Wow, that was fast!

Zoe would like to pass along her thanks to her thoughtful SS, Jax.

My wife sent me some photos. Zoe went through her usual "new stuff" cycle of...

Cautious inspection:


Confusion/distrust:


Scrambling around, going nuts and loving everything:


Wonderful gifts, she's enjoying them all. Thanks!

The fleece Cat Dancer is a wonderful toy, all of my cats adore theirs. But just a minor FYI: if your cat is a nibbler - one who takes bites of things not meant for consumption - the Cat Dancer is best stored out of reach (or behind lock and key!) when not in use. Some cats, i.e. Cat #2, like to bite the end of the fleece off, and then you spend $350 and a Saturday afternoon at the vet.

Atlas would like to thank his Secret Santa for his new Tuff Tug toy that arrived yesterday. He LOVES it! I wasn't home to see him open the package but my wife sent this picture.


This is what Atlas does with his toys when he first gets them.

Jax says you are welcome! They are his favorite things. I have (had) three cats and the fleece stick was their favorite. Fortunately no one ate the fleece fabric. I did have a cat who at the plastic end cap off of a flash drive when no one was looking. It took us 3 Vets, 2 emergency clinics, 5 days, her losing 3 pounds and nearly dying to find the right vet who gave her the correct diagnosis. She had life saving surgery and that fiasco cost me $2800 due to all the num nuts who didn't find the issue at the start. There is a whole Omni thread I started on that drama. The reason I only have one cat right now is when my son moved he took the two kitty girls Coco and Sasha and I kept Jax. So my cats eat plastic, not fabric so the sticks are safe here.

My cats go nutz over that mouse on the wire too. I guess I need to start saying cat since two moved out of state but I still consider them mine. I love cats, I think I want another one.

Zoe is quite adorable!

This is the sweetest picture!

Am I supposed to have received my assignments? Can't say I've seen anything in my PMs, only from the regular SS

Assignments went out last week (Wednesday evening). If you haven't received yours PM Kipper.

I'll check and resend!

Check now, please.

Thanks Fiancee was already working away on it over the weekend lol

Yay!!!

Santa Paws came today for Jax! I will let the pictures tell you.

What is dis stuff?


Sniff!


For me? (yes I am cross-eyed)


No action shots, they were all too blurry because he was having so much fun playing with everything. Jax says thank you for the presents to Secret Santa Paws. Jax is a very sweet Snowshoe Siamese with pretty blue eyes.

Jax is gorgeous!

How do you explain to a cat the concept of giving?

There is a rather large box in the living room right now where I am assembling the various items that will be sent out to some good little pets for Christmas. Problem is there is some (catnip) in there, and Cat #1 believes all of that addictive substance belongs to him and him alone.

I'm hoping I can get the gifts organized and shipped before his claws make it through double layers of cardboard, otherwise he might end up on Santa Paws naughty list!

LOL, tell him that he has to let it go in order to get far neater stuff back!
