Hereâs One Gift You Shouldnât Give
As you try to decide which is the perfect gift for the cat lover in your life, thereâs one gift you should definitely leave off your list: an actual cat.
Giving a pet as a gift is never a good idea, especially during the hectic and stressful holiday season. You never know whether the person youâre gifting to is prepared for the long-term commitment involved in caring for a pet.
Caring for an animal properly isnât cheap and unless you are also gifting a lifetime financial commitment, your gift may wind up being more of a burden. Cats can live well into their teenage years, meaning your cat-loving friend is looking at years of expenses thanks to your gift.
Not every cat is a good match for every household. Unless the person you are gifting to is involved in the process, you canât know whether the cat you give will be the right fit.
The post-holiday season is a busy time for shelters, as the reality of pet ownership sinks into the people who received unexpected live animal gifts. Play it safe and stick with buying a cat-themed gift for your feline-obsessed friends.
Conclusion
As you can see, your options for cat-themed gifts are many and varied. Stereotypes notwithstanding, cat lovers come in all human forms and you can find something for everyone on our list. Picking gifts can be stressful but remember, itâs the thought that counts, especially when those thoughts are full of cats!
