Disney Just Gave Cat Owners Every Excuse to Spoil Their Pets on National Pet Day

There is a specific kind of Disney fan who does not simply visit the parks and collect merchandise for themselves. They extend the Disney lifestyle outward into every corner of their lives, including the corners occupied by the pets who share their home and who, through no choice of their own, have become participants in the broader Disney aesthetic their owners have cultivated over years of careful acquisition. Disney has always understood that this audience exists and has been serving it with increasing sophistication, offering pet products that go well beyond the novelty collar or the branded food bowl that once defined the category. The pet merchandise Disney produces now is genuinely thoughtful in a way that reflects real attention to what both pets and their owners actually want from these products, the playful character-forward designs that owners appreciate visually, alongside the functional elements like catnip and jingle sounds, and appropriate sizing that make the products actually work for the animals they are designed for.

National Pet Day falls on April 11, and Disney has marked the occasion with a lineup of cat-specific merchandise that covers every major category a cat owner might shop in, from toys to furniture to carriers to beds to accessories, all built around Disney and franchise characters that the owner will recognize and appreciate even if the cat remains entirely indifferent to the intellectual property involved. If your cat is the Disney fan in the household by association, today is as good a day as any to lean into that relationship with something from the lineup below.

Cat Toys

The toy selection leans heavily into two franchises that translate particularly well into the format.

• Lilo and Stitch Alien Jingle Balls with Catnip — $11.39. A three-pack of jingle balls, each themed to a different Lilo and Stitch alien. The blue ball features Stitch, the pink one shows Angel, and the orange one features Leroy. Each contains catnip and has textural features on top.
• Lilo and Stitch Hula Feather Wand — $11.15. A two-wand set featuring Lilo on one and Stitch on the other, each designed to look like the characters are doing the hula in their grass skirts. The wand format is one of the more reliably engaging toy types for cats, and the character design on these is genuinely charming.
• Nightmare Before Christmas Catnip Crinkle Toys — $9.67. A three-pack of crinkly catnip toys designed as Lock, Shock, and Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Each henchman is rendered as a plush toy with embroidered facial features that hold up to the kind of abuse a motivated cat can dish out.

Cat Trees and Houses

• Penn-Plax Disney Cubical Cat Condo — $99. A multi-layer cat condo with scratching, hiding, and climbing areas built around Mickey Mouse motifs throughout the structure. The condo is several shades of grey with a bright red plush Mickey batting toy included.
• Penn-Plax Disney Cat Cabinet — $85.99. A dark wood cat cabinet with two oversized white door handles designed to resemble the buttons on Mickey’s pants and a Mickey head-shaped cutout on the side as the entry point for cats. The furniture-style design means it doubles as actual home decor in a way most cat furniture does not.

Carriers

• Buckle-Down Cinderella Pumpkin Carriage Carrier — $69.95. A soft-sided cat carrier designed to resemble Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage with mesh windows that make it look like the cat is traveling inside the carriage itself.
• Buckle-Down Buzz Lightyear Spaceship Pet Carrier — $69.95. A soft-sided carrier designed to look like Buzz Lightyear’s spaceship packaging, which is a genuinely clever concept for a cat carrier.
• Buckle-Down Star Wars Death Star Pet Carrier — $69.95. A soft-sided carrier in the likeness of the Death Star from Star Wars, which lands somewhere between intimidating and endearing, depending on the cat inside it.

Beds

• Hunny Pot Cat Bed — $21.84. A three-dimensional Hunny Pot bed that cats can climb inside of. The base of the bed includes a honey-spilling detail that completes the Winnie the Pooh aesthetic.
• Disney Parks Stitch Cave Bed — $108.99. A plush cave bed designed to look like the cat is resting inside Stitch’s open mouth, with a flat inner bed covered in a Stitch and flowers pattern. The most visually striking piece in the lineup.
• Grogu Pet Bed — $19.99. A grey pet pillow with Grogu shown using the Force at the center and the text the Force is strong with this little one in block lettering beneath him.

Accessories

• Finding Nemo Breakaway Cat Collar with Bell — $19.95. A primarily blue breakaway collar with a silver bell featuring the full tank gang from Finding Nemo across the design.
• Aristocats Breakaway Cat Collar with Bell — $19.95. A white breakaway collar with piano keys running along the bottom and Toulouse and Berlioz from The Aristocats dancing on the keys among black music notes. A silver bell is attached.
• Stitch Breakaway Cat Collar with Bell — $19.95. A blue collar with a pink floral pattern and Stitch’s face shown alternating right-side up and upside down around the band with a silver bell attached.

National Pet Day arrives once a year. The Stitch cave bed arrives once in a lifetime if you let it.
