Cat Themed Christmas Ornaments

One of the reasons we love cats so much is for their sheer aesthetic value. Let's face it, cats are gorgeous creatures. White or black, striped, bi-color or colorpoint, blue eyes, green eyes, orange yes - there is such a huge variety and each and every one is totally adorable.

No wonder cat lovers love having cats on everything. Cat prints on clothes, cat themed home decor items, cat jewelry, you name it. And when Christmas arrives, it only makes sense that you put a cat figurine or two (or ten!) among your Christmas tree decorations. If you're a real cat addict, how about creating a cat themed tree this year? Here are some very pretty Christmas tree ornaments that you can order from Amazon - all featuring cats of course!

I'm going to suggest three basic cat-themed sets that can form a solid base for your themed decoration, as they each contain 8-12 ornaments. If you can afford to, why not mix and match them - but otherwise, just start with one set this year. I then have four cute single items which will be presented further down the page. These can be part of an overall cat theme, or just used to spice up a more traditional tree design.

This set of 12 kittens is a must-have for your cat-themed tree. A gorgeous pack of no fewer than a dozen kitty figurines, carefully designed in six different postures and looks (two items of each design). You have black, grays and whites mixed up in the coat colors, with some bicolors, some solid colored cats and even a touch of tabiness here and there. What brings them all together as a set, is the fact that each kitten wears fluffy santa hat and each one holds, or holds to, a red glass ball.

A purrfect set that can really unify your tree design, and I highly suggest this one as the basis for your tree decor plan.

Another gorgeous set, this one of eight kittens (two of each kind), that offers you eight young felines frolicking around with Christmas items. These naughty kitties get themselves involved in an assortment of objects, all in green, red and gold, adding a festive touch to your tree.

This set can be a good base set in its own right, or as an addition to the set mentioned above.

Another wonderful option for your base set is this pack of a dozen glass glitterdome ornarment. Each dome contains a resin sculpture of two or three cats, huddled together in their little transparent bubble. The set includes four designs, with three units of each.

This set offers a more traditional Christmas decor style, with the round ball shaped snow-covered domes and the bright red bases, and I think makes a good choice if you're looking for a more standard look to the tree, where the feline images provide the intricate internal detail, rather than the actual shape of the ornament.

Whether alongside a basic set of cat ornaments, or just to spice up your traditional tree decor with some feline elements, these items are all beautifully made and are sure to draw the attention of fellow cat admirers. Some of these are not cheap, but if you plan to keep with a cat theme for years to come, they make for a good investment.

Designer Jim Shore is well known for his beautifully detailed sculptures and figurines. With cats being one of this favorite themes all around, it's only natural that he would come up with this uniqely original cat ornament. This ornament features a ginger tabby, complete with a santa hat and adorned not only with christmas decorations but also with beautiful drawings all over its body.

At this price, I really think this collectible cat is a bargain and you definitely should add it to your Amazon Christmas shopping. Being a collectible, it also makes a great gift for a fellow cat lover. You won't find a whole lot of information in the amazon page for this product, so I checked the artist's site for you, and this piece of crafted from stone resin. Oh, and in case you're wondering, it's much cheaper to get it on Amazon.

This one really captured my heart.

Such a beautifully sculpted kitty, caught in a moment of a classical interaction with a lively goldfish. I love the colors, love the motion, and above all, the priceless look in the eyes of both cat and fish. No specific Christmas elements here, just a pretty ornament that cat lovers are bound to enjoy.

At under $2, I think this one has to be the best bargain in this hub. It's a sweet detailed smiling cat, complete with a collar and bell and sitting on its own regal satin pillow.

It's easy to explain why this one is a winner - it has this sweet looking face, is nice to touch and costs so little - a purrrfect addition to your tree decor. Oh, and there's a matching doggie (linked from the amazon page there).

Cat lovers always enjoy a whimsical cat saying, so why not put this one up on your tree? Carved into a golden plaque it reads:

Thousand of years ago cat were considered gods. They haven't forgotten.

Ok, so not the most original quote, but hey, it's witty because it seems to true. With a beautifully carved cat in resin, and an overall glitzy look, down to the gold cord, it makes a nice and funny addition to any tree.

Last, but not least, especially not in monetary terms, is this beautiful cat glass ornament. This genuine mouth blown kitty by Reed & Barton is an upscale Christmas tree ornament that can make a great gift for a very special cat lover. Take good care of it and it will become a family heirloom, decorating trees for generations to come. If you want to make that investment, of course.
