Da Bird Feather Wand
A rod, a string and a feather lure that spins in the air and sounds like wings. Known for waking up cats that claim to be bored of toys.
Under $25
Small things that punch above their price.
Exploding Kittens
A fast card game of drawing cards until someone hits an exploding kitten, unless they hold a laser pointer or a catnip sandwich to defuse it. Two to five players, fifteen minutes.
Indoor Hunting Feeder
Mouse-shaped feeders you fill with kibble and hide around the house. Dinner becomes a hunt in small portions instead of one bowl inhaled in a minute.
Cat Butt Magnets
A set of fridge magnets showing cats from the angle they prefer to present. Tasteless, cheap and exactly right for a certain kind of friend.
ChomChom Roller
A reusable roller that pulls hair off sofas and duvets into a small chamber. No sticky sheets, no batteries. A practical gift for anyone with a cat and a dark sofa.
LickiMat
A textured rubber mat you spread wet food or treat paste on. Licking it clean takes a while, which is the point: slower eating and a few minutes of occupied cat.
Yeowww! Catnip Banana
A cotton banana stuffed with nothing but catnip. Expect bunny kicks, drooling and a cat hugging fruit.
Senses Self Groomer
A bristled brush you fix to a wall corner at cheek height. The cat does the rest, every time it walks past.

A battery-powered wand that darts around under a fabric cover like something small and alive. For the ten minutes when you cannot hold the feather yourself.
Total Cat Mojo
Jackson Galaxy's guide to why cats do what they do and how to set up a home around it. The book to hand someone the week they adopt.
Activity Fun Board
Five small puzzles on one board: pegs, tunnels, bowls and slots to fish treats out of. A workout for the paw-and-brain department.
Cat Dancer
A springy wire with rolled cardboard on the end. That is the entire product. It has been on sale for decades because cats lose their minds over it.
Litter Genie Plus
A slim pail that seals scooped clumps inside a continuous bag, so you stop walking to the outside bin after every scoop. Unglamorous, and the upgrade most households notice first.
Tower of Tracks
Three stacked tracks with spinning balls that cannot be knocked out and lost under the fridge. Works for one cat or several at once.
Sticky Paws Furniture Strips
Clear double-sided strips for the corner of the sofa. The idea: cats dislike the tacky feel and take their claws elsewhere, ideally to the post next to it.
Kickeroo
A long stuffed kicker with a fluffy tail and catnip inside, sized for grabbing with the front paws and kicking with the back.
Self-Warming Cat Pad
A thin pad with a reflective layer inside that sends the cat's own body heat back up. No plug and no batteries.
Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush
A fine-wire brush with a button that retracts the bristles, so the collected hair falls off in one sheet.
Cat Amazing Puzzle Feeder
A cardboard box of holes, ledges and tunnels in three levels of difficulty. Drop treats in and the cat works out how to fish them out.
Zen Clipper
A nail clipper with a small round opening that only admits the tip of the claw, which makes it hard to cut too far.
Stain & Odor Eliminator
An enzyme cleaner for accidents on carpet and upholstery. The sort of bottle cat households keep under the sink.
World's Best Cat Litter
A clumping litter made from corn instead of clay. Lighter to carry and low on dust, and the maker says it can be flushed where local rules allow.
Raised Cat Food Bowl
A porcelain bowl on a pedestal with a curved lip inside. The height is meant to ease the neck; the lip stops food being pushed over the edge.
Soft Claws Nail Caps
Small vinyl caps glued over the claws so scratching does no damage. They grow out with the nail and are replaced every few weeks.
Whisker Relief Bowl
A wide, shallow stainless steel dish shaped so whiskers do not brush the sides. For cats that scoop food out with a paw and eat it off the floor.
Senses Play Circuit
Snap-together covered track with a ball inside. The gaps in the cover let a paw in but not the ball out, and the layout can be rebuilt.
Come With Me Kitty Harness
A light strap harness with a stretchy bungee lead that takes the jolt out of a sudden lunge.
Double-Layer Litter Mat
A two-layer honeycomb mat. Litter falls off paws through the holes and collects in the pocket underneath, where you pour it back into the box.
Automatic Laser Toy
An automatic laser that throws moving patterns across the floor, for the times you are not there to hold the pointer.
ZoomGroom for Cats
A soft rubber brush with fat fingers that pulls loose hair and doubles as a massage. It rinses clean under the tap.
Door Buddy
An adjustable strap that holds a door open just wide enough for a cat. The cat reaches the litter box; the dog and the toddler do not.
Cat Lady
A quick card-drafting game about collecting cats and keeping them fed. Half an hour, two to four players.
Skitter Critters Catnip Mice
A pack of small soft mice filled with catnip. They disappear under furniture at a steady rate, which is why they come in multiples.

Tubes of pureed treat that cats lick straight from the packet. Widely used as a bribe for nail trims, carriers and pills.
