The Best Gift of All
If there is a cat lover on your gift list your work in choosing a gift is half done, but only half. It may be a challenge to find a unique gift that the recipient does not already own. When deciding on a gift for a cat-loving friend or loved one you may have to look past the feline and focus on the human's personality and preferences.
Stay-at-home Gifts
Put together a cat-themed movie night for your cat-loving friend. Nestle a bag of gourmet popcorn into a basket trimmed with cat-themed ribbon along with one or several cat-themed movies such as "Garfield," "Milo and Otis" or "Cats and Dogs."
If your friend prefers snuggling up with a good book, consider giving them one or more cat-themed mystery novels, such as one from "The Cat Who . . ." series by Lilian Jackson Braun.
Wrap up a collection of cat-themed scrapbook supplies or a blank canvas tote bag and photo transferring supplies if your cat-loving friend is crafty. Of course, include a variety of pictures of their cat to make the gift truly unique and special.
On-the-Town Gifts
Buy your cat lover tickets to a cat show if there is one happening in your area. Search the Internet or ask local pet groomers for information about upcoming events.
If your friend regularly takes her cat to a groomer, buy a gift certificate for one free treatment. If your budget allows, make it extra special by arranging for your friend to have a manicure or pedicure while her cat is being pampered.
One-of-a-Kind Gifts
Hire a local artist to paint or draw a portrait of your friend and his cat. This may not be as expensive as it first seems. Student artists may be willing to do a project like this for a nominal fee.
Create a coffee table book starring your friend and his cat by going to an online service like shutterfly.com where you can upload photos into a book format. See the resources section of this article for further information.
Have your friend's cat immortalized by having his photo imprinted on a coffee mug or T-shirt. There are many Internet sources that will print your photo onto items like these.
