Cat Themed Everyday Drinking Glasses

There is no end to cat related products and gifts and cat drinking glasses are amongst them.

You can’t help but smile at a kitty glass and it is something that will be uniquely yours, unless someone else is the lucky recipient.

Sometimes I am not sure of the exact thing I am looking for, until I actually see it and then it’s crystal clear. I hope you enjoy this selection.

Cat Stocking Stuffers

Stocking stuffers are inexpensive and are a great small appreciation gift for a cat lover at any time of the year.

Stocking stuffers actually take up a fair amount of my thinking and shopping time as I look for inexpensive items but items that are also useful, have a purpose or are fun.

I’m not about to waste my money, even if it is only a few dollars. Here are some awesome cat stocking stuffer ideas or just small gift ideas for a cat lover.

ZZKKO Galaxy Animal Cat Lunch Bag Box Tote Organizer Lunch Container Insulated Zipper Meal Prep Cooler Handbag For Women Men Home School Office Outdoor Use

ARTOVIDA Artists Collective Insulated Neoprene Lunch Bag | Washable Soft Lunch Tote for School and Work - Design by Tobe Fonseca (Brazil) "Furr Division

The lunch totes are insulated to help keep food cold or warm plus they are gorgeous. There are many more cat themed lunch totes here and lots of different styles to suit all ages.

I use my lunch tote not only for work but also anywhere I go where I might be taking some drinks and nibbles. A bag is easy to carry. If it needs to be kept colder I just pop in one of the many ice packs I have accumulated that are always on standby in the freezer.

Cat Themed ideas For The Kitchen

Cat Magnets

I seem to be a bit of a magnet for collecting fridge magnets and have quite a few already. I have some magnets that I have had for years. They are probably just about collectors’ items.

There’s no denying that they are unbelievably useful (if used in moderation).

They are also useful for use on whiteboards and inside school lockers.

Decorative Magnets for Fridge – Glass Magnets for Refrigerator – Cute Fridge Magnets for Office and Kitchen

Aligle 16pcs Beautiful Glass Cat Refrigerator Magnets Cute Fridge Stickers Funny for Office Cabinets Whiteboards Decorative Photo Abstract Calendar Bulletin Board

MORCART 30PCS Cat Fridge Magnets for Refrigerator Locker Cute Magnets Kitchen School Cabinets Classroom Whiteboard Office Cubicle Magnetic Board Decorative Gifts for Adults Kids

These magnets are stored in a very cute carry box which is included.


Cat Dish Towels

Don’t think of them as boring because they are always practical and make the ideal stocking stuffer. Plus, there are some really cool cat dish towels.

Kay Dee 4 Piece Kitchen Set - 2 Terry Towels, Oven Mitt, Potholder (Crazy Cat)

DII Everyday Pets Kitchen Collection Absorbent Dishtowel Set, 18x28", Cat Print

Love these!

Now that I have convinced you that they are not boring and instead a highly practical gift for a practical person, there are more cat dish towels to browse here.


Cat Ice Cube Tray

Cat Shaped Ice Cube Tray - Fairly Odd Novelties - Fun & Cute Animal Replica Mold

These days, I only use silicone rubber ice cube trays. It is so much easier to get the ice cubes out of the tray than plastic trays.

Unlike plastic trays, I don’t have to worry about the BPA aspect. I don’t know why, but ice cube trays have a habit of disappearing in our house. Not quite as bad as socks, but running a close second.


Cat Tea Infuser Gift Set for Loose Leaf Tea, Mr and Mrs Kit-Tea

Cat Tea Infuser Set for Loose Leaf Tea for a mug or a cup, Cute Cat Tea Strainer Set for Enjoyable Tea Times with Friends, Animal Tea Steeper Set of 2, Pink and Mint Green

These cute little kitty tea infusers are made from food-grade silicone and just sit nicely over the rim of a cup or mug while the tea is brewing.

The bottom half pops off, and this is filled with tea. Tea infusers are great because you get the full flavor that only leaf tea can really supply. Just leave it to brew for as long as you like.

I put the tea leaves in the kitchen compost, so it’s a win-win all round. These little guys can be washed by hand or go in the dishwasher.

Pair this with a mug and some loose leaf tea for a gift.

The two adorable t-shirts below are from Triple T Studios. Any cat lover would just love Tripe T Studios not only for the gorgeous gear but also for the philosophy of the owner. This is a business with a true passion for cats. The quote below is taken form the Triple T Studio’s About page.

gifts for cat lovers ideas printed tshirt

This shirt is from triple T Studios. The t-shirt is also available in gray. I love the green and it is so “on trend” at the moment. Don’t forget St Patricks Day either! This is a real green-green not a half hearted green.

It is a soft shirt, printed in Ohio. There are 53 reviews and they are all five stars. That’s a pretty good endorsement.

Another t-shirt from Triple T Studios. This design really appealed to me and yes, who doesn’t think that their cat is the real owner of their home. Another clever design.


Cat Socks For Everyone

Mary jane Fuzzy Cat Socks

Snoozies Womens Mary Jane Fuzzy Animal Socks | Cat

These cute socks are lined with a soft thermal fleece. Thermal is my favorite word in winter.


Foot Traffic, Cat Stripe Knee High

I love over the knee socks. Last winter I wore over the knee socks a lot as I felt the cold, and wow, what a revelation for me. As long as they were not too thick and didn’t interfere with skinny jeans, they were a winner. I tend to kick my shoes off often at night. The cat seems to like my shoes. Does this happen to you too?

Cat Beanies

Women's Hat Cat Ear Crochet Braided Knit Caps,Black

A Triple T Studios design, another popular design. This one shown is called Space Kitty. There’s also a design with a black background and a pink and gray option. It’s a slouch-style beanie that can also be worn around the neck.


Black Cute Cat Beanie Knit Winter Hats for Women Girls Teens Slouchy Skull Caps

This is an acrylic beanie and is shown in the four colors shown above.


Pusheen Beanie Hat with Ears,Gray,Standard

This very cute beanie is made from cotton, a good alternative for those who don’t like wool or acrylic. Don’t you just love the design? This is a hugely popular beanie.


Cat Themed Jewellery

This cat-themed jewellery is not expensive and there are some really pretty pieces. I particularly love the ring holder, as it is both cute and practical.

Cat Earrings

S.Leaf Cat Earrings Pearl Earrings Sterling Silver Studs Earrings for Women

These pearl stud earrings are classic with the cat’s ears being a cute twist. They would ‘go with anything. My determining factor is always – Will they go with my jeans? If that gets the tick, well they are mine.

Plus they are VERY reasonably priced.


ZaH Pair of 925 Silver Earring Cartoon Animal Jewerly Gift Earring for Women, Men, Kids (Black cat)

How super cute are these earrings? I love the bold yet cute design. This is for your super cool friend of any age. They are sure to be a talking point.

They look as though they may be heavy however one purchaser said they are lightweight.


U7 Cute Cat Ear Pendant Platinum Plated Drop Earrings With Rhinestone


These earrings are just under 3/4 inch so just the perfect size, not too big and not too small. The earrings are boxed which is perfect for gift giving. The earrings are made from 925 sterling silver.


Ring holders-Cat themed

The first thing I always do when I get home from work or from being out somewhere, is take off any rings I don’t want to wear around the house.

Enter, a ring holder. A ring holder is perfect for popping rings onto, and it is a pretty piece of jewellery.

Some people like a ring holder in the bathroom or the kitchen. If you always put your rings on a ring holder, there is less chance of forgetting where they are or even worse, losing them and going into a panic when they can’t be found.

Umbra 299212-158 Zoola Cat Ring Holder, Chrome

This ring holder is metal (zinc alloy) with a shiny finish and is available in two colors – chrome and brass. The measurements are  (2-3/4 x 1 x 2-3/4-inches).


PUDDING CABIN Long Tail Cat Ring Holder Dish, Mother's Day Gift, Birthday Gift Women, Wedding Gift for Bridesmaid, Christmas Gift, Valentine's Day Gift for Female、 Wife 、Girls 、Friends

This cat ring holder is a dish which is particularly useful as rings can be put into the dish or on the tail. When we are tired a dish maybe an easier solution because other small items of jewellery can also be placed in a dish.

It measures 4″D x 4″W x 4″H.

Cat Gifts For Everyone

Cat Door Stopper

Our home has many doors that need door stoppers. That’s the price to pay when you live in a windy place.

I have one wrought iron stopper which is very effective however it’s awkward to move because it’s heavy, as it should be, but also quite small. I have to get down almost to the floor to pick it up which becomes annoying after a while.

Besides looking extremely cute, these cat door stoppers are much easier to pick up and move than an iron door stopper because of the design and height.

Marwood Cute Door Stopper Decorative Door Stops for Home and Office, Cat Weighted Interior Doorstop Fabric Stuffed Animal Door Stopper Floor Decorative

The measurements are 6.5 L x 4 W x 12 H inches and it weighs about 2 lb. It is heavy enough for an interior door but still easy enough to move out of the way.

If the door is heavy or an exterior door a heavier option would be a better choice.


Cat Grass

We always have a big container of cat grass for the cat to nibble on. A regular doggie visitor to the house also has a nibble.

Cat Grass or a Cat Grass Growing Kit is a great stocking stuffer as everything is included; soil, planter, and seeds. I can’t help with the green thumb, but it’s pretty easy to grow. Look at our cat grass (below), which is in a sizable pot.

Cats eat grass for digestive issues. This is a safe way to provide grass that has not been sprayed with insecticides.

This is our cat grass. Dogs like it too!

Books About Cats

Books About Cats For Kids

I have a soft spot for Golden Books which is partly nostalgic but they do always deliver when it comes to appealing to kids.

They have to appeal to the parents, grandparents and big sisters and brothers, and everyone else who reads the books to the kids.  

Kids love stories about cats and kittens. It is the true warm fuzzies and a nice way to end the day with a bedtime story.

I Love Cats! Activity Book: Meow-velous stickers, trivia, step-by-step drawing projects, and more for the cat lover in you! (I Love Activity Books)

This activity book is bursting with ideas and activities. As a guideline it would best suit ages 6-8. The book has 112 pages.

Pair with these cute cotton socks for ages 5 to 7 and there is one very cute gift for a cat lover.

Cats: 101 Amazing Facts about Cats: Cat Books for Kids


What Cat Is That?: All About Cats (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library)


Pete the Cat Saves Christmas: Includes Sticker Sheet!

Pete The Cat books are great for emergent readers. The sentences are not too complex and the images give great picture cues.

This is the sort of book I used to read to my kids before they could read and because they would become so familiar with the story I was reading, they were able to read the books themselves quite easily, when the time was right.

All reading strategies help but reading to your kids from Day One is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Little kids still need picture books.

I have a pile of handmade books one of my kids made, written and illustrated by him when he was a pre-schooler. He mainly wrote them for his little brother, ABC books, and truck books.

Build a lifelong love of reading and you have given your child a precious gift.

Everything Cat

Everything Cat: What Kids Really Want to Know about Cats (Kids Faqs)

This is a great book for kids who want to know more about their cats, a kids FAQ about cats.

It appeals to kids but is also not light and fluffy because there are reasons for the information, so you do get a decent answer.

This is the sort of book that can be picked up and put down and passed on to other kitty lovers, even Mums, and Dads because the information is interesting and relevant.


A Books About Cats For Adults

How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You (The Oatmeal Book 2)

This is hilarious and will appeal to any cat lovers, adults this time not kids although older kids may understand the humor.

As a cat owner, everything is highly relatable. Matthew Inman has the gift of being able to translate cat and human behavior and how they intersect in a very funny way.

This is a fun read and will make you laugh out loud.


More Cat Books For Adults

You don’t have to be a cat lover to enjoy shopping for kitty cat-related gifts.

It may be easier if you are and if by now you are teetering on the side of becoming a cat lover we will keep your secret.

Don’t tell the dog. He’s not listening anyway.  He’s waiting for food.
