With the holidays fast-approaching, by now, you must almost be done with your Christmas shopping for presents. But wait! How about your fur baby? Cats do love presents, too! And what better way to show your love than to lavish your pet with gifts that he will surely love and enjoy. So how do you know what would be the best Christmas gifts for cats?

 

Experts recommend gifts that offer opportunities for cats to engage in natural behaviours. Cats are natural predators and even with domestication, their predator instincts are still quite strong. They love to behave as if they are tracking down prey, catching, pouncing, climbing, and other hunting behaviours.

 

Of course, the choice of presents for cats will depend to a large extent on the cat’s age, activity level, personality, and personal preference. So here’s are our top general suggestions for the perfect Christmas gifts for your feline friend.

 

 

1. Catnip Toys

Catnip toys are always a good idea especially if your kitty is responsive to catnip. Choose plush toys that can be refilled with fresh catnip. Forget about catnip mice and go for the newer and fancier Yeowww catnip toy collection. Your furball will certainly go crazy with Yeowww! Green Fish Cat Toy, Yeowww! Purrr! – Muda Triangle Green Cat Toy, Yeowww! -ola Crayons Cat Toy, and a whole bunch of other catnip-filled plush toys with colourful designs.
