Christmas Gifts for a Crazy Cat Lady or Crazy Cat Dude

With Christmas just around the corner, I have been looking for crimbo presents online.  Now, being a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady (and proud of it) I like to buy cat themed presents (of course!).  I buy them for everybody - whether they are a cat fan or not! :-)

I have found some crackers (excuse the pun) and so I thought it would only be fair to share these discoveries with you....enjoy!

Crazy Cat Lady T-Shirt - Simple, stylish (some might say), and available in lots of lovely colours!

Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure - Now, I can't find this for sale in the UK BUT it has to be worth paying for shipping from the USA, no?

Crazy Cat Dude Mug - This time, it is one for the boys.  A cool and stylish mug, what's not to like?

Cat Scarf - You know those days when it is cold outside and you don't want to go out, you just want to stay at home and snuggle up with pusscat on the sofa?  Well now, you can have a cat scarf to wrap around you and keep you warm until you are back home with puss (I did tell you I am a crazy cat lady)

Cat Badges-  I adore the cat badges on the Doodlecats website, they are so cute and brighten up any top or bag.  They would make a great stocking filler or even a cracker filler!  Beware all my friends who are owned by cats....you will receive one of these this Christmas! Doodlecats

So that's my run down on great gifts for cat lovers - I would love to see your suggestions!

Cats are GREAT pets - here's why....

Many people I know, do not understand my obsession with all things feline and the other day, someone actually asked me - what is so great about having a cat?  Well I was completely shocked I can tell you so I have pulled together some reasons why cats make great pets....

They are Self-Cleaning – Cats are very clean animals which do not need regular bathing.  If they go out and get all muddy (which is unlikely) they will deal with it themselves.  However, long haired cats do need daily grooming and even short haired cats enjoy being groomed – it’s a lovely bonding experience.

They are True Family Pets – Quite often people say that cats are aloof and unfriendly but that is not true!  Cats can be very happy in families with other cats, dogs and children.  Some cats respond really well to training too.... but not my cat Melly.  Check out this video...

Unlike many pets, they are Not High Maintenance – Most cats are very low maintenance… they can be left for a few hours a day and they don’t need walking BUT that is not to say you don’t need to devote time to your fur baby.  They need fuss and attention (mostly on their terms) and, if they are an indoor cat, they do like a very, very clean litter box!  

They are Calming – The sound of a purring cat is literally second to none when it comes to relaxing me.  A pussycat, purring on my lap can send me to sleep in a matter of minutes!  Also, a recent study by University of Minnesota say that owning a cat can reduce your risk of a heart attack by nearly a third!

They are Playful – Cats are super playful, from kittens to the geriatrics of the cat world….cats just love to play.  Cats will amuse themselves for a long time with random objects such as string, balls, laser pointers or pretty much anything and watching a cat play can be very entertaining.  Getting involved and playing with a cat can be very fun and relaxing for you, as well as stimulating for the cat and is a brilliant way for you to bond. 

So all of you feline fans, what have I missed?
