Ours have a personalised bowl each, an Ikea cat tent, a Da Bird and a new fleecey blanket for Minnie, all wrapped up under the tree and taking up more room than the human presents!  :rofl:

Ours have a stocking between five! I feel really mean. I am going shopping tomorrow and have to go to the pet shop for supplies so will see what I can find. My Mum has bought them a wicker cat bed from TK Maxx that has a small hole entrance so great for getting some peace and quiet from the others. It'll no doubt be used as a scratching post as well.

Any suggestions that can be bought from Pets @ Home will be most welcome!!!

mine will be being played with using the interactive games we have (as opposed to those they use to amuse themselves. Hope the dog does not decide he wants to play also, or it will be tears before bedtime...) I may even give them a recitation of the poem I am writing using my new magnetic fridge poetry kit. I have two verses, still contemplating the third (had to be three so there are three groups of three, for a cat's lives...)

You've just reminded me that I've order a laser pen but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm quite such a mean mummy after all! I will look out for the mouse that squeaks when it moves and ping pong balls too. I take it they are a big hit with your cats then?

My two are spoilt rotten this year as it is Hobbes' first Christmas. They have a fab cat tree that I bought at the National Cat Show which was delivered last week, always wanted to get them a proper one. They also have a Whiskas cat stocking between them (it was only £2.99 in Wilkinsons instead of £3.99), a rather fetching catnip cushion each from one of the CP stalls at the National, a new Kitty Collar each and a paw print fleecy blanket from the Ely CP stall at the National. Oh and the strawberry pet bed each that I got in the Purrs auction. Oh well at lest most of the pressies were bought in aid of a good cause  :rofl:

My boys are extremely deprived as I can't stand wine  :sick:  To compensate they have lots of exciting goodies  :wow: A Whiskas cat head bed, peek a prize, tick tock teaser, cat spa, catnip cushions, purrnip bone, mystery pressies from their Nan (believed to be ping pong balls and small mice  :shify:).  It's their first Xmas so have probably gone a bit OTT but you all know how deprived they are throughout the rest of the year  :evillaugh:

I just brought the fling-ama-string from pets at home  ;D  I just hada quick try to see if they go for it and well to see if it works cause there nothing worse than new toys just not working on xmas morning and two lads waiting!  :shify: oh ok i wanted to see what it did too :evillaugh:
Have to say it's a big hit  ;D  Any babes who like string def get one of these toys  ;D  ( needs supervised play as usual with any string toys)

Here's a vid of it

I got mine a tunnel that is hard in the middle and has a hole in it so they can climb in and out. A laser pen from the purrs shop (I've given them a go with it already and they go absolutely mad for it, worse than Da Bird!), some of those spring type toys from the purrs shop. A ladybird toy from ebay that's supposed to squeak and move when they go near it. A pack that has a catnip Santa, reindeer and snowman, some other jingly balls and a Whiskas stocking.

Oh, and I bought a cat santa hat, for me more than them, to try and take photos, but they were unimpressed to say the least  :evillaugh:

No they have them and they are great but these are very fetching leopard print ones that I have heard good reports about, I think they sell them on their website and they are actually the ones that the Cat Chat Cats have, I believe Private Pickford is particularly fond of his  :rofl:

WEll, mine haven't bothered with their new cat tree (in fact, i dont think Molly and Zia have been downstairs to see it!!), Rolo ignored the catnip tea bag after I sprayed it with catnip spray, adn they picked at their food!!

Max is in love with his new wiggly waggler, and has spent most of the morning playing with it.  His new sheepmouse is another big hit, along with the ping pong balls his grandma and grandpa ( :evillaugh:) bought him this morning.

He's now looking forward to his Christmas dinner  :)

Only Rolo appreciated the turkey I brought back from my mum's, the girls ended up with Bozita and Perfect Fit dry!! Cat tree has still been ignored, Rolo will sit on the floor, in the box, on me and on the windowsill, but not on there!! IT is lovely too, and took me ages and 3 attempts to put it together. Ungrateful cats. he doesn't like the toys I have sprayed iwth catnip either.
