Ideas for Christmas Presents


I've got a few Christmas presents left to get. At the moment I'm stuck for ideas for Dylan.

At the moment I've seen some cat stockings BUT the problem with them is they have got fishy treats in. Dylan says he doesn't like fishy things.

He loves catnip, plays with his catnip toys a lot (in fact we have had to throw one away recently because Dylan completely disembowelled it), he loves cat milk (although isn't overly impressed with cows milk), he's convinced he's going to like banana milkshake (not given him any) and he likes turkey and doesn't mind chicken. Sometimes. We are still learning what he likes, though.

Any ideas for what to get him? I've decided to make him up a stocking of treats and toys, bit stuck for ideas on what to put in the stocking apart from a new catnip mouse (he's dangerously close to disembowelling the one he's got)

Thanks in advance for all suggestions! SHHH Don't tell Dylan what he's getting though

Ping pong ball? Fuzzy ball? Bag of dried really potent catnip? Feather on a string thingy...a bit large to fit in a stocking ......

Re: Ideas for Christmas Presents


My mum sends Miw and Mouse the most wonderful "pompom" balls every year, the cats LOVE them because they have crinkly bits on them and they make a wonderful noise! Unfortunately, I haven't seen any over here as yet......my mum sends them from Canada. Our cats also ADORE their catnip toys......however, I make them myself. Easy to make a fish shape and fill it with JUST CATNIP no other stuffing of any kind.....drives the cats wild and they can even smell through any wrapping paper and will try to open the gift LOL! Just a warning if you decide to do something like that......once they're made, seal them in a platic bag or Dylan will find them before Christmas!

I could get him a catnip spray bottle and some non catnip toys, then use the spray on them ...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

*thinking*

Re: Ideas for Christmas Presents


I could get:

The catnip spray
A couple more toys
Cat milk (which he loves)


Run out of ideas though. Trying to think of what treats he could have (non fishy ones though)

Real pate? My Sultan loved it, and a friend always gave him his very own small tin every Christmas...domestic, not the imported!

Beauty loved pate, but I'm not sure if Dylan would enjoy it or not (he's undecided as to whether or not he likes the new wet food we have started him on)
