These Cat Gift Ideas Will Have Both You and Your Furbaby Purring With Excitement

The crazy cat lady trope used to be a thing of shame — dog lovers, were you behind this?? — but for us here at Best Products, and all of the other cat lovers out there, it’s a badge of honor. Nowadays, we have representation from some of the most famous people in the world. Taylor Swift posed on the cover of Time Magazine with her furry child, Benjamin Button (and had him in her music video), Lupita N’Yongo regularly posts about her orange baby, and now there’s even a “First Cat” in the White House.

It’s safe to say we cat people and our favorite felines have taken over culture, and if you know a fellow cat lover or belong to the club, then you probably understand just how passionate we can be. This is where this cat lovers gift guide comes into play. If you know somebody who would absolutely love a gift about cats or for cats, read up.

We’ve gathered some truly great cat-related gifts and trinkets, tested them out in our homes and, of course, with our pets, and narrowed down the most quintessential presents for cat people. But be warned: If you’re also obsessed with these furry felines, you may need to order two of each.

Below, check out some of our favorite gifts and treats that any cat lover will enjoy. We even included one cat present inspired by Taylor Swift herself.

Personalized Pets Portrait

Oh, your giftee doesn’t have a Victorian-era personalized portrait of their cat? And you’re just... letting them live without one?? Absolutely not. Gift them this custom art and expect some laughs, tears, claps, and perhaps backflips.

Custom Name Necklace

If you think the cat lover in your life won’t wear their pet’s name around their neck, we’ve got some news for you. They will. And they won’t take it off. This simple name necklace is under $20 but will be invaluable to them.

Cat Backpack Carrier

If your cat lover friend is also a Swfitie, we have great news: This cat carrier backpack is Taylor-approved and the perfect gift. It comes in 13 cute colors and has Blondie’s blessing for traveling. It’s kitty-safe and allows for them to see outside much easier than the typical carrier.

Cat Coffee Mugs

Too many cooks in the kitchen? Maybe. Too many cat-themed pieces in the kitchen? Never. The coffee (or tea) lover whose home is overrun by cats will love this kitty-themed duo that comes with two cups and stirrers.

Canvas Tote Bag

Now we’re not out here saying that all cat people are also book lovers who own more tote bags than handbags, but we’re also not not saying that. This kitty tote will be your giftee’s go-to on their next run when they grab the next ACOTAR book.

Cat Ring Holder

Your accessory-loving bestie will get major use out of this cat jewelry holder, which has a clever spot for keeping track of rings (tails are more useful than we give them credit for). Not going to lie, it’s also a great place to put spare change.

Litter-Robot 4 Bundle

If you’re looking at the price tag of this litter box and contemplating society, take a breath. Senior Editor Summer Cartwright owns this futuristic cat toilet and says it’s “quite literally the best thing I own.” The reason why? “I haven’t had to scrape poop once since getting this thing, and I’ve had it for years. That, my friends, makes it worth every penny.” Our other Senior Editor for Reviews, Eunice Lucero-Lee, reviewed it as well and sings its high praises.

The automatic litter machine has sensors that detect whenever cats go potty, and then rotate the litter to discard all the goods. Everything gets dropped into a bottom compartment that only needs to be taken out every other week (or less).

This bundled kit comes with the machine, 50 liners, six odor-trapping accessories, a mat, and a fence to make sure your floor stays mess-free.

Donut Pet Bed

You know what’s never cute? Pet beds. Seriously, they clash with home aesthetics more than anything, but you can’t not get your furry friend a place to sleep. That’s why this donut bed from PetSmart is such a good gift, and a favorite of Senior Editor, Summer Cartwright.

“Not only do both of my cats love it (they cuddle up in it together and I cry over the cuteness for three hours straight), but it looks good in my apartment,” she said. “The center can be flipped from a scratchy pinstripe pattern like on the outside to a fluffy pillow-like cushion. My cats loved both and love to sniff around once one side is flipped to the other.”

Cactus Cat Scratching Post

Giving your cat lover friend the gift of unscratched furniture is saint behavior. This cactus post is certifiably adorable and gets the job done. “My cats love this scratching post so much that my velvet couch’s lifespan increased by a decade,” Senior Editor Summer Cartwright said.

Cat Blanket

Cat lovers could always use a new kitty themed blanket to keep them comfy during their cat naps. This one has cute cartoon kitties in action printed throughout. Will the cat steal it as its own? Maybe. Probably.

Catstages Chase Meowtain Track Cat Toy

Distracting cats with a fun toy is just as much of a present to the owner as it is to the pet. This Meowtain keeps kitties occupied without any mess or strewn-about catnip. The toy keeps balls moving on a track, and occupies kitties for hours.

Wearable Blanket Hoodie with Giant Pocket

Want something your giftee and their cat will enjoy? Then grab this hoodie, stat. It has a kangaroo-like pouch for your furry friend to hop into, so you’ll both be as close as ever and can snuggle for hours on end.

Cat Planter Pot

Cats + succulents = happiness. This adorable planter can be used for other things like holding pens or storing desk accessories. This set of six planters comes in for under $30, and very likely includes a pot that looks like their furry friend.

Plug Hub Starter Kit

This liquid-free plug-in ensures that no gunk spills out in your giftee’s home, and also has zero risk for their pets. It’s non-toxic, smells heavenly, and works great near the litter box — trust us, we’ve tried it out.

Organic Pet Grass Kit

Did you know that if your cat eats natural grass, it can reduce hairballs? Count us in! This kit comes with seeds, soil, and a cute kitty planter. It adds a bit of greenery to the house and cheers up kitty’s tummy!

‘Why Cat Why: A Coloring Book Explaining Cats’ by Theo Nicole Lorenz

Anyone who’s ever lived with a cat has asked this question. (Why must you sit on my head?! Why is my laptop your favorite place to sleep?! Why are you biting me — I’m the one who feeds you!!)

This coloring book covers the hard-hitting questions and gives you a therapeutic outlet when your cat won’t let you pet it.

Kitten Toys and Treats

Bringing a new kitty home? Don’t panic: This kitten gift box is packed with fun treats and toys that any feline, young or old, will fall in love with. It’s filled with hand-picked cat products and has an impressive selection of treats, catnip-filled toys, and even a checklist to ensure you’ve got the essentials down. (Oh, and Churu. Never forget those Churu squeezables — cats go nuts over ’em!)

Cat-Shaped Silicone Egg Mold

Since your cat is definitely already up (and woke you up hours ago), you have plenty of time to make a delicious egg breakfast. We swear, it’s simpler to use than it looks, and it’s hilarious.

Cat Cell Phone Ring

These adorable cat phone rings are the perfect accessory to deck out your cell phone in fashion-forward feline fierceness. Plus, these cell phone rings will last for weeks on end with their adhesive grip, and they’re less than $10.

Cat Wine Glass Charms

Mark your wine glass during parties with these friendly little cats that will actually want to hang around with you through the night. Great for parties, family gatherings, and when your partner insists on drinking Moscato when chardonnay is clearly superior.

Kisa Cat Candle

Kind of cute, but creepy at the same time. This little cat candle melts to reveal a metallic skeleton that you can keep as a quirky decor item after. Great for Halloween, too.

Cat Butt Magnets

There’s nothing better than some good old cat-butt scratchies, amirite? These cat-butt magnets will do an excellent job of holding up all those wedding invitations you keep on the fridge, and should also remind you to give some extra scratches to your favorite furry booty (your cat’s, we hope).

Cat Bag Clips (Set of 6)

Cat’s out of the bag! Literally... because these cat clips will secure your chip bags closed so nothing gets in them. You can find a meowing version that will probably scare your cat (ours just looks dumbfounded every time we use it!).

Cat Planter

This adorable planter is hand-painted and can be used for other things like holding pens or storing desk accessories. As void cat lovers, we appreciate black cats getting some love.
