Commercialisation of christmas
 

I once bought pet supplies from a website which specialises in that sort of thing.


I have just been amazed by an email from them trying to persuade me to buy -
"an advent calendar for your pet"


How ridiculous is that? - If anyone thinks it isn't, please advise me how to ask my cat about his religous preferences :rolleyes:

Any of you seen any more examples of such exploitation?

Are there little treats behind each day, like the choccy ones ? :D

Just talk to him

Well I think it's right that he should have an advent calendar - after all he is a Cat-holic.

Although, I suppose he might be Pusslim, Mewish or he might even be Catptist.

Sorry, I'll get my coat!

Kate - chocolate is toxic for cats:eek:
along with onions and garlic amongst other things

Neil - I often do via telepathy, but we don't discuss religion in case it offends him:)

PS own up all those of you who hang up a stocking for your pet:D

No, meant kitty treats not kiddy chocolate treats.

I was in Pets-at-Home last week and noticed they had Xmas stockings for dogs and cats. Even worse were Xmas cards for your pet to send. :rolleyes:

Our cat doesn't know or care about dates on the calendar. When it comes to December 25th she won't give a damn as long as she gets her breakfast and can curl up on a warm bed, upstairs, to sleep all day. We're fond of our cat and she's fond of us but she's a cat, for goodness sake, not a person.
