We hope you’ll enjoy our suggestions and do let us know which one is your favourite in the comments.

Gifts for Cats:

1. The Fowndry

You like important landmarks around the world? You want to give your cat a chance to experience them as well? These super cute cat houses are just the thing for this!

2. Sainsbury’s

This adorable christmas themed fish toy is available from your local Sainsbury’s supermarket in the UK! As you can see Rennie enjoyed his little present a lot. 🙂

3. Cheshire & Wain London

Those of you that have been following us for a while probably already know that we are huge fans of Cheshire & Wain London! So of course their latest range, the  Cheshire & Wain X Choupette’s Diary Collar had to be featured in our Christmas Gift guide! Two of ours have featured some of their collars before as you can see on Oliver and Nubia.

4.  Find Me A Gift

Is your cat going to be the next famous DJ?!? Find out with this fantastic DJ cat scratch deck from Find Me A Gift!

This bowl is another fun idea from Find Me A Gift. And we certainly know the feeling of this… whenever the bowl is empty Rennie will MEOW for more. 😉

5. annabeljames

annabeljames the place for luxurious but affordable gifts doesn’t just do gifts for humans! We found these lovely gifts for cats on their site. Such as this super cute storage tin.

7. Canagan

Looking for a christmas dinner for your kitties? Canagan is another great range of food that is grain free and caters for our carnivore friends.

8. PetSafe

Looking for something useful for your cat that will also make your life easier?!? PetSafe has just the thing for you with their automatic litter box! The ScoopFree uses crystal litter replacement trays so all you need to do is take one out, seal it up and put the next one in!

Of course PetSafe also has a variety of cool cat toys of which we’ve reviewed some already and have more coming up over the next few months. 🙂

9. Feline Cuisine

Of course no gift guide for cats is complete without at least one food recommendation and this time we have a bunch for you! This new Feline Cuisine range is exclusively available at Tesco and we can’t wait to try it out with our own three connoisseurs.

10. Katzenworld Shop

Of course we had to include our own Blog Shop christmas range, not just because it’s our own shop but because the toys from 4cats are simply that good!

Additionally if you are looking for food we have also got amazing high quality food from our partner Almo Nature available in our shop. Don’t believe us? Check out what the cats thought!

11. Home Bargain

Of course we totally understand that some of you might be looking for something a little cheaper and that’s no problem as we’ve got some ideas from Home Bargain for you to cover that!

Cat ornament bauble – 99p
Christmas stocking – £1.99

Gifts for Humans:

1. buyagift

buyagift is a wonderful place to find gift vouchers and more for your friends and families! And of course they’ve got things that us cat lovers will enjoy too. Such as this feed the Tigers experience.

We recently received a voucher from a friend for an afternoon tea experience and meet the Tigers through their site and will be making use of this once it’s warmer again. But we certainly can’t wait for this and will report back to you on our own experience. In the meantime this has made it into the top of our gift ideas for humans thanks to the surprise present. 🙂

5. Ginger Fox

This super cute and fun card game by Ginger Fox designed for the whole family can be purchased online and at John Lewis or Waterstones! We got one of these to try out and certainly LOVED it! 🙂 For those not in the UK Amazon is probably going to be the best location to get a copy of this.

6. Homesitters UK

While kind of more of a necessity we all want to know that our kitties are safe while we are away! If you’re planning to go away at Christmas but won’t be able to take your cat with you, give them the gift of someone to love them while you’re away via our friends over at Homesitters (UK).

8. Parkinson’s UK

Looking for a gift that keeps you entertained at what could be a boring daytime job without your cat’s’ presence? This super cute 365 days calendar from the charity Parkinson’s UK is purrfect alternative to attempting to sneak your cat into the office.

9. iRobot

We all know how much we love our cats but at the same time don’t we hate the dust they leave behind from their litterbox? iRobot is a perfect solution here as it can keep your house clean without any effort of your own. 😉

We actually got a chance to try out one of these and were very impressed – the detailed review on this will follow soon!

10. Ulster Weave

These lovely kitchen and dining items from Ulster Weavers come in two different designs. The Cats in Waiting and the Catwalk range. There are items from as little as £2 so there should be something for every budget!

2. Claws, Confessions of a Cat Groomer

Claws, Confessions of a Cat Groomer by Anita Kelsey is one of our must reads this year! While a dedicated feature is coming soon we simply can’t wait until that point to recommend the book to you. 🙂
