I’ve never really thought about holiday gifts for pets until my cats became family. Now, I want to give them something special every year. So, for anyone else who’s planning to get their kitties gifts, what are you getting? Ideas and links are welcome!
Sneakers always gets tuna, Halibel sticks to her catnip toys, and Neliel will have her favorite treats. Simple but they love it.

Fish for Christmas is a great idea. Sneakers must be thrilled!
I’m buying my cat a crash-tested carrier for safer travel. Also, her favorite treats as a bonus.

Crash-tested carrier? Can you share the link? I only use carriers for short trips, but I’m planning a long-distance move and safety is a big concern.

Still deciding which one to buy, but here’s one I’m looking at: Amazon.com: Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed (Arctic White) : Pet Supplies.

Wow, that’s so helpful. Thanks!
Instead of gifts, we’re donating to animal shelters in our pets’ names. It feels right since our pets already have plenty. If you’re considering a gift for a shelter, dried herring is a fantastic option!
@Jovi
That’s such a wonderful idea!
A Christmas-themed toy and three churus instead of just one this year.
I buy advent calendars with treats for my cats so they have something special every day of December. Here’s one I love: 25 Day Advent Calendar Chicken Flavor Cat Treat - Wondershop™ 4.3oz : Target.
I always wrap my pets’ gifts. They usually get new toys and a bag of treats. If I’m short on money, I make them DIY paper toys or give them canned tuna.
My cat gets a big tub of churus, a fish fillet dinner, a new collar, toys, and a new cat tower. The dog is getting a bison horn, stuffies, and a new bed. No kids here, so I spoil the fur babies.

Going all out! Love it.
First time getting a stocking for my cat since childhood. It will definitely have treats, but I’m still thinking about other surprises.
My cats are getting turkey and heated beds. I really hope they leave my bed alone after this!
We can’t have a tree because of Loki, but he’s getting a box to play with and Tony will get his beloved plastic straws.
We call her favorite treat ‘kitty pudding,’ and she refuses anything else except the dog’s beef lung treats! Here’s the link if anyone’s curious: Amazon.com: INABA Churu Cat Treats, Grain-Free, Lickable, Squeezable Creamy Purée Cat Treat/Topper with Vitamin E & Taurine, 0.5 Ounces Each Tube, 20 Tubes, Seafood Variety Box : Pet Supplies.
Last year, she got 50 ping pong balls. Still considering what to do this time.
