The 14 Valentine’s Day Gifts for Cats
Food & Feeding Gifts
1. Whisker-Friendly Cat Bowl
- Our Pick: Hepper NomNom Bowl
“Whisker fatigue” refers to the sensory overload cats can feel when their whiskers touch a surface. If your cat’s food bowl is causing them whisker fatigue, they may be less likely to eat and more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior toward people or pets in the home. So get your kitty back to loving you again this Valentine’s Day with a bowl catered to their unique anatomy.
The Hepper NomNom Bowl is a whisker-friendly option that boasts two shallow stainless steel dishes to ensure your kitty’s whiskers aren’t bothered at mealtime. The dishwasher-safe dishes sit atop a wide-lipped tray that helps to keep your floors clean even if your kitty is a messy eater.
2. Freeze-Dried Treats
Freeze-dried cat treats are usually made from high-quality, single-ingredient sources. They’re typically free from artificial preservatives and flavorings rampant in other cat treats on the market.
The Bonkers Freeze Dried Purr Pops Variety Bundle contains three bags of freeze-dried cat treats in chicken, salmon, and tuna flavors. Each package includes four pops and just one ingredient. These adorable treats are heart-shaped and perfect for Valentine’s Day gifting.
3. Protein Treats
- Our Pick: Catit Nuna Treats
In case you need another adorable heart-shaped treat for your kitty this Valentine’s Day, the Catit Nuna Treats should fit the bill. These insect and herring-flavored treats are not only tasty for your kitty but better for our environment than other options on the market.
Feeding your cat insect-based foods can significantly reduce your ecological footprint, and because insect protein is a complete and clean alternative to meat protein, your kitty will benefit, too. Plus, how could you not love these adorable heart-shaped bites?
Cozy Gifts
4. Nest Bed
- Our Pick: Hepper Nest Bed
All cats deserve a bed that’s not only cozy but catered specifically to their favorite sleeping style. Nest beds are a great option because most cats prefer sleeping in the curled-up position the bed encourages.
We recommend the Hepper Nest Bed as its microfiber lip is perfect for chin resting, and the plush fleece liner offers maximum comfort. The liner is also removable and machine washable, so you can keep your kitty’s bed smelling fresh.
5. Faux Fur Bed
- Our Pick: Lcybem Store Heart-Shaped Cat Bed
Faux fur beds are cozy and warm places for your kitty to rest for their naps. The Lcybem Store Heart-Shaped Cat Bed is an adorable option for Valentine’s Day, especially in the pink color. If you’re worried about pink clashing with your décor, they also have gray and light gray options. This bed offers a memory foam bolster to support your kitty’s head, and the inner pad is removable and machine washable.
6. Anxiety Reducing Snuggle Toy
Having a cat with anxiety can be really challenging. They need warmth and comfort that you may be unable to provide them 24/7.
The SmartPetLove Original Snuggle Kitty Heartbeat Stuffed Toy for Cats can recreate your cat’s experience of being coddled by their mother. It comes with a battery-operated heartbeat pack that recreates mama’s soothing heartbeat and an easy-to-use heat pack to offer comfort and warmth.
Enrichment Gifts
7. Catnip Toy
Cats go bonkers for catnip because it makes them feel good. When they smell, lick, and rub on this natural herb, it releases nepetalactone, which mimics a cat’s natural “happy” pheromones.
The Yeowww! Hearrrt Attack Happy Kitty Cat Toy is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for any catnip-loving kitty. It’s filled with organically grown catnip and made in the USA. The cotton twill material is extra durable and should stand up to aggressive play styles.
8. Scratcher
A cat’s need to scratch is practically coded into their DNA. They scratch to express emotions, mark objects with their scent, and give themselves a bit of a manicure. Without an outlet for these behaviors, they’ll turn to your furniture or window coverings and unsheathe those mighty claws.
The Furhaven Scratching Pad Ball Track Cat Toy is a fantastic option for Valentine’s Day because not only is it heart-shaped, but it doubles as a scratcher and a toy. The track has two balls to entertain your kitty, and the irresistible corrugated surface throughout the toy will ensure your furniture remains scratch-free.
9. Collapsible Tunnel
- Our Pick: Parnios Store Collapsible Cat Tunnel
Cat tunnels serve several purposes. They offer mental and physical enrichment while encouraging exploration and problem-solving and promoting their hunting instincts.
The Parnios Store Collapsible Cat Tunnel is an adorable option for Valentine’s Day with its pink and red color scheme and heart motif. The tunnel has three openings and a peephole, making it perfect for multi-cat households. It folds down flat in seconds when you need to tuck it away after playtime.
10. Cat Tree
- Our Pick: Yaheetech 54in Cat Tree Tower
Cats are naturally curious creatures with an affinity for being up high. A high perch allows them the ability to safely surveil their environment and keep their eyes peeled for potential predators. While your home is likely predator-free, a cat’s instincts to seek places they feel safe will still remain.
The pink Yaheetech 54in Cat Tree Tower is a great Valentine’s Gift not only for its perfect color but also for the enrichment it will provide. This tree offers a vertical territory for your kitty to climb and play on, scratch, and even hide. And if you’re worried about the pink clashing with your home décor, it’s available in more neutral colors, too.
11. Interactive Toy
Interactive toys are great for keeping your cat busy and entertained when you’re not able to play with them. They typically require charging or batteries, so some foresight is required to ensure your cat’s toy is fully charged when they’re ready to play.
The Potaroma Cat Toys 3-in-1 Automatic Interactive Kitten Toy is a versatile 3-in-1 interactive toy with a fluttering butterfly, ball track, and a feather that pops out at random. It can run on 4 AA batteries or be connected to a power source.
Miscellaneous Gifts
12. Valentine’s Day Outfit
- Our Pick: cyeollo Valentine’s Day Dog Dress
Most cat owners know that cats generally don’t enjoy wearing clothing. While we don’t recommend forcing your kitty into doing things they don’t like, we included a cute Valentine’s Day outfit on this list on the off chance that your cat is one of the few who enjoys wearing clothes.
The cyeollo Valentine’s Day Dog Dress may say it is for dogs, but there’s no reason a fashion-forward kitty couldn’t wear it. This sweet outfit features a red heart-adorned tutu and an adorable pink bow.
13. Breakaway Collar
- Our Pick: Mtliepte Cat Collars With Heart Bling
Breakaway collars are the best option if your cat wears a collar. Sometimes known as quick-release collars, these designs are meant to snap open when tugged at with significant force. This means that if your kitty’s collar were to get entangled in something, it would snap open to prevent choking or injury.
The Mtliepte Cat Collars With Heart Bling are the perfect choice for your kitty this Valentine’s Day. Included is one pink collar and one purple collar, both with a bling-adorned heart-shaped design. They also have a bell so you know where your kitty is at all times.
14. Identification Tag
Every cat that goes outside should have an identification tag. If your kitty were to escape from your yard or get lost, the ID tag allows whoever finds your pet to contact you for a quick reunion.
The GoTags Personalized Silicone Heart Dog & Cat ID Tag is a cute heart-shaped design available in several color options. However, we recommend opting for pink if you’re looking for Valentine’s Day gifts. The tag is made of durable silicone and can be custom engraved on both sides with your contact information and pet’s name.
Conclusion
While Valentine’s Day is typically celebrated between two partners, there’s no reason you can’t spoil your kitty on February 14th with a gift to celebrate your appreciation for them. We hope the 14 options above have given you some inspiration so your kitty can feel the love this Valentine’s Day.
