			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><img src="http://www.cat-pause.com/images/MerryChristmas_Cat.jpg" alt="Merry Christmas!"></center></p>
<p>Well, of course we cat lovers give gifts to our feline babies.  If you think about it, we see them more during the year than we do most people in our own family.  Theyr&#8217;e always there for us, they never criticize what we wear, they think we&#8217;re the best cooks on earth, and they make our world light up with just one purr.  We love to buy things for them all year, but at Christmas time, it seems even sweeter. </p>
<p><strong>Consider the following great tips and ideas from <a href="http://www.catage.com/" target="blank">Cat Age</a>:</strong></p>
<p>Toys and treats: Stuff a stocking with catnip-filled toys and a few healthful treats. Your pet will love digging them out. Choose indestructible toys with no bells, baubles, or strings he can bite off and choke on. If in doubt about a toy&#8217;s safety, supervise during playtime. </p>
<p>Warm and snuggly: Wrap a padded plush bed in crinkly paper that kitty can tear into. The paper will entertain him for hours, and the bed will keep him cozy all winter. </p>
<p>Playground accessories: Keep his life interesting with cat climbers, scratchers, tunnels, and laser pointers. </p>
<p>At Prissy&#8217;s age, Christmas is just like any other day.  As long as she has her food, her extra large pillow bed, plenty of chin scratching, and fresh water &#8211; she&#8217;s a tiny, purring, ridiculously happy 20 year old cat.  Svenn and Bo love when Christmas season first arrives because they love sorting through the garage with me as we find all the santas, snowmen, trees, lights, etc.  Truth be told, they aren&#8217;t a lot of help, but the company couldn&#8217;t be sweeter.  Or cuter.</p>
<p>Alexa gets the most excited about Christmas though.  Her splint is off her leg now and she&#8217;s getting around perfectly well.  Every now and then, she&#8217;ll favor the leg &#8211; but I&#8217;m just so thankful my little girl&#8217;s back to her normal, enjoyable routines.  She has assumed her rightful place in front of me on my computer desk and, somehow, all feels right with the world again.</p>
<p>One of the first things she wanted to do first (after being set free from her doggie kennel cage and splint) was explore the Christmas tree and presents.  Last night, my husband and I were watching a few dvds.  During the first one, she kept walking around on top of the presents and gift bags &#8211; swatting, chewing, and examining.  Apparently, the second movie was more to her liking (She&#8217;s a Vin Diesel fan.) because she got on the couch beside my husband and watched with us.</p>
<p>In Prissy&#8217;s younger days, she would actually climb the Christmas tree, knocking ornaments and bows down along the way. I had to watch that girl 24/7 to make sure she didn&#8217;t hurt herself.  Fortunately, Alexa (who&#8217;s weight would make things especially disasterous) seems content with staying on the ground.</p>
<p>I hope you, your furry babies and the rest of your family are enjoying every single magical second of Christmas!  There&#8217;s really nothing quite like it.</p>

<p>My evening on the cold, hard floor a few nights ago made me think a lot about a cat&#8217;s comfort. Prissy&#8217;s days of lying on the couch and beds, because of her blindness and age, are a thing of the past. Not only does it seem to bring her discomfort to jump &#8211; I&#8217;m scared to death she&#8217;d fall. So I&#8217;ve created her a plush, pillowy bed in the kitchen near her food. I&#8217;ve actually created a little bedroom for her, with walls, pillows, and a stuffed Bugs Bunny (she loves him muchly &#8211; Emily says it&#8217;s her boyfriend, the strong silent type).</p>
<p>I think we should all put ourselves in our pet&#8217;s place. We should ask ourselves how we&#8217;d want to be treated if we were the pet &#8211; what sort of bed would we want to sleep in (warm, clean, safe, and soft), what sort of water would we want to drink (always fresh, please!), etc.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll notice that I post a great deal about pet beds on this blog. That&#8217;s because I believe every pet should have a wonderful, soft bed &#8211; especially older pets, since they spend SO much time there! Plus, their little bodies can be full of aches, so the softer, plusher, and warmer this bed is, the more comfortable they&#8217;ll be.</p>
<p><a onmouseover="window.status='http://cj.shop.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/c4106shqnhp4755ADAE4659C6B6A?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcj.shop.com%2FThe_Heated_Cat_Bed_-46137889-60460602-p%21.shtml%3Fsourceid%3D23&amp;cjsku=60460602" target="_blank">The Heated Cat Bed</a> you see pictured above is an answer to a cat&#8217;s prayers. Recommended by veterinarians, this comfortable and therapeutic bed for cats is gently heated to soothe older pets and those with physical conditions such as arthritis.</p>
<p>The bed stays at a constant 102 deg F, which is the bed temperature suitable for most pets. The 4-watt heater has two intelligent thermostats that sense and maintain the bed&#8217;s optimal temperature. The soft micro suede cover is removable and washable; lined interior is coral fabric to evenly distribute warmth, with a cushioned orthopedic polyurethane foam base.</p>
