Purr-fect Holiday Hobbies for Cat Lovers
The holiday season is fast approaching, and while it's a time to gather with friends and family, it's also a great opportunity to dive into hobbies that bring joy and relaxation. For cat lovers, or "cat ladies", there's no shortage of ways to combine a love for felines with some delightful pasttimes. Whether you're looking for a creative outlet, an excuse to spend more time with your cat, or simply want to embrace the cozy vibes of the season, these purr-fect holiday hobbies for cat lovers will help you make the most of the festive season.
Reading by the Fire (or next to your cat)
Is there anything better than curling up with a good book and a warm cat by your side? As a lover of books, I tend to go overboard with reading during the holidays. Starting with October, I dive into scary books, shop cookbooks in November and read business books in December to set my intentions for the new year. For many cat lovers, reading is the ideal way to unwind, and the holiday season is perfect for cozying up with a captivating novel. Whether you're into mysteries, romance or non-fiction, your furry companion will love being your reading buddy, purring softly as you turn the pages. Consider picking a cat-themed book if you want to make your holidays extra cat-tastic! Don't forget that we have some great t-shirts for the cat-loving bookworm in your life this Halloween.
Arts, Crafts and DIY Cat Projects
If you enjoy being hands-on, why not take up crafting? Knitting and crocheting are especially popular hobbies during the colder months, and they're perfect for creating cozy scarves, blankets or a knit cap for your kitty! Make your feline friend a bed, some felt mice or even a cat-shaped ornament for your Christmas tree. Handmade projects can also double as thoughtful gifts for fellow cat lovers in your life.
Creating a Cat Friendly Garden
While gardening may seem like a springtime hobby, winter gardening can be equally rewarding. Planting an indoor herb garden with cat friendly plants like catnip, basil or thyme will keep your cat entertained throughout the holiday season. Not only will you enjoy watching your plants grow, but your feline will love sniffing around and nibbling on these safe and tasty greens. Plus, it's a fun way to bring a bit of greenery into your home during the colder months.
Cat Photography - Capture the Cuteness
With the holidays comes festive decor, which creates the perfect backdrop for adorable cat photos. Whether you're an amateur or a budding photographer, capturing your cat in various holiday scenes can be a lot of fun. Get creative with lights, ornaments or seasonal outfits (if your cat allows). You'll be able to create memories, and your social media followers will love the holiday-themed posts. You might even want to turn your best shots into holiday cards to send family and friends. Check out the photo I created of my cat Lulu in a spooky Halloween setting.
Lulu's Halloween Pic Baking for Your and Your Feline Friend
Baking is a beloved holiday activity, and there's no reason why your cat can't join in on the fun. You can whip up homemade cat treats alongside your traditional holiday cookies, using cat-safe ingredients like canned pumpkin, oats or chicken broth. While you enjoy your festive baked goods, your kitty can savor their own special snack. It's a great way to bond during the season of giving, and your cat will love being pampered with a treat made just for them. Don't forget to wear a cat-themed apron that you can get at comfortdiva.com.
Volunteering for Animal Rescues
For many cat lovers, the holiday season is a time to give back. If you're passionate about helping animals, consider volunteering at a local shelter or fostering a cat in need. FYI - I adopted my cat Lulu from a friend who was fostering to adopt through ASPCA. Many animal rescues are especially busy during the winter months, and your time and compassion can make a big difference. Not only will you be helping cats find loving homes, but you'll also meet like-minded people in your community who share your love for felines.
Collecting Cat-Themed Decor and Gifts
If you're someone who loves to celebrate your feline obsession, why not spend the holiday season expanding your collection of cat-themed items? From festive decorations to t-shirts, there's no shortage of stylish and fun pieces to bring a touch of whimsy to your holiday festivities. Many cat ladies enjoy collecting home decor, clothing or accessories that showcase their passion for all things feline. You might even find some new holiday gifts for the cat lovers in your life!
