colly0410 1,181 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Our cat Tiddles has received a Christmas card from Mother-in-laws cat Mr Pickles. I think I've married into a family of lunatics.. :) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 It must be a big cat, to put a Christmas card into the post-box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 With posable thumbs too to write the card? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Talking of pets; I once saw a cartoon featuring a notice in a pet shop window. The notice said, 'Dogs, genetically engineered to die the day after Christmas.' Very sick of course, but I'm afraid I had to laugh, considering the car stickers.

FLY2 10,108 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Saw this sign in the back of a car in Bulwell " A dog is for life not just Friday night" . Brilliant !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 My wife's saying to Tiddles "look what Mr Pickles has sent you" I'm thinking "beam me up Scotty." Tiddles of course couldn't care less, cats have got more sense.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Can your cats unwrap them too? And do they say not handkerchiefs again? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 When we had our Irish Setters they always had Christmas Presents, wrapped and with proper labels, Dog Chews, shaped like a shoe, dog chocolates, Squeaky toys, Pork Scratchings. And they sensed the atmosphere, they would run around barking and be all exited, we made them sit and shake a paw and then just like kids they would tear the present open and you can guess the rest. We always buy our Daughters cats a present, but they never say thank you, just so rude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I said I'd never have a cat: Back in 2006, where we kept the bin used to flood when it rained hard & we put the bin on 4 bricks to raise it up a bit. One night I went to put some rubbish in the bin I heard a noise from underneath, when I shone a torch two yellow eyes were looking back at me. That's how we got Tiddles & I changed my mind about having a cat, mind you she tries to eat us out of house & home.. :) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 My inlaw's send us a card from the dog every year, birthdays, christmas, easter.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Our cats and dogs always had their own stockings under the tree, but I did draw a line at Christmas cards for or from them. Only have a tortoise now and as she semi hibernates over the winter she is not too bothered about whether Santa visits or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 We never send our cats(2) a Christmas card as they have never sent one to us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Is there more glitter on Christmas cards this year? K'in everywhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 My two dogs are included in all the cards I send ( from me and my boys) as are my friends dogs (they are part of the family after all). However they dont receive any cards just to themselves, but my Dogs Trust sponsor dog does send me Christmas cards, birthday cards and a valentine card with a message telling me what he has been up to. Obviously a very educated greyhound! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 My cats get cards and presents from my catty friends. Usually containing treats, it's impossible to hide them until Christmas day. Â The cats down at cat rescue probably think it's Christmas every day...and rightly so!

colly0410 1,181 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 One of our friends has sent Pix (used to be Mother-in-laws cat, we had him when she died 2 years ago) an advent calendar with catnip in each window. He goes berserk for it, lol... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 We've received a card from the Retired Greyhounds Trust depicting two greyhounds kissing under the mistletoe! Very Christmassy! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
