I dont have a kitty yet. My girl should come to live with us in July of 2011. I have the basics, bowls, litter box, mini cat condos. So anything girly, Clothes, collars, harness toys ect.

I myself love to read, im a huge National Geographic/Discovery fan. Love horses. I have a soon to be 3 year old daughter who just found out that listening to music was fun!

Hope this helps!

this post makes me REALLY mad.................................
That John told me i couldn't participate!!!! lol
He was worried because it being a public forum :( Sometimes men just don't understand. And how can i hide a gift for my kitties!! And we all know how creepy us cat-people can get lol. Hum.. maybe when i stick around for next year he'll be less crazy-internet freak and will say you guys are all normal cat people and let me participate!
OR maybe i should tell him to SHOVE IT : ) although... i personally would love big gifts from him, so i can't piss him off too much right? lol

I can't wait to hear about what everyone gets!!!! i'm live vicuriously through all your santa posts!

Not necessarily for "permission" but more of "what do you think about this" ..... ya know?
i should have done it, then when the gift arrived said "look there IS a santa!" :ThumbsUp:

I have two kitties Tux male 11.5 lbs of mancat and Twitch is 9 lbs. They have a ton of clothing but do love it. They are not fussy about treat, they eat most any brand if I let them. They love most things to play with so I am sure they will be happy with anything.

I do love chocolate and most things christmas. I am not picky and I am sure we will love anything.

Hope that helps.

I agree! To help keep the anonymity, my person may or may not have posted yet (see how I'm tricking you all up? :Wink:) But, yes, everybody partaking in the Secret Santa this year should post at least one little hint in this thread to the all of us! I'm still brainstorming. I think I'm going to go shopping next weekend for all of my goodies :ThumbsUp:

Well ha ha ha, I just realized that I started this thread and never actually posted...oops:Dizzy::Dizzy:

So...Cats...

Hibou - 8 lbs - Female 1.5 yrs old (at Xmas)
Kokka - 7.2 lbs - Female - 9 mts old (at Xmas)

They both love treats...Tempations, Greenies, Now, Whiskas...just about anything...except the freeze dried real meat kinds...at those they turn up their collective noses go figure!
They both wear clothes and collars at times
They both love teasers and catnip stuffed toys
They love catnip

As for me, there is nothing I need,,,but I do like chocolates...oh and if my secret santa is from the US, some Count Chocula, FrankenBerry or BooBerry Cereal...if they still make it! We don't get those up here and they are such a flashback...I love them as a treat...almost better than chocolate!

You can just throw some in a little baggie in the box, that'd make me happy! LOL...just try not to throw in some catnip in a baggie, they frown on that at customs...lol lol lol

I really am not hard to please!

This is cool....I like the idea of sharing our wish lists here on this thread. It helps out our Secret Santas (who may not know us and our cats very well otherwise) and there is less chance of anybody being disappointed when they open their packages come Christmas.

I have two sphynx cats, Piglet and Peppe. Piglet is a 10 year old female, 7 lbs. (she's tiny!) and is a lavender with green eyes. Piglet is a registered therapy cat through the Delta Society and American Humane. She likes to wear clothes and looks especially cute in fuzzy sweaters and little dresses (Piglet wears size S). Piglet especially enjoys the crunchy cat treats, fluffy cat blankets, and catnip toys.

Peppe is a 1 year old sphynx male, 12.5 lbs, and is a white/grey bi-color with yellow eyes. He loves to explore and play. Peppe wears clothes and especially needs sweaters and fleeces for the winter (he wears larger S's or size M). He adores cat toys, especially the little rubber soccer balls that he can bat around and carry in his mouth. Peppe likes all food...he'll eat anything! He's also fond of cozy cat beds.

As for me, I'm pretty easy to please for the most part. However, I especially like the cute, creative handmade items with cat or nature/animal themes (for instance, some of the crafty things on etsy.com). Things that are artsy yet have a practical use I find really cool. I also like chocolate and pretty (not cheesy) Christmas ornaments. Hope this helps!

Merry Christmas to everybody here and especially my Secret Santa!

Oh! If my secret santa isn't in the US, then you should send me some nifty thing that they don't have here. Because that would be AWESOME! :BigSmile:

I'm so excited!

I agree that would be so cool! Whenever I travel I always get t-shirts, like the cheap tourist ones! Love those haha

Another reminder to those people out there who have not put in their requests and ideas!! You may get something like... like coal! :Surprise:

I answered but left no specific info so I'll write some more even though I really am into surprises more than specifics. :)

Darwin: He'll be 6 months come xmas and eats anything. Love toys, especially a ball with a little bell(?dunno if that's the right word?) in it. Never wore any clothes as you all know :LOL: but... :Sweat: IF someone would go in that direction he is pretty small yet.

Namir: Somali with furrr. I am sure at least some of you have seen this even if it was long ago :Laugh: . He is like Darwin in every way except a bit bigger (sphynxes mature slowly compared to most breeds after all), same age though. 6 months by xmas as well. He plays more with soft toys model medium. Not tiny mice and not big teddy bears.

Me: 38, male. Don't need anything and appreciate everything. Don't eat tomatoes but I doubt anyone was about to send me one anyway.

I never used catnip toys or catnip at all yet as they are still enjoying their toys anyway so have been saving it for when they calm down a bit to have something up my sleeve when for later so that might b an idea.
However a surprise is nice. There is nothing I can get that wouldn't make me happy so consider this only a little presentation, not a formal wish list.

Big hugz to my Santa.
<3

Pedda likes small soft dangly toys that are easy to play fetch with and likes crumpled up paper too but isn't fond of small crinkle toys. She likes catnip toys and loose catnip. She likes any cat treat known to man except for ones with duck (but any other poultry or fish or beef is great). She loves interactive toys like feather teasers but ignores lazer lights. She likes wearing clothes and prefers soft material, esp cotton blends, and hates 100% polyester. She's a big girl and weighs 11.8 lbs. She measures 10" neck, 13" from neck to base of tail, 17.5" chest, and 7" from top of hip to foot. It's best to give measurements because sometimes she wears a S and sometimes a M depending on the exact piece of clothing.

I love hand/body lotions and all sugar-free candy. I'm really looking forward to video taping Pedda with her presents!

This is hilarious, Holly!! When me and my brother were kids, he was addicted to Boo Berry cereal!! When it was re-released a few years ago, I couldn't resist sending him a box (we are estranged). He didn't respond... but I hope it brought a smirk to his face, as you just brought to mine. :Smile:

The m &m factory is just a half mile from our house and my best friends hubby works there. Along with half our town. Check out the back of the bag Hackettstown NJ. If anyone that can't get them shoot me your address I get them free and they are so common here no one eats them anymore.
I have to tell you the new pretzel covered ones are to die for:Wink:
