Cooking for Cats book

Thanks to this book, cat lovers can choose from a variety of recipes to make for their cats. The book includes 20 recipes for treats, snacks, and food. It even includes tips for managing your cat’s diet, as well as fun cat craft projects like a scratching post, a cat pillow, and an indoor cat garden.

Cat heads throw blanket

This super cozy blanket is made of soft sherpa fleece, so it gets softer the more that it’s washed. It features an adorable cat print, and matching pillows are also available if you’d like to gift an entire set. The blanket is available in three sizes, too, so there’s plenty of room for plenty of cats.

Custom pet coffee mug

Cat lovers can enjoy coffee, tea, and other beverages out of this mug personalized with their cat’s face on it. All you need to do is include a photo of the cat and an artist will turn the photo into a customized work of art. The kitty is then printed onto the ceramic mug so it’s resistant to fading, peeling, and scratching. The mug is microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and available in 11- or 15 fluid-ounce sizes.

It’s the thought that counts

When shopping for a cat lover, any of these items would make for a great gift. If you want to make the gift extra-special, then consider including some items that the recipient can share with their cat. Adding in some treats or cat toys shows that you’re considerate of the recipient’s cats, too. Alternatively, think about making a donation to an animal shelter in the recipient’s name, or in the name of their cat. Shelters and rescues depend largely on donations, and a donated gift is a great way to make a meaningful, long-lasting impact.

Sorry, but your cat may need a bath. Here's how to get the job done

Cat parenthood has some perks. Felines are generally more independent than dogs (and easier to potty train). Also, recent research suggests rooming in with a cat at night is less of a disturbance than sleeping with a pup. Another perk? You probably can get by never bathing your cat. Cats take pride in their hygiene, and their barbed, sandpaper-like tongues typically do the trick and keep them clean and healthy. However, the keywords here are "probably" and "typically."

Sometimes, bathing a cat is a necessary evil, such as if they get sick or have something on their fur that a tongue-shower can't fix. Understandably, giving your kitty a scrub session may be at the bottom of your pet parenthood bucket list (if it even made the cut). Yet, knowing how to bathe a cat correctly can help you get your pet clean without getting hurt. This comprehensive guide scratches below the surface.
