Vaya gets her customary three foot chew toy and extra treats. This year, [she got an ugly Christmas sweater too](http://imgur.com/a/6zWzREC). ---

I love threads like this, because it reminds me of a coworker that spent $175 on a huge, fancy, cat tree and then complained because his cat just sits in the box it came in. ---

> [@Buttercup\_Smith](#): > > Yes. The cat got toys and the dog got treats and a new bottle of shampoo plus we are having turkey only because the dog loves it so. You haven’t tried turkey on the cat? My aunt and uncle had a cat who _loved_ turkey. and would demand a dishful every Thanksgiving and Christmas. If they ate at someone else’s house for the feast, they had to bring back some because he could smell it in the neighborhood and would go on a hunger strike until he got his. All it took was one dose and he’d go back to his regular feed, but he wanted his turkey, dammit! ---

Not usually but I used to long ago I did make a primitive small quilt for my cousin’s cat. It came out pretty good. Has a built in pillow! Cant wait for her to see it! ---

I do a late christmas for my dog, as all the christmas stuff is on deep discount at the pet stores the week after christmas. She’s not very good at reading a calendar, so it is easy to fool her ---
