing and rubbing on the sticks as well as playing with toys that you apply it to. I have purchased this a couple of times and they never get tired of it." —C. Scroggs
Get it from Amazon for $36.81. They sell everything separately in their shop too, so once you figure out what your cats like, you can always order more of that specific item!
4. A rechargeable automatic cat toy if your pet is notorious for their zoomies and would be thrilled to have something to chase around the house (aside from their tail, that is). This will help keep them occupied when you're unable to play, which is a gift you'll both appreciate!
Bonus: It can run on both carpet and smooth floors!
Promising review: "My cat enjoys this toy. It really keeps him entertained in the evening, rather than being mischievous. So much so, this is the second one I’ve ordered. They need to be USB charged, so now I always have one ready for him. I think the lights also mesmerize him. After playing, it seems to calm him down and he just lays on the floor watching it move around. It’s a win-win." —Terri DuLong
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
5. A purr pillow your kitty can cuddle up with for comfort when you're not around to provide the snuggles. The gentle purring sound is especially soothing for anxious cats.
The touch-activated purr pillow is available as a purple kitty or a blue sloth. Petstages offers other soothing toys, including a glow-in-the-dark mouse that contains catnip.
Promising review: "Our kitten, Spazz, LOVES the Purr Pillow!!! He loves to tackle and body slam the purple guy, as we call it, and grab it, bite it, and kick it with his hind legs! If there were ever a soft plush kitten/cat toy that can take extreme punishment, the Purr Pillow is it!!! He loves it so much, that when we give it to him, he'll run off with it in his mouth and put it in his special mini cardboard box. The Purr Pillow is more than worth its cost!!!" —Denice C.
Get it from Amazon for $18.53.
6. A "cat dancer" toy because sometimes cheap thrills are a ~purrfect~ solution for hyperactive kitties! Wave this toy around and watch 'em dance the night away.
Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him the happiest. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo
Get it from Amazon for $3.99.
7. Or a rainbow cat charmer when your pet's fave thing in the whole world (after you, duh) is hunting a big, bad string around the house. It's made of a soft felt material, so it's fun *and* easy for them to play with.
I have this exact toy for my cats, and it's easily their favorite thing to play with — and they have a lot of toys. I first noticed they loved string because they tore apart a mouse toy that was basically string wrapped around a plastic mouse shape — they didn't care about the mouse, but they loved the torn-apart string (aka literal trash at this point). I got this rainbow toy because I realized they really just wanted to chase long tail-like objects, and they sure do light up whenever they see me pick up this wand and know that it's playtime. I love that it's long, so I can just sit on my couch and whisk it around the area, and even shy little Chicho, who likes to sit further back and watch while his older brother plays (as seen in the GIF above), can still bat at it. It's a super simple toy, but the amount of joy it'll probably bring your kitty is worth every penny. —Jenae
Promising review: "We bought one of these about five years ago, and it was a hit. It has been well used and finally starting to fray a bit. We have a new kitten, and she absolutely loves this toy. Like others have said, she will drag this thing around and bring it to us to get us to play with her. I just ordered another one." —Jayster
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
8. A cat tree if they require endless entertainment and you're eager to keep them intrigued for more than five seconds. Whether you have a kitten with tons of energy or you have several cats in the home, this is bound to keep 'em busy.
I've owned this exact cat tree for about a year and a half now and have to say, for the amount of use you (well, your cats) get out of it, it's a steal at this price. My cats are on this thing EVERY day. There are sisal-covered posts along the entire height of it for your cats to scratch, and the rope is just now starting to come apart from the amount of feverish scratching my younger cat, Chicho, has done to it (which, for less than $100, I'm not mad about). Now, there are some parts of this tree my adult cats simple weren't interested in using: the hammock on the first level, the cubby hole on the second, and the tunnel on the third. Those are absolutely designed for kittens, making this a great tree for cats of all ages. My cats prefer the two top tiers of the tree and the side basket — which my very thick older cat, Sneaky, curls up in for his afternoon naps every single day. I appreciate that this cat tree doesn't take up a *ton* of space either and fits very well in my NYC apartment. If you've got a couple of kitties and haven't gotten them a dedicated cat tree yet, take this as your sign that it's worth it! —Jenae
Get it from Amazon for $73.75+ (available in five colors).
9. And a suction cup cat hammock for kitties who adore watching the world go by from the window but don't have a decent place to sit! It comes with four strong suction cups and tough stainless steel cables that can hold up to 40 pounds, so it's sturdy enough for heavier cats.
Place it near a cat tree, and they'll be able to jump back and forth between them!
Promising review: "I recently just moved out of my parents' place, where there were screened-in porches and large windows with easily accessible views for my cat, into an apartment that has few windows he can look out of. I bought this hoping it would give him a place to look outside and enjoy an afternoon nap. He typically never uses any cool stuff I buy for him, but as soon as he figured this out he fell in love with it! I find him most days lounging in it and watching all the animals that fly or walk by. I personally decked it out with a cozy blanket and some fake eucalyptus vine to make him feel like he’s in the wilderness. It’s easy to put together and hang and also comes apart easily. Would definitely recommend for an apartment kitty!" —Sara P
Get it from Amazon for $19.89+ (available in colors beige and black).
10. A game-changing pet gate — a must in multi-pet households with several four-legged creatures milling about. If there's an area where only cats are allowed (like the litter box room!), they'll be able to pass through while big dogs are kept out.
I've used this exact gate in the past and found it really easy to set up in my doorway, and it's *extremely* sturdy once you adjust the tension properly — I can't see any dogs being able to break through, and it's made of metal, which discourages chewing. I personally used it when I adopted my younger cat and needed to slowly introduce him to my older cat. The space between the bars were wide enough for them to see and sniff each other without any possibility of them fighting. I will say that once the younger cat got braver, he was able to leap over the top of it, but my older, bigger cat could not (which meant the younger cat always had a means of escape). So keep that in mind, depending on your use case. You can also install it a few inches above the ground to get some extra height. —Jenae
Promising review: "I wish we bought this gate years ago since it was a constant game of figuring out how to keep the dog away from the cat's food and box. We even occasionally used a rollaway suitcase in a doorway as our makeshift solution. FINALLY — peace, cleanliness, and less money spent on extra cat food that our dog would devour every time she got a chance. Great gate!" —HillsideHaven
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
11. Or an adjustable Door Buddy latch to hold the door open just a smidge so cats can squeeze through but pups can't. Whether you're trying to keep the dog away from the cat's food or litter box, this latch will do the trick. Your cat will thank you for the gift of privacy!
Promising review: "We have a Boston Terrier who LOVES cat food but it makes him extremely sick. We needed something to keep him out but let the cats in so we tried this. It works so well, we bought a second one for our bedroom so the cats at night can come and go as they please but it keeps the dog in our room and out of their hair if they choose to wander the house! I’m not sure how I lived without it but I won’t be without it now!" —Mickey Bergman
Get it from Amazon for $16.94.
12. A tunnel bed so you can accomplish two important goals: keeping your pet cozy *and* entertained. It's a perfect napping spot that'll also provide nonstop excitement with the tunnels for hiding and chasing their siblings around.
The middle of the tube has a plush cat bed in it, so they can also take cat naps there if they prefer to use the tunnel for play. You could also lay a blanket in the tunnel for added comfort!
Promising review: "My cats absolutely love this thing! When I was putting it together, my 20-pound tabby immediately went inside the tube, and did not come out for over an hour! It was easy to put together (even with a 20-pound cat inside lol). But, this entire thing set up is about 3 feet long. It is HUGE. Make sure you have room!! The material is surprisingly soft, outside and inside the tunnel. And the light coloring allows light to filter through, which my cats like (I had a black tunnel that neither of them would go into). My smaller 10-pound tabby (black nose) LOVES to run around the house, and now he has added running a few laps inside this tunnel to his run lol. Both cats play in this ALL THE TIME. Both on the inside chasing each other, or one on the inside and one outside batting at each other. They use the tunnel as a good napping spot, and also a spot to hide from the vacuum or guests they aren't sure of. This has gotten soooooo much use from both cats. I would highly recommend this!!" —Trebeca
Get it from Amazon for $39.50+ (available in four colors/patterns).
13. A calming spray that'll come in handy with nervous cats who may exhibit aggressive behavior when going to the vet, enduring a stressful move between houses, and so on. When their anxiety starts kicking, spray some of this calming formula to help them relax.
Promising reviews: "My cat, like most, is a jerk. Seriously, she's a mean pain in the butt. However, I love her to pieces and will do a lot to make her happy. We recently added a small rescue cat to our home, and this made my grown cat quite upset. She was charging, hissing, swatting, and growling at the little cat all the time. When she escalated to pooping on the little cat's bed, I drew the line. I purchased this spray as well as a Feliway diffuser and am so impressed! Originally, I had just the diffuser, which cut the negative behavior by about 75%. Adding the spray has made all the difference. Day one, I probably went a little overboard but I sprayed it on their cat tree, beds, toy box, favorite pillows, and the carpet in the room they play the most. It's virtually unscented, sprays easily, and is a generous bottle so I wasn't worried about running out. I was just careful not to spray any ON the cats, as that's a big no-no. Both cats are calm and relaxed. The fighting has greatly diminished, and they can be in the same room at the same time now without supervision. It's great that I can spray this on virtually anything, and that I can reapply it as needed." —L. Potter
"Is your cat actually the devil? Does it poop up walls or start fights with the couch for no reason? Try this. Works like magic. I don't know what kind of dark magic is in it. I don't care. All I know is my cat does not try to eat the face of my other cats anymore. WIN." —graphicsgoddess13
Get it from Amazon for $8.80.
14. An outdoor catio when you're aiming for the Pet Parent of the Year award and want only the best for your fur child. It allows them to enjoy everything they love about the outdoors, but it'll give you peace of mind knowing they're safe!
Promising reviews: "We adopted a 13 year old indoor-outdoor cat after a friend passed away last year. Instead of allowing him to continue to go outside with the coyotes and raccoons, we purchased the Paw Hut Catio kit. Our boy loves the fact that he can still go outside and we love that he's protected. The materials are sturdy and it was relatively easy to put together. We're all very happy campers!" —MimiB
"It's perfect. Very easy to put together. Two people make it slightly easier, but it's still easy for one person. We will be altering ours to include a cat door through a window." —Sayward C.
Get it from Amazon for $309.99+ (available in colors orange, gray, and white).
15. An organic cat grass growing kit so they'll leave your plants alone — and be stoked to have one of their own! It contains a blend of barley, rye, oat, and wheat seeds, so it's full of vitamins and minerals that are actually good for 'em.
Plus, it comes in an adorable cat face mug!
The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic, nontoxic products for other passionate cat owners.
Promising review: "As far as the flavor goes; the kitties seem to find it top notch! Was tall enough after only five days; but we held off for day six to make sure 'little destroyer' didn't pull it out by the roots! The cup opening keeps the shoots tight together unlike some you buy in the pet store. We couldn't be more pleased. We ordered a refill at the same time and plan to order again just to have two cups so my kids don't fight for position. No mold problems if you follow watering directions." —Kathleen M.
Get it from Amazon for $19.94+ (available in three colors).
16. A clear toy blocker to ~block~ the heartbreak they feel upon seeing their fave ball or catnip toy roll under the fridge, stove, etc. It comes in two heights, can be cut to fit your space, and the tape is both washable *and* removable.
Promising review: "I am constantly retrieving dog toys from under my couch. So often, in fact, I think my dog does it on purpose. THESE BLOCKERS ARE AMAZING. Every time she tries to push her ball under the couch, it pops right back. I wish I had gotten these sooner." —Evan Stark
Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in three sizes).
17. An automatic cat feeder you *and* your kitto will benefit from. No more waking up at the crack of dawn to feed your hangry cat! It's a lifesaver if you need help controlling their portions and establishing a regular eating schedule. Simply program it to dispense a certain amount of food up to four times per day and your work is done.
It plugs into the wall, but it also accepts batteries in case of power outages. Also, you can record a 10-second clip of your voice saying something like, "Maggie! It's time to eat!" so they get a consistent verbal cue that they recognize.
Promising review: "We held off for years telling ourselves our cat would eventually accept his feeding time if we were consistent in ignoring him. Well, here we are. Wish we bought this sooner; best money I've ever spent. Plus, we can more easily leave our cat for a few days without worrying as much. The battery backup is a nice feature, and it's easy to program, and once you get it set up you basically don't need to do anything except monitor the amount of remaining food. My only slight complaint is that the bowl itself is a hollow plastic, so the food hitting the bowl was actually loud enough in the other room to wake us up. So we now just have it dispense onto the mat we have." —Jen E.
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (clip the coupon to save an extra $15!; available in two sizes and three colors).
18. Or a sleek, modern set of elevated bowls with a tilted design that will make eating more comfortable *and* help prevent whisker fatigue. Bonus points for reduced spilling!
The wide design of the bowl can help prevent whisker fatigue, which is when their whiskers get irritated from being touched or stimulated too much.
Promising review: "I have always had a problem with my one cat vomiting undigested food. My vet told me she was probably eating too fast. I stumbled upon an ad on Facebook stating the bowl position was the reason for cats vomiting; bowls resting on the floor put their neck at an odd angle and can cause acid reflux. I’ve used them for about two weeks and my cat has not vomited once! It was almost a daily occurrence prior to purchasing these! I did have to rest their old bowls inside these to get them to eat. But after a few days, I could put the food directly into these bowls and they did not complain." —kindlefire09-8
Get it from Amazon for $19.19.
19. And a painfully cute ceramic water fountain for anyone who knows the struggle of fighting over the faucet...with a cat. They'll be ~pawsitiviely~ content with their own fountain. Plus, it's great for cats who don't drink enough water — this'll pique their interest.
I've been using this cactus water fountain for months and absolutely love it. I've used the cheap plastic kind in the past and noticed that 1) they get dirty fast and are annoying to clean, and 2) cats can knock them over or push them around. This ceramic fountain has solved all my problems, and the best part is that both of my cats actually love drinking out of it! It's hefty and doesn't shift around as they are trying to drink, and there's been no attempts to dismantle it either. It gives off a good flow from either side of the cactus in the middle, and my cats either like to nibble on that or drink around the hole the water flows into. This fountain is also super quiet, though you'll notice it making a bit of a noise when the water gets low (which helps remind you to clean it out and put in fresh water), and it shuts off entirely when out of water for safety. Ample hydration is *so* important for cats, especially if they're mostly on a dry food diet, so it's worth it to invest in a proper watering fountain that's built to last. And this one is. —Jenae
Happy & Polly is a small business with an incredible collection of cutesy cat and dog products, from carriers and scratching posts to water fountains and even apparel.
Get it from Happy & Polly for $69.99 (originally $79.99).
20. A cat door so your lil' adventurer can easily access the outside world without your help. It's the perfect way to let 'em soak up the sun from your screened-in porch or catio! Give them some independence and you'll likely be rewarded with unlimited "thank you" cuddles.
It can be installed in a sliding glass door OR window. There's a slide-in closing panel with a lock so you can restrict access when you don't want your cats going out. The whole thing can easily be removed thanks to its spring-loaded frame that lets you lift it right out of the sliding door track.
Promising review: "Our cats took right to it! I figured it was going to be a nightmare training them. One of them jumped through it as I was installing it, AND I even had the main door wide open. It was hilarious! Anyway, I wanted to say that the retractable top makes it so easy to install and remove at will! It wasn’t something I was looking for, but once I realized this awesome feature, I knew it was a bonus! So, I quit on installing it permanently with all the screws and went with it as is. Now, when we are going to be gone longer than a day, I can just simply pull the retractable top down a little and remove the door. I was a little bummed about the sealing, or lack thereof, where the door makes contact with the PetSafe insert. So, I just ran up to the store and grabbed a couple of different weather strip seals and put one on the PetSafe insert and one on our sliding glass door, overlapping them so they seal each other as the door closes shut. We bought the medium-size pet door because we have 15- and 20-pound beast cats. Our biggest fits just fine. I also fashioned a bar to fit between the door to brace lock it when we are asleep or gone. Lastly, the weather stripping it came with for the back of the door is fantastic! Very simple, and the sticky stuff is great!" —Lookin4That1Thing
Get it from Amazon for $164.95+ (available in three colors, five sizes, and three styles).
21. A rolling cat kicker toy that'll take playtime to a whole new level. These contain organic catnip, silver vine, and valerian root, so your kitty will be ~kicking~ and scratching for more.
Chicho loves letting out his play aggression on this toy, especially whenever I give it a fresh spray of catnip. He does more than just kick it though — he licks it, rubs his head on it, rolls around with it, and generally just hugs onto it for a while, like you can see in the gif above. Though he tends to prefer more interactive playtime with me involved, this toy keeps him busy whenever I don't have time to stop what I'm doing and toss his toys around for an hour. Also, all cat owners know how cheap and flimsy many cat toys are, so I've been trying to pick up more high-quality toys for my cats that'll last for years. With its handmade wooden and sisal make, this is definitely one of those toys. Also, there's a rattle inside for extra sensory stimulation! —Jenae
Hoff-N-Paw Pet Toys is a small Etsy shop based in Chicago, Illinois.
Promising review: "This cat toy is exactly as advertised. I have four cats and even the one old lady who doesn't care much for catnip loves playing with the scratcher! The lil' peanut was all over the envelope before we even got it open (and when her brother took a turn playing with the toy, she managed to cram herself almost completely into the envelope)." —Amy

22. A genius set of catnip-infused felted balls if you want to spoil your rambunctious kitty while helping them burn off some energy. Return the balls to the tin for a recharge with more catnip before the next play sesh.
Simply B Vermont is a small business in Montpelier, Vermont that carries a huge selection of toys and accessories for both cats and dogs. You can also get dog bandanas, catnip alternatives,
Promising review: "My cat normally only likes toys with feathers and ribbons or catnip filled so I took a chance and ordered these for her. She is OBSESSED. She is like a little maniac running around chasing a little felt ball. I always hear crashing and it’s her throwing around the toy and running into things lol. So glad I purchased these and that she loves them so much!" —Kristina Meyer
Get it from Simply B Vermont on Etsy for $9.25+ (available in three tin colors).
23. A wall-mounted scratching post when your relentless scratcher needs to be distracted from that very tempting couch arm they usually attack. This will take up less space than a regular scratching post *and* it'll look nice in your home!
This is made of sisal wood, which is stronger and sturdier than cardboard (the common material for scratching posts).
Promising review: "The average cat scratching post is a hideous blend of string and beige carpet that sucks the soul from any room in which it is placed. Not this one. This scratching post is sleek, well made and unassuming, blending easily into any room. It arrived well packaged and was easy to install with the hardware provided. Furthermore, it is robustly constructed and stands up to constant use by my cat." —D James
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
24. Or a cactus scratching post because hey, if you're buying gifts for your cat, it might as well bring you joy, too! This adorable post is covered in natural sisal to help keep their scratching where it belongs — far, far away from your furniture.
If you have an area with a lot of plants in your home, this would look particularly cute near there!
Promising review: "Wonderful! Finally a cat tree that my cats like to scratch! I tried the A-frame, flat infinity-shaped one that goes on the ground, a regular rectangular one that's cardboard-type material, and the arched triangular sisal one — the cats didn't like any of them! Can you believe it! Spoiled brats! 😏 Anyway, the cactus one is the first tree that both the kitten and the 1-year-old cat like! The ball attached to it was picked off in the first week. That's easy to attach back on. The rest of it is super durable. The green goes great in our house because we have a lot of plants and it just blends in with the other greenery." —The Microchik
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
25. A heated cat bed you'll wish you could snuggle up in yourself! Once they crawl inside, the bed automatically heats up to their natural body temp so they'll stay perfectly toasty without overheating. Senior kitties with arthritis and other pain-related issues will love this bed.
If your cat isn't a fan of the hood on this bed, it zips off easily.
Promising review: "As a cat owner, especially the owner of an old cat, I was skeptical he wouldn't use this but OMG!! He loves this thing!!! And I love that I can keep it plugged in without it getting too hot. I have a big Maine Coon cat who's really hating the cold and he's just enamored with this. Definitely a winner! When I took it out of the box I plugged it in and put him in after 20 minutes. Once it was warm I think I had to deliberately put him in two or three times before he realized how cozy it was. It's now his #1 sleep spot. Couldn't be happier! Worth it!" —Amazon Customer

26. A tasty pack of salmon nuggets so you can speak your cat's love language and spoil them with yummy treats. They're small enough for providing positive reinforcement after a dreaded task, like a dose of medicine or a nail trim. It also means they can be safely consumed by kittens *and* older cats with fewer teeth.
Ava's Pet Place is a Black-owned, woman-owned small business founded by Ava, who begged her parents to let her start a business when she was just 6 years old. Today, Ava and her mom process hundreds of orders a month of their pet treats made from organic and all-natural ingredients.
Promising review: "My son's cat meows really loud. When we offer the salmon, you can hear that cat as far as next door. Keeps meowing until she is satisfied. Another big hit with us." —Sharron B.
Get it from Ava's Pet Palace for $9+ (available in three sizes) — you can also put them on subscription and save 10%!
27. A canister of creamy, lickable treats, aka irresistible deliciousness in a squeezable tube that'll have your kitty begging for more.
It comes with 50 treats (25 tuna, 25 chicken). They don't contain any grains, preservatives, or artificial flavors or colors. If your cat is notorious for not drinking enough water, these provide extra hydration in the form of a tasty treat. You can also try the Skin & Coat variety, which is enriched with Omega fatty acids to help maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat!
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 — and that is not a strong enough word — these." —Tracy Brethorst

28. A wall-mounted capsule because let's face it, some cats were just destined to become a viral "If it fits, I sits" meme. Mount this baby to the wall and go to town with a photoshoot whenever they're curled up inside waiting for their next snack.
Promising review: "This product brings us endless joy. I installed it eight feet off the ground and at first worried it was too high for the cats. I kept a small blanket in there and coaxed them in with treats so they’d get use to stepping into the curve. I eventually took the blanket out and now our youngest cat has claimed this as his spot and LOVES it. We love to see all the different ways he squishes his body into a liquid to sleep." —V

29. An ~out of this world~ rocket ship cat condo if you're tired of boring cat furniture and want to gift your fur baby something *very* special. They'll have plenty of places to hide, play, and nap the day away. What more could a cat want?
Promising review: "Admittedly, I bought this rocket for me more than my cat lol. Do not regret buying this at all. I was nervous that my cat wouldn’t like it but after a few days, he loved his rocket tower. [The] material is high quality and easy to put together. And who doesn’t want a little catstronaut in their home?! 😸🚀" —Crystal W.

30. A cardboard box with refill scratch pads so your cat becomes interested in destroying something other than your furniture. They'll be so enamored with their precious new box, they won't even realize it was mostly for your benefit.
Listen up, people. If your cat loves to take their scratching habit out on your furniture, you absolutely *need* one of these in your home. They're especially great for kitties who automatically take up residence in any cardboard box you bring into the house 😆 (iykyk). These last a really long time, so you only need to buy 'em every few months — maybe more often in a multi-cat household. It comes with a box, three scratching pad refills, and three small bags of catnip. The scratching pads are reversible, so you can flip it over once the first side is destroyed and get more use out of it. I keep one of these in the living room and one in my bedroom and my cat has no interest in scratching anything else now. Also, she loves these so much that she'll often end up taking a little snooze inside of the box! —Courtney
Promising review: "I have a cat who only likes a few things, and she obsesses over those things. Cardboard scratchers are one of her favorite things. I love that this comes with three inserts that can be flipped over. Basically it's six scratchers. This will last her several months and we will be back for more when she goes through them all. Also, the price for this item was so much better than many others I see out there." —Samantha

31. Some interactive chirping cat toys with touch-activated animal sounds to keep your curious kitty busy for the foreseeable future. They can hunt and swat these lil' dudes around the house until they're *finally* tuckered out and ready for a long snooze.
Promising review: "We'll be purchasing again! Our cats love these! Both cats will chase after them and one will even retrieve the ball and bring it back to you to throw again. He hasn't done that in a long time. They love the sounds they make when you throw them! Great idea and a great toy! Thanks!!! :)" —Randy Garner

32. A rechargeable flopping fish toy that'll amuse everyone — four-legged and two-legged species included. You'll love watching your pet tussle with this motion-activated toy and they'll be happy to provide the entertainment.
My cat inherited this toy from a family friend, but she actually loves it a lot. The minute she sees the tail start flopping, she goes to town on this fish. It's easy to recharge the battery and it lasts a surprisingly long time, too! Did I mention it comes with catnip? —Courtney
Promising review: "Best cat toy. My cat absolutely loves this fish. Well worth the price to keep my cat entertained." —Joanne
Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in seven styles).
33. And a 2-in-1 butterfly spinner for high-energy cats who must be chasing something at all times — or else!!! It can withstand rough play and the butterfly flies in a random 360-degree spinning motion to keep them interested.
This set already includes one replacement butterfly, but you can also get a refill pack if your cat plays with this enough for added wear and tear. This also needs three AA batteries; not included.
Promising review: "My Maine coon kitten is now 10 months old and this is still her go-to toy. It’s the perfect size, is sturdy, and the butterfly attachment adds even more fun for my cat. Keeps her entertained even when I’m not able to offer some playtime with her. I have a very large similar toy bought at a local pet store and that never gets touched. Your kitten/adult cat will love this toy." —Albert J. Fusco
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
34. A discreet plant-like litter box when your feline prefers to do their business with some privacy, thank you very much. It's larger than your average litter box but won't be a massive eyesore in your home. Everyone wins with this gift!
Promising review: "My cat loves this litter box! It gives him privacy. I also love it because it doesn’t look like a litter box at all, just a nice plant I’ve added to my house. Everyone compliments me on it not knowing it’s my cat’s toilet. This litter box also contains bad smells pretty well, and it covers up stuff I wouldn’t want anyone to see when they come to my house. I used to have to clean the litter box many times a day, and now I only have to a few times a week. Definitely worth the buy. We love it!" —Brooke Young
Get it from Amazon for $99.95 (available in three colors).
35. A mesmerizing cat food maze so you can provide mental stimulation and make them work a bit harder for their reward. It has three difficulty levels and they'll feel so dang smart once they've figured it out, you'll be beaming with pride as you watch them go to work.
It's best with catnip, crinkle balls, mice, cat wand toys, and other favorites, making it arguably one of the best interactive cat toys.
Promising review: "My 10-year-old cat loves treat dispensers and puzzles. But she's too smart for them and gets all the treats too quickly. This treat activity box keeps her engaged and happy throughout the day! She also loves scratching her chin on the corners!" —KTM
Get it from Amazon for $15.26.
36. A banana-shaped bed if your cat can often be found hiding inside boxes and under piles of blankets. This will give them some cover with a cushy interior perfect for impromptu cuddles! And they'll still be able to poke their head out and keep an eye on things 👀.
Promising review: "This is the best purchase I’ve ever made. Arthur is a 23-pound cat and finding a bed with a cover that fits him has proved challenging. This is fabulous material/quality and he loves it. Took a day and a little catnip to get used to but now it’s his favorite." —robyn
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three sizes).
37. A refillable catnip squirrel to combine their natural hunting instincts with their undying catnip obsession. Your cat will come running when you bring the squirrel out to play. They can lick, kick, and toss this toy around to their heart's content!
Promising review: "The squirrel is great! Big enough to not get lost under/behind things, but small enough for them to flip around. Our 6-year-old cat and kitten both love flinging it around. The kitten absolutely loves the squirrel, she will talk and chirp to it every night as she flings it around; it's the only toy she reacts to that way." —Saphyress
Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (available in six other styles).
38. Finally, a cozy rattan cat bed because some kitties will settle for nothing but the best! Give them the gift of luxury with this stylish bed, which will also look beautiful in your home and complement your impeccable taste in decor.
It comes with a cushion, but you might consider putting your kitty's favorite bed or blanket inside!
Promising review: "Since I've been working from home, one of my cats likes to hang out with me in the office during the day. I decided to get him a comfy chair. It took him a few days to try it out and I thought it might've been a waste, but now it's one of his favorite spots. We sometimes find him sleeping there even when no one is in the room. I think he likes that it's raised off the ground and we like that it looks a little bit more like a piece of furniture." —A. Golden
