Yesterday i went out and got my pussy his christmas present. He got some Fancy Feast Broths, Fancy Feast Royale Banquet, 2 packets of Temptations, some cat milk, and a new catnip toy. All wrapped together under the tree with his name on it. (all of these he does not get on a regular basis) Any one else go christmas shopping for their furry family member?

Isis always gets some new cat toys and I usually get her some fancy turkey flavoured cat food for her Christmas dinner

Of course! Don't actually have a pet at the moment but in the past my furry chums have always had a gift or two under the tree and oh... their gifts that they gave me.... always knew EXACTLY what I wanted! When the cats were young they always got a box of ping pong balls plus something else they would enjoy. There would be a special whole little fish (caught especially by my Dad) for Christmas lunch too!

We haven't in a while as we haven't been able to afford anything extra. You've just reminded me that I should buy them something this year. One of our cats was sick last week . I think he deserves a present. Our children said as long as our cat was well that was all they needed for Christmas. They are getting presents themselves but I think they will enjoy helping the animals to open their presents This post has been edited by Sassy Girl: 21/12/2012, 12:00 PM

I always bought our dog presents for Christmas, until we started having kids and now she gets some pigs ears if she's lucky .

Yes of course. My girls plan out what to buy our pets. Santa even leaves them something under the tree too

Yes of course! But they're cats so they don't appreciate it.
