1. A pretty little trinket dish for holding their rings and earrings, especially if they're prone to losing them. Now, they'll have a dedicated place to put their wedding ring, if they have one: on the tail of this charming silver feline.
Promising review: "This is great for any cat lady/jewelry lover in your life! I gifted this to an older friend of mine and she loves it! It’s bigger than your typical jewelry dish so it’s perfect for holding jewelry and small trinkets. I would definitely buy again if I had more friends who like cats!" —Lexi
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two cat styles, and other options).
2. 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!
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in two colors).
3. An organic cat grass growing kit — their cats will love the flavor *and* they'll have something fun to chew on that's not mom'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! And you can get a refill kit for it here to keep mom stocked up.
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.
Get it from Amazon for $19.94.
4. A framed portrait of their cat(s), which makes a truly touching gift no matter what, but especially if one of their kitties has recently passed. It'll honor their memory and make it feel like a bit of their cat's spirit is around always. ❤️
Just hit "customize now" and you'll pick your frame material options (eight different materials), number of pets, upload images of the pet(s), add in their name(s), choose a font (four options), choose a background color (eight options), and choose between five dimensions. You'll also provide your email address for potential questions about your order. Oh, and BTW you can ~totally~ get it without the frame if you like! Be sure to use high-res images for the best results.
Haus and Hues is the small business behind these gorgeous custom portraits.
Promising reviews: "I bought this portrait as a gift for my husband who recently said goodbye to his childhood cat. When I opened it today to set it up for him, I was moved to tears by how beautiful it was. It is the most gorgeous portrait of our beautiful, dearly missed angel. I can't thank this company enough for the amazing gift they gave us. Thank you." —Hannah Dobbin
"I was nervous to order this because I didn’t think it would turn out well but it turned out AMAZING! Everyone who’s seen it LOVES it and it is now the star piece of decor in our house! If you’re on the fence, just get it!" —Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (or get a frameless one for $19.99).
5. A cheeky sign that's a nod to their love of cats, wine, and cheesy home decor all at once. And, I mean...it speaks facts. When you have a cat on your lap and a full glass of merlot, what more could you need?
Promising review: "I have several of these box signs around my house in different areas. I like them to add just a little humor and I think they are a cute little addition to my decor. They are made well and I have not had any problems with any of them (even after dropping a few times). I added this particular sign to my bar area, fitting since I have two cats. This is a great gift for the wine/cat lover." —Shelly V.
Get it from Amazon for $12.86 (also available in other designs).
6. A pair of Pusheen cat slippers that are soft and plush to keep their feet warm, while a light grip on the soles also ensures they won't be slipping around their home.
These come in only one size (meant for adults) and measure 12 inches long. According to reviewers, they fit best up to a size 10 (women's).
Promising review: "These slippers are so cute and soft! I have wide feet so I was worried they may not fit well, but they fit wonderfully! The bottom of the slippers have little rubber studs to help prevent slipping and the tops and inside are super soft. The tails and whiskers of the slippers seem attached well. And the face of Pusheen is super adorable. I highly recommend if you are looking for an adorable pair of slippers." —Salmons
Get it from Amazon for $29.57.
7. A cat-shaped storage basket they can throw all their cat's toys into when they need 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.
Psst — This might end up becoming a gift for their cat too if they decide to store blankets in it. My mom got me a similar basket last year, and I was excited to use it to store all my spare throws. Then my cat Sneaky decided to make it his new favorite napping spot (I'm not complaining though).
Promising review: "After my cats took their turns with it, I filled it with papers and other things I wanted to clear from my table. It looks cute in the room, and helps to hide my mess. I know others use it for laundry or books, or other things. I think it would be good for lots of uses. It’s strong and seems of very good quality and construction." –Ronni
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors)
8. A cat DNA test (it's from Shark Tank!) that'll unlock a whole new world of info about their cat, like whether that gray baby is actually a Russian Blue or some kind of mix. It'll also give info on health markers and traits their cat is likely to have based on their breed — so now they'll know *why* their kitty is so uniquely lovable!
Promising review: "I purchased this kit because I have an 18-pound green-eyed, long-haired cat, whom everyone asks me about. 'Is she a Maine Coon?' 'Is she part Maine Coon?' I had no idea as to her lineage, as I found her struggling for her survival on the street and had no idea who her parents were. She turned out not to be a Maine Coon, but showed similar ancestry to rag dolls. Believable, as she’s very people-friendly and almost acts like a dog. However, the most important part of this test is the health reports. I’ve sent a copy to her veterinarian, so that we can be on the lookout for anything she may be predisposed to and to have the vet give suggestions as to how to avoid certain outcomes. I’m very happy with the test and recommend it to anyone with concerns about their cat’s health or curiosity about their lineage." —Madouc
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
9. A pretty set of ceramic cat measuring spoons for cat-loving bakers, because one can never have too many sets of measuring spoons, and these are simply darling.
10. A matching bracelet and collar because friendship bracelets are a thing...so why wouldn't they have something similar with their greatest companion of all? If they take any opportunity to talk about their cat (*looking at myself here*), this'll be the best conversation starter, a cute accessory, and a sweet memento of their fur child even when they're not with them.
This small business is based in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Promising review: "Came super fast and is super cute!! My kitty looks so groovy and I'm glad I can look groovy with him too. 😚😚" —Paige Viola
Get a set with a collar and matching bracelet from Oddball Cat Toys on Etsy for $21.50+ (available in three collar sizes and with a matching bracelet, keychain, or both; available in dozens of designs).
Note: On the listing, collar sizes are as follows: "K" stands for kitten (4–10"), "R" stands for regular adult (6–14"), and "L" stands for large (6–16"). The bracelet measures 7 inches, and you can message the seller for customization if needed.
11. 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!
Promising review: "I purchased this as an 'extra' gift for the holidays. It was a hit. The ice cube trays are just large enough to make regular sized ice cubes and they fit perfectly into a freezer that already has other stuff in it. The design is cute and the ice cubes stay together.... even the tails!" —Douglas Womelsdorf
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $12.99.
12. 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, even when they're at their desk doing work (kitty doesn't understand what a "9 to 5" is, after all).
Reviewers suggest going up one size larger than you'd usually buy! And keep in mind this is probably best if their cat is cuddly / already likes to sleep on them for long periods of time.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this sweater. It's very soft and comfortable. I wish it was a bit loose, but I am very happy with it. I love that the pouch has a removable lining, which is easy for washing. My kitten Salem absolutely loves the pom poms. We bought this because he loves laying in pouches. He seems to like it. My larger cat Gibson actually fit comfortably, which was surprising. I usually buy sweaters with thumb holes, so this was a huge plus. I would definitely recommend buying this." —Desireé Pierce
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–3XL).
13. A gorgeous laser-engraved crystal ball they'll be thrilled to set on their office desk, bedside tablet, or a bookshelf as whimsical decor. One reviewer described its look as "almost angelic," making it a sweet memento if they have a cat who's passed.
It comes with the stand.
Promising reviews: "How often do you get sent a picture that is almost identical to the photo???? It speaks volumes! Just as described. My giftee is extremely happy. I'm thrilled to see the double take similarities." —SuzieQute
"I bought this for a friend whose cat passed away. I will say it is quite small but the detail is beautiful and the stand is metal and very sturdy. Overall great quality and she loved it. I would definitely buy again." —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two styles).
14. Some cool wall-mounted shelves to take their love for their feline to new heights — and literally ~elevate~ playtime. If they've been complaining about the lack of space for a cat tree, this is a nice alternative!
15. 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
Get it from Amazon for $12.
16. A 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.
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in two styles).
17. Popular card game Exploding Kittens for game night–loving moms with a sense of humor. Described as a "highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette," it'll ignite their competitive side and entertain the whole family — even their curious cat might curl up nearby to see what all the fuss is about.
Promising review: "We have looked at this game time and time again and always walked away from it. While on vacation in Ireland stuck on the boat during a bad storm, my mother-in-law bought this game. The four of us lost hours of days playing this game. It's like they took Uno and gave it a super makeover. We then got the expansion pack for even more fun. Make sure if you're playing with young ones you buy the normal game and not the adult version, I say this as a warning to parents. Hope this helps. I'm not a card game player but will sit down to play this little gem of a game." —Sugarplum
Get it from Amazon for $18.73.
18. A bestselling ChomChom pet hair roller if the only thing mom DOESN'T like about their cat is the endless shedding on all of their nice furniture. No more messing with sticky paper lint rollers; instead, they'll get a reusable brush that grabs up every bit of hair and lint as it's rolled across an area — just empty it out after! You're basically gifting them a clean (read: less furry) home for Mother's Day, aka the best gift of all.
See it in action on TikTok!
The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).
19. A trio of cheerful-looking plant-watering globes to take care of their plants for up to three weeks at a time — that's one less thing on mom's busy plate to worry about.
Promising review: "So glad I got these. I’m a chronic overwaterer and my plants were struggling. Now I don’t have to worry and I don’t even have to water. This is great for indoor plants that don’t actually need much water. And they’re super cute. I get lots of compliments on them!" —MB
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two styles).
20. A quirky cat mug that's sure to become a staple in their morning coffee- or tea-drinking routine.
It's dishwasher- and microwave-safe! No hand-washing needed.
Promising review: "I needed a gift for a cat lover. She was going through a rough time, so I wanted to send her a collection of soothing teas, chocolate, a blanket, and a nice mug. I found the perfect soft blanket with a cat design but was struggling to find a good mug. Then I saw this. It’s as cute in person as it is in the product listing. It’s a nice weight, well made, and quite good quality. My friend especially loves black cats, so this was the perfect mug to tuck into her gift. She loved it and uses it all the time. So, perfect mug for you or any cat lovers in your orbit." —Jan
Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in three colors).
21. A cute pack of cat sticky notes if they're *always* jotting down reminders for themselves or leaving notes for forgetful family members — like don't forget about the vet visit on Wednesday or to order more salmon-flavored treats! (OK, maybe the cat wrote that one.)
I have these (as shown above) and absolutely love them for jotting down quick notes and to-dos for work!
Promising review: "Very cute cats design with enough room to write a note. I use these to remind patients of their next appointment. I think they are so cute that they won't get lost or discarded. I get lots of positive comments!" —Arran Dolan
Get them from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a to-do list style).
22. 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.
Promising review: "I love this mouse pad. I took it to work with me, which is a decently professional environment, and it has made so many people laugh or smile. I have received so many compliments on the mouse pad as well. It is comfortable to use, it's big enough for my mouse, and it supports my wrist through an 8-hour work day." —Megan Christiansen
Get it from Amazon for $12.88+ (available in six colors).
23. 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.
Promising review: "I bought this for my coworker’s cat, Mr. Socks, who is always trying to ‘help’ his owner during the day. This was perfect. The stickers are so much fun and so cute. The ‘laptop’ itself is hilarious and entertaining for not just Mr. Socks. The ‘screen’ has all of Mr. Socks’ coworkers in a video conference. The ‘mouse’ was hilarious and the little slot for small toys is a great addition. I highly recommend this for any of YOUR furry coworkers. They won’t be disappointed." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
24. 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.
Promising review: "How many times have you been at an event or gathering and wondered, is that my wine glass? Well fret no more! These cute little drink markers take away the guessing element, especially as the night goes on and you've had a few. We've all been there and while some may say, they're totally unnecessary, I can attest that they certainly come in handy!" —Peepchick
Get a set of six from Amazon for $14.
25. A set of hot sauce–inspired cat toys for the mama with a love for spicy things. Now *all* the kids (even the ones covered in fur) can get in on taco night!
Polydactyl Cats is a small business based in Philadelphia that offers unique handmade cat toys using organic, USA-grown catnip. They have lots of other fun food-themed toys, including a popcorn kicker toy!
Note: This ships from Pennsylvania and has a wide shipping range (depending on your location) so check the listing to see if it'll arrive by Mother's Day (May 12).
Promising review (get ready for two incredible cat names): "I just love these catnip toys! So well made and adorable! Porkchop and Applesauce just love them and whisked them away to their lairs the minute I opened the package <3. My dog even takes one when he can, lol. He doesn't like being left out of the gang." —Kasey Fox
Get them from Polydactyl Cats on Etsy for $35.
26. A 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: "I bought this for my granddaughter's cat, Cornbread. I loved it because they live in the desert and it was so appropriate! I think it is a big success from the picture she sent! Great product and great buy, plus fast shipping!" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
27. A wheeled see-through pet carrier that'll give their curious feline a ~360-degree~ view while they're on a walk together — because why would they go anywhere without their bestie?
It has 13 air holes and comes with two types of mats for putting inside (a fluffy cushion for the winter, a cooling pad for the summer), though mom could always put their favorite blanket or pillow inside for comfort. It also has an extendable, adjustable handle and 360-degree spinning wheels.
Check out a TikTok of the pet carrier in action!
Vetreska is a small business that specializes in chic pet products for home and travel.
Promising review: "I got these for my cats. They are inside boys and when I use the harness in the fenced backyard they tend to eat grass. My ginger is a rotund 19 pounds but this contraption fits his extra large bod with room for him to turn around and check out the ladies." —andjas96
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three styles, including partially transparent or fully transparent).
28. An adorable enamel cat pin for their favorite tote bag or jacket, so the whole world (nay, the entire galaxy) can bear witness to their love of cats, naps, and...space?? There's a lot going on here and I love all of it.
Promising review: "This pin is adorable! I bought it to fit the space theme of my boyfriend's bag, and it looks amazing. The art is cute and the pin is sturdy. I’m happy with this purchase." —Hunter Rochovansky
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
29. 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 eight styles).
30. Cozy, fleece-lined socks if they're always complaining of cold feet no matter the time of year — and because you're never too old to wear cute cats on your feet. The grippy rubber soles will also prevent them from sliding around on the floor in these, so they double as slippers!
Promising review: "I got these for my mom who is also cold and a diabetic. These keep her feet warm and paired with a good lotion soft as well. Socks are cute, soft, and thick." —Mariah R. Canterbury
Get them from Amazon for $16.99.
31. A super cute knit beanie so they can flex their love of all things feline while out and about.
Promising review: "Basically, I wear this hat all the time, and it is one of the best fitting hats I've ever found. Slightly slouchy, looks good, and feels very comfortable. I plan on buying a few more when I have the cash! I wear hats nearly everywhere I go, and with nearly every outfit that I wear. This is the staple of my wardrobe, and it has served me well on many bad hair days or lazy mornings where I just don't want to style my hair. It is thin enough that I can wear it even in the summer in Florida, but enough wind protection that it keeps out the chill during the 'colder' months."—Kristin
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 17 styles and in packs of two).
32. A magical set of cork coasters for the cat owner with a love for whimsical art — and protecting their furniture from damage.
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
Get the set of four from Boyoun Kim on Etsy for $20.
33. 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 mom's piles of laundry or laptop keyboard). It's also great for homes 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.
Promising review: "This is worth every penny! My kitten loves sleeping and playing in it! The bed is really good quality, and it's the perfect fit!" —Rachel Eggers
Get it from Amazon for $47.99.
34. 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
Get it from Amazon for $19.89+ (available in two colors).
35. A set of two cat-shaped tea infusers for a cute tea time accessory they'll be able to use over and over again.
Promising review: "Great for brewing cups of loose leaf tea. They're also dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning them easier. They look so cute peeking over the edge of a mug! They would make great small gifts for any tea-lover (doubly so if they also love cats!)." —mynxkat
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.95.
36. 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~.
Companion Candles is a woman-owned small business based in Chicago. Their candles are handmade in small batches with clean, organic ingredients, high-quality fragrances, and eco-friendly wooden wicks. A dollar from every sale is donated to an animal welfare organization of the customer's choice!
I've tried out several of Companion Candles' lovely products at this point and, as someone who's gone through a *lot* of candles, I really love them. These last you for quite a while despite their smaller size (the average burn time is around 40 hours). The scent is really noticeable without being too overwhelming, and my favorite thing is that they're wood wick candles, so they emit this really lovely crackling sound as if you were sitting next to a fireplace. My cats get a kick out of sniffing these and love watching them burn. It's also nice to know that they're not breathing in any toxic ingredients!
Get them from Companion Candles for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and five scents).
37. An escape-proof kitty harness for the adventurous cat mom 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!
Surfer Cat Mav is a Los Angeles-based small biz that sells escape-proof harnesses and leashes in a variety of fun styles and colors. They even featured on the Netflix show Cat People!
Promising reviews: "These are the absolute best harnesses for cats. Well made, fun colors, and really truly escape-proof for my cat. I always feel safe with him out exploring when we have on one of these harnesses." —Sara Davidson
"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
Get it from Surfer Cat Mav on Etsy for $24.99+ (available in 10 colors).
Be sure to pick up a matching leash if they don't have one already! Surfer Cat Mav has a retractable trainer leash that's great for kittens or cats just starting their outdoor training, or you can grab one of their *gorgeous* specialty leashes.
38. 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).
Promising review: "Fit over door easily. Can get several hangers on each hook. Wouldn't hang coats, but T-shirts or PJs, tank tops, light robes, etc. Hung them on oak door and can easily see the kitties!" —Detroit Chick

39. A fun 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, and mom will get a good laugh every time.

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
