If you’ve got a friend, relative, or even yourself that’s happy or even flattered to be called a crazy cat person, you know they’ll be delighted by getting a gift that’s anything cat. There are thousands of gifts for cat lovers to chose from, but we wanted to think a little bit out of the box.

So below, we’ve made a list of gifts for cat lovers that are both useful and delightful alternatives for those hard to buy cat people in your life!

Let’s face it, cats are funny. That’s why they rule the Internet and have printed their paws all over the human heart.

Just to be a little clearer, cat lovers can be defined as those that:

  • Own a cat stroller;
  • Read cat blogs;
  • Have one cat but over 50 cat toys;
  • Are not shocked by a $300 veterinarian bill;
  • Have a separate Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram account for their cat (one or all);
  • And those who refer to their cat as the boss, as we all know cats rule the roost (house).

With all these items in their arsenal, it can be difficult to shop for our cat-loving friends and relatives. As we look into potential gifts for these ‘crazy cat folks’, we wanted to take a look at some really cool gifts that might just make your cat friend jump in glee.
