The Best Cat Stockings
It's nice to have the whole family participate in festivities, and that includes our cats. Stockings are a fun way to celebrate with your cat, and you can fill it with all of their favorite goodies. Or, if you wish, use the stocking for yourself, because why not? Either way, you'd be surprised by how many cat stockings are out there. Luckily, we've taken a gander so that you don't have to sift through pages of products. Take a look.

For example, WEWILL’s cat stocking offers a soft yet strong material that holds a lot and looks good while doing so. If you want something all-inclusive, consider Yeghujar’s stocking, which comes pre-packed with all sorts of toys your cat will love. Read on to learn more about our favorite picks. We’re sure you’ll find a stocking that meets your needs.
WEWILL Felt Cat Stocking
Pretty and plush
WEWILL’s felt cat stocking is so cute that you may want to use it for yourself. It features a wide opening so that you can easily slide in as many gifts and treats as you need. And if you’re concerned that your gifts will way this stocking down, don’t worry. Its loop is made of durable rope that should hang well anywhere. But we don’t buy stockings for practicality—looks are just as important. The stocking is embroidered with a fluffy cat smiling in a state of perpetual joy. What’s not to love?
Pros:
- For a mass-produced item, we were impressed by the stocking’s overall quality, especially the stitching.
- The stocking is both soft and durable thanks to its use of thick cotton. We think this stocking will last you for many celebrations to come.
Cons:
- While the pictures make the stocking appear red and white, it’s really more of a red and beige color.
Wendsim Cat Stocking
Pretty in plaid
Wendsim’s cat stocking looks like something you’d see in a home magazine. We can picture this stocking hanging over a mantle above a roaring fire. All you need is a cup of hot cocoa. Its mixture of burlap and cotton pairs well with the plaid patterns. It’s the perfect blend of vintage and farmhouse. And let’s not forget the black silhouette stitched on the front. Plus, do you see the gold bell on the collar? It jingles all the way—sorry, we couldn’t resist.
Pros:
- We love the rustic look of this stocking. It gives off log cabin vibes.
- There’s plenty of room for cat toys and treats, or feel free to use it for yourself.
Cons:
- We wish the inside of the stocking had a lining, but we don’t think it’s a dealbreaker.
Yeghujar Cat Stocking With Toys
Stocked and stuffed
With twelve toys and its one-and-done design, Yeghujar has created the ideal disposable stocking. The stocking itself isn’t much to look at, but the diverse selection of toys is hard to beat, especially at this price. You get a cat teaser, crinkle toys, and various balls; all made for cats. If you want to keep it simple, Yeghujar’s stocking is definitely worth considering.
Pros:
- We were pleased to learn that the toys can handle rough play from more rambunctious kitties.
- Most cats will love the variety these toys offer.
Cons:
- This definitely won’t win awards in the looks department, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
Skylety Cat Stockings
Two for one
This pair of cat stockings are so cute with their fish-shaped design your cat may want to take a bite. And since it’s made of burlap, these stockings could handle it. We love the lumberjack red and black plaid that lines the outside, and the paw pendant is the icing on the cake. While the stockings look small, they actually fit a generous amount of gifts and treats. Overall, these stockings look good wherever you put them.
Pros:
- We were pleasantly surprised by the high quality of these stockings; you wouldn’t think that would be the case at this price point.
- They look small in the picture, but they’re just as large as regularly shaped stockings.
Cons:
- They come vacuum sealed, so you’ll have to give them a good iron.
David Rocco LED Cat Stocking
Merry and bright
With its brilliant and colorful LED display, David Rocco’s stocking is sure to light up your home. It’s made of durable polyester, so it should last you a while. We especially love the “Meow” stitched on the front and the 3D cat posing with a red scarf. Plus, the LEDs emit a warmer glow, unlike the typical cold look they’re known to give.
Pros:
- The lights on these stockings are an absolute knockout on the mantle. You may want to buy more than one.
- They’re smaller, so they shouldn’t take up too much room.
Cons:
- Since they’re smaller, they don’t hold as many gifts as standard stockings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I put in my cat’s stocking?
While we definitely think you should go with your cat’s favorite treats and toys, consider shaking it up a bit. Pick a toy or two that they’ve never played with, or try a different flavored treat.
Where do I hang my stockings if I don’t have a mantle?
Mantles aren’t as common as they used to be, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t hang your stocking. Consider your stairs if you have an open staircase. Bookshelves are also a great alternative. You can even hang stockings from your bedpost.
