Cat Dad Gift Ideas for Father’s Day!

By

We all know that some children are covered with hair and some are covered with skin. Some (eventually) walk on two legs, others walk, run, and scamper on four. Some have whiskers, some do not.
Some will go to school, learn to drive, and start dating… while others save you the heartbreak and heartache of such things!

Make no mistake about it, though, our children are OUR children and we love them with all that’s within us.

The following is a roundup of gift ideas for cat dads. I apologize that I never got a gift roundup done for cat moms – I cracked some ribs and bruised others right before Mother’s Day and have, since then, simply been trying to find ways to move and sit that didn’t hurt. Even breathing hurts!

Fortunately, the pain is far better now and I can at least get this roundup done. Each link is an Amazon link (where I do almost all of my online shopping).

Delectables Squeeze Ups: The Best Cat Food on the Market, According to Our Picky Cats!

By

Dokkie with Delectables

I choose this one!

Have your cats tried the new Delectables Squeeze Ups (Amazon link)?? I’ve seen them in a few different stores (some are sold with 4 in a package, some with more), but they can be difficult to find sometimes – apparently every cat in the county loves them!

Our cats can be picky sometimes and finding ONE food they ALL like has always been almost impossible…

  • Delilah likes this, but Tulip hates it.
  • Dokkie (starring in these pictures!) and Guennie like this, but it makes Nacho sick and Delilah won’t touch it!
  • Tulip’s favorite is this, but Dokkie and Delilah are convinced it’s poison.
  • Guennie won’t touch that but everyone else tolerates it.
  • Everyone will eat this but it makes Dokkie and Delilah throw up every other time they eat it.

Dokkie with Delectables

Delectables gives me the happies!

Story of my life! Delectables Squeeze Ups  (Amazon link) is HONESTLY the only food I’ve tried (and we’re talking several years and every food on the market) that all of our cats love and causes zero stomach issues with any of them. What’s extra challenging is that the same food you’ve bought for YEARS for one cat, for whatever reasons, upsets another cat’s stomach. For example, my beautiful Alexa ate Fancy Feast cans all of her life (17 years) and never had an issue. She preferred Salmon in the pink cans and seeing them on shelves, to this day, makes me think of her. They never upset her stomach in the least. But Dokkie and Delilah throw up ANY time they have Fancy Feast.

Doesn’t make sense, but there you have it!

These two beautiful girls (Dokkie and Delilah) are also the most particular about their food. Maybe it’s because they know some foods upset their stomachs??? Delectables Squeeze Ups is the first food I’ve tried that ALL of the cats love to distraction and causes absolutely ZERO upset stomachs.

Naturally, Delectables also has more traditional packaging with their Delectables Bisque Packets (all of our cats love these as well), but there’s just something so quick and tidy (very, very tidy!) about the squeeze ups.

Suffice to say, we are now buying this one in bulk (every flavor we find). Problem is, as I said before, it can be hard to find sometimes.

If you find it in your favorite store, be sure to grab some and give your cats a meal they’ll love. It’s available on Amazon in different flavors, too, and is so convenient to find.

Milifun Elevated Cat Dishes… LOVE These!

By

This gorgeous Milifun Elevated Cat Food and Water Dish (Amazon link) is almost too cute for its own good – like the cats it was made for!

I love how great-looking it is and love how comfortable it would be for my cats to use even more. One of our cats (Nacho – the handsome boy pictured below!) actually has a windpipe condition that makes it necessary for him to eat in a more upright position. This will be ideal for him, as having to bend all the way over causes him to cough and often throw up the food he just ate.

Cat Toys: Best Variety Pack I’ve Found is on Amazon

By

Huck with Toy

A few years ago I found a way to BOTH make Christmas last all year long AND be able to actually afford to get the things for my family (with fur and without) without breaking the bank over a span of two months: I buy things throughout the year and hide them safely away. Most of my shopping is done on Amazon – which is where I bought this great Cat Toys Variety Pack from.

I intended to save it for Christmas morning and open it for our cats… but… well… as you can see, things don’t always go as planned.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys

When UPS brought the Amazon box, the cats came running. They know that an UPS delivery always, always, always means they get a new box to play with. When they gathered around, I couldn’t help but think what a fun afternoon it’d be if I gave them this gift early.

As you can see, the thought of it was more than I could fight off and we had a little Christmas in May party right then and there!

Dokkie and Cat Toys

Their excitement and joy was palpable and reminded me of kids… the ones that walk on two feet (generally) and aren’t covered with hair… on Christmas morning. Furry kids get just as excited – going in circles, not knowing which toy to play with first.

If you have cats, you know exactly what I mean when I say that I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves more – them or me.

Babies with Toys

This is a wonderful Cat Toys Variety Pack – it was even better than I’d expected it to be. For such a great price (between $12 – $13), I wasn’t sure what kind of quality to expect from each individual toy. I was surprised and delighted to see that the quality was excellent. Each toy is very, very well made and is standing up to intense play perfectly!

Cats with Toys

 

Features:

  • Contains Assorted 20 toys.
  • Keep your cat busy when you are away.
  • Give your cat a way to release his energy with this combo pack of entertaining toys. Featuring feathers, balls and catnip, mice and more this pack is the perfect choice for your furry friend.
  • supervise your pet. For play only. Not a child”s toy. Toy should be removed and replaced if excessive wear or damage occurs.
  • Holiday, birthday or everyday, this cat treats/toys gift set is just what your kitty ordered.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys 2

I tried to take several pictures to show off the variety of toys – as well as our babies enjoying them… but it’s very difficult to photograph excited, fast-moving cats!

Delilah, Dokkie, and Huck with Toys

The picture at the bottom is of Nacho and was taken a few hours after the toys had arrived and had been played with fiercely. Each cat was worn out (just like human kids!) and had found their own favorite place to recuperate and conserve energy. Nacho was in his favorite bed, resting up from all the activity – I pranced one of the toys in front of him and he sat right up.

Sure enough, he hopped back up and decided it was playtime again. The girls (one at a time) all joined in and we had another round.

In the weeks since, the toys are played with again and again. I like to gather them all together and present them like I did that day – the excitement is the same each time.

Again… I am not sure who enjoys it all the most, but I think she might just be typing these words.
