When shopping for holiday gifts, a great way to narrow down the options is to consider what your recipient is passionate about. From gifts for book lovers to gifts for artists, choosing a unique gift that speaks to their interests makes the present much more personal. If you have a cat person in your life, the good news is that much like cats themselves, the best gifts for cat lovers come in all shapes and sizes.
You’ll find adorable cat lover gifts that are really for the cat, like a laptop scratcher or a grow-your-own cat grass kit. Then there are the gifts that both humans and their feline companions can enjoy, like a treat-tossing, 360-degree cat camera from Furbo. For your cat-obsessed loved one who spoils the kitty with everything from an automatic cat feeder to their very own cat Christmas stocking full of new toys, you might opt for a cat mom gift that’s actually for her, such as a custom pet embroidered sweatshirt.
Our list features cat owner-approved picks for every budget and personality. Whether you’re searching for inexpensive stocking stuffer ideas for cat lovers, cat-themed gifts under $20, under $30, under $50, or luxury gifts for cat people, you’ll find all the best gift ideas for cat lovers ahead.
