We want to help tick one task off your list, by providing gift ideas for pet parents. 

So, read on, to discover stocking filler inspiration if you’re buying for your cat this Christmas…

Festive treats for your feline

Food is a firm favourite with most of our feline friends. Therefore, opting to gift them some tasty treats for Christmas is a lovely way to show your cat how much they mean to you!

However, before exploring delicious cat treats to add to your shopping list, it’s important to note that cats should only be offered food that’s safe for them. We recommend checking out our article about what’s safe for your cat to eat at Christmas, for feline-friendly festive feast inspiration.

Remember: Your cat always needs access to fresh, clean drinking water, especially after a yummy treat.

Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, these yummy turkey-flavoured Dreamies Cat Treats are sure to help your cat feel part of the Christmassy fun! Jam-packed with lots of lovely vitamins and minerals, these treats are the pawfect festive gift for your feline friend. 

Adult cats are allowed up to 20 treats a day so you must factor this into their daily food ration.

Thanks to the fresh ingredients and grain-free recipe used to make this tasty turkey treat, it’s suitable for cats aged eight weeks and over!

Top toys for Christmas cats

Some cats are filled with joy at the sight of a toy! So, why not gift them something fun this Christmas? After all, it’s heartwarming to watch a feline friend enjoy a toy you’ve chosen especially for them.

A toy could also offer an opportunity for your feline friend to exercise natural behaviours – like chasing, pouncing, and jumping. Though it’s essential that the toy you’re giving your cat is the right size for them and not small enough to become a choking hazard. 

Important: Please supervise your cat while they’re playing with toys, to prevent any injuries and stop them from swallowing things they shouldn’t.

Rosewood Silvervine Cat Toys

Not only does the plush feel of these Rosewood Silvervine Cat Toys appeal to your cat’s hunting instincts, but they also contain Silverline – an alternative to catnip. Silverline is said to trigger an excited response in some cats, which often leads to playfulness, whereas in others, Silverline inspires a sense of calm.
