Meow, meow, meow! Translated into English, that means "Happy Holidays." Everyone has that one cat-lover in their circle of friends. Here's a selection of items for that feline fancier that would make perfect holiday gifts. The cats might even like them too.

Suck UK
01
Suck UK DJ Deck
DJ Furball is in the house! Instead of scratching all of your records, your cat can scratch this [turntable](https://www.amazon.com/SUCK-UK-Cat-Scratching-Deck/dp/B006YR6EK8?th=1) ($35). The record is made of claw-friendly cardboard. Make it more fun by putting small headphones or a Santa hat on your cat.

02
Cat Cave
We all need our own personal chill spaces—cats especially. Get your feline one these [cat cave hideouts](https://www.etsy.com/listing/386983320/cat-cave-large-sky-blue-and-white-ships) ($30). They'll love the feel of the hand-felted wool. Fits cats up to 16 pounds.

4Claws
03
4CLAWS Wall Mounted Scratching Post
Cats will scratch on everything you care about. This [wall mounted cat scratcher](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015Y4HVTO/ref=strm_fn_nad_62_3) ($29) can be propped up on any wall to grab a cat’s attention and save the back of the sofa.
The Natural Pet Company
04
The Natural Pet Company Cat Toys Collection
Cats are easily distracted, which means they love eye-catching toys. This [box set](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UHRQAGY/ref=strm_fn_nad_74_3) ($30) is filled with toys made from natural material like wood and feathers. Play fetch!

Sleepypod
05
Sleepypod
The carrier is rarely a "happy place" for cats. [Sleepypod](http://sleepypod.com/) ($190) tries to change that with this design. If the cat learns to use it as a bed, they'll be less freaked out when the soft dome top zips on. There's a zip-up portal in the top of the dome so they can poke their head out, and the Velcro handle closure makes it easy to weave in a seat belt during car trips.
Gund
06
Gund Grumpy Cat Slippers
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed? Slip these [grumpy cats](https://www.gund.com/product/grumpy+adult+size+slippers+-+4046546.do?sortby=newArrivals&refType=&from=fn) ($50) on your feet because, from the looks of them, they have the Monday blues as well.

Hugs Pet Products
07
Whack A Mouse
This [toy](https://www.amazon.com/Hugs-Pet-Products-Whack-Mouse/dp/B00C65W0S2/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1481054720&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=whatck+a+mouse) ($14) is a feline take on Whack-A-Mole—but instead of a mole, it is a mouse. A human works the stick and does their best to push the cat’s buttons.
Durascoop
08
Litter Scoops
Scoops get nasty pretty quick. One of these [cheap and solid litter scoopers](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DCAAP4/ref=strm_fn_nad_138_3) ($13) will be welcome in the cat-owner's home.

Splendid Beast
09
Splendid Beast Portrait
Every cat lover needs a painting from this website. [Splendid Beast](http://www.splendidbeast.com/) (Starting at $99) will take your photo of any pet and turn it into a masterpiece. They'll want to hang the Meow-na Lisa on the best wall in the house.
ViviPet
10
ViviPet Cat Dining Table
This sleek [cat feeder](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01225ST4O/ref=strm_fn_nad_3_2?th=1) ($60) is slightly tilted (15 degrees) to allow for easier access. There are separate bowls for food and water. The nook on the side allows for additional treats or a little wheatgrass.

Katris
11
Katris Modular Cat Tree
Phones are not the only things getting smart, modular designs. Arrange this [set of five cardboard blocks](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0196FE280/ref=strm_fn_nad_29_3) ($299) to build a tall or squat cat tree. They're also sturdy enough to use as shelving for books, magazines, plants, and cat toys.
Uncommon Goods
12
Cats of the Times
"Cat mob robs bank—read all about it!" This coffee table book, *[The Cats of the Times](http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/cats-of-the-times)* ($30) gathers up all of the cat-related stories and headlines from The New York Times' daily coverage between 1872 and 1965. There are lost of photos too.
