The only thing better than spending a holiday with your feline companion is spending a holiday that lasts 8 days with your cat. Holidays are the time to celebrate with your friends and family, especially with your crazy cat sidekick. As any loving pet parent can tell you, the joy of getting little gifts for your cat is unforgettable. Please share the holiday spirit with your cat and include them in your holiday gift exchange.
Check out our list of gifts for you to share with your cat, one for each day of Hannukah. If you like to spoil your kitty, here are some reviews of eight of the best Hanukkah cat gifts you can get for your cat! Tpr Dog Toys
Let’s face it, any toy packed with catnip will be a kitty playtime favorite. Made from felt and certified organic catnip, this dreidel and gelt toy set is bound to be a hit for your furry friend. You don’t need to do much or add much extra to playtime when the toy is packed with fragrantly irresistible catnip. Let your cat join in on the dreidel games and participate in the holiday spirit with these creative catnip toys. The toys are the best overall way to bring the Hanukkah holiday spirit into your cat’s playtime activities.
The best gift during the holiday is sometimes the gift that gives you the most bang for your buck. With a toy like Kong’s Feather Teaser that’s less than $5, you’ll have the best Hanukkah cat gift for the money. While interactive cat toys are nice for your cat if they are often alone, Kong’s Feather Teaser brings you into the action and provides two gifts for the price of one: quality time and hilarious cat acrobatics. This toy is a perfect, budget-friendly choice for you and your active feline.
As with all wand-type toys, it’s best if your cat only plays with this toy while you are supervising.
Automatic cat toys are all the rage, especially for those of us who own active cats and can’t be home all the time to play with them. If you know your cat is content to play on its own, this toy is ideal for premium playtime.
With an automatic on-and-off switch paired with a smart sensor, this toy will keep your cat engaged and interested even if you aren’t home. The toy comes with a feather dangle attached to two wheels, and it moves around the room erratically, tempting your cat into a fun game of chase.
It is also suitable for any floor type because of its two speeds. The toy entices your cat to stalk, chase, and pounce, all without you having to lift a finger. Treat your cat this Hannukah to a toy that will give them hours of playtime exercise.
We’ve all seen videos of cats and kittens pouncing around room chasing a laser beam. Maybe you’ve seen videos of a cat going flying off a couch or running headfirst into a wall during their intense chase. Laser toys are a cat favorite and with good reason.
Some cats may become frustrated with a laser toy, but if you combine this chase with treats or toys that your ferocious feline can actually catch, you are in for a rewarding playtime experience. Most cats adore a good old laser chase, and it is a perfect way for you to spend time playing with your cat. The best part of this durable, stainless-steel laser is that it is USB chargeable; you never have to worry about replacing the batteries in mid-chase.
These little critters are perfect gifts for indoor cats. The SmartyKat Skitter Critters pack comes with 10 catnip-infused toys for your cat to chase around your home and satisfy their hunting instinct. Even if your cat loses one toy during the holiday buzz and mess of gifts, you can get them a quick replacement because of how many come in the value pack.
These mouse-shaped toys are infused with catnip to promote play and reduce your cat’s stress, which can skyrocket during the holidays with new people coming to visit. Your cat will have a happy Hannukah playing chase with these catnip critters!
With its colorful spinning balls and three tracks, this three-tiered toy can entertain cats for hours. Watch your cat go crazy during the holidays as they spin and roll around the toy, trying to free the balls from the tracks. The best part about the PetStages Tower of Tracks is that the balls won’t leave the tracks, and your cat doesn’t have to chase them around your home.
Your furry friend can entertain themselves and stimulate their hunting instincts by trying to catch the fast-moving toys on their trips around the track. If your cat is really into it, they may even get all three balls rolling at once!
If you have a kitty motivated by food, this is the toy for you. The Trixie Activity Center is the perfect cat toy to encourage your cat to get active in order to feed. There are tunnels, tubes, pegs, and fishbowls for your cat to explore in the hunt for their kibble and treats. Food puzzles are an incredibly popular way to keep your cat’s mind and reflexes sharp. Sit back and watch your cat try to solve the different ways to catch and eat and play during your holiday break. The best part of this toy is its nonslip rubber backing, helping it to stay in place as your cat goes wild on their quest for the hidden goodies.
If you own a cat, you’ve probably witnessed the power of your cat’s obsession with strings, ribbons, and shoelaces. Wrapping presents and tying your shoes in the morning can be a struggle, with a frisky feline attacking the strings and ribbons every chance they get, and this Rainbow Cat Charmer toy will be no different.
Giving a classic chase that both you and your cat can enjoy, the rainbow cat dancer is durable and features 4 feet of colorful ribbon to give your hands enough room to avoid excited paw swipes. The toy will keep your cat engaged and ready for the chase and the hunt for quite a while, and it’s a great way to keep your pet active. However, we do not recommend leaving the toy unsupervised as it can lead to injury if your cat gets tangled.
Choosing the best gift for your cat during Hanukkah doesn’t have to be overwhelming and scary. Not only have we introduced you to some of our favorites, but we will answer your questions on how to choose the best possible toy for you and your kitty. Let’s get down to business and arm you with everything you need to select the best cat toy during the holidays.
Not every cat likes the same toys, and not every cat likes to play the same way. Finding out what our cat loves the most is up to us, the owners. However, there are some basic features you should keep an eye out for regardless of the type of toy you are searching for.
While we may wish to be, it is not always possible for us to be around 100% of the time to play with our cat. Therefore, it is essential that you choose a toy suitable for solo play. You must ensure that any toy you choose will not become a safety hazard without your supervision. Toys made for solo play, like the ball track and feeding mat puzzles, would be better choices if you are not always home.
When buying a toy for your furry friend, you want to consider the possible benefits they are getting from the toy. For example, some toys feature built-in scratchers to help your cat maintain their nails and others have chewing pieces to encourage oral health. Most toys are designed to promote physical activity and use your cat’s natural hunting instincts to keep them stimulated and its muscles healthy. Some cat toys are even designed to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. Choose a toy based on the benefits your cat needs.
One of the biggest fears when buying a toy is whether or not your pet will use it. We recommend just sticking to purchasing toys you already know your cat enjoys. If you know your cat prefers catnip toys, choose catnip chasers or kickers. If you notice your cat is often enthralled by your shoelaces or ribbons, selecting a ribbon chaser or string toy would be a logical jump.
Finding the perfect gifts for the 8 days of Hanukkah couldn’t be easier after following our list of top choices and reviews. If you want to share the spirit of Hanukkah with your cat, we can’t think of a better overall choice than these handmade felt catnip Dreidels. For a more budget-friendly option, Kong’s Feather Teaser offers interactive playtime with your cat. And last but certainly not least, Bentopals Automatic Cat Toy is the perfect premium choice for any pet parent who isn’t always home to give their cat attention during the day.
