A well-known fact is that most cat lovers know no bounds in showing their endless appreciation for these adorable fur balls. However, you'll find that your average cat lovers typically come in two breeds.
Those who cherish cats so much that they'll appreciate receiving anything cat-related, and those who hold their cats very dearly and would love to immortalize them with personalized cat gifts.
To get started, you can always browse gifts for pets to find really unique ones on Etsy, and also check out our selections below.
General Cat Lover Gifts
1. Quail Egg Yolk for Cats
A nutritious snack or a topper for a raw-food diet, this quail egg yolk is freeze-dried carefully to ensure it is long-lasting but still retains all the good nutrients. Packed with protein and a selection of beneficial vitamins, quail egg yolks are the perfect additive to your cat's diet if you're currently avoiding eating chicken eggs or chicken in general.
2. Ripple Rug Cat Activity Mat
Cats seem never to want to stop playing, making this large activity mat one of the best cat lover gifts for those whose fur balls need more exercise. This is a dual-layered rug that can be set up in many configurations. The top layer has cut-up holes through which the cat can peek or poke a little paw.
Buy the Ripple Rug on Chewy.
3. Yeowww! Catnip Banana
This banana-shaped toy is filled with organically-grown catnip and dyed with natural substances that are entirely non-toxic for cats. They will adore this shape, making it irresistible for bunny kicking or nuzzling. In addition, the catnip inside is high-quality, ensuring your crazy cat will cool down and relax after sniffing it. Remember, though - only 60% of cats react to catnip - so make sure your kitty or the one you are buying for it is a catnip kitty!
Buy the Yeowww! Catnip Banana on Amazon, Chewy, The Cat Connection, eBay or PetFlow.
4. Litter-Lifter
This nifty little cat litter scoop has such a practical and innovative design. It may become a game-changer for any cat owner and one of the most useful gifts for cats. The feature that sets it apart from its competitors is how the blades were conceived - the peaked blades prevent litter from getting caught in and clogging the scooper.
Buy the Litter-Lifter on Amazon or on The Cat Connection.
5. Zen Clippers
This is the ultimate gift for cat owners who have difficulty cutting their cats' nails. Especially if they cannot identify the quick area on the cat's nail - the blood flow area of the nail. Suppose the cat has a tendency to wiggle during this process. In that case, the Zen Clippers are ideal since they can prevent unpleasant scenarios, such as pain and bleeding.
Buy the Zen Clipper on Amazon or on Zen Clipper's website.
6. Be Forever Furless Brush by Lilly Brush
Most cat owners struggle with removing cat hair from their clothes and homes, but to no avail. However, this Be Forever Furless Brush can do this since it is specifically designed for pet hair removal. In addition, with its ergonomic shape, this brush is an excellent alternative to carrying around a vacuum or using a lint roller.
7. Necoichi Cat Cozy Scratcher Bed
Cats have an impressive need for sleep and an equally considerable compulsion to scratch and sharpen their nails. With this in mind, the Necoichi Scratcher Bed is a gift that satisfies both needs: a bed and a scratcher. In addition, this practical gift is made of corrugated cardboard, making it a long-lasting and, ultimately, a recyclable product.
8. Felix Katnip Tree Company Scratching Beam
An excellent product that puts a different spin on the vertical scratching beam, the Felix beam is a horizontal scratcher to mimic a stair to which so many cats tend to be attracted. This practical beam is covered in hemp, a rough texture that all cats love, and is supported by rubber feet, which prevent the product from slipping away.
9. PurrFur Modern Cardboard Scratch Pad
A two-in-one gift, the PurrFur Scratch Pad is a scratch pad and a bed that cats can use for some nap time after they've finished sharpening their claws. Its retro and stylish design makes it a perfect addition to any home. Not only will its new owner not mind having it around, but it will use it as a home decor accessory.

The Blackhole Catch, The Tail Cat Toy, is an interactive cat toy that will engage your cat to play without you having to participate. It is an excellent toy for cats of all ages, and it comes with five-speed settings and a squeaking mouse sound to make it even more attractive to your cat.

13. Bowsers Pet Bed Urban Lounger
A cat bed like no other, the Bowsers Pet Bed Urban Lounger is made by a Canadian manufacturing company. They use high-quality fabrics that come together through exquisite craftsmanship. The bed is washable and durable, making it a tempting gift for any cat owner willing to invest in quality and comfort.

14. Cat pattern Wooden Rolling Pin
Got a cat lover friend who also loves to bake? Another great gift for a cat lover would be something as quirky and practical as a cat-patterned wooden rolling pin. This would make an excellent addition to the kitchen and a great conversation starter when cookies come out of the oven in an adorable cat pattern. This rolling pin is made of natural birch wood and is treated with a non-toxic oil.
15. Gloves with Cat Silhouette
There are no seasonal restrictions when showing appreciation for cats. This is why a cat-themed cozy pair of gloves would also make a great gift in chillier months. They are made of a soft and warm type of wool and have an endearing cat design on the palms. Think crazy cat lady or any cat lady, in general.
Buy these cute cat gloves on Etsy.
16. Cat Coloring Book
Undoubtedly, many people would enjoy a coloring book filled with fun silhouettes of cats in various positions and breeds. As a result, adult coloring books have caught the spotlight these past few years. For a good reason, too. Coloring can have a powerful, calming, and soothing effect.
17. Fuzz/Fetch! Alpaca Ball Toy for Cats 3 Pack
These colorful handmade balls are a lot of fun for cats, who will love to paw them around and chase them. They're made from alpaca fibers wrapped in sheep wool and come in various shades (which you can request or get a mix). You can also order them pre-steeped in catnip tea, and they can be refreshed and re-steeped at home.
18. Pet Store Gift Card
Then again, each cat owner ultimately has different needs when it comes to providing for their cat. This is why the best gift you could give a cat lover would be a gift card to their local pet store. This way, they can get whatever they need or want.
Buy gift cards on Amazon or in the store of your choice.
19. Cat Bracelet
This is a fashion statement, and a beautiful piece of jewelry made to show your love for cats; a mini cat bracelet is a perfect gift for any cat lover. It's made of qualitative materials and gives off a subtle note of elegance.
Buy this sweet cat bracelet on Etsy.
20. Donation to a Local Shelter
On a similar note, many cat lovers out there would do anything to help out abandoned or suffering cats. However, they may not be able to contribute as much as they'd like. With this in mind, they'd love it if you donated in your name to your local shelter.
21. Subscription to a Cat Box
Crazy cat lady or not, your friend may very well love to find out she is now a happy subscriber to a monthly cat lady box like CrateJoy. Cat box subscriptions usually contain several items ideal for any cat lady: cat t-shirts, cat jewelry, cat art, and cat home decor.
22. Cat Litter Mat
Any cat owner knows the struggle of dealing with litter that just gets scattered around their homes. A good cat litter mat will address this issue through its unique design to help cat owners have cleaner floors.
23. Gift Card to an Online Pet Store
Following the same idea from #21, you could also make a cat lover happy by offering them a gift card to an online pet store, such as Chewy.com, OnlyNaturalPet.com, PetFlow, and The Cat Connection. This way, they can get anything they want from the comfort of their own home.
24. Prime Membership at Amazon
Another great idea in the series of cat-lover gifts would be a Prime membership at Amazon. This would give them free or discounted access to various cat shows and two-day shipping for cat products for an entire year.

28. Cats on Catnip Book
What greater delight than to have a beautifully put-together photo collection of cats on catnip? In the Cats on Catnip book, you'll find many beautiful cats at their silliest, as a professional pet photographer immortalized them.
29. Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Treat Puzzle Dog Toy by Outward Hound
The Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Treat Puzzle Dog Toy is a pet toy that helps animals exercise their minds. Pets have to flip open the top compartments, paw and nuzzle to remove the middle compartments, and then slide the blocks into the lower compartments to get the treats inside. It turns eating into an enjoyable activity and improves a pet's mind.
30. Scratchy Ramp
After several readers asked me if we had reviewed the Scratchy Ramp, I finally researched to find the company behind it. I reached out to see if they could send us one to review - not knowing they had two sizes. They were so kind and sent us both sizes to check out. Here's our unboxing video - both ramps were a hit as soon as I pulled them out of the box.
You can grab one here: and use the Scratchy Ramp discount code FLOPPYCATS20 to save 20% - that code also works as an Alpha Paw promo code or coupon code and works on the Paw Ramp.
