I might get shot down here but I think a random act of kindness wouldn't hurt. Maybe a muffin... A candy... A coffee or tea...
I think a gift of food is a low key thing. I don't think it is pressuring. Flowers or a tangible item might be.
How about an invite from the cat for some rubbies and dinner?
Just thinking out loud...
I like the cat approach as that is something she has been comfortable with in the past. I will be sure to try it when we get back from our respective holidays.
