My cats have stockings, and I plan to fill them with their favorite grain-free treats and toys. I am also ordering a cat tree for them online. Do I need to seek psychiatric help for crazy cat lady syndrome, or is this a normal thing to do?

Do you buy your cats Christmas presents?

I think you're fine. I've been known to WRAP presents for the kitties
.
I don't wrap kitty presents, but they do go into a personalized stocking.
I'm a bit mean, the wrapping off my presents transforms in to his presents. Most people who know me wrap my gifts with him in mind so he gets lovely thick paper bags to jump in to, bits of curly ribbon, and lots of crinkly paper rolled up in balls. Some of my family have bought him little toys which is sweet. I know he prefers the bags and boxes and I think they are cottoning on to this so the toys may come to an end.
Now we have Molly, Travis, Hannah and Jake with us. I don't have time to make stockings this year so I had to buy four new ones at the craft store. I just won't tell the cats they're not getting handmade ones.

I would love to buy a cat tree for Bella & Thunder this Christmas if I can .
I did buy my kitties gifts this year. I gave them 2 already and the 3rd will be at Christmas.
I bought them a sissle scratch matt, and also a large pressed cardboard scratch box. The one being kept for Christmas is a new stainless steel water fountain. My vet suggested getting rid of the plastic PetMate because it might be contributing to Spencer's allergies.

Really? Because of bacteria or something? I use plastic water fountains.
She didn't say and I didn't ask. But my boy has had problems with his mouth. He had a 2 week antibiotic injection 3 or 4 times and I switched him and his sisters to a special allergy diet. I couldn't switch just him because I free feed dry between wet meals, and none of them are big eaters and prefer to nibble through the day. She just said that it is best to use stainless steel or ceramic dishes instead of plastic for both water and food.

So now they have ceramic plates and bowls, and a couple of ceramic water bowls around the apartment. But they miss the fountain.
I would if I had more money. I may hang a stocking for him this year and get him a little toy or something. A new type of treat. I don't know. My kids would really enjoy him having a stocking with something in it!
And the stockings were hung on the railing with care.....
while Muffin starts searching for whatever is in there.
She's at the wrong end; her stocking is to the right, next to Tabby's. You can't see it. I'm not done decorating the railing yet....we wrap garland around the wire. But since she was there, I thought I'd go ahead and take the picture.
The stockings are: Rick's, mine, BooBoo's, Ms. Pepe's, Bootser's, Amber's, Mollipop's, Tabby's (who is getting a large lump of coal this year!), and Muffin's stocking can't be seen, but it's there, too. I'll take a picture when the railing is decorated.
We started buying larger stockings for the kids when Mollipop came into the house. Molli's, Tabby's, and Muffin's stockings have their names on them.
They have cans of cat food and a bag of treats. And they need some nip....they haven't had any catnip for a while now, so that's on their list, too. And they're getting a new Da Bird....it should be here in a few days, but they won't open it til Christmas.

Our cats have always got presents, and we put treats in the paper to try and make them open them themselves...sometimes it works Billy already found his present (catnip mice) this year though...bad cat. I feel bad I won't be with Lucia over (her first) Christmas so I'm going to go crazy in the pet shops back home to see what I can get her that I can't buy here...

This will be my younger cat's first Christmas (he was born in March), so I would like to make it special for him--even
though he will have no clue what is going on. I would also like to give my other cat presents to make up bringing another kitty into her space (even though she seems to love him now). I know I am sounding crazier by the minute!

Welcome to the club, Tabbysia! You do realize that hanging out with people who talk about what they give their cats for Christmas is more than enough to put you on the crazy list in some circles.....

Well, I was going to get Robbie a Petmate ... *scratches head*
Last Christmas both our gifts was a move to a lovely apartment far from the yukky house I'd been renting. He also tore down every last felt icicle on my windows . He's too fat for that this year. But a cat condo would be nice.

Cats are known to have or develop allergies to plastic. And plastic also makes the taste and smell of water yucky. That's why ceramic and stainless steel is recommended better!
