22 Gifts for Cat Lovers to Celebrate National Cat Day + Beyond

There are two types of people in this world: dog lovers and cat lovers. And you’re proudly part of the latter group. Whether you had an adorable kitten as a kid that sealed the deal or you have some serious aspirations to be a cool cat lady someday, these products will help you live your life in fabulous, cat-loving style. Plus, dreary days and off-kilter mornings are automatically improved when you can throw on a cat tee and head out the door.

1. Ask Me About My Cat Tee ($26): Send out a stylish signal to fellow cat lovers with this relaxed heather grey tee. Layer it under a blazer or tuck it into a feminine skirt for a twist, or pull on some jeans and a pair of Converse for a classic, casual vibe.

2. Cat Lady Card ($5): Console a friend after a breakup with this tongue-in-cheek card, or celebrate a friend’s upgrade to owning instead of renting by poking a little fun.

3. Space Cat iPhone Case ($40): Cats and space: It doesn’t get much better. Show your love for both with this super cute, blue-lined iPhone case.

4. Pet Cube ($200): Never wonder again what your cat is up to. The Pet Cube allows you to interact with your pet as well as check in on what they’re up to all day from your phone. Now playing with your pet doesn’t have to stop just because you have to leave.

5. Cat Beverage Cooler ($10): If you’ve got an event that calls for keeping beverages cool — tailgating anyone? ;) — this cat beverage cooler is a no-brainer for cat connoisseurs.

6. Cat Eye Makeup Kit ($35): Here’s a more subtle nod to the greatness of cats. This kit contains everything you need to nail that elusive perfect stroke for eye makeup that is the cat’s meow.

7. Cat Hair Shirt ($38): Hilarious and — frankly — true. It’s perfect for tossing on under a cute cardigan for brunch with your gal pals.

8. Cat Love Pendant ($44): This cat charm necklace is, well… charming! Layer it on with a few other gold necklaces and let this little guy subtly steal the show.

9. Meow Print ($17): Hang this next to your closet or near the place you get pretty every morning for a designerly reminder of how fab you are. Or take it in another direction and glam up your cat’s nook with this adorable print.

11. Cat Eye Sunglasses ($10): Shield your pretty eyes in style with the universal choice of eye-wear for cat ladies everywhere: cat-eye sunglasses.

12. Cat Tat ($5): If you’re thinking about taking the plunge and going for the real thing (cat tats FTW!), give it a test drive with this temporary cat tat.

13. I Like Cats Tee ($24): This piece is a natural-born conversation starter. Next thing you know, cuties will be coming out of the woodwork to talk shop (and by “shop,” we mean cats) with you.

14. Customizable Pet Pillow ($58): Maybe you’re a cat lover but aren’t quite ready for the commitment that comes with being a pet owner. If so, this pillow is the next best thing. If you’ve got a furry critter of your own, there’s hardly a better way to honor their awesomeness than casting a pillow in your furry friend’s likeness.

15. Cat Stamp Set ($14): Put some cat stamps everywhere! Decorate letters, envelopes, rent checks, notebooks, regular books… the list goes on and on.

16. Gift Bag ($5): If you’re gifting anything to a cat lover, there really isn’t a better package to deliver it in. We suggest filling it with some of the other cat goodies on this list.

17. iPad Mini Cat Cover ($40): Keep your iPad mini safe and stylish with this cat cover. It’s the equivalent of shouting your love for furry felines (and for classic prints) from the top of the mountains.

18. You Have Cat to Be Kitten Me Card ($5): You’re married? You’re turning 30 and don’t look a day over 22? You adopted a pet? You got that hard-earned promotion? There isn’t an occasion we can think of that this punny card wouldn’t be perfect for.

19. “Kitten” Nail Polish ($18): Here’s another subtle and chic way to channel cats in a stealthy way. When you glance down at your nails typing away during a long day of work, you’ll absolutely smile to yourself when you remember that the name of this nail polish is “Kitten.”

20. Purrito Tee ($24): This play-on-words tee is so good, it borders on genius. We suggest wearing it on a day you might be planning to eat Chipotle for lunch. You might end up with a free burrito (or should we say purrito?) for this level of awesomeness.

21. Cat Shot Glasses ($20): Hosting a get together for fellow cat lovers? This set of four shot glasses are the purr-fect accessory, especially if they’re filled with sips of Top Cat Cocktail.

22. Cat Stencil Tote Bag Kit ($25): When off-the-rack cat glam just won’t do, style it up yourself with this stencil kit. It includes everything you need (even the tote!) to create a DIY cat bag.

Which of these cat-tastic items are speaking to your soul? Spill in the comments below!

The rise of pet influencers is quite possibly one of the greatest things to come out of social media, at least IMO. I mean, who doesn’t want to see cute animals everyday?

With the freedom for connection provided by apps like TikTok and Instagram, pet owners have a totally new forum to share the lives of their favorite critters. This niche has exploded, unveiling a world of influencing focused around the lives of these pets, and TBH we’re not mad about it.

Thus, in honor of National Pet Day we *had* to honor our furry friends (and virtual furry friends) by sharing some of our fave pet-fluencers across social media.

In case you missed it, a new rom-com following a pair that bears a great resemblance to the internet's favorite “It” couple is coming to Lifetime for the holidays! Although the film isn’t technically inspired by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story per se, the story line is quite uncanny to their high profile romance (but more on that later). From the release date to the plot, here's everything we know about Lifetime’s Christmas in the Spotlight. Read up on Hallmark's Holiday Touchdown — and the Kelce who joined the cast!

  • Lifetime's Christmas in the Spotlight is a new holiday movie premiering this November.
  • The movie follows a popstar who starts dating a pro football player after they meet at one of her concerts.
  • The film stars Jessica Lord, Laith Wallschleger, Jeannie Mai, and Haley Kalil.

What is Christmas in the Spotlight about?

Lifetime/A&E

Christmas in the Spotlight Plot

Set to be a part of the network's “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” lineup, which officially starts November 16, Christmas in the Spotlight follows a famous pop star named Bowyn (Jessica Lord), who always sings about falling in love, but has yet to find The One. Right when she's given up on finding Prince Charming, sparks fly when she meets a handsome professional football player named Drew (Laith Wallschleger) after one of her shows. However, they don’t start dating until after Drew publicly declares his feelings for Bowyn. Sound familiar?

The movie synopsis continues, “With each passing day they spend together, their feelings grow stronger…but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules? With people questioning if their feelings for each other are real or just for show, the pressure mounts from the press, paparazzi, their fans and even their family.” I need this on my screen now!!!

Is there a trailer for Christmas in the Spotlight?

Well, no. (At least, not yet). But there is a preview teaser for Lifetime’s “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” lineup, which features numerous clips from the upcoming Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce-esque holiday film Christmas in the Spotlight. In the first few seconds of the teaser, co-stars Jessica Lord and Laith Wallschleger can be seen gleefully walking side by side while surrounded by holiday decor. Meanwhile, another clip shows Lord’s Bowyn wearing a blue football jersey. Now, if that’s not TayVis-coded, then I don’t know what is.

When is Christmas in the Spotlight coming out?

Christmas in the Spotlight Release Date

Be sure to mark your calendars because Christmas in the Spotlight is scheduled to debut on Lifetime November 23, 2024, at 8 PM ET/PT. Let the countdown begin!

Where can I watch Christmas in the Spotlight?

Lifetime/A&E

If you can’t catch the premiere on Lifetime, then don’t worry because we have you covered! After the movie premieres on the Lifetime channel, Christmas in the Spotlight will be available to watch on TVE/VOD in addition to the Lifetime Movie Club.

Who’s in the cast of Christmas in the Spotlight?

Lifetime/A&E

Christmas in the Spotlight Cast

Aside from Lord and Wallschleger, Christmas in the Spotlight stars former The Real talk show host Jeannie Mai, who will portray Bowyn’s manager. But she won’t be the only familiar face in the ensemble cast. And if you’re constantly on TikTok, then you may recognize TikTok influencer Haley Kalil, who, according to People, is set to make her onscreen debut as Drew’s sister-in-law, Nicole.

It's been a minute since we last saw our Southern Charm faves on screen, but they're finally back for season 10! From the Taylor-Shep-Olivia-Austen of it all to the gradual shift of Craig away from...everyone, a lot's happened since last year. And as if keeping up with all that wasn't enough, the trailer just dropped, and I have plenty of thoughts. So here's everything you should know from what to expect for season 10, who's returning, and when you can watch Southern Charm! Let's get into it!

Watch The 'Southern Charm' Trailer Here!

www.youtube.com

- YouTube
Here's every thought I had throughout the Southern Charm season 10 trailer!
  • The whole trailer starts off with Craig saying, “You can either accept the life that I live now, or not." That DEFINITELY sets the tone for the rest of this first look — and seemingly the rest of season 10.
  • Despite whatever drama may come, it's clear that Shep's inner child is alive and well. That "olly olly oxen free" and cannonball moment is soooo extremely him.
  • We're getting a group Bahamas trip! You know that can only mean one thing: DRAMA. Nothing changes the dynamic like being outside of Charleston!
  • There's a new girl in the group, named Molly! Apparently she "used to sext Craig," but she's " not trying to steal him from Paige or anything." Okay, sure Jan...
  • Taylor has a new boyfriend. Color me unsurprised!

Bravo

  • Excuse me, but Venita & JT?!?! IDK how to feel...
  • After Craig tells Patricia that JT called her a b--ch, Madison says, “He will be the b--ch when I’m done with him.” I mean, you really just don't go after Patricia — everyone knows that!
  • Every time Craig and Austen talk, it's clear they're exasperated with one another. Craig said, “Our friendship will never look like it used to." As much as I'm happy to see Craig setting clear boundaries with his friends, I'd definitely hate to see this bromance die. (Even though IDK if I'll ever forgive Austen for the Ciara of it all...)
  • And in another unsurprising update: Shep has a new girlfriend — and she's the former Miss Bahamas! According to Madison, she's a Southern Charm fan, so it seems like some people think she's just using him as pawn to get on the show. All I know is we eventually see Shep walking away dejected and saying, “I shouldn’t have done this.” YIKES.
  • And as predictable as the rain, of course there's drama with Shep, Taylor, and another woman — Salley. According to Salley, she and Shep slept together, and Taylor doesn't seem to take this well. She said, "I dated Shep for two years. Y'all just f----d!"
It's clear this southern faves have no shortage of drama to pull from yet again...

Who's returning for 'Southern Charm' season 10?

Bravo

Our charmers Venita Aspen, Leva Bonaparte, Craig Conover, Taylor Ann Green, Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy, Rodrigo Reyes, Shep Rose, and Jarrett “JT” Thomas are all set to return for season 10! Patricia Altschul and her son Whitney Sudler-Smith will also appear throughout the season — because it wouldn't be Southern Charm without this duo, TBH!

One face we're sad to see gone is Olivia Flowers. In regards to leaving the show, she told Scheana Shay on Scheananigans, "It wasn't my choice." Apparently producers told her the decision came because she seemed estranged from the Charleston scene, often traveling, spending time in Texas, and connecting with her new boyfriend. And while that may have bothered her at the time, it's clear that Olivia doesn't have time to worry about all that given her recent engagement to Alex Williams.

Are there any new cast members for 'Southern Charm' season 10?

This season, we're getting a few newcomers to Charleston! Salley Carson is "a bubbly party girl by night and a robotics technician for surgical procedures by day. The debutante is gorgeous, intelligent, and independent, and she shares a curiously parallel romantic past with Taylor." Yeah, that definitely spells trouble in Shep-ville. Outside of the social scene, her bio reads that Salley works in spinal robotics — nothing short of impressive there! I can't wait to see what this brainy beauty adds to the group!

Molly O’Connell also joins season 10 after apparently showing up in the background of previous seasons for years. So while she's new to the show, she's definitely been a friend of the group for a while. Still, this isn't Molly's first foray into TV — she was on America's Next Top Model in 2010 and continued her modeling career for years afterwards. On top of all that? She's also appeared as a charter guest on Below Deck. Clearly, this girl was made for the screen!

Ryan Albert hops on board this season as a friend of Patricia's — because who doesn't this woman know in Charleston?! According to Bravo, he's a stay-at-home-husband who volunteers — and hosts parties — in his free time.

When does 'Southern Charm' season 10 come out?

Bravo

Southern Charm season 10 premieres Thursday, Dec. 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT! I'll be tuned in with rosé in-hand and mouth agape!

ICYMI, while some of us were showing off our best Halloween costumesthis weekend, hundreds of people gathered in New York City's Washington Square Park for a Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest. Various people who look similar to the actor (AKA, Timmy's in different fonts) showed up in costume, while others genuinely look so much like him they were believable in their own clothes!

Get hundreds of people together in NYC and you're in for a crazy afternoon, but things got even more chaotic when Timothée Chalamet himself showed up...and then the police came disperse the crowd (and even arrested one attendee). Despite this turn of events, one lookalike, dressed up as the titular character from Wonka, was crowned the winner. Here are the best tweets about the very-eventful Sunday.

The Best Tweets About The Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest

He was, folks!

In the flesh!

And even Netflix got in on the conversation!

The Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest made New York City feel even more like your very strange, very random small town.

I was definitely feeling nostalgic for 2014.

There are some things that can't be explained in words, for real.

How could anyone focus on anything else?!

Work smarter, not harder.

The only thing better than showing up to the Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest? Accidentally showing up to the Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest.

Hang this in the Louvre.

I think Timmy (and Wonka) would approve.

The Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest was a day for the history books.

Pull through Timmy!

With his current Marty Supremelook, it's no wonder no one recognized him.

Okay, we had to suspend our disbelief just a bit, but that's the fun of it!

This was more entertaining than any Halloween party could be, TBH.

I truly don't know the last time I felt mindless joy like this.

There are so many layers to the Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest.

And on a fine Sunday afternoon, there's nowhere I'd rather see them.

WHERE'S HIS TROPHY?!

Well, that's one way to look at it.

Love is in the air!

Y'all want to meet in Central Park next weekend?
