Gift Guide: For the Feline Fanatic

December 5, 2013

One morning after our son’s school drop off, my husband walked in with a bothered look. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “I just sat though an hour-long interrogation,” he responded.

In pursuit of adopting a cat, he had been sternly interviewed and subjected to a thorough character assessment and custody evaluation. Luckily, we knew he had passed when we were invited back as a family, but were surprised to discover that Carl, our chosen cat, had a close sister. Without hesitation, we returned home with the pair. And now that the holidays are upon us, here’s what we’re considering for our new family members (and ourselves).

To make sure we’ve got everyone on your list covered, we’re posting a new gift guide every weekday from now until Christmas. See all of the Gift Guides to date in our archive. And dog lovers, stay tuned next week.

Above: Cat Dishes–for use by people and felines–handmade by designer Leah Goren in her signature cat shape. The plates are available via Leah’s Etsy shop, but tend to sell out the day they appear. Contact Leah via her Etsy shop, Leah Reen Goren, and she’ll let you know when the next batch is coming.

It comes in two sizes: the Two-Pillow Trapeze in white is $89.99, and the Three-Pillow Trapeze in natural is $99.99. Note that insert cushions are sold separately (starting at $19.99 for two), or the maker suggests stuffing the cases with something you have on hand, such as old towels.
