The best Christmas Cat Gifts for 2025

All too often, cats get a reputation of being unbothered, cold and far too independent to care about your wants and needs. But what cat owners will know, is that their precious feline friends can actually be very sociable, needy and up for some fun and games. All it takes is finding the right thing for your cat that keeps them loved-up and engaged. Here we've compiled a list of the puuuurfect kinds of gifts you can use this Christmas to involve your cat in the festivities!

Complete with a Christmas tree and a "Welcome Santa Paws" sign, this gingerbread house features windows and springy material to make for an exciting hide-and-seek play area. It also provides a safe and protective space for your cats to rest between bouts of festive play, and to take a moment away from the busy Christmas household.

3. KONG Holiday Mouse - this merry mouse is small but mighty. We all know cats have a soft spot for scrunched up wrapping paper, batting about the discarded balls of paper and skidding around the room. This crinkle toy will tide them over until Christmas, with festive peppermint crackles and catnip scents, there's plenty of sensory festive fun to unlock! Ideal for batting and capture-and-drag play, this little mouse will spark your cat's hunting instincts and keep them occupied amongst the festivities. 

4.  Clay Paw Print Impression Kit - this crafty kit is a lovely way to include your cat or dog in your Christmas decorations. Designed as a keepsake, each kit comes with enough clay for 1-2 average sized paw imprints and ribbon for hanging. Great as an ornament to hang on the tree, these clay kits create a special way to remember your cat throughout the years and involve them in the spirit of Christmas. 

There are plenty of ways to include your cat during Christmastime; toys and treats are just one side of the story - we're sure you and your cat have your own special traditions already! Seeing your pet enjoy the Christmas cheer simply adds to the fun - but it's important to remember that it can be quite an overwhelming time too.
