Do you buy Christmas gifts for your cats?
So I have always done this since my first cat growing up. I remember my father would take me and let me pick out gifts for my cat, the dogs, the birds, the hamsters... I loved it. Since then, I always get any pet I own a gift on Christmas and on their birthdays. My oldest knows when it is close to his birthday because it is in Spring. He sucks up a lot! I spoil him badly.
Anyways, this year I found some cute stocking filled with toys for cats. I got them each one. I can't wait to give them to them!! Anyone else buy gifts?

Re: Do you buy Christmas gifts for your cats?
I always liked the "Christmas atmosphere" when I was a kid, but I think it starts way too early nowadays and so that has just put me off - I mean, Christmas songs and adverts and decorations are now up in November! I personally wish all Christmasy things (apart from advent calendars) wouldn't start till two weeks before Christmas, I think a lot more people might then start enjoying it again.
That's really nice you get your cats pressies, I am sure they appreciate them!

I don't go overboard (I'm a bit 'bah humbug' by nature) ..... but mine get a special dinner and something small at Christmas .... just maybe not individually wrapped!

The first Christmas presents I got this year were for the cats in my life (including friends and family cats). Nothing extravagant, but let's get our priorities right!

Re: Do you buy Christmas gifts for your cats?
That is a lovely picture of Kenzie. Was there catnip in that stocking? He does seem very keen to get in there!
There was a Christmas Craft Fayre in the car park of the pottery this weekend - some really lovely stuff! There was a guy there who made willow baskets. Now I have a willow picnic hamper that Thomas took a shine to. The trouble is there is a bar across the middle and he is finding it increasingly difficult to get in it. Sooo, guess who's having a custom made kitty bed for Christmas? I'd do anything for my little man - he's such a gentleman.
I am just SO glad the girls prefer cardboard boxes and Bob has his hammock.

Lol , yes Kenzie was very spoilt
Im sure there's must've been a toy with catnip in it right enough lol.
Just as well our 2 new kittens won't be coming till mid January , mind you there's been 3 parcels ordered this week with bits n bobs for them lol . Enough now I think, no more toys , we've only a small house ha ha.

Re: Do you buy Christmas gifts for your cats?
I do
Best Christmas present my cat when i was a teenager got..... well he wasn't exactly 'given' this one, mum had left the turkey to rest...and when me and her went into the kitchen ..Fishface had helped himself to a very large turkey breast.....he was allowed a small piece...and the rest was given ...i think to my boyfriend......still haven't let on, after all these years, gravy hides a multitude of sins...
