Hairless Cat Lover Gifts

If someone you know owns a hairless cat, chances are good that they have a sense of humor. They may see the odd as beautiful; the eccentric as fabulous. Some owners claim that the true spirit of these lovely, unusual beings is something to be celebrated. If you are lucky enough to know some of these fine folk, gift giving should never be stressful. If they are passionate about their pets, why not give them something that will represent their love for their not so furry friends?

  1. Bath Time Gift Basket

    • Hairless cats require quite a bit of maintenance. Because of their peach fuzz-like fur, they cannot groom themselves the way an average cat can. They must be bathed regularly, so a great option for a gift is to put together a bath time basket. Assemble a basket that include cat shampoos, washcloths, fuzzy towels and sun block (baby variety) for those days that kitty ventures outside.

    Clothes

    • Because these cats are essentially naked, some hairless cat owners dress their felines in clothes to offer warmth. Many local and online suppliers present a variety of cat clothing that is easily customizable. Consider the recipient's personality, and pick out an outfit that is both functional and endearing. Seasonal costumes can be a big hit with pet owners.

    Colored Soft Nail Caps

    • Many cat owners decide not to declaw their pets. It is a humane choice, yet it can leave their household prone to scratched floors, ripped up carpet or torn upholstery. Given the fact that hairless cats are essentially "undecorated," colored soft nail caps will be much more apparent on a hairless cat than a traditional cat. They safely cover the nail to prevent scratching, and are available in a wide variety of colors to make a hairless cat extra fashionable. For a functional yet funky gift idea for a clawed hairless cat owner, consider combining this gift with a matching outfit.

    Cat Carrier

    • Hairless cats do not have the protective benefit of fur when they are exposed to the elements, therefore they can catch a chill easily. An appropriate-sized cat carrier outfitted with luxurious bedding can be a wonderful gift idea for a hairless cat owner. Include a variety of warm blankets for the cat to snuggle in, and provide a spray bottle of either lavender or chamomile floral water (not essential oils; they can be very toxic to pets) that the owner can spritz onto the bedding to calm their cat when the often aggravating task of bringing their cat to the vet arises.
