Basepaws Breed + Health Cat DNA Test
Does your friend have a cat whose origins are a mystery? Perhaps theyâve guessed that certain physical traits come from pedigreed cats. Or are they curious to know about unknown genetic health risks their cat is prone to? Well, the Basepaws Breed + Health Cat DNA test takes out all the guesswork, showing you what your cat is made of. A catâs breed is not just interesting for humans to know about, as each cat breed has different genetic risk factors and traits. Developed by scientists, geneticists, and veterinarians, Basepaws uses the worldâs largest cat genetic database to provide you with the most comprehensive results available. Your catâs results include a breakdown of your catâs genetic similarity to 21 breeds, as well as an analysis of your catâs sample for physical traits, genetic health traits, and oral microbiome signatures. This information is great for you and your vet, both to satisfy curiosity and learn more about your catâs genetic health in order to give them the best care possible. Knowing is caring, and the Basepaws test is as strong as your bond!
Petlibro Dockstream Smart Fountain
Have you ever had a glass of water on a hot day, and the taste hit just right? As it turns out, our cats are just as picky about their water as we are! There is a reason for it, though, as cats are naturally inclined to perceive flowing water as safer just like their wild ancestors (even if we all know that a regular bowl of water is fine). But cat fountains are noisy and the tanks are so hard to clean! Thatâs where Petlibro comes in with their Dockstream Smart Fountain. They understand what cats and humans want. Their smart fountain connects to their app that lets you measure your catâs water intake which is an important metric to watch as a part of your catâs health and well-being. Their fountain also has a four-layer vertical filtration system, keeping your catâs water clean and fresh. Best part? Itâs easy to clean and is whisper-quiet, so cats and humans both love it!
Yeowww! Catnip Toys
Sometimes, the best holiday gifts are the toys we got as kids that we could play with all day. Cats love having fun as much as we do, and they need a good toy to do that! The Yeowww! Catnip toys can be just that for your cat. These toys are made with durable cotton and crinkle fabric, so they wonât be shredded instantly when your cat gets their teeth and claws into them. On the inside, these toys are filled with 100% organically grown catnip, so you know what your cat is playing with and you know itâs entirely safe. Your cat will have endless hours of fun with these adorable toys that come in a great variety of shapes and sizes to satisfy human aesthetics. These make great stocking fillers or are great bonus toys to bulk out a gift basket. These are also great gifts for cat lovers who have cats with boundless energy to get stuck into and burn off some steam, or for mellow cats that need something to break out of their shell.

If youâre the outdoorsy type and you want to take your cat into the great outdoors, then The Navigator backpack for cats is what you need. It is made of sturdy, breathable mesh that can hold up to 25 pounds. The windows on three sides of the bag mean your cat can see the world around them.

Itâs easy to prepare for your next journey with your feline friend with this bag, and itâs safe enough to give you peace of mind.

RYERYCAT Cat Toothbrush
As humans, we pay great attention to our oral health, so why not pay the same mind to our catsâ oral care? Oral and dental problems are some of the most common problems that vets face when treating cats. Dental problems arenât just little annoyances either as they can go on to manifest more serious problems that are painful for our pets and expensive for us humans. Prevention is always better than having to find a cure though, and thatâs where this cat toothbrush comes in. RYERCAT designed their toothbrush for the feline mouth, their soft bristles are designed to clean teeth and protect gums, and they help fight bad breath. The small brush heads mean you arenât fighting your cat to fit something into their mouth that isnât designed for them. The team behind RYERCAT is just like you, cat lovers who want to save their catâs teeth and keep them healthy for as long as possible, so you, and your catâs teeth, are in good hands.
Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed
Taking your cat on long trips can be tricky. For most cat parents, the #1 issue preventing them from taking their cat to regular vet visits is transportation. The Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed was designed to make traveling more comfortable for cats, whether on a trip to the vet or a longer ride in the car. The pods have a plush and comfortable interior that keeps your cat snug and cozy, while the luggage-grade exterior keeps them safe in a car or wherever your journey may take you. With pet safety being a top priority, these beds have been put through car seat crash-testing to make sure your cat is safe even in the worst possible situation! When you arenât on the go, you can unzip the mesh top and use this as a comfortable bed around your home. It comes in a variety of stylish colors, and if your kitty has a canine friend, you can get one for them too.
Cuddle Clones Original Plush Animal
Cats are sweet and loving creatures, but are not always the most physically affectionate - they may not want to snuggle us and thatâs ok. We also know they wonât always live forever, and sometimes we need something to celebrate the friendship we have with our furry friends. Cuddle Clones creates personalized one-of-a-kind replicas of your cat in stuffed animal forms. These are perfect presents for family members who canât always be with your cat due to distance, or younger family members who just want to hold your cat even when they do not want to be held. For those of us who own and love our cats though, we know we create a bond with them that lasts a lifetime and beyond, and what better way to celebrate and remember a friendship than having a handcrafted clone of them for you to always keep close to your heart.
