Our cats are part of the family, which means they celebrate with the family! Holidays are a fun and busy time for everyone due to traveling, celebrating, having the family over, and decorating. Who is to say our fur babies can’t join in on the fun?
Cats are very curious and love trying to figure out what is inside boxes and bags. They get excited and happy over presents because not only do they get to solve a mystery of what’s inside the box, there’s actually a reward for them inside! Below are some Easter gift ideas for your kitty. Don’t forget to wrap up some items before placing them in a basket, so the little one can discover what’s inside.

Over at Clicker Training, they had an awesome idea about giving your little furball an Easter egg hunt of their very own. This game can be the perfect Easter gift for your cat that’s interactive, fun and delicious. Here’s how to play:
- Gather up your favorite treats.
- Get some Easter eggs that break in half.
- Rub the outside of the eggs with the treats then put the treats inside the eggs.
- Hide the eggs except for one.
- Invite your cat out and place an egg in the middle of the floor.
- After they sniff and paw at it, open it up to reveal the treat.
- Follow them as they find the others and help them when needed.
This fun game is really easy to set up. Rubbing the outside of the egg gives off a smell so your cat can find them easily. They love the smell of treats, so they will start playing with the egg to try to get to it.
