Christmas is here, and with it comes the excitement of gifts! Many humans also remember their cats during this time of year, and of course, they leave them a little present under the tree. If you’re still unsure what to do this Christmas or need some ideas, at Ownat we’ve put together a list of the best gifts for your cat. Take note!
Cats have a very particular personality (what can we tell you that you don’t already know, right?), so giving them a gift, as hard as it may seem, is not an easy task. Here, we’ve put together a small list of foolproof ideas to make sure you get it right this Christmas. Let’s go!
Wet food for top-notch taste buds
Wet food is irresistible, and all you need to do is choose the right recipe. At Ownat (and we recommend this because we know they love it) we have the Wetline range, with recipes like: chicken, tuna, turkey, shrimp, herring, and beef with extra vegetables, potato and sweet potato, aromatic herbs, olive oil, salmon, and more. Come on, a delicious plate never fails!
A water fountain – let the fun begin!
Cats looove fresh water, which is why they enjoy playing with faucets, dipping their paws in again and again. There are really fun fountains with lights, water jets, adjustable intensities – you can find them in both physical and online stores! Plus, a fountain has a double purpose: not only do they have fun, but they also learn to drink more often, which is very good for their health.
The dream cave-toy
Have you seen or heard of these? They are basically small, super soft and cozy nests with a ball inside (to attract the cat to enter). Once inside, the nest becomes a little refuge, and your kitty feels super comfortable and snug. It’s amazing – you’ll see that once they’re in, it’s hard to get them out!
Intelligence toys
These are toys with a clear goal: to stimulate cats’ minds. They help with intellectual development (especially when they are young) and keep their mental agility sharp (when they’re older), and they have a lot of fun using them! There are many types, materials, sizes, some with rewards, some without, some with spaces for treats, etc. The best thing is to consult the expert at the store and pick the one that suits your kitty best.
A cardboard house
You read that right: a cardboard house. Cats are huge fans of cardboard boxes, so sometimes they get even more excited about the boxes that toys come in than the toys themselves. You can make one yourself by cutting a door, painting it a special color, adding a bed or a toy inside, or a couple of windows… or you can buy one! They also sell highly elaborate ones, shaped like an Indian tent, a small palace, a camper van, two-story houses, with windows to peek through, decorations, stairs… you choose!
Hammock for chairs and armchairs
If your cat spends a lot of time under the couch or bed, you have to try these hammocks! They’re called CatCrib and are super easy to install. They attach to the legs of a chair or armchair, are slightly tensioned, fastened with washers, and your cat gets a comfortable hammock to rest in without any problem.
