<p>Full disclosure: I never much cared for the feline persuasion until two years ago when my sister sent me a picture of the half-pound ball of fluff who was found in a puddle and ended up in an animal shelter where she worked. Affectionately nicknamed Rocky by the shelter staff (because her two little eyes were swollen shut when they found her a la Mr. Balboa post-Apollo Creed fight), this little gal had to be mine. Rocky became Roxy, and once her high society, cigarette-smoking, french lady voice was developed, she became the cat, the myth, the legend: Roxanne. </p>

<p>Another thing I know for sure: Unlike the dowdy spinsters of yore, todays feline-loving ladiesincluding yours trulyare chic and cool. (I've got the cat doormat, coasters, dish towels, and photos to prove it.) Thats why when the time comes to pick out gifts for the cat lovers you know and love, their presents have to be just as modern and ~hip~ as they are. After all, your lovely cat lady pals are capable of much more than spending every night home alone with their fluffy friends (although, hey, whats wrong with that?), so they deserve a gift worthy of their chic, kitty-loving vibe.</p>

<p>Although <a href="https://subscribe.hearstmags.com/circulation/shared/index.html" id="798f7e6b-3ca2-3918-ae54-7026b29e116a">  gifts </a> for cat ladies can sometimes be weird and tacky, theres a whole litter of super-cute stuff out there that anyone would love, whether or not they have a kitty by their side. Check out these adorable gifts for cat loversand no terrible 1980s cat-motif sweaters included, we promise.</p>

<p>When I got a cat - the reaction was no different. I took a hard look at myself last January - with my cat doormat, coasters, dish towels, photos, and of course my 13 pound big bootied lady Roxanne came to another realization: CAT LADY GANG UNTIL I DIE.</p>

<p>My birthday just passed, but surely theres another cat lover in your life. Heres some excellent gift options (I also accept belated presents btw - no pressure though).</p>
