A Hanukkah cat.

Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, falls between the 7th and 15th of December this year, and while everyone knows the holiday season is best spent with friends and family, don’t forget it’s also a time to celebrate the furry friends in your life! Your kitty cat might not be one for candles, but why not get them involved in the festivities by gifting them some Hanukkah cat toys? Here’s one Hanukkah cat gift for every day of the festivities to make it impossible to leave your feline friend off the gifting list this year.  

8 Hanukkah gifts for cats

1. Yeowww crinkle catnip toy

Hold onto your whiskers because this crinkly fabric toy is the cat’s meow! Filled to the brim with organically grown catnip, it’s bound to send your feline friend into a festive frenzy as they chase after their new favorite toy.  

2. Catnip filled Hanukkah cat toys

These tasteful toys look more like cookies than playthings, but that won’t stop your kitty cat from batting, chewing, and chasing them every day of the festive season. The dreidel, menorah, and Star of David trio are handmade from felt and filled with catnip to make them extra enticing for your furry friend.

3. Sufganiyah cat toy

Indulge your kitty cat’s sweet tooth without the worry! While we say not to play with your food, cats can now have an adorable donut-shaped playmate which is lovingly crafted from recycled felt and filled with catnip rather than jam.

4. Frisco Hanukkah wand cat toy 

Wand toys are usually at the top of a cat’s holiday wish list, and these are no exception. Adorned with a menorah, dreidel, fish, bread, and coins, you’ll have to hold on tight as you wave these wand toys around, tapping into your feline friend’s natural hunting instincts and seeing if they’ll begin the chase. Not only is this a great toy for mental and physical stimulation, but it can also be a bonding experience for the both of you and is an excellent way for cat sitters to break the ice with their new furry friends. 

5. Dreidel and gelt cat toys stuffed with organic catnip

Cats love dreidels, especially when they’re filled with the créme de la catnip, like this one. Your kitty cat will spend hours spinning this dreidel and chasing after the two little pieces of gelt (don’t worry, these golden treasures aren’t made from chocolate!).

6. Star of David cat collars

Put your feline friend’s safety at the forefront with these breakaway cat collars, which simply pop open the moment they get caught on something. Suitable for cats with necks 7-12 inches wide, these collars come equipped with bells so that everyone knows when your feline friend’s on their way. Oh, and this isn’t just a gift for Hanukkah celebrations, it can be enjoyed year-round! 

7. Star of David pet bow tie

Got a feline fashionista on your hands? Get them all dressed to impress this Hanukkah with a cute bow tie! Designed to be worn for special occasions only (your furry friend doesn’t need to look this dapper all the time!), it’s easy to put on and take off with a simple loop of elastic attaching it to your kitty cat’s collar. 

8. Yarmulke for small animals

This adorable little yarmulke (or should we say meowmulke) is decorated with the Star of David in blue and silver, and a little elastic strap keeps it in place (you may be able to just rest it on top of your kitty cat’s head if they’re compliant). It’s the perfect little accessory to make your feline friend the star of the photo shoot, but we don’t recommend they wear it for too long. 

We’re sure this list of Hanukkah gifts for cats will spin your feline friend’s dreidel, but remember, it doesn’t guarantee every item is completely safe. Some kitty cats play rougher than others, so it’s important to supervise your furry friend when they’re playing with their new Hanukkah gifts.
