Hmmmm.....if anyone feels like selling me their bug in a jar I'd be interested!

(I think Asteroid would quite like it.)

No interest in the Bug Jar here either

they love the "thing in a bag" though

Yesterday we had a mini Xmas for relatives I didn't see on Xmas day - the boys got three Whiskas stockings, a treat ball, two american football toys

and best of all they unwrapped the cat fisher toy I won in the auction donated by http://www.mutleyandmog.co.uk/cat/cat-accessories/cat-toys/fishing-rod-reel

This is the most amazing toy, the boys LOVE it. They were racing up and down the garden chasing after it (it casts upto 40ft

) and it's great fun for the human to try and reel it back in quickly to stop them catching it

I've been playing it indoors too and have now perfected my 'casting'!

Mia was convinced she was being fed two lots of wet food in one evening and was over the moon, I put the bowl down she stuck her nose in then straight away dipped her head back and stared at me in bemusement/shock/disgust

The four cats in this household all dislike it!

You could have been talking about Riley there

What's this about 4 cats

I knew it - 'body swerve' is about right

Lu wouldn't even sniff it and Riley let it touch his lips but swears he didn't swallow

They have two PAH stockings to open on christmas day, and their trusty laser pen and some mice

I hope there isn't any of that nasty turkey gravy in them - I guarantee it will go down the sink

Good point!

I'm about to open one of the gravy drinks and see how it goes - will get back to you all!

Oh, let us know how they get on with the bug in a jar - I've been wanting to buy mine one of those for ages but wasn't sure if they would be interested in it or not.

I wouldn't bother with the bug in a jar if I was you, mine aren't interested. Have had it on 3 times and they don't look at it. It's quite loud and that's putting them off I think

Mojo · « **Reply #45 on:** December 24, 2008, 12:30:41 PM »

Hopefully a new house with a catproof garden! (they dont have a garden at the mo) we were told last week that the person buying our place has finally sold his flat (very long story!!!)
and we can start officially looking for somewhere to buy. Though I think we willl bide our time at OH's mothers place so we can save even more

yay new house!!

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #44 on:** December 23, 2008, 22:34:34 PM »

Got mine a new laser pointer as the last two died.

My in laws however always spoil our lot so they won't go without anything

Last year they got a treat container filled will treats and 3 fishing rod type toys and 2 little toys.

I did have a box of cat toys from the US which was left at the comic shop we go to every week and now they can't find it! If I ever get it back there's £25 worth of toys that I can donate to a rescue (toys have catnip and we can't have that in the house).

maryas · « **Reply #43 on:** December 23, 2008, 22:28:35 PM »

More kisses and cuddles from me, cos I just love her soooo much. More toys for me to fall over and I've got her a new collar.

Mary

It's our first furry Christmas

and our furries definetely deserve presents! Unfortunately with the big present (ceiling cat tree) they will have to wait for few weeks, because we are moving the house very soon. But they will get some nice gourmet dinners, thrive treats and few toys to play with.

The deadly duo have a personalised blankie a piece courtesy of madkittyrescue and some pheasent feathers..

Her royal highness has a hyper bling collar with a little crown pendant and the Taj Majal tent from Ikea...

Lunch will be a share of the turkey and maybe a prawn or 2 (3-4-5 maybe more

)

I don't have anything in particular for the boys as Oscar doesn't like a lot of treats but I have it on the shopping list for Tesco tonight to get them some fancy food tonight for Christmas day and likewise for Nina.

Mine got a Penquin bed from PAH which I think must have catnip in it's little wings because they have gone berserk for it (Yes I know it's not Christmas yet, but if I had wrapped it up, they would have just gone berserk and probably pulled the whole christmas tree cage down to get it).

I know one bed between the 28 upstairs cats is a bit mean but I didn't really want 28 penquins in my lounge

Janeyk · « **Reply #35 on:** December 22, 2008, 17:25:47 PM »

Nothing apart from Da bird, which I thought I'd get them to try, they don't really play now they are so old and have all they need really. My sister usually buys them a big bag of food (which they share with the ferals of course!)

Indys Mamma · « **Reply #34 on:** December 22, 2008, 17:10:41 PM »

Indy and Misha aren't getting a lot

Indy is getting a new roundabout toy with boingy mousie

£6.90 on zooplus but £1.99 in Bargain Madness!!! and a bag of goodies he won at the Burmese show on December 6th

Misha is getting his second vaccination on Christmouse Eve and a second goodie bag

their big present they are getting February which is access outdoors! am building a 15ftx18ftx8ft enclosure half with a roof, half just mesh roof and an outdoor junglegym... basically am enclosing the patio... and the reason so large is so still room for Max to go outside in it too (the dog)

Wibblechick · « **Reply #33 on:** December 22, 2008, 14:31:11 PM »

Having recently taken on an almost completely black cat - - - there is one kitty who has just had a bright yellow fluorescent collar as an early Christmas present.

Reason?

Because in the evening, when I only have a reading light on, Ive nearly sat on him twice and tripped over him once!!

And If I ever get the tree up (I meant to do it at the weekend and other things sort of happened ....) the kitty pressies will go under it. How long the wrapping will last Im not sure ....

There are two kitty stockings from their very kind Aunty Helen, too! And Ive just bought two little Gourmet Golds for their dinner. BIG pressie for Mr T(our black chap) and for us was him moving in with us full time

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #32 on:** December 22, 2008, 13:36:16 PM »

I've just been to the pet shop and got more things

I got a catnip toy, a Pet Stages shake, rattle and roll toy and some Pussy Lawn (that name makes me chuckle in a really juvenile way).

So Dave is well and truly spoiled this year! Guilt for the fact I'll be leaving him for a few months next year I think

Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) · « **Reply #31 on:** December 22, 2008, 11:00:36 AM »

Mine have got some nice dinners, some little toys some temptations and other treats in their stockings and then I'm off to buy some new fishing rod type toys today (naughty dyson broke their fave one a couple of weeks ago and I promised to replace!) and then I'm also on the hunt for a nice new scratcy tower. A bit of a last min thing as we decided that although the other two seem quite happy with the two towers they have, Jasper wants one that's a bit higher! Pampered cats!!!

sheryl · « **Reply #30 on:** December 22, 2008, 10:24:53 AM »

Lets just say they are getting Lots of things and prawns on the Menu (the Benglies cant eat Turkey because it gives them "Bengly Bum")

I bought double all their food at the weekend and dontated half to our local rescue and some new beds.

Liz · « **Reply #29 on:** December 22, 2008, 10:19:35 AM »

Well the cats have 3 new radiator beds, several new fluffy beds and more toys than PAH, also we are having an Applaws tea and a new RC Biscuit - lets hope they like the RC as its a 15kg bag!

The dogs have got chewies, pigs ears, Jazz has a new bed, Sky has 2 new footballs and Sunny has a toy hammer and some squeaky things -he is also getting his fuinal booster today so he can visit his Grandad for the first time on Saturday!

In fact they have more pressies than we do currently!

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #28 on:** December 21, 2008, 23:52:32 PM »

Mine aren't getting anything at all. Instead they have spent their Christmas money on a parcel that I'll be taking down to Sunny Harbour in January on their behalf (they can't drive

).

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #27 on:** December 21, 2008, 21:52:04 PM »

My lot have a set or spark plugs and leads for an MR2

At leat that's where the money I would have spent on them and myself over xmas has gone sadly. Bloody car has cost me a fortune this year and on Tuesday I took it in to get the spark plugs replaced (£28 fitted) as it wasn't running properly but they called me back and told me the leads were also knackered so it ended up costing £108 ... needless to say I have had to cut back and kitty pressies are one of the things on the list.

Sorry babies .... but mummy loves you very much and I promise to make it up to you

Stuart · « **Reply #26 on:** December 21, 2008, 21:42:33 PM »

I got misty an early xmas pressie " a bean bag bed " (which he doesn't even look at )

and I've ordered 20 tins of Pitr-pat "candy" for cats

just hope they get here on time

My furries have got a bug in a jar and a panic mouse, plus some valerian and honeysuckle bits and pieces to see how they react to it, and for Meeko cos I think he'll be scared of the bug and the mouse. He's a timid boy and doesn't like things that move by themselves. He doesn't like balls either cos they move too fast and he's too lazy to chase them. He likes little things he can push about at his leisure. I'm so excited to see Belle especially with the bug in a jar cos he goes mad for flies, or even pieces of fluff that look like flies.

Haven't got their xmas dinner yet.

God I feel a right tight meowmy but I cant afford a stocking for each one so they have to share

Got their Christmas food sorted though,Christmas morning is sheba foil tray,christmas lunch is tesco luxury chicken fillets and tea will be gravy and beef with their gourmet perle and supper if will be felix fish selection,same for boxing day and new years day

Macey would love that butterfly in the shop but they are sold out. Pets at home I think its going to be. Although I found that Willows range there which is quite good. I got Ollie a couple of catnip cushions, just small ones and they were 1.99 each. He loved having a good scoot after sniffing those lol

Ticky · « **Reply #22 on:** December 21, 2008, 20:45:22 PM »

You guys are making me feel awful! My Sydney is so easy to please, it never occurred to me to get him anything in particular for Christmas. Although I made the horrid mistake of introducing him to Fancy Feast cat food. His sister moved out of the house with my 20-year-old daughter a month ago, and they shared a food bowl. He didn't eat for days after she left.

I decided he needed a treat, and hopefully something that would renew his appetite.

Now the Fancy Feast issue is . . . an issue.

He very nearly clotheslines my feet in the morning to get his morning can. So it looks like it is going to be a daily ritual (and an expensive one!!

). The local grocery store offers a box of 24 cans which includes a little crystal dish, so I think this will be Sydney's Christmas gift. *sigh*

But hey, he deserves it. This cat is seriously the most loving cat. I rescued him from a house fire of a close friend (who died in the fire

). He was in kitty intensive care for a week, on IVs and kitty oxygen. Oh it was awful, but he survived. He only had a 50/50 chance at the time. Since he's been in our home he insists on at least 3 daily sessions of serious luvin' -- head butts and muffins on my shoulders and arms and kisses. And he pets my hair. It's positively darling.

Mine have got some new catnip toys and Da Bird with accessories, but I didn't get round to buying them any heated beds. They will have some nice food as well. It's quite hard to do anything more with JEannie and Norman being so poorly.

Lu and Riley are getting the fishing rod toy (casts up to 40ft

) and their Auntie has bought them a Whiskas stocking each. I caved in and gave them a few pressies early, they have already had the racing car bed and another bed

but they haven't set foot in either

My 2 are getting a new bed and Da Bird toy - and some nice fancy wet food. I will probably end up bringing them some turkey home from their gran/grandpa's too.
