Christmas isn’t just about finding Dreamies under the tree. While your cat may hiss at their neighbourhood enemies, deep down they definitely do care for all the kitties in the world, so what better way to spread festive cheer than by buying an RSPCA Gift of Comfort? This gift card could contribute towards a cosy bed and nourishing breakfast for a rescued cat, helping them recover from injury, cruelty or neglect. It’s a no-brainer.

Does your cat stare longingly at your plate during the cheese course on Christmas Day? Sadly for them, cheese can cause digestive issues in cats, so offer them the next best thing with this wine and cheese-inspired teaser wand. With a crinkly wedge of cheese and a bottle of vino stuffed with catnip, this toy will keep them busy all evening long, so you can focus on crying as Emma Thompson plays that Joni Mitchell CD.

For those blessed with the kind of space a toy like this requires in their home, a cat wheel can be a good way to make sure your kitty gets some exercise (supervised at all times, of course). With cat wheels it’s crucial to get the right size – it should be 2–2.5 times the length of the cat’s body on all four paws. Now, whether your cat will use it of course, is another matter entirely.

Durable and delightfully crinkly, this felt tunnel features cut-out windows so your cat can spy on you while you wrap their presents. When the lurking is over, it folds flat with simple snap buttons and cleans up easily with a quick brush or vacuum. A cosy hideaway, hunting ground and boredom-buster all in one.

Did you know raw or steamed carrots can actually be a good healthy snack for cats? Whether they’ll eat them is another matter entirely. This fabric toy, complete with a rattle inside, offers the perfect middle ground – and if we end up with a white Christmas, it could even double as a snowman’s nose.

Turn mealtime into playtime with this melon-themed puzzle that’s perfect for curious cats. Designed to tap into their natural foraging instincts, it keeps paws and brains busy. With 12 hidden compartments, adjustable difficulty levels and no removable parts to go astray, it’s a safe way to keep them entertained during the chaos of Christmas Day and beyond.

Let’s be honest – all your cat wants for Christmas is unfortunately not you, it’s Dreamies. This gift box includes one sample of the new Catnip flavour treat and 10 packs of other flavours, so it’s going to last a lot longer than your box of Quality Street.
Dreamies is a Mars brand. We think their products are pretty cool, but we don’t play favourites. So, when a product has family ties, we’ll be real with you.

It’s giving The Bear “Feast of the Seven Fishes” episode – but hopefully with a lot less family drama. Bite-proof and made of thick linen, these cat nip toys will ensure your feline is suitably hyped up for the big day.

Make your cat’s Christmas extra merry with this festive scratcher (which also helpfully lets Santa know where to deliver all your cat’s other gifts). Wrapped in durable natural sisal, it keeps claws busy and furniture safe – a boredom-busting gift your feline will love (almost as much as the wrapping paper).

Twee and stylish in the best possible way, this festive porcelain dish from Selfridges will elevate your cat’s Christmas dinner to fine-dining status – although, its design is subtle enough to use all year round. And who knows, with a bowl this special, you might finally put an end to that little paw tapping your leg under the table for turkey scraps.

OK, we know this is extravagant – but it’s a cat Christmas tree (!!), how could we not include it? With two separate condos for multi-cat households, this tower is adorned with frost-kissed green plush and comes with interactive elements like a shimmering star topper and baubles to encourage climbing and play. If you want to bring the magic of Christmas to your house 365 days a year, or just really fancy going all in on the seasonal decor, this is a must-have.

How much more personal can you get than a personalised DNA test for your cat to help find out more about their background. Especially useful if your kitty is a rescue with a big question mark over their past, this test will deliver a full breed report and loads of health insights. It’s Who Do You Think You Are, Feline Edition.
Wisdom is a Mars brand. We think their products are pretty cool, but we don’t play favourites. So, when a product has family ties, we’ll be real with you.
