Start with a charitable organization. The Animal Rescue Site not only accepts donations, and offers you a chance to do a free “click” to donate to national animal causes, and offers a great variety of cat related items perfect for Christmas. Each gift you order comes with information about how much food your purchase can provide for sheltered animals and your cat lover will glow with pleasure at both the gift, and the donation. This is a perfect reflection of what Christmas is all about. (See Resources.)
Give a board game. Catopoly is a fun Monopoly version purrfect for your cat lover. Start a tradition of playing Catopoly on Christmas Eve and it really will be the gift that keeps on giving. Tokens are cat related, such as fish, mouse and milk bottles and spots on the board represent different cat breeds. You can easily order the game online, or pick it up at your larger pet store or supplier.
Give a subscription to "Cat Fancy" magazine. Chock full of information on cat health, training and more, this monthly gift would be most welcome for anyone who loves a cat. A mere $15 for a year’s subscription, this gift is not only thoughtful, but affordable.
Decorate his or her table with an Angel Cat Christmas tree. For $125 you get a lighted, ceramic tabletop tree covered with adorable cat-angels. Perfect for that elderly cat lover in a nursing home or small apartment.
Take a digital photo of your friend’s cat, and frame it in a cat related picture frame. Pet frames are widely available, and the recipient will really appreciate a nice portrait of their beloved four-pawed pal. Once you have a high-resolution image of the pet, you can also put it on a mug, mouse pad or T-shirt!
Offer services. Does your friend’s cat need grooming or does your elderly pet lover need help with tasks like cleaning the litter box or taking the cat in for annual vet visits? Make up a gift certificate for weekly litter box cleaning and/or supplies. This not only insures your friend’s cat gets cared for, but your friend as well.
Make up a gift basket for both owner and cat. Include some cat grass seeds and a pot and potting soil, some cat nip treats or toys, a cat picture frame and holiday ornament. Put it all in a woven basket kitty can sleep in. This gift will be both fun to put together and appreciated by the recipient.
