Yes and when I receive cards the card inside is made out to me, Chynna and Abby.

I do remember one of my aunts asking me who Chynna and Abby were though, LOL

I'm thinking of getting individual stamps made up with their name and a paw print. Then I can stamp their name on the card next to mine and people will understand that they are kitties.

to people when I send them a card and they are on an animal forum, yes. I sign all of my pet's names. I think my family would think it's stupid.

I write all mine on there if it is family or another cat friendly family the card is going out too.

I don't tend to send many cards, but no I do not sign for the animal family members!

I know that some people like it, but I find it a bit odd - in the same way that I find it a little odd that some people post pretending it is their cat at the keyboard.

Not that I think they shouldn't, if that's what makes them happy there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not for me

I always sign the cats names to cards - they are family. I don't send cards to anyone other than family and close friends so even if they're not animal lovers themselves they all know I'm daft about my boys! To me it's just like other people putting their (human) kids names on cards. The only thing I wouldn't put their names to would be something like a leaving card at work that was from the whole office.

No. They write their own cards. Their penmanship leaves a lot to be desired, but is usually legible. Sometimes they let me sign the card, too.

At Xmas and birthday, when my boyfriend and I give each other cards, we make sure the cats give their own cards to us.


On Father's day, I made sure my boyfriend found a card from Rishi and Frankie.

I voted 'only if the other is a fellow cat person' - I sign it to those who would find it cute (like family) - but on ones to family friends I usually leave them off.

I voted 'no' because technically I never have... this is our first Christmas living together (me, Chad, and the cats too!) so I haven't had an opportunity.

I'm making all of my own cards this year with stamps & stuff so I like the idea of kitty paw prints- too cute! I'll have to go buy another stamp!

I should have known that Fran.

I will sign the cards to DH with the cats' names. There was one year where I picked up a card for Valentine's day and didn't read it fully (it was one of those fold-out ones). When I actually was ready to sign it, I found out that one of the pages talked about being a wonderful father. Since we didn't have kids, I crossed out the father part, put Pet Guardian and crossed out the "to the children" and replaced it with "to the kitties".

Well that depends. My kitties often feel the need to send their own cards, for example, Manytoes sent out 3 halloween cards this year. Being a black freaky cat and all, it only made sense. Christmas cards however are usually joint projects between me, manytoes, and niles, though I guess with Niles in Ontario with Mom, he'll be missing from my cards this year alas!!!
If its a personal card, it almost only ever gets signed by me, unless I can work the cat in creatively!

Yes - if they know the kitties! After all, they are part of the family! They even give out their own cards for birthdays to family members and buy Christmas presents for family as well!
