If we know anything about cats — and cat people — it's that they're very particular. It can be difficult to find the purr-fect Christmas gift for the cat person in your life, but luckily we've gathered a collection of cute ornaments that will please even the most finicky of friends. (Maybe the cat person in your life happens to be you, and if that's the case, you can tell yourself that your adorable new ornament is actually a gift for your cat, thank you very much.) From funny, to elegant, to cute, to straight-up weird, this list has an ornament that will suit just about anybody with a fondness for felines. Your cats will love seeing tiny versions of themselves hanging out next to the nutcracker, and if they don't, rest assured you'll find out when you come downstairs on Christmas morning to a toppled tree. (We know you won't stay mad for very long — they're just too cute.)
Calico Kitty Cat Christmas Ornament
The Calico Kitty Christmas Ornament ($16 and up) is just as cute and unique as your cat; for an additional fee it can be customized with your kitty's name and an important date. If the lovely calico here isn't calling your name, this vendor offers dozens of these ornaments in many different breeds.
Yoga Cat Christmas Ornament
A Yoga Cat Christmas Ornament ($16) from Urban Outfitters makes a great surprise for the cat-loving yogi in your life. Watch out, though — you can't choose which kitty you'll be sent, so if you're trying to match a cat you know IRL, this might not be the safest bet.
Sphynx Cat Christmas Ornament
We're fans of the Sphynx Cat Christmas Ornament ($15) because it's classic enough to fit in on the most elegant of Christmas trees, but the Sphynx's coy over-the-shoulder glance gives this ornament a lot of attitude.
Black Cat in Window Holiday Ornament
One of the best parts of living with a cat is watching (and wincing at) its adorable, hilarious, and often destructive antics. Celebrate your cat's wacky personality on your tree this year with the Black Cat in Window Holiday Ornament ($7) and be thankful that your own cat isn't currently stuck in a set of blinds.
White Crocheted Kitty Butt Ornament
Spending a considerable amount of time around a cat will inevitably lead you to realize that cat butts are sort of . . . out there. In your face. Pretty much always. Embrace the reality of living with cats with a White Crocheted Kitty Butt Ornament ($14 and up) — and if your cat's butt doesn't resemble this one, you can request a closer match from the vendor.
Clay Cat Ornament
If you're looking for a gift that's heartfelt and one-of-a-kind, one of these Clay at Ornaments ($15) won't disappoint. Each one is handmade, and the vendor offers to recreate the kitty of your dreams if you don't see it in the shop already.
Siamese Cat Glass Ornament
How pretty are this kitty's baby blues? Add a little extra glitter to your tree with this Siamese Cat Glass Ornament ($13).
