What can you give a cat?
We all love our pets, and over time, each of them can become a full member of the family. And sometimes you really want to please the beast with a small surprise, be it a delicious dinner or a beautiful toy. Our today's article will talk about what gift you can give your cat to please him.
What will the pet be happy about?
Gifts for cats can be purchased in specialized stores or made by hand - the choice is yours. We will consider the most popular options.
- Toys... A toy made of fabric or paper would be a good gift. For example, it can be a beautifully designed bow or a mouse on a string. It is a great idea to choose a toy with a noise effect (made of rustling material or decorated with small ringing bells). Such an accessory will attract the attention of the beast, and it will be much more interesting for him to play.
There are also toys such as a laser pointer or wind-up mouse that are sure to delight any pet.
- Comfortable warm house. Especially such a gift will be relevant in winter. You can choose a small house for a sleepy cat, but, most importantly, soft. It can be made of foam rubber, upholstered with fabric, in which it will be comfortable to sleep while waiting for the owner. But the large wooden "palace" covered with jute is suitable for cats who prefer to explore the territory. Multi-level houses can become not only an additional home, but also a place for games, since these structures are usually equipped with various entertainment accessories: from scratching posts to hanging toys.
Be sure to ensure that the structure is stable so that the cat does not drop his new home like a Christmas tree.
- Drinker and food cup. These items can be gifted as a set with a special stand in addition for easy cleaning after a hearty meal. Despite its simplicity, this gift symbolizes caring for a pet. The cat will always be fed and watered, and let his bowl never be empty.
- Special collar with a personalized medallion. The cat may not appreciate this surprise, but just think! Such an accessory will help your pet find it if it gets lost by accident. Your contact telephone number should be engraved on the back of the medallion.
The collar itself should be soft and loose, and the medallion should be light so that it does not interfere with your pet.
- Cat litter box. Do not be surprised - the gift is very successful! A brand new tray with high sides will always come in handy, and if it is also interestingly designed, then the cat will be doubly happy. For example, for those who like to retire, there are special cat toilets in the form of a house with a separate entrance, where you can safely do all your business.
- Carrying. If you often travel or go on a visit, and your beloved pet is your constant companion, a comfortable carrying will be a wonderful gift for the tailed conquerors of new territories. For shy cats and those who like to stay on handles, a special sling was invented, which will help to always be next to the owner.
- Scratching post. Wooden, cardboard, fabric - the choice is simply huge. Often, scratching posts are equipped with sachets of a mixture of herbs, which include valerian, which attracts cats. Thanks to this, she will definitely not go unnoticed by your favorite.
The undoubted advantage of such a gift is that it will be useful not only for the pet, but also for the owner, who can keep the wallpaper and furniture intact.
- Game case... What cat doesn't like to hide in a duvet cover or a bag? For such entertainment, a special soft cover made of fabric or plush has been invented, in which the pet will be comfortable. The advantage of this gift is also that it will be easy to sew yourself.
- Cat Tunnel. Any cat will love a tunnel with several entrances and exits, in which you can play enough, hide yourself or hide your favorite toy from other inhabitants of the house.
- Quality feed. Check with your veterinarian when choosing this responsible gift. The specialist will be able to correctly select the optimal diet for your pet, depending on its needs, characteristics and preferences.
- Album with photos... Such an album can be replenished with the best joint photos with your beloved cat.
As the saying goes, you don't need a reason for a gift, but special dates do happen in your cat's life.
New Year
Such a holiday will not leave anyone indifferent. As a New Year's gift for a cat, a festively decorated toy or even a New Year's suit with a fur trim is suitable.
Why not give him a Christmas tree toy that he can drop or break with complete impunity? You can hang such a present on the lowest branch of the Christmas tree, where your pet can easily reach - let it play from the heart. But it is definitely not worth giving a toy made of glass: the cat can get hurt on sharp fragments. Better to choose an item made of foam, fabric or papier-mâché.
Also a wonderful New Year's gift will be a special hammock, which is attached to the battery, in which the pet can bask and while away the long winter evenings.
Birthday
It's always a special holiday - choose exactly what your cat loves the most. If he or she loves to sleep, give a comfortable pillow, you can even order a print with a portrait of the pet or embroider his name. There are also special hammocks for cats in which the home bummer can lie back and relax.
If the animal loves to run, choose a toy, but only the best and most beautiful.
What should not be gifted?
Among the gifts, there are not very suitable options and even dangerous ones!
- Fragile things (figurines or glassware). A playful beast is unlikely to appreciate your noble impulse. The cat, most likely, will remain completely indifferent to the surprise, but the integrity of the souvenir may be at risk.
- Inexpensive feed, containing a large amount of harmful substances. It is not worth giving such a present to a cat for obvious reasons.
- Small toys. The cat can easily choke on them.
- Items with sharp and prickly surfaces, which are easy to scratch.
In general, you should avoid dangerous gifts and take care of your pet, because in a fit of games or out of naivety, the beast can easily harm itself.
