If you need help with what to buy once getting your name and seeing the hints, you can post more questions here. If the person you are buying for does not answer the questions, you can PM one of our snooping santas to ask them to post. The snoopers are here to help you.

ETA - for those of you that don't have the time to answer all at once, the questions are broken up into categories so it will be easier to answer sections at a time.

How many animals do you have? What kind (cats, dogs, etc!) Tell us a little about their favorite toys/treats! 8 cats: Shareena, Miss Patchwillow, Goldy, Iris, Cali, Merlin, Hercules, and Gavin. They mostly play with the little glitter balls, hair elastics, and laser pointers. Other toys end up in a black hole somewhere.
Does your pet (s) have any allergies to certain foods/treats that should be avoided? I don’t give them anything with dyes or artificial coloring. Merlin is the only one who likes treats. He goes crazy over the Petrodex dental treats (which he doesn’t need any more because he has no teeth) and freeze-dried chicken or beef.
Are there any kind of cat toys that should be avoided? (i.e. feathers, string, noisy toys that scare kitty...) No
Do your kitties wear collars? No If so what kind?
What kind(s) of brush or comb do you have for your cats and/or dogs? Furminator
Do your cats like catnip, valerian, or honeysuckle? Most of them don’t seem to care about catnip (Shareena is a mean drunk so she doesn’t get catnip any more). Haven’t tried the others. They do go crazy over peppermint.
