It’s often said that cats own us, not the other way round. If that’s true, you can be sure that any cat owner would really appreciate a present inspired by their feline friend, just as much as dog owners appreciate a dog themed gift. Here’s some ideas for the best gifts for cat owners.

Cat Home Accessories
Whether you’re looking for gifts for women or men who love cats, bringing their favourite furry friend into their home decor could be a great idea. A cat themed doormat will let everyone know who rules the house as soon as they arrive. Buy cat print pillowcases for the bed, or a blanket with cat paw prints for cosy pieces your friend can curl up in with their cat.
Mugs are always a popular gift, and you can friend could enjoy it at home or at work. Buy a mug with a cute or funny cat design, or have one printed with a picture of their own cat, for something really personal. What about cat magnets to stick on the fridge? You could have these made using pictures of their cat or buy a quirky option like magnets shaped like the back end of a cat.
You could buy something special for the cat. A smart bed or cosy cat cave will be well received by the cat and the humans. A bed that can hang on a radiator could also be popular.
Does your friend’s cat have more Instagram than you? You could take some of their photos and have them made into a photobook that your friend can display on the coffee table and enjoy their favourite cat memories.
Presents For The Cat
Do you think your friend would appreciate a gift for the cat more than for them? Try and find something that will be either useful for humans if the cat uses it, or that they can enjoy using with their cat.
Does your friend often complain that their cat makes a mess when eating? A raised set of food and water bowls can help stop the cat from flicking their dinner everywhere, which is a very practical gift.
A smart collar, with a design that reflects your friend’s personality, could be a good gift too. Just be sure to choose a breakaway style so the cat doesn’t get caught on anything. Why not gift some toys that your friend can use to play with their cat? Feather wands, small balls or catnip toys are popular, and fun for the cat. Look for good quality toys that will stand up to some rough play from the cat.
If your friend has nice furniture that they’re worried about the cat scratching up, give them a cat tree or scratching post. Kitty can get their claws into it, and your friends furniture will be saved from claw marks.
Cat Accessories
If your friend is a real cat lover, they might appreciate clothing or accessories that show off how much they love their cat. Accessories are a more subtle way to do this, and make a great gift. Cat earrings, or a soft scarf with a cat print make pretty presents.
For something bolder, why not give them a cat jumper or shirt, printed with paw prints or a picture of a cat? Pin badges can be added to a bag or jacket, and come in hundreds of styles, meaning you can find something perfect.
A cat themed phone case makes a great stocking filler. Choose a cute design, or have a custom one printed with pictures of your friend’s cat. A case with cat ears is a cute choice too. Headphones with cat ears are becoming increasingly popular, so why not choose these as a fun, quirky gift who loves music or listening to podcasts on their way to work. They’re also a great gift for someone who uses headphones for playing video games.
Cat Stationery
Coloring books for adults became very popular recently as a tool for stress relief. If you think your friend would enjoy getting back to this childhood hobby, why not gift them some nice coloring pencils and coloring book with lots of pictures of cats?
Cat stationery could be a fun gift for an officemate who loves cats. Look for cat printed notebooks or planners. Cat pens, post-it notes or push pins could be great for the office too. How about a cat print business card holder, or a pen holder for their desk?
