Christmas presents for cats show our furry friends how much we love them and make the holidays the best time of the year for them too. After all, it doesn't matter whether the recipient has two or four legs: gifts are always a sign of special appreciation and affection. We have therefore put together some original Christmas presents for cats in case you are still lacking the necessary inspiration for the festival of love.
Christmas gifts for cats: inspiration for the festival of love
Christmas presents for cats sometimes pose a mental challenge for pet owners. After all, our pets can't write a wish list. Nevertheless, we are convinced that all cats will be happy with Christmas presents based on our ideas. These include toys for cats, which will make active cats in particular shine under the Christmas tree. But even if your pet is more of a house cat, you can perhaps encourage it to get a little more exercise in its everyday life with a new cat brush from our BARF shop . In this respect, a scratching post or climbing tree are also a good idea.
On the other hand, cuddly candidates will also get their money's worth with a new pillow to cuddle with - for example one filled with catnip. Cats love the smell and can relax wonderfully with it. If you want a little more relaxation, baskets, beds, blankets or caves are also excellent Christmas presents for cats. After all, they love to sleep and can spend up to 16 hours a day sleeping. Because they like to be comfortably warm, special beds that can be hung in front of the heater and are generally suitable for all standard radiators are particularly popular during the cold season. A bonus point is that the cat can also sleep, doze, sit on its throne and overlook its little kingdom in an elevated position.
For cats: the perfect Christmas gift for snacking
For cats, the perfect Christmas present is also something to snack on – it really couldn’t be simpler! Just as we humans fill our bellies every year with the classic Christmas goose, red cabbage, dumplings and heaps of cookies, chocolates and chocolate Santas, our four-legged friends also like to be spoiled with a special treat. For cats, a conceivable Christmas present would therefore be raw poultry for cats . Quail, turkey meat, duck hearts or pheasant legs come pretty close to our holiday menu. Alternatively, cats will also be happy with a Christmas present in the form of BARF cat food made from fish, rabbit or game , which is a special feature on the menu. Cat treats are also a suitable Christmas present. Feeding mice or day-old chicks for cats offer a particularly natural eating experience for in-between meals, and indoor cats will also be happy to have them in their food bowl. This brings us to another gift idea: the bowl. How about, for example, an anti-gulping bowl that makes eating a playful challenge? In this context, drinking fountains are also worth mentioning, as cats prefer to drink running water.
Cat and Christmas – what else you need to consider
When it comes to cats and Christmas, there are a few factors to consider so that the holiday can be a contemplative one for our little housemates. Since the hustle and bustle can quickly become too much for you, just like us, we recommend creating a place for cats to retreat to at Christmas where they can always have some peace and quiet. Also watch out for potential sources of danger such as gift ribbon lying around, which playful kittens could strangle themselves with. The same applies to fairy lights, which should therefore be attached securely and out of the cat's reach. Ideally, you should avoid candles altogether. If the Christmas tree is stable in a stand with child safety locks and is decorated with natural wood, paper or straw decorations, nothing stands in the way of a happy Christmas with your cat! We at haustierkost.de wish you and your animals a blessed holiday!
