How to choose gifts for cat lovers
A gift for the owner, the cat, or both?
Cat lovers enjoy gifts that celebrate their cat. Toys, treats and beds are for the cat, while prints, mugs and socks are for the owner. If you do not know the cat well, a gift for the owner is the safer choice.
Remember that cats can be fussy
Cats can be picky about food, toys and beds. Check the size and material of a bed, choose a sturdy scratching post, and keep treats to small amounts. If you are unsure what the cat likes, ask the owner first.
Make it personal
A custom portrait or print of the owner's own cat makes a lasting keepsake. Personalised gifts can take longer to arrive, so allow extra time. Check the current price and delivery date on Amazon before ordering.
