Cats are so special! They're affectionate, playful, contemplative and squirmy, and they make wonderful foot warmers. They also have a huge following, which may include someone you know. Seniors and retirees, families and singles, have discovered that cats are wonderful companions. If you know a cat fanatic, work the theme into a great gift idea. Here are some to get you started:

Kitty Decor: If they're into cats, they probably wouldn't mind a table runner, framed art or linens that boast furry felines.

Paw Door Knocker: They'll love a classy little door knocker that exhibits a perfect paw print. Go online to find the best selection of brass and nickel door knockers.

Cat Body Pillow: Most people use more than one pillow to compensate for the inadequate support of a traditional rectangular pillow. That's why body pillows are such a great gift. Have them purring in comfort with an extra long pillow shaped like their favorite pal.

A Gift for Kitty: What better way to bring a cat lover joy than to buy a little something for their cat? There are a ton of really unique doodads and widgets for kitties these days. Imagine a robot controlled kitty exerciser or a rhinestone bling bling kitty collar. Sensational!

Funny Cat Books: If you visit a book store or search around online, you're sure to find a wide selection of hilarious cat books that will have them roaring. How about the New Yorker Book of Cat Cartoons? Or Cockatiels for Two: A Book of Cat Cartoons? For something with a bit of drama, look for The Cats of Our Lives: Funny and Heartwarming Reminiscences of Feline Companions.

Handcrafted Cat Lover Gifts: Visit online retailers specializing in handcrafted items for cat lovers. They have an extraordinary assortment of wood boxes, jewelry, gift sets and decorative accessories that celebrate his or her favorite feline. Especially look for the kitty wind chimes or UFO kitty pin.

Cat Bejeweled Clothing: Not happy with anything you've seen so far? Well, there's always a t-shirt, sweatshirt, apron or socks accented with a cat or two. You can find gifts like these just about anywhere.

Cat lovers are one of the easiest people to buy a gift for. From decor to fun stuff, you'll definitely be giving that purrrfect gift!
