This cat mug is quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Normally cat mugs just have a photo of a cat on them, which is all fine and dandy, but this goes one step further. It utilizes the handle to make the shape of the cats tail which is surely a unique feature that you won’t see on most ceramic items in the kitchen.

This mug is handmade, so it’s not microwave safe, but it will be okay in the dishwasher. As a custom gift, I don’t think cat mugs get any better than this.

​Things We Like

  • Comes with a free coaster
  • Original design that is unique
  • Great usable mug size and volume

What do look for in the best cat mugs?

Size

Some cat mugs that are shaped like cats are cool when you see them on the shelf, but they can be downright impractical. Coffee mugs that at over 12ounces should never be more bowl shape than they are cup. If you get a cup that’s too big, you run the risk of your cat mug being a gift that people won’t actually use, but will appreciate the thought of. 

Shape

It’s a mug after all and just because it’s a cat mug doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a shape that’s good for drinking coffee and tea. The mugs that are oblong and shaped like an actual cat’s body might be cool to look at, but they are really impractical.

The best cat mug for the fancy cat lover 

You know the type. They probably have designer place settings in their house and wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair of shoes that haven’t appeared in a magazine. It’s okay. I enjoy the fancy life as well. This is a great cat mug for that individual

This simple bug comes in 4 different colors and has a really nice ceramic lid that allows you to take it on the go. I hate putting hot coffee in a cup without a lid. That’s just asking for a spill in the car. To top it off, it has the most adorable spoon with a catspaw that makes it look like a tiny cat fell inside of the cup and is reaching out.

All cat owners know the familiar reaching paw of their cat pawing under a door or into something they probably shouldn’t have gotten into.

​Things We Like

  • Comes with a spoon
  • Has a great lid
  • Offered in multiple colors

I know I said that too big of a mug is almost a bad thing and I would agree that this mug is ALMOST borderline too big for most coffee, but I included it for a simple reason. It’s the perfect latte mug. The large surface area makes it a great cat mug for those who know how to make lattes or those who have a barista that is willing to make a latter in the cup they bring along. You know… so we can save the earth from more paper waste.

The simple design lets everyone know that not only is this person a cat lover, but they are drinking out a cat mug that’s shaped exactly like a cute little cat.

​Things We Like

  • Large size
  • Works great for lattes
  • Very durable

If this mug doesn’t get a laugh out of you, then I don’t know what will. It has a little 3d ceramic cat on the side that’s looking over at goldfish that are printed on the inside of the mug. When you fill it up with your beverage of choice, it just looks like your cat is doing their typical nosy thing and watching you drink.

The best part is that the tail serves as the handle and you can see the little cat eyes peeking above the rim as you go to sip.

This is a great cat mug that is fancy, but also very minimalist in its design. It comes in over 7 colors and they all are pastel with gold on the handle, nose, and ears of the cat design. To make things even much better, on the inside of the mug are the words “PURRRFECT”. I’m all for a punny, especially when it’s inside of the mug and really only meant to be seen by the person drinking out of this mug.

​Things We Like

  • Text on the bottom of the mug
  • Gold design and accents
  • Large size for different types of drinks
