If you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect Christmas present for your cat (yes, pets deserve presents, too), PetSmart might have you covered. The retailer is selling an adorable scratching post that your cats will love and will match your holiday decor.

The PetSmart Merry & Bright Holiday Gingerbread House is a must-buy for your furry friend this year.

The gingerbread house isn’t actually made of cookies (obviously), but it is constructed of cardboard planks designed to look like the sweet treat. The sides feature adorable lollipop-flanked windows as well as snowy icing details along the sills and gumdrop bottoms. There’s even a cookie chimney!

Inside the house, though, there’s a piece of corrugated cardboard that’s perfect for cats to scratch, and at the front, where the entrance to the house is, there’s a cat-nip toy with a bell for an extra little surprise for your furry friend.
