Contrary to the opinions of certain people, being a cat lady is one of life’s greatest joys – in fact, it’s a label that myself, and fellow PS editor Sarah Wasilak, wear with great pride. The life of a cat owner is a simple, wholesome one: we prefer to spend evenings at home with our cats (when they’ll allow it), snuggle up together on the couch (again, when they’ll allow it), and shower them with treats and cat toys galore – which we’ll typically use as bait in order to achieve the former.
It’s a beautiful, complicated relationship between a cat parent and their fur baby, but it’s one we wouldn’t trade for the world. And with the holiday season nearing, we feel even more inclined to celebrate it. As PS shopping editors (and dedicated cat parents), Wasilak and I know that the most thoughtful gift we could ever receive is something that celebrates our cats and all that they add to our lives.
With that in mind, we’ve created a gift guide exclusively for fellow cat-lovers, complete with practical cat products and cat gifts that are endlessly unique – just like your relationship with your kitty. From Taylor Swift‘s cat backpack to a multilevel cat tree and a cat grass plant that’ll help improve their digestive health (and mitigate hairballs), these are the best gifts for cat-lovers – regardless of your cat’s breed or age.
