For The Home: Cat Gifts for Travelers

Since cats don't always want to take the trip with you, and your friends and family aren’t available for every feeding, these items can help with the imperfect timing that comes with traveling and pet ownership.

Self Cleaning Kitty Litter Box

Go weeks at a time with no scooping, cleaning, or refilling. This self cleaning litter box is top of every cat owners wishlist. Whether traveling or not, never come home to a smelly house and a hot mess in your kitty litter box again.

Another Great Gift For Cat Owners

If you’re in the market for a unique gift for a cat owner, here’s one other gift I’d like to show you, whether they travel or not. It’s a book I co-authored called Crazy Cat Owner by Funterventions.

Crazy Cat Owner Book (See Inside)

Crazy Cat Owner showcases the hilarious characteristics of cat owners who take “pet parenthood” to a new (and sometimes crazy) level! The book begins with an introduction to the reader that their friends and family are concerned that the reader is displaying warning signs of being a crazy cat owner. The intro is followed by 50 humorous warning signs that anyone with a cat will relate to. This book makes the perfect gift for your friends and family who absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their cats (maybe TOO much).

Crazy Cat Owner by Funterventions

And that concludes my list of items that will make the lives of traveling cat owners a little easier. If there’s anything I missed that you and your cat use when you travel together, drop me a comment below with the link or e-mail me.

If you like it then you should've put a Pin on it!
