Is it November already? Just a week ago we celebrated Halloween, National Black Cat Awareness Month, and National Cat Day. But now it’s time to gear up for Thanksgiving, and the gift-giving holidays! While Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa are still about seven weeks away, now is the perfect time to start shopping. Last year, 55 percent of all holiday purchases took place online. And though two-day shipping is more common these days, the increase in holiday purchases can cause shipping delays and mix-ups, so it’s best to buy earlier! The earlier you buy, the more buffer time you have to sort out any shipping errors or wait out any delays. And wouldn’t it be nice to spend the holidays actually enjoying the celebrations instead of agonizing about that one package that still hasn’t shipped?
Therefore, at Front Page Meews, we’re here to cover all the best cat gifts for this holiday season. Whether the receiver of your gifts actually owns kitties themselves or loves them from a distance, here are a few suggestions for cat lovers of all kinds:
The CatGenie A.I.
The CatGenie A.I. takes cat care to a whole new level.
You might be familiar with the original CatGenie – the world’s only self-washing, self-flushing litter box. The CatGenie acts like a cat box, cleans like an appliance, and flushes like a toilet. Best of all? It’s litter free! The CatGenie uses litter-like permanent Washable Granules. Unlike disposable cat litter, CatGenie Washable Granules never need changing and are 100% dust free, biodegradable and septic safe.

So what’s new?
What new changes has the CatGenie A.I. brought? The CatGenie A.I. adds machine learning artificial intelligence (A.I.) technology to the CatGenie. The CatGenie A.I. monitors your cat’s bathroom behavior, keeps an eye on how your CatGenie is running, and lets you know when supplies are running low.
I currently live in a three-cat household. Even when I had litter boxes, I didn’t really…inspect my cat’s poop. I kind of just quickly scooped, holding my nose and trying not to think about what I was doing. Also, I kept the boxes in the basement, and all three cats used all of them, so I wasn’t really aware of who was going when and if any cat wasn’t going at all. I know, not good. Any vet will tell you it’s important to keep track of your cat’s bathroom habits.*
Wellness Checks
With the new CatGenie A.I. app, you can check on your cat’s health with just the push of a button!The CatGenie A.I. tracks cat wellness, keeping track of how often your cat(s) use the CatGenie and sending you notifications if there are any changes in their bathroom habits. You don’t even have to think about it – the CatGenie A.I. will send you alerts if there are any changes in your cat’s bathroom usage.
This is all just the tip of the iceberg! I could write a whole article on all the new features the CatGenie A.I. brings to the table! You can read all about them here.
Catnip Toys
“Catnip toys? I thought this article is about unique and exciting gifts for cat lovers! Everyone and their mother has catnip toys.”
Yes, yes, everyone has catnip toys. Usually the little mice-shaped stuffed toys filled with bits of catnip. But you can gift catnip toys that also relate to the interests of the cat’s owner!
For example:
Food Toys by munchiecat
Cat toy brand “munchiecat” makes two food-shaped catnip toys, so your food-loving friend can enjoy seeing their cats play with a sushi set or a wine and cheese set.
munchiecat Sushi Toys
munchiecat Wine and Cheese Toys
In addition to making toys that look cute, munchiecat notes that they “strive to create safe cat toys” by using “nontoxic, pet-safe materials”. They avoid making toys with strings and loose parts like bells and feathers that can cause choking hazards. And if your gift receiver has picky kitties? The company offers a 100% money back guarantee!
Petlinks Catnip “Tea Bags”
This is another gift I have personal experience with. I love drinking tea. I love cuddling my cat. And I love getting him hyped up on catnip. So when my friend gifted me Petlinks catnip tea bags, I felt so understood. Like, on a deep soul level.
Petlinks Tea Zing 100% Catnip Filled Cat Toy
Each pouch of Petlinks’ toys features an amusing print of a cat with a teacup that says “Time for catnip kit-tea!” These irresistible Tea Zing toys are packed with premium organic catnip and no synthetic stuffing. And what’s nice about them? They’re super sturdy. The cloth bags are decently thick and hold up to a lot of cat play. And who doesn’t love a cute pun like kit-tea?
Cat Mugs
Speaking of tea…
Not everyone wants gifts for their cats. Some cat-lovers are allergic, some aren’t able to own pets right now, some just don’t have their kitty just yet! And some cats, no matter how many perfect and cute toys you buy them, are always going to prefer to play with the box the toy came in.
But you know what everyone uses? Mugs! Whether you’re a coffee drinker, a tea drinker, or just like drinking your favorite beverage out of a cute mug, a cat mug makes the perfect gift. And there are some pretty unique, cool ones out there. For example:
Tri-Coastal Black and White Kitty Tail Shaped Handle Mug
This lovely cup features a black and white kitty hand-painted on the side that flows into a black tail-shaped handle.
Tri-Coastal Design Cute Cat Mug
The Tri-Coastal Design Cat Mug is microwave and dishwasher safe, and holds up to 11 ounces of liquid, so it’s perfect for the cat-lover in your life who also likes large cups to hold lots of caffeine.
Koolkatkoo Surprise Cat Mug
Not only does this mug look like a cute kitty from the outside, but as you drink your beverage, a small cat peeks up at you from inside!
Koolkatkoo Cute Ceramic Cat Coffee
This is another dishwasher and microwave safe cup, and it comes in three different colors: black with a black cat inside, white with a white cat inside, and black with a white cat inside.
Cat Paw Mug
These adorable mugs look exactly like a cat’s paw, complete with their cute padding underneath!

The Cat Paw mug has three kitty breeds to choose from, a stylish calico cat, a cool black cat, or a cute orange tabby cat. And these toebeans are dishwasher and microwave safe!
Start Looking Now
The holidays are crazy. There’s tons to do, and especially as the days get shorter and the nights get longer, it can quickly feel like you’re running out of time. Get your shopping done as early as possible so you can sit back, relax, and let the kitty cat gifts ship in. Better to be cuddling your cat in front of the fireplace than out rushing around shopping two days before a major holiday!
