Gallery: 13 Cat-Approved Gifts for Fabulous Felines (And Their Humans)
Pei Pod01PeiPod-Pei-Kitty
__PeiPod Pei Kitty__ I like the egg shape of the [Pei Kitty](http://www.peipod.com/peikitty), a modernist padded sleeping pod. The exterior is made of high density polyethylene and comes in two colors: pastel pink and mint. You can set it next to your Eames Lounge Chair, it'll look good there. And I will look good inside of it. $130
Feline Yogi02Feline-yogimat
__The Yoga Mat Cat Toy__ This comfy, easy to clean, cat-sized [yoga mat](https://www.etsy.com/shop/FelineYogi) is perfect for lounging and stretching. I can also play with the catnip-infused twine ball and string that are attached to the top. I'd far prefer this to slipping and sliding on a cold hardwood floor. $25
Catit03Catit-Design-Senses-Speed-Circuit
__Catit Design Senses Speed Circuit__ This adjustable toy sends a [tantalizing light-up ball](http://amzn.com/B004G8EJOK) surging through the hills and valleys of its mostly-covered track. I will get that ball, if it takes hours, days even, of whacking to do so. It connects with Catit's other circuits too, for invigorating play with longer loops. $13
Stark Raving Cat04five-cat-joints-red-tray-1933
__Catnip Joints__ This pack of five pre-rolled [catnip joints](http://www.starkravingcat.com/shop/all/catnip-joints/) are approved for recreational use in all 50 states, which is great, because what cat doesn't like herb? Just fill up my stocking with these. $10
Quirk Books05crafting-with-cat-hair-book
__Crafting With Cat Hair Book__ I grew that fur. Don't just throw it away. [Here is a book](http://amzn.com/1594745250) that will teach you to make crafts out of cat hair, like mittens or finger puppets (aided by other craft supplies like cardboard and felt). Photos inside also offer handsome and adorable portraits of my feline brethren. $10
FroliCat, Inc.06Frolicat-Bolt
__FroliCat Bolt Interactive Laser Pet Toy__ Even torties (the laziest of cats, BTW) can't resist the allure of the [FroliCat Bolt's](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0021L8W6K/?tag=toptenpettoys-20) darting, arcing laser movements. It uses a laser reflected against a mirror to project an elusive red dot onto the walls and floor. $18
Scotch-Brite/3M07Lint-rollers
__Lint Rollers, Jumbo Pack of 6__ Simple, cheap, and thoughtful: A jumbo pack of [lint rollers](http://amzn.com/B00G5M1VR8) will remove my fur from any human apparel, particularly the black clothing, which is the best for sleeping on. A six-pack of 90-sheet rollers costs around $29 through Amazon.
Neko Flies08Neko-flies-sleepingbag
__Neko Flies Sleeping Bag__ When it gets cold out, the plush polyester interior of the [Neko Flies Sleeping Bag](http://www.nekoflies.com/index.php/neko-nappers/sleeping-bag.html) makes for a cozy place to burrow into. The 8-inch-tall "mouth" stays open so I never feel trapped. Also, it makes that crinkly paper sound I like. $35
PetFusion09Petfusion-deluxe-scartcher-lounge
__Petfusion Deluxe Cat Scratcher Lounge__ This lounging spot is also an [eco-friendly scratching pad](http://amzn.com/B004X6UEH6), so I can scratch where I lay and lay where I scratch. The $50 price tag seems steep at first, but check it out: when the top gets worn, you can flip it upside down, and when that gets worn, you can saw it in half so I can scratch what used to be the inside of the lounger.
Off the Wall Pet10posh system
__Posh System__ Floors are for you human peons. The [Posh System](http://www.offthewallpet.com/#!offthewallpet-shop/ca55) is a six-piece modular wall mounted system that lets me roam high above the ground. You can pick and choose which pieces fit your needs and budget (Hint: all of them).
SureFlap11Sureflap-PetDoor
__SureFlap__ This take on the doggie door only lets pets in based on their microchip ID. It ensures you won't find a sneaky raccoon snacking on my bowl of cat kibble. The [SureFlap](http://www.sureflap.com/products/details/18-microchip-pet-door) also has a curfew mode for thwarting my attempts at nighttime escapades with the neighborhood alley cat gang, (but I trust you'll figure out how to disable that). $200
The9Life12the9life-Afternoon-Table
__The9Life Afternoon Table__ Finally, furniture designed for me. The9Life's [Afternoon Table](http://the9life.com/2013/11/03/afternoon-table/) has a door cutout that makes a perfect cat hideout. Or a place to stash my growing collection of dead things—I mean toys. $387
Vans13vans-aspca-shoes
__Vans ASPCA Shoes__ With these cat-printed Vans sneakers, humans can show off their cat pride. They are available in lace-up or slip-on styles, in both [men's](http://www.vans.com/shop/aspca-authentic-cats) and [women's](http://www.vans.com/shop/womens-collaborations-aspca) sizes. Purchases of these shoes don't directly benefit the ASPCA: Vans already made a donation to the ASPCA as part of this project. $55
