    32 Cute And Practical Gifts For Cat Owners

    These feline-tastic gifts will make them smile (and their cats purr with joy).

    Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are tricky and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So, order earlier than you think you need to, and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it. 

    1. A pair of Pusheen cat slippers that are soft and plush to keep their feet warm all winter, while a light grip on the soles also ensures they won't be slipping around their home.

    2. A set of two ice cube trays with cat-shaped silicone molds so even the ice in their chilled drinks can have a feline theme. They can also use these molds for chocolate or candy!

    3. An extra tall and wide food bowl, especially for new cat owners who might not have had time to upgrade their kitty's food setup yet, or if they've had trouble with their cat's appetite. This ergonomic design helps prevent neck strain and whisker fatigue, and it's both microwave- and dishwasher-safe!

    Promising review: "We adopted an immunocompromised cat who's toothless, yes toothless, and she's wonderful. So she needs to eat a pate that's mixed with water so it has a more 'soupy' consistency. A friend gave us this bowl as a gift and it's worked fantastic. It has a somewhat depressed center so the food collects in the middle. It's a terrific design and I bought a second bowl to keep in reserve." —Coppermine River Canoer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five styles). 

    4. A silicone egg mold, which makes whipping up a sunny-side-up egg in the purr-fect shape a breeze. Just crack two eggs into the eye holes, and they'll catch the yolks while allowing the whites to flow out and cook in a contained shape. It's fun *and* practical.

    Promising review: "I didn't think breakfast could be so cute! Sometimes I like to make this for my fiance. He just shakes his head and laughs at me. It always gets us laughing and having fun. I'm sure kids would totally love this. We sure do. Bring a smile to your table with the funny side up egg molds. I'd like to get a few more shapes. Each one is cuter than the other. It can't be any easier to use too. Just crack the eggs inside the eyes and let it cook. Super easy to make. Super easy to clean. Enjoy!" —Calamitylam

    5. A robotic cat toy so they can actually get through a Zoom meeting without their cat crying and begging to play. Thankfully, this rechargeable smart toy will keep them plenty entertained, with erratic movements and various accessories they can swap out to see which one their kitty likes best.

    6. A modern litter box if they've ever complained about their litter box being such an eyesore in their home — this'll eliminate *that* problem right away, since chances are no one will even know at a glance that it's where their cat *ahem* handles their business.

    It features a simple pull-out drawer for easy cleaning and grated steps on the interior designed to keep litter tracking to a minimum. 

    Promising review: "My cat absolutely loves it. I have a hard time getting him out of that place. I think it’s turning into his man cave, rather than a place to do private business." —YY!

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping; non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas. See Amazon's full shipping info here and check the product listing for estimated delivery dates.

    7. An organic cat grass growing kit — their cats will love the flavor *and* they'll have something fun to chew on that's not your giftee's precious indoor plants (some of which can be toxic!). Give them a taste of the outdoors with this cat-safe, fiber-rich grass, which includes a healthy mix of wheat grass, oat, barley, and rye and helps with digestion and hairball control.

    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, non-toxic 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.

    8. heated, weatherproof kitty shelter if they have cats who go in and out of the house — or they're constantly taking care of the neighborhood strays. It'll offer their feline clan shelter from the elements, with a heated, waterproof mat to curl up on and two exits so kitties can come and go as they please.

    It's really meant for one cat, but it's so cozy they might end up with multiple cats trying to squeeze into it at once!

    Promising review: "This is by far the best thing we have purchased on Amazon yet. The thought that went into making this house is amazing. The people who made this thought of everything. It's durable, easy to put together, and it has two openings — which, if anyone knows cats, especially feral ones, they need two openings if they want to go inside something — and it heats up. What's not to love? This was something we were able to purchase because it wasn't too expensive, and now we get to help a homeless kitty stay warm for the winter. You guys rock." —Angela S.

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 1-day shipping; non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas. See Amazon's full shipping info here and check the product listing for estimated delivery dates.

    Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in three styles).

    9. A super cute knit beanie so they can flex their love of all things feline while out and about.

    10. A quirky cat mug that's sure to become a staple in their morning coffee- or tea-drinking routine.

    11. And a set of two cat-shaped tea infusers for a cute tea time accessory they'll be able to use over and over again.

    12. A cat-shaped storage basket they can throw all their cat's toys into when they're needing to clean up. That said, they don't have to use it for cat-related storage — it's a cute solution for storing everything from blankets and clothes to magazines.

    13. An over-the-door cat hanger, especially if space is at a premium in their home (or if they've always got clothes lying around). This stoic black kitty can hold up jackets, scarves, and other clothing/accessories so it's off the ground (and away from where their REAL cat can mess with it).

    14. A set of kitty cat wine charms they can break out anytime they have guests over so everyone can keep track of their own glass of wine — particularly handy as the night goes on.

    15. A set of oh-so-adorable cat sticky notes to keep them organized, especially if they're still in school. These little cuties can be used to mark different sections in textbooks or folders, or even just as a regular bookmark.

    16. A precious suction cup cat hammock that'll give their cat the best window views for their bird-watching! It's capable of holding over 40 pounds of weight (so multiple kitties can curl up on it together) and withstanding any chewing on the stainless steel cables. Get ready for lots of adorable pics of their kitty sunbathing.

    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

    17. A cat paw mouse pad with ~squishy~ silicone cushions that'll lift and support their wrist while working. If they work long hours at a computer, this will be a much-appreciated upgrade to their setup.

    18. And on that note: A laptop-shaped scratcher if they work from home and their cat is their only IRL coworker nowadays — the very *least* someone could do is provide them with their own laptop (so they'll stop trying to nap on their keyboard). Hard at work or hardly workin'? Shh, all that matters is the cat is happy.

    Uncommon Goods

    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.'" —RedBirdWoman

    Shipping info: Economy, standard, and express (1-2 business days) shipping options are offered. See full shipping info here

    19. cactus scratching post because it's cute enough to pass as home decor, which is always a plus. The sisal post lets them get out all their scratching urges, while the moppy fabric on the top and base will feel great for their kitty to nuzzle against. And did we mention it's CUTE??

    If they have an area with a lot of plants in their 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 one-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

    20. A catnip-filled carrot that, for some reason, even cats that usually turn their nose up at toys seem to LOVE. Stimulating playtime is important for cats, so they'll be *so* grateful to finally have a toy that doesn't just lay on the floor ignored and forgotten.

    21. A set of lovable ceramic cat measuring spoons for cat-loving bakers, because one can never have too many sets of measuring spoons, and these are simply darling.

    22. A metal wine stopper with a little black cat on it that'll become their new best buddy — by keeping their opened bottles of wine fresh for longer.

    23. A pet-carrying hoodie that gives "joined at the hip" a new meaning when it comes to them and their cat. With it, they can carry their baby around in their pouch and snuggle them extra close, sharing each other's body heat when the weather outside is frightful.

    Reviewers suggest going up one size larger than you'd usually buy!

    Promising review: "Very cute and comfy! Per other reviews, I ordered one size larger than I thought I'd need, and it fits perfectly. Love the removable wooly lining in the kitty pocket! It gets COLD here in winter, so I'm looking forward to snuggling up with my new kitten when the weather turns frosty. Definitely recommend!" —Kindle Customer

    Shipping info: Delivery is $7.99 with arrival within about 8–15 days, depending on your zip code; expedited shipping available at additional cost. See Amazon's full shipping info here and check the product listing for estimated delivery dates.

    24. Cozy, fleece-lined socks for that special person who knows you're never too old to wear cute animals on your feet. The grippy rubber soles will also prevent them from sliding around on the floor in these, so they double as slippers!

    25. A wall-mounted scratching post if their cat looooves scratching on vertical surfaces (like their couch!). The nice thing about this wall-mounted post is that 1. it takes up way less space than a standard scratching post and 2. it's not an eyesore.

    26. Or a retro gaming-themed scratching post for your favorite cat-owning gamer. It provides an area for their cat to scratch to their heart's delight while also doubling as a toy, as there are balls inside that their kitty can bat at through the cutouts in the front.

    27. A coconut-soy wax candle that doesn't just smell incredible — it's also free of paraffins, preservatives, and other toxic ingredients that neither them nor their kitties should be breathing in. The wooden wick makes this candle sound like a crackling fireplace when lit for ~peak coziness~.

    28. A banana-shaped bed if their cats are always crawling inside boxes, baskets, blankets, and anything else that provides them some cover. They'll have a wonderful time curling up in its plush interior and poking their head out of the top for pets.

    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

    Boyoun Kim is a New York-based Etsy seller that makes gorgeous hand-printed coasters, tea towels, tote bags, and prints. Check out their Etsy shop for more cute cat designs!

    Promising review: "I’ve never bought coasters before. I have not, and still do not, own a piece of furniture worth protecting. But I couldn’t resist these absolutely magical designs of a girl and her cat. Last night, I had a sweet pot of tea and put my tea cup on one of these coasters and it made me feel so fancy. Not fancy like the Queen, but these objects of beauty elevated my evening tea in a special, yet honest way. The art is spectacular and the printing very high in quality. Go ahead, get fancy! You will never regret having these coasters even if you are almost 50 years old and still using your college furniture (for example)." —Sharon Fennimore

    30. A hanging macrame cat bed so their kitty can lounge in true boho style, providing a gorgeous napping spot that's specifically for the cat (and not their human's piles of clothes or laptop keyboard). It's also great for apartments where floor space is at a premium! And it might look fragile, but the weight capacity is 40 pounds.

    This includes all the hardware they'll need to hang it, the macrame hanger, and a cushion.

    31. A castle-themed kitten tree if their feline bb is the prince or princess of their household — and their heart 👑. The scratching post is covered in durable sisal that'll withstand their frantic scratching, and their kitty can nap inside or outside the castle (plus, the cushions are machine-washable!).

    This tower is ideal for kittens and small-breed cats!

    Promising review: "Both my cats love this tower. They love scratching the post and sleeping in all the different spots available. It also looks nice in the house. The hanging ball broke off pretty quickly but it was no big deal — I just attached a different toy to the string. My cats highly recommend this!" —cindyf1984

An escape-proof kitty harness for the adventurous cat owner who'd love nothing more than to take their fur baby on outdoor excursions — this sturdy harness makes it possible without fear of their cat slipping out of it if they get spooked. It comes in cute colors, and you can even pick up a matching leash!

    "Amazing harness! My kitty has always been good on the leash but she recently broke free from her collar. This harness is very well made, she didn’t fuss at all when I put it on and seemed to forget about it within minutes. She tried bolting after a chipmunk but the harness held true! Love love love it! Will 100% recommend to friends and family!" —Sabrina
