People often think of cats as mostly women’s pets, but plenty of men live with and love on their felines. For Father’s Day, why not honor the doting cat dads in your life with a cute and/or useful cat-themed gift? Let’s celebrate cat fathers!
Here are 12 gift ideas we picked out for cat dads.
#1 Red Dingo “I Love Dad” Stainless Steel Personalized ID Tag
The cats in their human father’s life can express love for dear old dad – and help ensure a safe return home if lost – with this Red Dingo “I (Heart) Dad” tag that comes personalized with identifying information. These tags will not rust or corrode from weather. The tags cost $16.99 on Chewy and come in small, medium and large.
#2 E&S Pets Orange Tabby Sock Daddy Socks
Aren’t these socks so cute? And they even have “Daddy” in the name, making them feel especially fitting as a whimsical and useful Father’s Day gift for a cat dude. This E&S Sock Daddy pair, available for $12.76 on Chewy, is made of extra-soft combed cotton. The socks come in several other designs with both cats and dogs.
#3 Cat Butt: An Off-Color Adult Coloring Book for Cat Lovers
This is the purrfect gift for that cat dad with a quirky sense of humor (and this cat mom admits to owning one of these!) The Cat Butt: An Off-Color Adult Coloring Book for Cat Lovers gives a guy something to snicker at while he colors in traced pictures of cats and kittens presenting their butts, as real-life cats love to do. The coloring book costs $6.99 on Amazon.
#4 Pavilion Cat Dad Coffee Mug
How cute! This 18-ounce ceramic coffee cup has an image of a blue cartoon cat and the “Cat Dad” label on the outside, and cartoon images of toy mice and balls on the inside, with a green rim. The Pavilion Cat Dad Coffee Mug costs $18 at Chewy.
#5 Sockjar Cat Daddy Fuzzy Socks
With a retro-looking sunset design, a yellow-eyed black cartoon cat, and the words “Cat Daddy,” these socks ($14.95) are purrfect for men with cats. Sockjar also offers many other cute, whimsical styles of pet socks through its Amazon store.
#6 Skizbcw Cat Dad Throw Pillow Cover
What an adorable thing for a cat dad to zip onto a couch pillow! The central square in this design calls a cat dad “the man, the myth, the snack dealer.” Surrounding squares show other cute cat drawings and slogans, including “Real Men Love Cats.” (We agree!) The 18-by-18 square pillow cover costs $12.99 at Amazon.
#7 KitNipBox
Why not give the cat dad in your life – and his appreciative cats – a gift that keeps on giving year-round with a KitNipBox subscription? Every month, he will get a curated box of cat toys, treats, and other goodies. The KitNipBox is especially good for people who have multiple cats that will use up the monthly box contents. The Happy Cat subscription with five items costs $25.99 a month, and the Multi-Cat subscription with seven items costs $33.99.
#8 Basepaws Breed + Health Cat DNA Test
Many people are getting genetic testing these days to find out about their ancestors, ethnicity, and possible diseases. Well, the cat dad in your life may not be the cat’s biological dad, but he can still find out all about the DNA makeup of his furry little kid. This Basepaws genetic test has the largest feline genetic database and includes a dental report, which can save your cat pain and discomfort and save you money. The collection process is quick, easy and straightforward. We recently ranked Basepaws, available for $109.99 on Amazon, the highest among cat DNA tests.
#9 Black Cat Smartphone Stand
I have a few cat smartphone stands like these and they are adorable! By placing your smartphone on the cat stand, you don’t worry about where you put it down (and regularly lose the phone, like I do). The polyresin stretching black cat, available for $9.99 on Amazon, is so cute.
#10 MR FANTASY Cat Door Welcome Mat
The Mr. Cat Lover in your life can announce his feline home to visitors with the MR FANTASY Cat Door Welcome Mat, available for $19.90 on Amazon. The large, durable mat – 17 by 29 inches – shows a gray tabby cat face on a dark background. Cute!
#11 Three Rooker Cat Collage Necktie
You just have to have a necktie on any Father’s Day gift list, and this adorable tie is purrfect for cats dads to wear to a Father’s Day brunch, or anywhere. This Three Rooker tie, available for $24.95 on Amazon, is covered with a collage of cat and kitten images in many colors.
#12 “Star Trek Cats” Book
If the cat dad in your life is also a Trekkie, look no further than this whimsical “Star Trek Cats” hardcover coffee table book. Beloved illustrator Jenny Parks created this art book full of images of “Star Trek” characters, but as cats and not humans. Cat dads who love “Star Trek” will love seeing a cat in Captain Kirk’s costume!
