Holiday Gifts for Kitties

Have you decided what to get your cat for the holidays? Kitties are wonderful pets and companions! Fluffy will certainly enjoy a special present or two. Read on as an Oconomowoc, WI vet lists some great, purr-activating gifts for your feline pal.

It’s no surprise what Fluffy’s favorite pastime is: napping! Offer your sleepy little furball a few new beds to snuggle up in.

If your furry overlord doesn’t have a cat tower, this is a great time to get her one! Fluffy may also enjoy a pet tent or tipi, wall-mounted cat furniture, or a kitty condo.

Kitties have a reputation for being finicky, but most of our feline buddies enjoy a special snack now and then. Some good options are canned tuna, chicken, or salmon in water; cat milk; and plain, cooked meat, fish, or chicken, without the bones, skin, or fat.

Did you know that there are now DVDs made just for cats? This can make a super cute gift for Fluffy!

We know, a trip to see us probably wouldn’t make Fluffy’s holiday wish list. (We don’t take it personally: we know that kitties are often frightened and uneasy in new environments.) One of the best things you can do for your cat is to make sure she sees the vet regularly. Give your pet the gift of good health, and set up her next appointment.

Toys aren’t just fun for Fluffy: they’re actually very beneficial for her! Offer your furry buddy a variety of fun toys. Catnip mice and wand toys are fine, but you can also get your kitty moving with robotic mice, catnip bubbles, or other fun playthings.

Even if Fluffy wouldn’t have the slightest idea of what to do with a real live bird, she will most likely love birdwatching. Make your feline voyeur a comfy window seat, where she can just relax and watch local birds and squirrels.

Cats have a reputation for being somewhat aloof, but that isn’t entirely fair. Some of our feline friends absolutely love being cuddled and petted! Spend some time with Fluffy: pet her, play with her, brush her, and let her snooze on your lap. A pet’s love is a truly precious gift!
