Question of the Day?

Do you get your pets anything for christmas?

So we can't forget our pets during the holidays! I love to get our cats things for christmas but I have learned sometimes cheaper is better! The cats love paper bags so last year at the Discovery store we found these moving paper bags. It was a brown paper type bag (but was made with a material that was really strong but still made noise like a paper bag). It had a little moter inside that would make it move every so often. We thought this was going to be a great gift so at $16 each we bought two (one for Sebastian and his cousin Socrates). Well they got their gifts on christmas day and we quickly realized they hated the toy. Both of them were scared shitless out of the toy! We tried turning the motor off and just leaving the bag and they could really care less about it. *sigh* it is disappointing when someone doesn't like a gift you got them - but when it is a pet who normally plays with dust in the air and they don't like your gift you know you did a suck-ass job at picking out a gift! (Do you know how many brown paper bags from the dollar store we could have gotten for $30 - they would have loved that 10x better!!!)

So this year we are getting things we know they will like! Some more of those little mice with bells in them that they manage to always loose or hide, something with strings and maybe some kind of food treat!

I like seeing pets react to the holidays. Our dog Lady use to get SO excited about Christmas. She loved the tree and had a stocking that hung by the fire place and she would open her gifts when she got them! I don't think cats have the same reaction but it is still fun!!!
