Gifts for the Person Who Just Adopted a Cat and Is Already Completely Wrapped Around Its Paw

Adopting a cat is a particular kind of decision — usually made after seeing a specific face at a shelter or in a photo and knowing immediately that this was the one, this particular animal, this name already forming. The first week involves discovering that the cat has opinions about where it sleeps, what food it prefers, and which hours of the night are appropriate for activity. It also involves a level of attachment that the new owner was not fully prepared for, because cats are supposed to be independent and low-maintenance and instead there is a creature who chirps at them when they come home and follows them from room to room and sits on their laptop in a way that is technically inconvenient but also, they have to admit, very good. The gift for them is something that helps them take excellent care of the new cat, or something that acknowledges the small, permanent way their life just changed.
