PETS

How many animals do you have? What kind (cats, dogs, etc!) Tell us a little about their favorite toys/treats!
Cats:
Stumpy (age 16) likes crunchy treats but doesn't really play with toys anymore
Pinky (age 11) likes soft treats and enjoys catnip and wand toys
Scarlett (age 10) doesn't lower herself to eat cat treats and her favorite toy is crumpled paper. Her preferences are with human items that she can steal.
Lucky (age 8) doesn't eat treats and likes catnip toys
Muddy (age 8) not picky about treats (no fish) and will play with just about anything
Koko (age 8) not picky about treats and loves interactive toys
Spanky (age 8) not picky about treats and loves laser pointers

Dogs:
Sam and Spike (age 7) and Lola (age 3) are large dogs (70-90 pounds) and love anything with liver or bacon in it. They prefer to play with their humans over toys. Lola has an oral fixation which is usually satisfied with sticks.

Does your pet (s) have any allergies to certain foods/treats that should be avoided? Muddy cannot have fish in any way, shape or form, therefore no one in the house gets it (he might steal from them)
Are there any kind of cat toys that should be avoided? (i.e. feathers, string, noisy toys that scare kitty...) my dog Lola can't help eating any cat toy with feather attached to them, therefore feather toys must be interactive with me. Nothing with jingle bells for the same reason.
Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? Dogs wear them, cats do not
What kind(s) of brush or comb do you have for your cats and/or dogs? (just about everything available. 3 long haired cats and 2 long haired dogs here
Do your cats like catnip, valerian, or honeysuckle? yes

It's helpful. The more thorough you are, the easier it is for your Santa to shop for you. If you look through mine, I ramble on about my home decor for a bit, but when asked about specifics, I just say 'see above' instead of repeating...

but it does help, trust me... answer as much as you possibly can. Say you're like me and don't like white chocolate... you specify that you prefer a certain kind, and that you don't like other kinds... then your Santa knows not to give you that kind. Also good for other things... the more your Santa knows, the easier it is to not mess up.
