Unique Mother’s Day Gifts for Cat Moms and Cat Lovers Alike

This harness-and-leash set has multiple adjustment points to ensure a snug fit and the bungee leash flexes with your frisky cat’s sudden movements.

Add some desert vibes to your abode with this cactus-shaped cat tree that boasts sisal-wrapped posts for scratching, a pom pom for batting around, and a plush, moppy hammock.

Whether you’re a fan of their homewares or their ornate contemporary jewelry, Mociun is the cool girl’s go-to brand for all things lifestyle. If you’re realizing that you haven’t gifted your impossibly chic cat mom friend a special something since their last birthday, now is the time to show how much you care (and how well you know them).

If you’ve ever wondered why modern cat carriers often look like their original plastic boxy prototypes without much room for innovation or contemporary flare, wonder no more. This vegan leather perforated tote makes for a stylish addition to any travel day. It features a water-resistant interior with a removable insert for maximum support, opposing zippers for secure travel, and a collapsible design so it won’t take up any more space than you need it to.

A gift that’s also a built-in activity? Sign us up. This cheetah printed puzzle by the millennial-favorite brand, Jiggy, is an easy gift that’s practically a home-cooked dinner and game night invite all wrapped in one.

This refreshing soap bar has a cool and refreshing feel while providing dull skin with a gentle scrub. Made with sweet peppermint, cooling grapefruit, and exfoliating mint leaves, this fresh and relaxing soap is only made better by its illustrated cat cover, making it perfect for every cat lover.

The bond between women and their cats is well documented. From Frida Khalo to Julia Child to more recent figures like Taylor Swift being avid cat enthusiasts, there’s no shortage of history between women and cats. That’s why Catlady, a book of illuminating interviews and illustrations by author Leah Goren, is the perfect gift for the cat mom in your life.

If your style intersects with the cat motif, but not strongly enough to wear tiger stripes, these classics with a bold patterned swish, which were a part of Nike’s ‘Year of the Tiger’ drop, might be your new go-to sneakers.

Not only do these psychedelic catnip joints come from the earth, but they’re also good for the earth. Made with sustainably sourced recycled satin and stuffed with organic hemp fiber, your cat can fully relax with their new favorite pastime and you can set the mood with some Steely Dan.

Whoever made the rules about home decor would probably approve of having a custom portrait of your pet(s) hanging above the mantle, entry table, or anything in between. Chances are anyone with an affinity for their pets will feel the same way.

Remember when your mom made you wear embarrassing matching sweaters for Christmas photos and family vacations? Well, 90s nostalgia is back and better than ever, which is why we’re recommending matching checkered sweater vests for you and your cat this Mother’s Day. Moms really do have the best clothes.

Looking to zen out and chill this Mother’s Day? Astier De Villatte’s got you covered with this gorgeous cat-shaped incense burner. The smoke comes out of the cat’s mouth, a fun twist on an otherwise traditional 18th-century Parisian ceramic.

For the cat lover who leans into the motifs: If your loved one is more about cheetah print and tiger stripe than paw print, you’ve hit the jackpot with this boutique leopard clutch.

There’s never been a better time to honor your pet than the time of year when we’re taking stock of what we’re grateful for. Alex Friesen’s custom embroideries are becoming more and more difficult to get on the waitlist for, as they can take up to 60 hours to make. If you’re looking for a homemade gift without shelling out a week’s worth of time, we’d suggest this memorable present.

If there’s a more adorable way to keep track of your cat, I’d like to see it. Otherwise, might I suggest smashing that Add to Cart button?

For the cat lover who appreciates a good gag: Not all presents have to be serious and rooted in a tradition or inside joke. Sometimes a good novelty present better demonstrates how well you know someone (and their humor) than a set of kitchen knives.

We admit it, checking Brooklyn boutique Catbird was almost too easy, but you will win Mother’s Day with this dainty gem. Every piece of jewelry that Parisian, LA-based designer Hortense makes is covetable, but peep her Instagram @hortenselovesjewelry and you’ll find she has a soft spot for felines and counts quintessential cat mom Emma Watson as a fan. This coquettish kitty ear single stud, in rose gold with white diamonds, is perfect for a curated ear of mismatched piercings. It’s the little things.

How fitting is it that your little weirdo cat friend would be perched atop your desk cast in ceramic glaze just as they creepily stare at you on the day-to-day? We appreciate a gift that’s true to form and if we’re being honest, the real portrait here is more personality than surface level.

If you’ve ever been tasked with growing cat grass from a bag, you know how temperamental the herbal cat treat can be. Not only is using a cultivating kit way better for the environment (goodbye little plastic pouches), but it’s also a much more enjoyable and rewarding process. Your cat will definitely appreciate the farm-to-table service.

It’s rare to find a gift that practically tells the recipient that they have great taste. Thankfully, if you’re looking to make a purchase in this genre, nearly everything in Areaware’s arsenal will fit the bill. Our recommendation? This quirky animated cat pillow.

Carry-out food themed beds is not a genre we’re super familiar with, but if this Pets So Good tan vegan leather paper bag bed is any indication, we’ll look forward to seeing more iterations of this style.
