When it comes to the holidays, my cats are always part of the fun. It starts with the joy of putting up my Christmas tree. What should probably take about half an hour usually ends up taking over an hour because my cats have to immediately play on the tree branches as I put them up. My husband purchased an extremely sturdy and heavy tree for this very reason.
I love the fact my cats play in the tree even after it’s all decorated. I decorate the tree specifically with them in mind. Jingle balls go on the lower branches so their little paws can play with them, while the more delicate ornaments are at the very top of the tree. I believe it is essential to treat your pet this holiday as they just want to be part of all the fun. After all, they would help if they could, which is why we should treat them throughout this holiday season!
Treat Your Pet This Holiday
Let them enjoy the Christmas tree. I realize that most won’t be enthusiastic about their cat in their Christmas tree. However, decorating your tree so that your pet can enjoy a few fun lower hanging ornaments will prove a good alternative! Since the holidays are a time when we humans get to enjoy treats, we need to remember this is an important experience for our pets as well!
Decorate in pet-friendly fashion. For me, I like to go with non-breakable decorations for around the home. It is much safer for you and your pet. Plus, kitty can bat at stuff and not have to worry about breaking glass. This is also a good idea since I have children in the home! There’s many ways to show our pets we care throughout the year and one great way is by purchasing them tasty treats.
Keep the Elf high on the shelf! We are a family who loves our Elf on the Shelf, Chippy. Since I have cats and a 2-year-old, it’s super important to keep the elf high up so little hands or little paws don’t investigate. After the kids go to bed, your elf can visit his furry friends safely if they are super curious!
Pet treats are a great way to bond with our pets and show them how much we care, so why not bring out the tasty treats and have a sit down with the Elf. The kids will especially love to see their pets included in this fun tradition!
Wrapping paper is playtime fabulous! The moment the wrapping paper comes out, your pet is right there ready for action. The crinkling sound is just far too tempting to ignore after all. Cut out a large piece of wrapping paper and lay it on the floor for your pet to enjoy. You can also wad it up into a ball and give your pet even more playtime fun.
Give them some holiday treats! Nothing says treat your pet quite like the allure of delicious cat treats! Show your pets how much you love them by treating them throughout the holiday season! My cats go nuts over Temptations Cat Treats and so will yours!
They enjoy all the delicious flavours and they know the sound of me shaking the bag like nothing else. The moment they hear the bag, they rush up the stairs ready for some delicious goodies!
Silvia D says
I totally relate to your post! Our cats (4 of them) love the tree , we put unbreakables and jingle bells on the bottom! Our oldest cat loves to sleep on the wrapped packages! We adopted a new kitten recently and will be fun to see her reactions to everything! (my daughter has made an advent calender full of Temptations Cat Treats for the cats, had first ones this morning!
Kristen says
Oh my goodness …a Advent Calendar of Temptations Cat Treats … THAT is AWESOME Silvia. SERIOUSLY BRILLIANT! I will have to try that one for my cats as well! If you have a photo, I would LOVE to see it!!!!!!
