Christmas Gifts for Cats

Cats love Christmas - the smell of turkey in the air, a tree to climb, bright shiny ornaments to break and, best of all, lots and lots of gifts! I hope you are not one of those cheap humans who buy their cats a two dollar catnip mouse and think they've finished their kitty Christmas shopping. You know your cats deserve much, much better than that! Here are some real kitty Christmas gifts! Oh, and for you humans on a "budget" (bleagh - cats hate budgets!), I've tossed in a couple of less pricey choices.

 
Limited Edition Fab Imperial Bed With Crown Toy Limited Edition Fab Imperial Bed With Crown Toy
Ahem! I am going to be more than a little disappointed if I don't find this under my tree! There are just 350 of this limited addition luxury cat bed in existence. Inspired by Faberge, it is deep royal blue velvet and lined in gold velour with faux jewel accents. Included is a crown squeak toy, and each bed includes a hand signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. Only for pets under 17 lbs. (like li'l 6-lb. me - hint! hint!).
 
Stairway to Heaven 4 Level Rustic Cat Tree Stairway to Heaven 4 Level Rustic Cat Tree
Handmade by a skilled human craftsman, each of these 5-ft. high, 4-level trees is a bit different from the others. With its rough, highly scratchable branches, it's like being outdoors only better 'cause there are no dogs or cars. Plus, this tree is sturdy enough even for big, active cats. I suggest you get this in place of a Christmas tree, and hang it with cat toys - that's what I call a real Kitty Christmas!
 
Hearts Pet Necklace with Bone, Fish or Mouse Charm Hearts Pet Necklace with Bone, Fish or Mouse Charm
As you might know from elsewhere on my site, I am a fan of Dorothy Bauer's work. This necklace, like many others she designs, is made with Austrian Swarovski Crystals, and it comes in a variety of sizes, from 6 inches up. Cats, of course, would never wear a bone charm, so you'd better choose either the fish or the mouse. You also get your choice of finishes. This will look lovely around your cat's neck.
 
Kittys Purrfect Playhouse Kittys Purrfect Playhouse
Here is one of the most amazing cat gifts I have ever seen - a playhouse just for kitties! We can nap, safe from the clutches of pushy, annoying humans, stretch and scratch on the woven sisal roof and play with the spring-action mailbox and birdhouse! There's even a cat grass kit to go with it. Get your cat this playhouse and he'll never want to leave home!
 
Blitz Turboscratcher Cat Toy Blitz® TurboScratcher
According to PetSmart, this is a "best selling" cat toy, so you may want to get one just so your cat doesn't feel left out. The reason for this toy's popularity is obvious - there's that delightful corrugated cardboard scratching surface, for one thing. Combine that with the track and ball, sprinkle with a little catnip and you've got the recipe for a happy cat!
 
Mysterious Purr Pad Mysterious Purr Pad
Being a designer cat, I generally look down on anything made of polyester... unless it's the Mysterious Purr Pad. Humans like it because it's electrostatically charged to capture dander and hair, but we love it 'cause it's about the warmest, most comfortable thing around! My MySpace friend Al says, "My human made mine into a cave! It's so warm and cozy... just snuggle right in." There you have it, right from this cat's mouth!
 
The Amazing Cat Toy from Mars The Amazing Cat Toy from Mars
The name of this cat toy alone is enough to make me want it! Even better, it's got all sorts of cool stuff that we cats love: the light vibrating light wire chirps and it's got a little ball end we can grab! According to the copy writer at Cat's Play, "No cat can resist its awesome powers!" Hopefully no human can resist buying it for their cat.
 
Barbie Wand Cat Toys Barbie™ Wand Cat Toys
Okay, so maybe the Barbie® brand isn't quite on the same level as, say, Tiffany, but doesn't your cat deserve a name toy? And these fuzzy, fluffy, fun wands make great stocking stuffers!
 
Pet Holiday High-Pile Mouse Cat Dangler Toy Pet Holiday™ High-Pile Mouse Cat Dangler Toy
More stocking stuffers - these festive dangling fuzzy mice are attached to a 10" plastic wand and come in a variety of colors. And they're inexpensive enough for you to buy several, so when your cat trashes one, you have spares onhand.
 
Santa Claws Cat Gift Basket Santa Claws Cat Gift Basket
I've saved the best for last! This sumptuous basket has everything you need to make your cat's holiday season the best ever! This cat gift basket is overflowing with treats - tuna treats, cat crunchies, even homemade Alaska Wildlife Cookies, to name a few. In addition, there's catnip tea, cat grass to grow at home, toys and lots more! All wrapped up nicely with a card to go with it. Available from Cat's Play until December 31 only! Click here for even more cat gift baskets! (There are also some gift baskets for dogs, but I can't help that.)
