Christmas: 10 gift ideas for your cat

Christmas is approaching, the occasion to offer a small gift to your cat. Even if you consider your fur ball as a member of your family, choosing a gift is still difficult. You want to buy him something that will make him happy, so that he too has something under the tree, but you don't know what? Get inspired by these 10 gift ideas, each one more original than the last!

1. A hammock

It is well known that cats love to be perched high up to take their little nap. Not only can they control everything that happens around them, but they are also untouchable. So, why not offer them a small comfortable hammock so that they can spend the long winter evenings comfortably? And if it's next to the radiator, even better!

2. A kibble dispenser ball

Cats have a particularly developed hunting instinct. However, this instinct is no longer stimulated, especially for cats in apartments, since our small felines no longer need to hunt for food. So, to make him work his brains and muscles, choose one of the many stimulating toys and food or treat dispensers (such as the Pipolino for example). 

The principle is simple: you insert the cat's kibble into the ball pierced with small holes and the cat will have to roll it so that the food falls on the ground.

Of course, a simple ball can also please him!

3. A cat tree

The cat tree is the must-have accessory for our feline friends. Not only does this object has a scratching post at its base, which allows the cats to scratch themselves, but it also has a very playful side. Indeed, depending on the chosen size, it can contain perches, tunnels, toys... In short, a whole bunch of gadgets to entertain your cat!

4. A cardboard house

As all cat owners know, felines love to hide in cardboard boxes, whether it's for a nap or a game of hide-and-seek. So why not give your cat a real cardboard house? Take a few cardboard boxes and assemble them at your convenience to create an original and comfortable niche.

For example, you can make a cardboard house in the shape of a fish. 

5. A laser

You have probably already noticed that your cat gets excited when he sees a moving light shape, like the reflection of your watch on the wall for example. To be able to play with him at any time, give him a portable laser! This will allow him to chase the little red light around your house for hours. However, be careful not to point the laser at his eyes, you could damage his retina.

And be aware that there are also automatic lasers (yes!).

6. Mint for cats

In case you didn't know it, catnip, or catnip, is a real drug for our little felines. Chewing this mint smelling plant gives them euphoric effects, comparable to cannabis for men. And reassure you, it is absolutely not toxic!

7. A cozy cushion

Cats love comfortable places to spend long hours sleeping. For Christmas, surprise them by giving them a competition pillow, so cozy that they'll want to spend the whole day on it. The little trick: install his new nest near a window, cats love to look outside...

8. A home-cooked meal

Even if we would like to prepare good food every night for our adorable fur ball, it is sometimes difficult to find the time. But, once a year, a good little homemade dish is conceivable.

9. An electronic toy

If you're afraid your cat will get bored when you're away, offer her a real live prey. There are electronic toys that move like a mouse. Guaranteed fun for hours!

10. A water fountain

Most cats are literally fascinated by flowing water. That's why they can spend hours watching the tap water run when you do the dishes. To whet your cat's curiosity and ensure fresh water at any time of the day or night, opt for a cat water fountain!
