You love your cat, and lucky for you both, it’s the time of year you can express that love and devotion in myriad ways – we’re talking tons of presents. Even if your cat would be content to receive a stocking full of catnip, it’s much more fun to indulge your furry family member with something truly spectacular.
To help, we found 10 presents that exemplify extravagant spending. Some are highly functional while others are purely entertaining. Yet all are for the pet parent with a sense of humor or just a little (okay, sometimes a lot of) extra spending money.
1. Cat Scratcher and Console Table from Modernist Cat
Cat scratchers needn’t look strictly utilitarian. This sleek and functional design has a midcentury modern aesthetic and just enough surface space to hold your favorite kitty-cat tchotchkes. Made with walnut hardwood and europly, the wall-mounted piece installs easily for instant catification. Choose from five different scratch pad colors.
