The best definition of a cat dad we’ve heard is “Men who work hard so that their cats can have a good life”. However, we feel it’s any man who takes care of and absolutely loves their cats.
So we’ve made this adorable list of cat dad gifts for men to fully embrace this highest honor of being a cat parent. We’ve found some hilarious shirts, laser toys, mugs, neon lights, and more that say “Hey, I’m a proud cat dad”!
Cat Dad Bubble Backpack
This is possibly one of the coolest backpacks for cat dad gifts. This expandable bubble backpack is sized 13″ in Length, 11″ Wide, and 16.5″ Tall for most household-sized cats. We especially love the fully transparent back so the furkids can see everything going on and the 9 large ventilation holes will keep them cool. We are in love with this backpack for the cat dads in your life.
Cat Shaped Ice Cube Tray
A great gag gift or coworker gift, this cat-shaped ice cube tray creates 10 adorable sitting cat ice cubes perfect for hot days. It’s both hilarious and theme practical for cat dads. This is a rubber mold, so it can also be used to mold chocolate, jello, and other creative treats!
Best Cat Dad Shirt
Is this not the coolest cat dad shirt? That’s rhetorical because it absolutely is. For the Cat Dad in your life, we love this goofy shirt for cat dad gifts. It comes in multiple colors other than black and offers men, women, and youth styles.
The Cat Is On My Lap Socks
These socks accurately describe the cat dad lifestyle. Those boast some cute cat graphics along the sides that sport a nerdy cat and secretly hold some fun expressions on the feet, only to be seen when you lounging around the house. We like the fun nature of these socks for business or casual. Plus we totally agree with “I can’t get up right now, the cat is on my lap”. We’ve been there and totally relate!
Cat Dad Cooking Apron
We think this is the go-to cat dad gifts idea for father’s day, birthdays, and honestly any holiday. This apron looks amazing with a fun pattern of cats in a machine-washable design. We just love the design and perhaps even more, we love that it has pockets!
Best Cat Dad Mug
This is one of the greatest mugs for a sassy cat dad in your life. It literally says Best Cat Dad Ever, with a cat flipping the bird. We do see the irony. It’s a fun gag gift and a really nice 11-ounce mug from the reviews. It comes in both white and black. A mug is always an easy gift, so we had to include it on our cat dad gifts list.
Personalized Cat Dad Mug
Another fun Cat Dad Mug but adds a layer of personalization which takes this cat dad gifts idea to the next level! Although the cat in aviator sunglasses is already one of the coolest things ever! We also really like this mug because of the design, and the opportunity to add multiple cat names. Because let’s face it, many cat dads have more than one cat or will soon get another one.
Funky Meow Cat Dad Socks
The clever design of these Meow Cat Dad Socks will make them a conversation piece wherever you go. For both casual or funky sets of socks for the office, these really show off the Cat Dad lifestyle. Plus what’s cool, is that this 5-pack of socks includes different hues of socks which also change the color of the cat. So you’ll definitely find the right sock that matches your cat!
Cat Dad Hiss Shirt
Do we need to say more? This Kiss replica shirt with iconic eye makeup over cats is hilarious. The shirt comes in black, grey, and blue and includes designs fitted for both men, women, and youths. This is such a clever play on words and cats, we understand why this shirt has thousands of positive reviews. One of the best cat dad gifts for the Kiss fan in your life.
Cat Dad Gifts Pint Mug
If the cat dad in your life loves both cats and beer, this might be the perfect gift idea. The 15-ounce pint glass features the Best Cat Dad Ever graphic of a cat flipping the bird in a subtle design that we really love. This is a great gift for coworkers, father’s day, birthdays, and Christmas.
Cat Themed Bow Tie
We’re hoping the bowtie makes a comeback, and those leading the bowtie crusade absolutely need this adorable cat bowtie. It’s adjustable for both adults and kids and should be included in every school photo. It’s pre-tied and clips on with no bow-tie experience necessary. Just sport this amazing tie and let the compliments roll in!
Men’s Cat Themed Tie
What’s neat about this tie, is it’s a really nice tie that just happens to sport a fun cat pattern. A tiny cat playing with pastel-colored toys in various positions makes up the pattern and is only visible if you’re up close. So this is a fun way to sport your proud cat dad status while still maintaining a professional attire at work.
Organic Cat Grass Growing Kit
A cute houseplant that cats can actually eat, and it’s good for them. This is such a clever gift idea for cat dads who also love to grow houseplants. This gift is extra special because the organic pet grass grows out of a cute cat head mug and provides some nice health benefits for your cat. We’ve been impressed with all the positive reviews and a must for this cat dad gifts list!
Check Meowt Travel Tumbler
Take this aviator rocking cat anywhere in a 20oz travel tumbler with the confidence that says “Check Meowt”. It’s triple-insulated for hot or cold drinks and also comes in 30oz for heavy coffee drinks. We just love the fun Miami stylized cat design with palm trees. The only downsized we’ve noticed is that it’s not dishwasher safe, but most tumblers aren’t.
Cat Daddy AF Fathers Day Tank Top
Everyone has a t-shirt, so let’s bring back the tank top with this badass, sunglass-toting cat that says “Cat Daddy AF”. This shirt shows that cat dads come in all types, and shouldn’t be made fun of. This tank top comes in several different colors and makes a great beach shirt for this cat dad gifts list.
Dark Humor “What” Cat Dad Hoodie
Anyone who has ever owned or seen a cat can relate to this dark humor hoodie. Cats can stare you directly in the eyes while they swat your laptop off your desk with the eyes of “What Are You Going To Do About It?”. So a cat with a murder knife isn’t that far off. Let’s face it, we all know cats are capable of murder. We just appreciate them not murdering us.
The Catfather Shirt
A clever wordplay of The Godfather, this Catfather shirt plays to the interest of cat dads who loved the Italian Mob Drama “The Godfather” and their fur-kids. Considering there are constant talks of The Godfather Spin-offs and Reboots, this is still an iconic series with massive name recognition. Anytime you sport this shirt outdoors, it’s going to be a fun conversation piece.
Cat Dad Gifts PJ Jumpsuit
Nothing says over-the-top cat dad like this crazy meowy cozy ugly Christmas sweater jumpsuit. This is the perfect outfit to take to ugly sweater Christmas parties. It features a super busy pattern of cat faces with Christmas hats from your ankles to the hood in a festive red and white color scheme. This outfit has so much going on, it sets an impressive level of crazy cat dad.
Men’s Space Taco Cat Briefs
Something every Cat Dad never knew they needed, but these cat briefs sporting a taco and pizza will be the next thing every cat dad needs. It’s so over the top that we love this as a fun gag gift. While it’s not something people will see every day, but whenever these briefs make an appearance, they’ll be something to talk about.
Wipe Your Paws Doormat
Make your guests feel welcomed and know your house is a pet-friendly environment with this clever “Wipe Your Paws” doormat. The fun colors and simple design make it a great house welcoming doormat and set the tone for your house. We love this for both cat and dog owners!
Automatic Cat Feeder
Never miss your cat’s next meal with an automatic cat feeder. We think this is such a cool idea for cat dads with a busy life and feel the worst thing in the world is forgetting to feed their furry friend. Simply load the hopper with your favorite dry food and it’ll be able to feed up to 50 portions. It’s set up as a timer, so no need to fumble with wi-fi or apps. It’s super easy and even plays a 10-second pre-recorded message so your cat knows when to eat!
Automatic Cat Laser Toy
We had to include a cat laser toy on this cat dad gifts list and this is one of the best. Set it up on a desk, table, shelf, or wall and this device will activate a randomized laser to play with your cat that’s activated by motion. This is a great cat toy to keep your feline friend constantly entertained!
Cat Crossing Sign
A cute sign for your house, garage, or yard to showcase that cats may be in the area. Watch out! This is both a fun sign to create a cat theme in your house or an informative sign for visitors that cats may run through open doors so be careful. We like this sign for our cat dad friends who constantly find themselves with escaping cats.
Cat Neon Wall Sign
A cute cat neon sign that stands 9″ tall and 7″ wide, this is the perfect background light for zoom calls to showcase your feline aesthetic. This pink, LED neon sign is powered by USB or 3 AAA batteries. While we love the pink sign, it also comes in blue and yellow colors depending on the look you’re going for. Either way, neon signs are just cool for cat dad gifts!
Small Neon Cat Desk Light
If you’re wanting a neon cat light, but as a desk decoration, this is the perfect gift. Similar to our previous neon light, this cat table LED light stands 9″ tall and 6.3″ wide while powered by USB or 3 AA batteries. It’s the perfect gift for cat-loving coworkers, gag gifts, and of course cat dad gifts.
Adorable Cat Glasses Holder
Place your glasses in the same spot every time to never lose them again, and do it with this adorable cat glasses holder. The holder itself is designed as a tiny cat that looks paws-itively adorable wearing your glasses. It comes in two different cat types, and both look amazing for the cat lovers in your life.
Steampunk Cat Flask
If you’re going to drink out of a flask, make that flask have style and nothing has more style than a cat with steampunk glasses. This black & white flask has a rock-star cat vibe that we think cat lovers will go for as a fun gag gift. Either way, it’s extremely cool!
Black Cat Bookends For Book Lovers
These black cat bookends are perfect for book lovers! We love the flat style making them useful on a wide range of bookshelves and the black cat style makes it perfect for a world of theme ideas. These bookends come in a set of 2, and sit 9″ x 7″ x 10.3″.
Cat Roller Track & Teaser Mouse
It’s a silly cat toy to include in our cat dad gifts, but we’ve seen this toy in every cat household we’ve ever been to. The combination of exercise ball track and spring mouse teaser has cats entertained for hours. We consider this the fidget spinner for cats and should be included in every cat household.
Black Cat Cufflinks
A great graduation gift, coworker gift, or cat dad gift, these cufflinks look great symbolized with a silhouette of a cat. We think any cat dad with style should rock these cute black cat cufflinks for black tie events. While you won’t run into many black tie events, you’ll definitely be ready for when they pop up!
Non-Slip Kitten Mouse Pad
A cute circular mousepad is perfect for your laptop bag when you need a mousepad on the go. Rock this adorable kitten working with a laptop and mouse for a mouse. We love the design of this mouse pad for cat dad gifts and think it’s a useful extra mousepad for wherever you go.
Cat Sticky Note Set
These cute cat sticky notes are a fun alternative to traditional sticky notes to spice up your note-taking life. Like a regular sticky note, these fit the feline lifestyles of the cat dads and cat moms in our lives. This 12-pack of sticky notes comes in a variety of colors and each stack holds 60 notes, perfect for cat dad gifts.
Cute Cloth Cat Face Mask
Not creepy at all, this feline face mask will confuse all your friends into thinking you’re a cat. Well probably not, but it’s so weird that it’s funny. A cloth facemask with a filter pocket for easy washing. It just happens to look exactly like a cat’s mouth. We’ll admit, it’s one of our odder cat dad gifts.
Cat Toy Organizer
Any cat dad knows the struggle of having lots of amazing toys for their furry kids, but they’re always a mess around the house. This cute cat toy organizer is 15″ x 13″ to create a designated space for all their cat toys in an adorable cotton rope basket. One of the more appreciated cat dad gifts on this list.
Cat Themed Ceramic Measuring Spoons
A fun, easy gift for the cat lover in your life is these adorable cat-shaped ceramic measuring spoons. In a set of 4, this is a great gift idea for the chefs in your friend group that just also happen to really love cats! We’ll also add that these are dishwasher safe.
Dabbing Cat Shirt
This is a nerd cat dabbing on a shirt. Do we need to say more? We simply love the dancing graphic without any leading text. The shirt comes in several different colors, styled differently for men, women, and youths. It’s a bit of a nerdy gift, but we think it’s one of the best for cat dad gifts!
