A tradition more than four decades in the making
The first ornament arrived in 1984, just two years after Fancy Feast launched. What started as a small seasonal keepsake grew into a collector’s item for every year.
The ornament has taken many shapes over the years. One featured a sleek silhouette of the iconic white Fancy Feast cat. The 2024 design, made for the 40th anniversary of Feastivities, was a working music box. A twirling cat sat atop a gold can. The 2025 design paid homage to one of the brand’s most popular products: Fancy Feast Gems.
For many cat lovers, the ornaments are an honored tradition. They come out every December, with one more added each year. Each marks another holiday with the cat who made it special.
A little golden locket with room for your cat
The 2026 ornament is a heart-shaped locket finished in warm gold. On the front, a cameo of the white Fancy Feast cat sits on rose-colored enamel. Delicate white flowers frame it, topped by a gold bow and a faux pearl. Open it, and there’s space inside for a favorite photo of your own cat.
The locket arrives in a keepsake box wrapped in sage green and winter botanicals. A rose ribbon ties it closed. Inside the lid, a short verse sets the tone:
“Once upon a tree sat a little golden locket. Greeting the season with a heart full of love, it held a magical moment. Each turning year, it’s placed with cheer to celebrate your story together.”
The design leans into something cat owners already know. During the holidays, the small moments matter, and the cat is part of every one of them.
“For more than 40 years, the Fancy Feast ornament has celebrated the holidays people share with their cats,” said Madison McGuinness, Brand Manager, Fancy Feast. “This year, we wanted to put the cat right at the heart of it. Literally. Every December, you’ll open it and see the face that makes the season feel like home.”
