Kate Benjamin from Hauspanther stopped by Vetstreet to share some holiday cheer and a few of her favorite gift ideas.


Doesn’t your cat deserve something fun on Christmas morning? You can fill her stocking with these great stocking stuffer ideas, since they’re all under $10. And even though the price is affordable, these items are top quality and super stylish. Chances are, kitty will enjoy them and so will you!

It’s important to keep safety in mind during the holiday season and year-round. Whenever you give your cat a toy, always supervise and take it away at the first sign that it is falling apart to help prevent choking or accidental ingestion.

These beautiful cat toys are hand-felted from alpacas' wool, creating gorgeous marbled colors and a soft texture that cats tend to love. Each toy contains a pinch of catnip and a jingle bell inside to entice kitty to play.
