Easter is a time for celebration — and that includes our beloved pets! While Easter baskets are traditionally associated with children, there's no reason why our feline friends can't join in on the fun.
If you want to treat your cat to something special this Easter, look no further! We've compiled a list of purrfect spring and Easter basket ideas for cats. Let's start building the perfect Easter basket for cats.
Catnip Toys
Catnip toys are a classic favorite among felines. Embrace the Easter season and look for flower, bunny, or egg-shaped catnip toys that will provide hours of entertainment for your kitty.
Easter-themed Cat Toys
Look for Easter-themed toys designed specifically for cats, such as plush bunnies or chick-shaped toys. These adorable toys will add a festive touch to your cat's Easter basket and provide them with endless entertainment.
Healthy Cat Treats
Any cat owner knows that cats go crazy for tasty treats! Stock up on some cat-safe treats for your cat's Easter basket.
Whether you opt for creamy treats or chewy goodies, always consider nutrition and gut health when buying treats for your cat.
- Avoid fillers and artificial ingredients. These additives can upset the delicate balance in your cat’s microbiome and cause vomiting, diarrhea, and other unpleasant digestive issues.
- Introduce new treats slowly. Don’t go overboard and overload your cat’s stomach. Start with small amounts of new treats and foods first to allow their digestive system time to adjust.
Overall, be sure to track how many treats your kitty is eating and adjust meal times accordingly to keep overall caloric intake in mind.
Cat Grass or Catnip Plant
Add a touch of green to your cat's Easter basket with a pot of cat grass or a small catnip plant. Cats love munching on grass, and catnip can provide them with a stimulating and enjoyable experience.
Plus, research shows that catnip can have a positive effect on digestion, in addition to encouraging mental and physical stimulation.
Add Some Edible Fun with Cat-safe Grass or Herb Seeds
If you have a catio or allow your cat to spend time outdoors, Easter is the perfect time to get your yard spring-ready. Fill their basket with seeds for cat-safe grass or herbs like catnip, wheatgrass, or oat grass that you can plant as the weather warms.
Your cat will love munching on the fresh greens, and it’ll give you some peace of mind as they explore the outdoors.
Get Cozy With a Bed or Blanket
Give your cat a cozy spot to curl up in with a new bed or soft blanket. Cats love snuggling up and making biscuits in warm, comfortable spaces.
A new bed or blanket will be appreciated, especially if you have a senior cat or a new cat transitioning to your home. Plus, using a blanket to fill your basket is much safer for pets than Easter grass or other fillers.
Invest in Grooming Supplies
Help your cat look their best as they shed their thick winter fur coat by including grooming supplies in their Easter basket. Brushes, grooming gloves, and nail trimmers can help keep your cat looking and feeling their best.
Regular grooming sessions help keep your cat's coat in top condition and strengthen the bond between you and your feline friend.
Consider Personalized Pet Items
Add a personal touch to your cat's Easter basket with personalized items such as a collar with an Easter-themed charm or a custom ID tag with your cat's name and your contact information. Customized pet portraits are also a fun gift idea for pet owners.
Don’t Forget About Health Supplements
Cat allergies, skin issues, and other health concerns can pop up as seasons change. You can take a proactive approach to your cat’s health by stocking up on gut health supplements like Maya Pet.

Plan a Cat-safe Easter Egg Hunt
