6. Kitty Kaviar Online
It's not exactly caviar per se, but apparently cats love it as much as we love our gourmet fish roe. According to the website, it's high-protein bonito flakes containing no additives, preservatives or by-products. Kitty Kaviar is great sprinkled on top of food to entice picky eaters or offered as a treat when kitty's been good or needs some extra lovin'. Just don't try to sprinkle it on your food...we all know how overplayed that trend is.
5. Happy Cat Catnip Plant from Dunecraft Online
This gift could also be a present for kids or yourself if you like to garden. Duncraft, an educational toy company, sells a number of different grow-your-own-catnip plants with everything but water and sunlight. Though catnip isn't really a food, felines love to chew on the fresh leaves, releasing the oil that makes them go a little batty. Once the plant has grown, you can dry it and stuff it in toys for even more fun.
4. Gingerbread Dog House Online

Enticing smells of gingerbread and icing not included.
