October 29 is National Cat Day, and it's a good excuse to shop for the cat person in your life. The best cat gift isn't a toy for the cat. It's a plush that looks like the cat they already love. Here are our favorites, sorted by coat color and by style, all with free shipping.
Find one that looks like their cat
Start with the coat. Most cats fall into a handful of colors, and a close match makes the gift feel personal.
- Orange tabby: Miyoni Orange Tabby Cat or Hally the Orange Striped Cat
- Gray tabby: Miyoni Grey Tabby Cat or Zigby the Gray Stripe Cat
- Solid gray: Scatter the Gray Cat
- Calico: Maps the Calico Cat or Palm Pals Peebs

- Fluffy longhair: Flopsie Bella the Himalayan or Miyoni Tots Angora Kitten

Tips for picking a cat plush
- Look at a photo of their cat first. Check the coat color, the stripes and the eye color, then match the closest one.
- Pick the size by who it's for. Small cats suit a desk or a stocking, and big ones suit a bed or a reading chair.
- For a cat that has passed away, a close look-alike can be a real comfort. Our guide to memorial gifts for pet loss walks through choosing one.
