Do you buy your pets Christmas/Hanukkah gifts?
Edited on Wed Nov-17-04 12:11 AM by GingerSnaps
I spent $200.00 bucks one time for my pets Christmas gifts and the cashier at pet smart rolled her eyes at me.

Before you past judgment I had allot to buy for. I had a Cockatiel, 3 dogs and 4 cats at the time plus I had a couple of tropical saltwater fish. Divide $200.00 between 10 pets it comes out to about $20.00 bucks each.

I have a couple of cats and some salt water tropical fish right now. I am planning on getting the cats a cat tree and the fish a coral reef and a diver Dan for the tank.

Do you buy gifts for your pet kids? Do you wrap them?

3. of course!
I love buying my pets Christmas gifts, and I only get them like one present each plus doggie treats. They're perfectly fine with that.

6. Seriously though, my pets never played with any of the things that
I bought for them. What I ended up doing was making collars and stuff from scratch, while they were watching, and then putting the collars (for example) on them ---- they loved it. Well, actually, the one getting it did and pranced around like crazy - the other was jealous until I finished theirs.

11. Yes.
We have catnip stockings, too. Little ones. They (the cats) get to pluck them off the tree.

16. Pizza delivery
Last year I had pizza delivered for my four meezers.

http://www.catnippizza.com

They also received a heated cat bed



This year we are participating in a gift swap with another meezer household. I have to complete an application and will be matched up with another meezer owner and we'll swap gifts for our cats. It sounds like fun, I hope that the cats will enjoy it
