Cat treats come in small bags that never reseal properly, and a half-open bag in a cupboard is an invitation to any cat who has worked out how doors move. A lidded jar on the worktop keeps the contents fresh and, more to the point, keeps them where you left them. It also puts the rewards within arm's reach, which is the difference between training a cat and meaning to.

The Gibraltar design carries a cat motif rather than a generic pattern, so it reads as the cat's rather than as borrowed kitchen storage. The build is break-resistant instead of ceramic, which is sensible in a house where things get walked across, and a silicone base grips the counter, which matters when the lid is being pulled with one hand. At 18cm tall and 14cm across it holds 65oz, roughly 1.9 litres, so a large bag of biscuits goes in with room to spare.

On cats and lids. The lid keeps treats fresh and discourages casual raiding, but it is not a locking mechanism, and a determined cat with an hour alone in the kitchen is a determined cat. If yours has previous form, keep the jar in a cupboard and accept the loss of convenience.

Who it's for: Cat households doing clicker work or a daily treat routine, and anyone who would rather look at a decent jar than a torn foil bag.
