FT Santa Paws 2016
 
It's time for the 3rd annual FT Santa Paws exchange, where FTers' pets sent presents to each other, much like the Secret Santa exchange.

I'll organize it again this year, as I had great fun learning about FTers' furbabies! :D

If you want to participate, send me a PM with:
  1. Your Name
  2. Number of pets "participating"
  3. Pet name(s) and species
  4. Your email address
  5. Mailing address for your pet(s)
  6. Toys they like,
  7. Treats they like and any allergies or restrictions they have with regard to treats
  8. Neck measurement (for collars)
  9. Any other information you wish to share that is interesting.

"Suggested" value, around $15/pet, not including shipping. I'll send our assignments by November 20, please ship presents by December 15.

Am trying to decide about signing up the fish. I mean, what would you give tropical fish as a gift? :D

The Alpha Cat is in my lap demanding to participate. He just wore out the scratcher he got last year and is hoping for a new one. Will get his sign-up in this weekend.


Did this get cross-posted to Travel with Pets yet?

And can it be a sticky, up near the Secret Santa thread, so it's easy to find?

p.s. maybe also include species on the sign-up info?

A tropical fish of the opposite sex? Or maybe aquarium supplies if you want something easier to ship...

Noooooo! My son purchased 8 mollies in April. We currently have close to 50. He's thinking about going into business selling them.

Anybody in the Mid-Atlantic region need some fish? ;)

LOL!

I did not cross post yet. We can ask if it can be a sticky. :D

I think that's the canine equivalent of getting socks and underwear from Santa.

This. I think Empress Cobaka would try to kill me if I tried to use that on her.

A dilemma
 
Currently there are 4 cats at my house: 3 family members + 1 long term foster cat here for psychological rehab.

We do not need 4 gifts worth of kitty toys! The toy basket is already overflowing! After playtime one can hardly walk across the living room without treading on a mousie or a crackly ball (they get their toys out to play, but do cats ever put them away? Noooooo)

Would anyone be offended if I were to register just (resident cats) and (foster cat) instead of all 4? The foster cat actually has most need of toys; she's only recently learned about playing, which is a huge step forward for her.

CD traveler maybe register the five as one family. They can share the gifts. I tell my Winnie and Tigger they have to share everything. It's being nice
