Gifts for cats a daft idea?

KatyC_2

Morning all!
I'm making some catnip pillows for the cats in our extended family (4 in total)- just simple squares stuffed with the catnip I've found here.

A few people have said it's a bonkers idea and that you shouldn't get gifts for pets. What do you think? Do you give your pets gifts at Christmas?

Morning

No, I don't think it's a daft idea as I give my animals presents too ! My friend makes and sells cat toys and beds and I ordered a few catfish mice and fish last Christmas which was posted through my letterbox while I was at work. By the time I came home the cat had intercepted the package, ripped it open and there were cat toys all over the hall! He must have had a lot of fun with them as there were around 5 of them :mad:.

Back to your question, I think it's a good idea and I sure the cats will appreciate them

Hi,

I got a furminator brush for my cat this year!

I like to spoil her a little!

I think it is a lovely idea
I have actually been knitting up catnip mice for Cats protection and my cat loves the one I gave her
I am going to give some to my mum's cats.

The cats will love them

If it makes you and the cats happy do it!! My daughter will be spoiling our dog with some special treats.

I think it's mean not to get them anything! My cat is always a bit hyper on Christmas morning as he knows something is different with everyone crowded round the living room and wrapping paper everywhere. He gets a little Christmas sack every year with a few toys and treats in, and it's hilarious watching him dive in and pull everything out.

Awww! I think that this is a lovely idea. At christmas my dog always had a doggy advent calender where she had a treat each day and on the big day she had a big selection box (we made it).

Please don't worry about what others say if you want to do it then do it - pets are our family!

my daughter has bought our cat a cat advent calander:o
one of the supermarkets are doing them

cats love catnip
so be aware when you have made and wrapped their parcels
they wont leave them alone
so maybe dont put them under the tree:D
