I bought a pack and gave him one at lunch when I came home and I have never seen him eat anything so fast and he was begging for more and I regretted that I didn't buy more since I won't be in LA again for a while. There were a few packs of them in the box so Santa was amazing
What are Churu sticks?

I googled them out of curiosity and only hit that seemed remotely likely was on Amazon, but after reading the product description there I am none the wiser.

From Amazon:
CIAO Churu Flavor tuna (package Red) reward for cats. Mix them food to enhance flavor the most delicious.
Actual fish? Fish flavored something? A treat? A diet supplement?

Enquiring cats want to know.

They a tubed treat but liquid consistency so you have to squirt them into a dish. They have a couple different flavors and my cat loves them. I wasn't able to find them at either Petco or Petsmarts site so you probably can only find them at smaller specialty pet stores and they have a few different flavors. They are on Amazon at:
https://www.amazon.com/Ciao-Creamy-B...uru+cat+treats

They were cheaper at the pet store I got them at than what amazon wants. If you have cats get them, they'll love them.

If you are ordering from Amazon this year they are a little unreliable this time of year. I had a 2 day package take 4 days to get here. UPS delivered my packages to a house 2 streets over, no similarity in the street name or house number. The person is in New Mexico for the winter and the only reason I have my boxes is because someone called the woman's son, told him she had packages. He drove 20 miles over, discovered my name and address on the packages and brought them to me. When he knocked on my door I was arguing with an Amazon CSR that I didn't have the packages.

If some nice neighbor had not called this super nice man who brought my boxes to me I wouldn't have my stuff. Hopefully everything gets to all the Santa Paws participants in time!

This is true. I'm waiting on things from Amazon, that shipped last week.

This has me worried as Chai's package to Denver shows as delivered last week.

Usually, you can count on Amazon customer service, but I agree, I tend to stop ordering after about 10 December unless it's absolutely necessary. I think year before last, or maybe it was last year, I ordered an iPad mini and the same thing happened to me. Somehow the system said it was delivered, then when I called they fought with me, and I said "look, on UPS it shows that they didn't even run the route because it says weather made accessing our house impossible! how can you say it was delivered??" finally they rushed me out another- I was due to travel within a day or 2- and I got the replacement. The original? Showed up like a week later.

As long as we have tracking numbers or something, then I guess it's okay. I'm just praying we don't have a situation where some Santa's decided not to fulfill their commitment.....

Lily was getting worried, but she received a text assuring her that her gift is on the way. She will be patient and watch for the mailman. If the package arrives late, well, there's enough toys here to share for a couple days.

Cheyenne is thrilled with her two pounds of zuke's treats which will greatly help in her endeavor to get her rally novice title this spring, and she is excited about the new undercoat rake. She has told me that she will be the prettiest mally in the rally ring.
She is also thrilled to be able to lord it over her brother that her package arrived first.

Okay I don't know what a mally is so you are just going to have to provide photos of Cheyenne so I can understand.

Lily's gift was shipped on 12/17, although perhaps the USPS drug dogs confiscated it...
