i'm stumped

[mrscat]

i know im being premature but im already thinking of xmas. im singing carols already & i just love the spirit of xmas. i never know what to buy my darlings, laila & hassan, for xmas. ive spent so much money on toys & cat furniture that they looked at once before i donate them to a cat charity. i always go overboard because i want to give them the world when they seem to just prefer to amuse themselves with an empty cardboard box, scrunched up paper, a bit of catnip, or jumping on the furniture. anyone have any expamples of successful cat gifts? eva, mrs cat

We have tried the same and given up. Now the presents are squiggles, keep in a bag with catnip and paper balls. We also get these very light balls that are about the size of a golf ball and fuzz sticks from the $ 1 store. I will also bring home different size boxes. No more expensive toys they like the cheap stuff better.

Another cute idea (although the cats would care less) is the paw print stockings with the kitties names on them.
We first got one for DJ (RB Cocker) and Taz. Then when Zoee joined us we got her one. Now this year I'm going to need to get one for Paizly. If only I could remember the company I ordered them from. Hopefully they'll send me a postcard with a discount code on it like they did a couple years ago. If they do I'll post it on PT so others can benefit from it as well.

As for toys, the old man Taz could care less. But I always get him a little something to go in his stocking. Now with the kitten, she'll probably get a little more (if Zoee doesn't steal them ).

Give them what they like. If they like wadded up paper and boxes then that's what they get for xmas.

You might want to try buying them a laser light. Most cats love chasing the red dot around. Mine also love the cat track toy in the large version. Here's a link about one of the brands you can buy: http://www.viewpoints.com/Petmate-Th...Circle-reviews. Click details to see it better. They also love almost anything that has catnip in it. Good luck.

Cassie plays with things around the house - pencils, because they are great to bat and swat off of a table; the ring that holds down the cap on a bottle of milk; and store bought toys she enjoys are little furry mice and a ball with a jingle bell inside.

Her very favorite toy is Kitty Tease. She enjoyed playing with it at the shelter before I adopted her, so we were given one as an adoption gift. She's been playing with it for 11 years and still enjoys it a lot!
