Cat Ornaments

I have just gotten two little black kittens that are so much fun to watch play. They pounce and wrestle with each other and then they look up at me with those innocent eyes, looking to be petted or for their kibble bowl to be replenished. Who could resist such cuteness?

If you have a cat, or even if you don't, you'll be sure to love these cat Christmas tree ornaments that I have gathered here for you. Truth is, I've gathered them here for myself, as well, because this may be the year for adding some new kitty ornaments to my own Christmas tree.

These ornaments are ideal gifts for someone you know who likes cats. There are several varieties here. Some are hand cast, hand painted resin. Others are made of glass or metal or . . . . But, wait a minute, let me show you what I'm talking about.

These kitty ornaments are just adorable!

Kitties in tea cups would be perfect for my tea drinking sisters who love cats. You could get a set and share them among siblings or friends, or you could keep them together in a kitty theme. We all know cats are even better when there are more than one. These kitties could get up to all kinds of antics!

The black cat in a box is a little cat lover's dream come true. My granddaughter, who would love a cat all her own, plays an imagination game of pretending to be a cat in a box that her parents open up on Christmas morning. Do you think she is giving them a hint? This ornament measures 2" x 2" x 2.5" and can be hung on the Christmas tree or placed on a shelf to admire. Comes in a tabby ginger, too.

Children's literature gives us some memorable cat characters. These ornaments feature cats from Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

The Cheshire Cat is a favorite for many who like the Alice stories. That mysterious cat who dissolves into a lingering smile appeals to many people for a variety of reasons. This cat ornament from Old World Christmas will become a favorite when decorating the tree in years to come.

The set of Dr. Seuss ornaments features characters straight out of The Cat in the Hat. You'll find the Cat himself, along with his trusty hat, plus four pairs of Thing 1 and Thing 2.

The Cat in the Hat was first written as an innovative way to teach young children how to read and has since become a classic. Children today still love the book's zany rhymes and characters. 

Teachers will find many uses for these figurines. They would make a cute addition to a classroom tree, but they could be used in a variety of other ways in the classroom, too.

I love these Jim Shore Heartwood Creek Ornaments! They are whimsical, well constructed cats that would appeal to people with diverse tastes. While looking at them, I have a hard time choosing which one I like the best. It's tempting to get several! In fact, there are several more styles on the Amazon site that I wanted to add as well. It's too hard to choose!

Jim Shore Heartwood Creek items are known for their high quality craftsmanship and design. These ornaments are especially well made and will be treasured from year to year.

They are sure to become a collector's item.

Do you know someone who has lost a beloved pet this year? These bereavement memorial ornaments will comfort your friend experiencing the loss of a cat.

I have added two styles here, each of which can be personalized with the addition of a photo of the cat that has passed away.

Your friend will appreciate your acknowledgement of their grief. After all, a pet becomes part of the family and those who lose a pet feel the loss acutely. 

Thanks for browsing my collection of Cat Christmas tree ornaments. I hope you've enjoyed looking at these ornaments and maybe have even found the perfect gift for yourself or for someone you know.

In many families, adding a new ornament to the Christmas tree each year becomes a tradition. That way you can remember the events of years past each time you trim the tree. Children especially appreciate this linking together of their growing up years.
