54 Gifts for Cat Lovers That Are the Cat's Meow
The cat-loving editors at Country Living herd up the best gifts for our kind of people.
Where do you begin when you’re holiday gift shopping for someone who not only likes cats but loves cats and their sweet little toe beans too? You've come to the right place. At Country Living, we adore all pets, but trust us, it’s the cat-loving editor on staff who volunteered for this assignment because searching far and wide for the best gifts for cat lovers is a whole lot of fun.
The ideas in this guide fall into two categories: (1) cat-themed gifts and (2) gifts for cats, since your recipient will appreciate a happy for their sweet kitty as much as if it’s for them. From funny tees, socks, and kitchen towels to handcrafted jewelry and a sleek kitty-shaped catch-all tray, you’ll find an array of unique, personalized, affordable, and totally paw-some gifts and stocking stuffers for feline-loving humans of all kinds. For the cats, we held fast to tried-and-true treats and toys, plus a few picks that brand-new cat owners will especially appreciate, like cuddly beds, a carrier, and—if they have the space—a cat condo. (They’re probably also about to need these tips for keeping cats out of the Christmas tree).
Once you’ve covered all the cat folks on your list, time for their counterparts. Our colleagues on team canine have rounded up the best gifts for dog lovers too!

Made by Nacho Nacho's Fish Market Cat Scratcher House and Hideout
Made by Nacho Nacho's Fish Market Cat Scratcher House and Hideout
I had a chance to test out this cardboard cat house from Made by Nacho (Bobby Flay's cat food brand featuring his cat, Nacho). I've been genuinely surprised and pleased with how much my three senior kitties have enjoyed it as a hangout space, and the fish market theme, complete with a faux can-lid-on-a-string toy attached to the side, is too cute. Assembly is required—if you have doubts about your gift recipient putting together a small piece of furniture with instructions, I recommend assembling this cardboard house before gifting.
