Holiday Gifts for Kitties

Happy Holidays! One of the best parts of this special time of year is that great feeling you get when you find the perfect gift for friends or family. Don’t forget about your feline friend! Here, a Tipp City, OH vet offers some suggestions on things you can get Fluffy.

It’s always highly entertaining to watch a kitty enjoying the effects of catnip. Your furball may race around, meow, purr, roll over, or just get super playful. Catnip toys are fine, but if you want to try something different, you can offer your pet a small catnip plant. Catnip bubbles are also an option.

Keeping Fluffy hydrated is very important! Many cats enjoy drinking running water. Offer your pet a kitty fountain.

You can order DVDs just for your kitty to watch. Some kitties really like watching programs about birds and squirrels. (Then again, Fluffy may just sleep through her program. With cats, you really never know.

Sign Fluffy up for a subscription box of her own. Every month, your furball will get a package of goodies in the mail. This is a great option for people who sometimes forget to pick up kitty toys!

Cats have few qualms about borrowing their humans’ beds and sofas, but they really love having things that were made just for them. Get your kitty a cat tower, or perhaps a new bed. Or two. Or three. Fluffy may also appreciate some empty boxes.

Did you know that you can download apps for your furry pal to play with on your phone or tablet? Fluffy may really enjoy ‘catching’ digital mice!

Your feline buddy will definitely enjoy a special snack. Fluffy can have some plain, cooked meat, fish, or poultry. Be sure to remove the skin, fat, and bones first! Also, hold the gravy: it’s too rich for cats. Sodium-free broth is another good option. Your kitty can also have some cat milk, a can of plain tuna or chicken in water, or shredded deli meat.

Fluffy is always adorable when she is playing with a new toy. Catnip mice are a classic cat toy. Or, offer your furball something different, like a remote-controlled mouse or an automatic laser pointer.
