Read on for gifts that entertain both humans and kitties, products that proclaim an affinity while also spiffing up your favorite cat lover's home decor, and many more purrfect (we're sorry) ideas.

We're pretty sure there's not a cat owner alive who would not proudly display this book on their coffee table. It's 128 pages of cats — gacked out on the 'nip — shot by professional pet photographer Andrew Marttila. As the description notes, "delightful, elegant Fluffy transforms into a hell-bent renegade. Shy, reserved Mittens becomes a free-loving acrobat ... " and so on. Yep, it's awesome.

If kitty is constantly interrupting your loved one's Zoom calls, maybe getting them their own laptop — that doubles as a scratch pad — might cut down on the disruptions. Plus, it's just darn cute.
