Commercialisation of christmas
I once bought pet supplies from a website which specialises in that sort of thing.
I have just been amazed by an email from them trying to persuade me to buy - "an advent calendar for your pet" How ridiculous is that? - If anyone thinks it isn't, please advise me how to ask my cat about his religous preferences  Any of you seen any more examples of such exploitation?

Re: Commercialisation of christmas
Well I think it's right that he should have an advent calendar - after all he is a Cat-holic.
Although, I suppose he might be Pusslim, Mewish or he might even be Catptist. Sorry, I'll get my coat! |

Re: Commercialisation of christmas
Kate - chocolate is toxic for cats
 along with onions and garlic amongst other things Neil - I often do via telepathy, but we don't discuss religion in case it offends him  PS own up all those of you who hang up a stocking for your pet

Re: Commercialisation of christmas
I was in Pets-at-Home last week and noticed they had Xmas stockings for dogs and cats. Even worse were Xmas cards for your pet to send.
Our cat doesn't know or care about dates on the calendar. When it comes to December 25th she won't give a damn as long as she gets her breakfast and can curl up on a warm bed, upstairs, to sleep all day. We're fond of our cat and she's fond of us but she's a cat, for goodness sake, not a person.
