Black Friday is coming and it's going to be crazy again. Webshops are filling up with discounts, shopping carts are overflowing, and everyone is hunting for perfect bargains. Most likely, you already have something in mind or your wish list is ready to be checked off as soon as the clock strikes midnight. But amidst all that shopping for yourself... have you thought about your cat? Whether it's a brand new cat tree or just a stack of boxes for your cat to crawl into. Your cat should also enjoy this Black Friday.
Where does Black Friday actually come from and how can you use it to score something nice for your cat?
Where does Black Friday come from?
Black Friday originated in the United States, the day after Thanksgiving. Stores wanted to kick off the ‘Christmas shopping season’ with big discounts, and it turned into a worldwide tradition. The name Black Friday refers to the moment when stores went “out of the red” (loss) and “into the black” (profit). Nowadays, all stores participate, from electronics to pet stores.
What can you get for your cat on Black Friday?
For cats, Black Friday means only one thing: new boxes. Okay, and maybe an extra soft bed, a tall scratching post, or a catnip toy. But behind all the fun extras lies something important: Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in quality.
- Think of a sturdy cat tree that lasts for years, instead of a wobbly model that breaks after a month.
- Or a wall unit where your cat can safely climb and lounge. Perfect for curious cats who like to watch everything from above.
- And what about a cat house where he can retreat for his naps or just relax undisturbed?
3 tips for cat parents
- Compare wisely
A low price is not always a good deal. Pay attention to the quality of the materials, the stability, and the reviews. Especially with Cat trees or larger furniture. - Shop for the long term
A quality cat tree is an investment that pays for itself. Less chance of damage, more fun for your cat, and more peace for you. - Think about comfort and style
Black Friday is the perfect time to make your interior and your cat happy. Choose colors and designs that match your home so you don't have to hide anything when guests come.
The best thing about Black Friday: gifts for yourself and your cat
We've all been there: you order something for your cat, and they mostly play with the packaging. But when you give them something they'll truly love—a new climbing frame, a cozy sleeping spot, or a sturdy scratching mat—you'll see the difference immediately. They'll be more active, happier, and your furniture will finally stay scratch-free. That's a win-win.
Your cat also deserves a good deal
Whether you're a fanatic shopper or prefer to relax and browse with a cup of tea in your other hand, Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in your cat's happiness. Choose consciously, buy smart, and enjoy your new purchases. In other words: Black Friday isn't about more stuff, it's about better stuff.
