Mother’s Day Gifts for Cat Mums and Dog Mums - Because Their Fur Baby Counts
- by Natalie Wood
There’s nothing like the feeling of your fur baby greeting you when you walk through the door with a wagging tail or a throaty purr. Fur babies love us unconditionally; they’re there with us on our best and our worst days to make us smile, laugh or to comfort us when we’re sad. That’s why we’re so obsessed with our fur babies and that’s why we count on Mother’s Day too, whether we have human children or not!
Mother’s Day in the UK falls on Sunday 7th March 2027, so make sure you’re prepared with our handy Dog and Cat Mum Mother’s Day gift guide!
What to Get a Cat Mum for Mother’s Day?
What makes a Cat Mum gift a roaring success, rather than a predictable flop? Our advice would be to commit to the theme wholeheartedly and without judgement, cat worshippers know that they’re crazy cat ladies, lean into it! Go for a gift that’s relatable, funny and personal enough to make her feel seen. Also, to make it extra special, include an inside joke that relates to her cat specifically; does he push food off the table, or does she judge you at every opportunity? We have the perfect collection of cat lover gifts for you!
The Signs You’re Buying for a True Cat Mum
- Everything she owns is covered in cat hair… even before it’s entered the house and even though she owns more lint rollers than B&M
- She talks to the cats in full sentences (and fills in both sides of the conversation)
- She’s late to every event because ‘the cat looked so cute and comfy on her lap that she couldn’t possibly move her’
- She has more than one cat… obviously
- Her house more closely resembles a soft play than a living room because one cat tree couldn’t possibly be enough!

What to Get a Dog Mum for Mother’s Day
I’m not sure anybody is more obsessed with their pets than a dog Mum (although the cat Mums may disagree)! Whether she’s full-time blanket butler to a Vizsla, a constant snack vending machine for a Labrador or an endless tag-along to a crazy Spaniel, her dog is her life and she’ll never tire of dog-themed gifts. However, stay away from generic and go for a dog-obsessed present she’ll relate to, bonus points if it makes her laugh, extra bonus points if she immediately shows it to her dog when she opens it and says ‘ha, look, it’s you!’. Browse our full range of funny gifts for dog Mum’s here.
Is She a Dog Mum or a Cat Mum? Here’s How to Tell
3 Signs She’s a Cat Mum:
1. She eats and drinks everything with a side of cat hair
2. All her clothes are clicked but it’s a ‘sign of love’
3. She calls surprise creatures in her house ‘presents’
3 Signs She’s a Dog Mum:
1. Every outfit will have muddy pawprints or dog hair or poo bags in the pocket (or all three)
2. Her response to every lunch invitation will be ‘is it dog friendly?’
3. A stranger will find it impossible to tell if a story is about her husband or her dog when eavesdropping
3 Signs She’s Both:
1. It’s impossible to walk anywhere without her stopping to stroke at least one dog and/or cat
2. Her pet food bill is higher than her human food bill
3. It’s difficult to get her out the house at all, she’d rather be at home with her fur babies!
Gift Ideas for Dog Mums on Mother’s Day

2. I Prefer Dogs to People – Women’s Bamboo Socks
Does this one really need an explanation? Dogs don’t judge, they love unconditionally and are always happy to see you! Sassy dog socks are the best.

4. Less People, More Dogs Soy Candle

5. Dog Mum Dictionary Wall Sign
A must-have for any dog Mum! A brilliant dog-themed home decoration for any kitchen, boot room or even bedroom for the truly dog-obsessed!
What if she has Both? (The Dog and Cat Household)
You absolutely can’t play favourites in a multi-pet household! So why not buy one from each camp? A gift for the dog-obsessed and one for the cat-worshipper in her! It’s also a good idea to lead with sass and humour that’s hilariously relatable, and finish with something sweet that shows how much you also love her fur babies. Then you’ll be her best friend forever because a pet Mum and her animals come as a package deal!
