If it were up to the cat lover in your life, they'd have a national holiday to show others just how incredible cats — their feline, especially — are. Since that's not exactly the case, find any and every occasion to celebrate the cat mom or dad in your life with a gift made with the feline-obsessed in mind. These gifts for cat lovers check all the boxes: They range in price, personalization, and most importantly, purr-sonality.
Several of these unique gift ideas will bring happy tears to their eyes (a personalized paw print ring), while others lean into the gag of it all (cat-themed tarot cards). But it goes without saying that the best gift you can give any pet parent on Christmas day is one that'll put a smile on their furbaby's face, so we made sure to include several pet gifts that their four-legged friend can put to use (a monthly subscription box filled with treats and toys). No matter if you go the funny, sentimental, or practical route with your gift pick, your cat-loving pal will definitely feel the love this holiday season ... especially once their cat is curled up on their lap.
