What a score!
You got some lovely gifts.
What is that green cat thing - toy or ornament? It looks cute. I love the shot of Cleo investigating the tissue paper.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you haven't received anything yet, have you (other than the wreath)? I think your SS wants to make you suffer as well.

The cats LOVE their new toys! Pepper already ripped the tail off of his mouse and Petunia has claimed both the butterfly and the banana. Thank you SO MUCH Linda-- you don't know how much you made my Christmas! I would post pics but for some reason I am having trouble right now so i will try some other time.
Great!
Hope you can get pics.

I noticed that Alleygirl got a Cat Dancer.

If you haven't ever tried a Cat Dancer on your cat, you would be amazed at how much they love it. It doesn't look like much. Someone gave one to me once and I thought, "yeah, right". Koko actually starts to drool when I pull it out of the drawer to play with her. You couldn't find them for a long time, but I think they carry them at Petsmart now.

(yes, I tried to make them but couldn't find the right wire)

DH and I are trying to figure out how and when we can get to the post office to pick it up. It may not be today unfortunately!
That's why I put a note on my door to leave any packages at our leasing office. We're also waiting for 2 gifts for family to arrive.

It's about the only toy that Frankie acts kitten like with. The design is super simply and equally effective!

We staple ours to the cat trees. I have 4 all over the house on different trees and they are a favorite of Takoda and Magnum.

Yet another reason for me to buy the kids a nice tree.

They do & the best part is that they are attatched to the blanket & it makes Jordan even more crazy that he can't get the bird off and run away with it.

Riley and Xander absolutely love it! I wasn't sure how they would react since its such a simple thing, but they go almost as nuts for it as Da Bird!

Chestnut (the only one of my kitties I had last xmas) got the cat dancer last year as a gift, but they all LOVE IT! I have to find a new one, they have totally destroyed the one I have! Not to mention its the only toy Chestnut will play with!

I got my package! I got my package!


I've already opened it and love absolutely everything! I'm 99.9% sure I know who my SS is, but sent her a PM just to make sure. This couldn't have come at a better time. Work has been insanely busy the past 2 days, and I haven't been able to take a lunch; I've been that busy (but I get extra hours so that's okay). But, this came at the perfect time.

I've got pictures and a video I will post later. Namine was going nutso over one of the toys, and I had to take a video.
