15 clever gifts for cat fanatics

Gifts that are sure to satisfy cat owners

Wrapping and the box
Most cats will probably turn their noses up at any fancy gifts they receive and pay more attention to the wrapping and the box. But cat owners still love giving and receiving gifts for cats, despite the snootiness of their feline pets. Here are 15 gifts that are sure to satisfy cat owners — and maybe their fluffy friends too.

Spoil your cat with a box of treats every month.

The monthly PurrBox fits right through the letterbox and contains a surprise selection of toys and treats. Each box also contains an envelope of catnip, a month's supply of cat grass, and the "PurrPost" newsletter which explains the contents of the box and provides tips on looking after your cat and understanding their behaviour. It all comes wrapped up in tissue paper, which cats love to play with too.

This toy is fun for the cat, even when the owner is not in the mood.

The best way to work out whether or not to buy Cat's Meow is to watch the YouTube videos.

Make sure everyone knows it's Fluffy's food with these personalised bowls.

Cats notoriously don't like sharing, so this personalised bowl will let everyone in the household know whose dinner belongs inside.
