Festive Felines: Our Ultimate Christmas Cat Gift Guide
Published date: 04 November 2024
Looking to spoil your furry friend this Christmas? We believe the best presents support your cat’s health and well-being.
To help you keep your cat happy and healthy this season, we have compiled the ultimate cat Christmas gift guide.
The Gift of Playtime
Every cat needs to play! Play is beneficial for our feline friends’ mental and physical health, plus can help reduce wildlife hunting. So, why not give your cat the gift of a happier more fulfilling playtime? The bigger the variety of toys, the better! Offer your cat a selection of toys with different textures and shapes.
Remembering the true purpose of playtime will help make your play sessions even more exciting. For cats, playtime is about mimicking the hunt! Proper play encourages cats to use their natural stealth abilities to stalk, chase and catch ‘prey’.

The Gift of a Truly Comfortable Sleep
Did you know our cats spend around two-thirds of their life asleep? Our feline friends spend an impressive amount of time snoozing, so the gift of a truly comfortable bed would surely be appreciated.
A supportive bed is something that will be adored by every cat, especially as they get older, and their joints get creakier.
Psst: Cats have a natural tendency to rotate their sleeping space. So don’t be disheartened if your kitty doesn’t always sleep on their new bed, they will always come back eventually.
The Gift of Wholesome Treats
Of course, our feline friends deserve a little extra treat this season. Cats shouldn’t be offered our delicious festive food, however, that doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy a special dinner of their own.
The McAdams Free Range Turkey tray is packed with ethical and high-quality meat. The perfect cat-friendly Christmas dinner!
Or perhaps a warming winter soup would appeal more to your moggy? Canagan Chicken Cat Soup can be warmed up in a bowl in the microwave for a few seconds or on the stovetop. A delicious meat-infused soup that will keep your cat hydrated and their tummy warm.
The Gift of Proper Hydration
A gift for your cat and one for your peace of mind. Cats are notorious for not drinking enough, their low thirst drive comes from their desert-dwelling ancestors. Frequent dehydration can lead to constipation, hairball issues and even contribute to kidney disease.
So why not take Christmas as an opportunity to improve your cat’s drinking habits? Fresh running water is more appealing and more noticeable to cats so helps encourage proper hydration.
Invest in a Cat Water Fountain to keep your kitty healthy and happy this festive season. Watch our video for more Cat Drinking Tips.
The Gift of Claw Health
This gift will save your furniture and keep your cat happy!
Scratching is a natural and normal behaviour for cats. Clawing at rough surfaces provides cats with physical and mental exercise and keeps their nails healthy.
The best scratcher will be heavy, strong and tall. This allows your feline friend to lean their full weight onto the pole and get those claws in.
However, the more scratchers the merrier! Having a variety of sizes and shapes allows your cat to scratch in any preferred position and stretch out all their muscles.

Remember your pretty kitty doesn’t really know it’s Christmas… so if the only thing you can give them this year is some extra cuddles and attention, they will be more than happy. I hope you and your feline friends have a wonderful Christmas.
