Gifts for Cat Lovers Under $50

Shopping for a cat lover is easy and hard at the same time. Easy because you know exactly what they love. Hard because they probably already own every cat mug, cat shirt and cat calendar on earth.

These gifts for cat lovers are all under $50, and they're either funny, actually useful, or something their cat will claim on day one.

Funny gifts for cat lovers

Cat butt coasters

Every cat owner knows this view. These knitted cat butt coasters put it on the coffee table, under their mug. They come in 8 colors, so you can match the recipient's own cat, and they make a great stocking stuffer. Buy 4 or more to mix a set and save 30% automatically at checkout.

A cat costume for photos

For the friend whose cat already has an Instagram, a funny costume makes a memorable gift. Our nun costume for cats is a crowd favorite. Just make sure their cat is the dressing-up type.

Gifts for cat lovers who work from home

Desk cat hammock

If their cat walks across the keyboard during every video call, the Desk Buddy clamp-on cat bed gives the cat its own spot right next to the screen. Check that their desk has an edge the clamp can grip. Our guide to choosing a cat bed for your desk explains what to measure.

Gifts the cat will love too

Zoomies Launcher cat toy

Squeeze the trigger and a spinning disc floats across the room. The Zoomies Launcher needs no batteries and gets even lazy cats jumping. At $14.99, it's an easy add-on gift.

Window perch

Indoor cats love a view. The Window Watch no-drill cat perch hooks onto the window sill and gives their cat a front-row seat for bird watching.

Cozy cat sofa bed

The Cloud Couch cat bed looks like a tiny designer sofa and holds warmth for winter naps. The small size fits well under $50.

Water fountain

A practical gift any cat owner will use daily. Our stainless steel cat water fountain holds 2.2 liters and keeps water moving, which many cats prefer.

A cozy gift for the cat lover themselves

For the person whose cat is always on their lap, the pet pouch hoodie has a front pocket a small cat can curl up in. It's the gift they'll wear all winter.

Gift tips

• Order early. Holiday shipping gets slower in December, so give yourself time.
• Match the cat. Coaster colors and costume sizes are more fun when they fit the actual cat.
• Bundle it. A toy plus a coaster set makes a great stocking for under $30.
