7 Purr-fectly Delightful Gifts for the Cat Lovers in Your Life

Finding the ideal gift for cat lovers can be tricky. While it’s no secret that anything cat-themed can win their hearts, it's all too easy to veer off course and end up with a gift for their whiskered companions, not them. And while they’ll always welcome any chance to spoil their cats even further, it’s time they got showered with love. 

Whether you’re shopping for a friend who’s simply fond of cats, or a colleague who flaunts their crazy-cat-lady status, we’re here to help. Use our guide to find the purr-fect gift for the cat lovers in your life—one that’s sure to make you their favorite human. Fair warning: plenty of cat puns ahead! 

7 Gifts for cat lovers that are pure purr-fection

Spoil the cat owners in your life as much as they spoil their furry companions! From outdoor decor to fashion finds, here are seven gifts to delight your cat-adoring loved ones.

1. A cat-shaped succulent planter

When it comes to choosing gifts for cat lovers, you can never go wrong with things that look like our feline companions.

For the friend who adores their plants as much as their pets, surprise them with the cutest cat-shaped ceramic planter. It’s designed for tall succulents like cacti, which sprout up to serve as this planter’s tail. With its gray finish, this cat lover gift goes well with various home aesthetics, while its red-and-white scarf adds an extra touch of whimsy. Just warn your friend it might make their real cat a little jealous!

But here's the best part: with a sturdy base and all four paws firmly planted, it can withstand even the most curious cats. No more worrying about furry friends "accidentally" toppling over precious plants!

2. This hilariously relatable t-shirt

The fur clinging to your friend’s clothing is the only explanation you need as to why they’re late. But just in case it isn’t clear enough, get them this hilariously relatable Sorry I’m Late, My Cat Was Sitting on Me t-shirt. It'll save them the trouble of recounting their feline-related delays every time they arrive fashionably late to your get-togethers.

To add a personalized (or should we say purr-sonalized?) flair to your gift for cat lovers, tailor the text to reflect their feline’s personality. Maybe something like “My evil cat was sitting on me” for that friend with a cat you’re convinced is plotting world domination.

3. A tapestry throw that screams “crazy cat lady”

Can we all pawse for a moment to admire this masterpiece of a tapestry throw? Featuring the iconic painting My Wife's Lovers—a piece that every pet owner dreams of seeing up close—it’s the ultimate gift for cat lovers who know that home is simply better with a little feline flair. 

Whether draped over a couch or hung on a wall, this cat lover gift is sure to steal the spotlight in any room. And just as Johnson commissioned this piece to commemorate her collection of cats, this throw offers a glimpse into your friend’s dream of creating a home filled with furry pals.

Plus, it’s not just decorative—it’s also a conversation starter! Get ready for fun dinner parties at your friend’s house, where they’ll challenge guests to guess the number of cats in the painting (spoiler alert: there are 42 of them!).

4. The cutest set of kitty coasters

Here’s a gift any cat lover would love to receive: cat-shaped coasters! This charming set of four will add a playful touch to any coffee table or desk, providing your friend with adorable spots to rest their favorite drinks.

Crafted from soft felt material, this cat lover gift is the purr-fect blend of cuteness and functionality. They’re designed to protect any surface against pesky stains, because let's face it—your friend’s furniture already goes through enough, with all the claw-related mischief. 

With these adorable additions, your friend can finally enjoy their drinks worry-free—until their cat decides to swipe at these coasters from under the table, anyway.

5. This tea towel every cat owner can relate to

Made for that friend who prefers the company of cats over people (except for you, of course—at least, we hope), this tea towel says exactly what they’ve been thinking all this time. Whether used for drying dishes or simply as a decorative piece, this gift for cat owners is guaranteed to make your friend smile whenever they walk into the kitchen. 

Crafted from a cotton-linen blend material, this gift for cat lovers features an embroidered image of either a tuxedo or a tabby cat. Its handmade feel makes it the perfect addition to farmhouse-inspired homes.

And if your friend doesn’t want to make it that obvious they have a “People I Wish Could Be Replaced By Cats” list, consider getting them the “Home Is Where Your Cat Is” version.

6. This oh-so-soft apron for carrying pets

Got a friend or family member who’s inseparable from their feline companion? Here’s a thoughtful gift for cat moms and dads with spoiled little felines: an apron carrier. Made of ultra-soft polyester, it’s perfect for cuddle sessions on the couch and taking cats wherever they want to go—come on, we all know who’s in charge here! 

Its fuzzy front pocket is tailor-made for burrowing and easily adjustable, allowing your friend to carry pets of all sizes, from tiny kittens to chonky cats. Plus, the shoulder straps allow for comfortable wear—a must, because we bet their cat won’t want to leave this plush haven anytime soon. 

Now be honest, who are you really spoiling with this gift—your cat lover friend or their feline? Either way, it’s sure to be a hit!

7. This coffee table book of cat quotes

There’s something so peaceful about curling up with a good read while a cat happily purrs on your lap. Give your loved ones the gift of a relaxed evening with this delightful read by Paul Magrs. Undoubtedly one of the best gifts for cat lovers, it features a collection of feline-related quotes from literary giants including L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables), Eugen Weber (The Western Tradition), and Colette (Gigi), to name a few.

Your friend will love flipping through its pages filled with quirky illustrations and quotes that resonate with every cat owner. From witty remarks about self-esteem to sayings that get you thinking (who knew quotes about kitties could be so deep?), this cat lover gift deserves to be the newest addition to your loved one’s ever-growing pile of feline-related reads.
