Chances are that the cat lovers in your life are crazy about their pets!  There are now more households with cats than dogs in America.  Cats are affectionate companions who truly become part of the families they join.  Their owners are more than likely interested in anything cat-related.  There are hundreds of gift options for the feline appreciators on your gift list.

If you want to get something for the cat himself, there are many items to choose from.  Attractive food bowls can take the place of the cheap, utilitarian containers they are eating from now.  Collars and ID tags are a great way to keep cats safe and fashionable.  How about a rhinestone-studded collar for that elegant Abyssinian?  Or something in a simple blue to match the eyes of your favorite Siamese?  Colorful ID tags with the cat’s name and the number of the owner will ensure that she is returned promptly if she slips out and can’t find her way home.  

Scratching posts and cat trees are not only fun for cats, but can provide relief for owners who are fed up with scratched or shredded furniture.  Active cats love climbing on cat furniture, which is available in many colors and fabrics.   You are sure to be able to match your pet-loving friend’s décor.

There are many boutiques, which specialize in cat gifts and gifts for cat owners.  Does your sister like to take her cat with her when she travels?  Get her a fashionable new carrier – her cat will be proud to be transported in a handsome pet bag. 
 

People who love cats will appreciate gifts with images of their favorite animal.  Cats have figured in art for centuries, from Egyptian tomb engravings to Japanese wood prints.  A reproduction of an ancient painting or sculpture makes a wonderful present.  Ceramics, prints and statuary are all readily available both online and in brick and mortar stores.  Museum shops are a great place to find classic artworks featuring felines.  

Calendars, note cards and stationary are all useful gifts. How about books about cats?  Here are some titles, which will teach your pet-loving friend even more about the animal she loves.
