Having a cat person on your holiday gift list is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because narrowing down your options to exclusively feline-adjacent objects in a way makes the shopping process that much more streamlined. However, shopping for a cat person is also a curse because so much of the made-for-kitty-lovers marketplace can veer tragically corny or basic. What we do not want is to simply get a passing grade from our ride-or-die cat ladies — so the trick is to seek out super-fun gift ideas adorned with different iterations of our furry little friends that are actually chic and practical.
Since cat people are very specific people, they deserve a list of very specific gifts that honor their meowing companions. Ahead, we’ve rounded up 20 gifts, from tiny stocking stuffers to over-the-top fashion pieces, all bearing our favorite domesticated pet. (Don’t tell dog people I’ve said this.)
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
