Kojak enjoys our guest bathroom a little too much. I FINALLY stopped him from shredding toilet paper a few months ago (i hid out in the shower behind the curtain and everytime the little rascle went towards the TP- i squirted his butt with the spray bottle


Now he's moved on to bigger and better things - the corner fish tank in the bathroom with my betta in it
I bet him and Cosmo would have fun together

Do you prefer bath or shower products? What scents do you like best
I am more of a shower person simply because I have no time for a nice bath. I love anything yummy smelling and have also never tried anything from LUSH!! The only scents I'm not big on are Rose and anything too citrusy.

Do you collect anything (that wasn't mentioned in other replies)?
Not necessarily a collector of much other than shot glasses.

What kind of toys do your kitties/other animals like to play with best?
Roxie loves all toys. Anything she can bat around goes over best. Anything filled with catnip is also one of her faves. We haven't tried Da Bird but she did have a fishing pole that she loved. I think she might like one of those laser pointer things she she goes nutty over the flashlight!

Do you like Christmas ornaments/etc as a present?
I love Christmas ornaments! This is our 3rd Christmas in our apartment but we have very few ornaments. If my SS does get me any -- keep in mind that Roxie is not so gentle and does have a fixation with the Christmas tree. I would love ornaments, they just have to be durable!

More questions!!!!!

Do you like to recieve speciality socks as a gift? What kind (warm fuzzy ones, toe socks, ones with prints on them?).
I LOVE the warm fuzzy ones that come in different colors!

Do you like throws/blankets? What color(s)? I love warm fluffy throws! (i like light greens, pinks,blues, purples!!)

Do you like more vibrant colors, pastels, or more muted/earth tones? I like vibrant colors for accessories/etc...but for our home we stick to nice earth tones (pretty shades of red, brown,etc)

Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? Yes, all 4 of mine wear collars with proper id at all times. They usually wear safety collars.

What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc) - i'm not picky at all! I like to see how everyone wraps their gifts a little different because it tells you a little bit about the person! My favorite wrapping paper is probably snowmen or pretty metallic ones.

Do you like throws/blankets? What color(s)? I love throws and blankets, they're great for curling up with kitties and watching movies. Pink, grey, leopard spotted, their all great!

Do you like more vibrant colors, pastels, or more muted/earth tones? I guess I like more vibrant colors but muted/earth tones are very pretty as well.

Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? Yes Roxie does. We always get her the safety ones with the little bell and loop for all her id!

What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc) - I'm not even going to answer this! lol, It doesn't matter what is on the paper, use what you have left from last year! Roxie is just going to shred it anyway

Some more new questions for everyone!!!!!

Do you prefer bath or shower products? What scents do you like best? I'm a bath person. I love Vaseline Intensive Care Bath Beads. I too would love to try something from Lush. I don't care for tropical scents or vanilla, but pretty much anything else is great.

Do you collect anything (that wasn't mentioned in other replies)? I don't really collect anything.

What kind of toys do your kitties/other animals like to play with best? The laser pointer, milk jug rings, sparkly wand toys, feather wands.

Do you like Christmas ornaments/etc as a present? I'm kind of a curmudgeon, I don't decorate for Christmas anymore. I used to when I had Spooky, but with the three I have now, it would be a disaster! So many light cords for Maggie to chew....YIKES!!!!

More questions!!!!!


Do you like to recieve speciality socks as a gift? What kind (warm fuzzy ones, toe socks, ones with prints on them?). I like thick fuzzy socks that can be worn for slippers. I have pretty small feet, US size 5 EE

Do you like throws/blankets? What color(s)? My livingroom is done in jewel tones of navy, burgandy and hunter. My sunroom is beiges and browns.

Do you like more vibrant colors, pastels, or more muted/earth tones? Jewel tones or earth tones are both fine.

Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? No one wears a collar, but Cleo uses a figure 8 harness when she goes outside with me in the garden. She's about 11 pounds. The other two freak out if I try to put it on them, so they just stay inside and meow at us from the windows.

What color wrapping paper do you like best when someone gives you a gift???? Any kind of themed paper you like best? (snowmen, reindeer, green..etc) I have never thought about theme when receiving gifts...that is totally up to the giver. I really love to go all out when I wrap gifts. I love using special ribbons and add-ons and really love the foil gift wrapping papers.
