If your cat is a major scratcher, this scratching post is one of the best gifts for cat lovers and will be a great birthday present this year. It’s tall height (32”) encourages cats to stretch vertically and it has a study base so you (and your cat!) don’t need to worry about it falling over.
Hey, maybe if you’re really lucky, you’ll even safe your sofa from a few scratches here and there.
We’ve seen some very flimsy scratching posts over the years, and while they can do the job, it’s only a matter of time until they start coming apart or falling over constantly. This cat scratching post from Pioneer Pet is not flimsy, it’s a very sturdy post so that’s always a plus! As far as cat presents go, this one is a good one and your cat will love it.
We love:
- The modern design. It’s cute enough to keep with the rest of your furniture!
- It’s made out of fibrous woven sisal fiber, a durable material that won’t get torn to shreds in a few weeks.
Your cat will love:
- The opportunity to fully-stretch vertically – cats love to stretch, it helps raise their blood pressure and to tone muscles!
- The secure base – some scratching posts can be quite wobbly, making a distressing and possibly dangerous experience for your cat!
3. Kitty Cot Original World’s Best Cat Perch
- Mounts to Windows using Giant PATENTED USA Suction Cups
- Humane Society Approved and Easy to Clean with Soap and Water
- Made with Super Tough 3/4" PVC Plastic Pipe and Fittings
- We use only the BEST Outdoor and Rugged Fabric
- Our Support Cables are 1/8" Steel to last Forever
There probably isn’t a house-cat in the world that doesn’t love looking out the window, so why not make it a more relaxing experience for your cat? This cat perch is a great gift for the cat lover and uses patented USA suction cups to adhere to windows, giving cats a favorable vantage point for viewing the outdoors (but mostly birds).
If you don’t like your cat knocking around on the windowsill or the back of the couch or a table near a window, give this perch a try. It comes in three different sizes, and you could even get more than one, so that your cat can use them like steps to get a view from higher up.
We love:
- How easy it is to move from window to window while remaining secure enough to hold up to 25 pounds.
- The different sizes to accommodate window sizes.
- The mental stimulation provided. When your cat looks outside, they are stimulated by the different environment – the wildlife, people, nature, etc.
Your cat will love:
- Having a spot to safely look outside and relax.
- Feeling like they’re “on top of the world”.

- 🎍 Elegant Bento Box: A bamboo-print package that adds a touch of sophistication.
- 🪡 Durable Craftsmanship: Expertly machine-sewn for extended play sessions.

If you’re a sushi lover, this sushi-shaped catnip plush will make a great birthday present for your feline pal. It’s super soft and lightweight, making it easy for cats of all ages to play. You shouldn’t feed your cat real sushi, even though they’ll probably love the smell of it, but you can definitely let them have a go at this plush!
We love:
- The sushi design – they’re adorable and not like anything we’ve seen before!
- They’re well-made – important for cats that tend to destroy toys remarkably fast. Let’s face it, it’s not going to last forever, but there’s a noticeable difference when you’ve got a cheaply made toy compared to a well made one.
Your cat will love:
- The gentle rattle – some cat toys can be loud and if it bothers you, it probably bothers your cat too.
- How lightweight they are – it doesn’t take much force for your cat to knock them across the room.
5. Prosper Pet Cat Tunnel
Cat tunnels are a great toy for encouraging play and exercise in cats and make for great presents. Additionally, a cat’s instinct as a predator is to hunt and stalk their prey and a tunnel helps support that behavior. If you have a laser pointer or a fishing pole type of toy, you can have so much fun playing with your cat using a tunnel. Let them feel like they’re out in the wild hunting, except instead of dinner, their prize is your amusement and their exercise.
We love:
- That it is easily collapsible and portable. As much as we want to your cat to play in this tunnel, we understand why you wouldn’t want a cat tunnel taking up your living room floor indefinitely.
- The different colors and designs available. You will have no trouble finding something that you like!
Your cat will love:
- The crinkle material inside the tunnel. Most cats go crazy for the noise!
- Hiding, running, and “stalking their prey” while building muscle and having fun playing.

It uses Mylar technology to create heat by reflecting your cat’s own body heat, providing a warm and cozy bed without the risks included with electricity.
Sometimes cats have accidents, or claw through things, and the idea of having an electric bed can make some people nervous, so this is a great alternative. If you live somewhere that’s not as warm during parts of the year, this will be of particular interest to you. Our cats bodies don’t always align with what is a comfortable temperature for us,
We love:
- That our cats can have a warm bed without using electricity.
- It’s available in different sizes – perfect for single cats or having room for multiple cats.
- The reasonable price range – comparable beds are priced significantly higher.
Your cat will love:
- Snoozing and relaxing in a warm, cozy bed.
- The portability – anywhere they go, their bed can easily travel with them.
7. TrixiePet Baza Cat Tree
- Wrapped in soft long-haired plush fabric
- Natural sisal wrapped scratching posts
- Hammock with metal rim for added support
- Dangling pom pom toy
- Age range description: all life stages
For a place your cat can relax and scratch, you might want to consider TrixiePet’s Baza Cat Tree. It’s covered in plush fabric with natural sisal wrapped posts that your cat will love digging their claws into and includes a welcoming hammock for rest time.
We love:
- The plush hammock – it looks like an inviting place for your cat to have a snooze.
- The sisal wrapped posts – most cats are naturally inclined to dig their claws right in.
- The different models available – you should have no trouble finding a size to fit into your space and feline needs.
Your cat will love:
- Climbing – cats are skillful climbers who like being in high places. The taller versions of this bed with multiple levels will help fill this need to climb.
- Scratching – all cats need to scratch something to maintain their claws as well as mark their territory. Sisal wrapped posts are a much better target than your sofa!
8. Go Cat Da Bird Feather Toy
- Realistic feather toy activates your cat's hunting instinct
- Pull-a-part rod for easy storage
- Cats love its flight-like motion and prey-like appearance
- Public Alert: Hide toys when not in use and supervise your pet while playing at all times
- Hand crafted in the USA
Go Cat’s Da Bird is one of the most popular cat toys available. Most cats go wild over the trio of feathers and trying to catch their “prey” so there’s no doubt that it could easily become one of your cat’s favorite toys.
This would be a lot of fun to use with the cat tunnel we featured earlier on this list, and it’s honestly a blast to play with. Guests who come over to your house, even if they aren’t cat lovers, will probably have way too much fun with this and your cat will love all of the extra attention and playtime.
We love:
- How realistic the feathers move and sound during play. It’s easy to see why cats lose their marbles over them!
- That you can buy replacement “birds” instead of needing to replace the entire toy.
Your cat will love:
- Having the opportunity to practice their hunting skills.
- The quality time spent with their favorite human – you.

Each toy comes with three levels of tracks, each with their own ball to keep your cat busy and entertained. It is a great present for cat lovers.
You’ll love:
- Not stepping on random cat toys or having them lost around your house.
- Watching your cat play, “hunt” and bat at each ball.
- Knowing that your cat is having fun while being mentally stimulated.
Your cat will love:
- The endless fun – no more worrying about toys getting stuck in hard to reach places.
- The non-slip base making the toy more sturdy and easier to play with.
- Having multiple balls to play with – unlike other tower toys that only have one level with one ball. This makes for a more enriching experience for your little pal.

Unlike traditional cat brushes, this glove traps loose hair so you won’t have to worry about breathing it in or having it fall all over while brushing your cat. It’s easy to keep clean between uses and can be used wet or dry. This makes it one of the best gifts for lovers of cats.
We love:
- Making brush time easier – it’s no fun trying to brush a cat that is either trying to bite your hand or bite the brush.
- That it helps trap hair – this is so important for a house trying to lower allergens and for ease of cleaning as well.
Your cat will love:
