Gifts Your Cat Would Ask For If They Could Speak
Every cat knows they deserve to be spoiled at Christmas. They’ve been adorable all year long and now they’re fully entitled to a personalised catnip mouse toy.
They will gratefully receive your undivided attention on Christmas morning, but they will also require a self-heating snuggle rug, a crochet bow-tie and a fancy gift box full of treats.
If you’d like to reward your feline companion for their continued elegance, here are 13 things they’d put on their wish list if only they could write.
You may expect a rough-tongued lick of thanks, a gentle head nudge and perhaps a look of feline disdain. Miaowy Christmas!
