Oh Noodles has had the biggest blast with her wand toy. She's miffed at me for putting it away. She was going crazy over it....I already have to sew up the turkey's head!
That's how hard she was playing with that toy!

My SS pmd me, but i won't tell you who it is until the package arrives (pokes customs)



I can tell you Kitekat4eva (Sarah) is my giftee. She got her gifts on time, but has been really busy and doesn't have a camera atm. But i'm sure all the presents have been chewed to bits by the puppies by now and are not photo worthy

It was my SS pressie!

First of all, my SS is..


... Kluchetta! And I worked it out all by myself
It was so exciting to have christmas all over again


Here's the box with Mosi impatient to get into it





I didn't manage to take a picture of everything wrapped up as the boys just got stuck in there trying to unwrap everything and it was chaos
but here's everything unwrapped (please excuse the plate in the pic!)



I got:

a blanket with penguins on it

a cuddly penguin
a 'What cats teach us' calendar
a bar of Hershey's chocolate (long since eaten!)
some penguin bookmarks
a smelly cat candle

a book - The Catsworld Portal (cats and fantasy - right up my street!)
2 pairs of socks (with penguins on them)

Jaffa and Mosi got:

some catnip mice
2 dangly toys
Whiskas temptations

The blanket is gorgeous and very popular with the furries as you can see here



Close up of the blanket




The candle sounds great. I've never seen one like that before. It says it's industrial strength - do you think my SS is trying to tell me something?







And the penguin (sadly, the nearest I'll get to having a pet penguin)



More pics to come...

Jaffa and Mosi were delighted with their toys. Jaffa was rubbing his face against the catnip mice before I'd had a chance to remove them from the cardboard, and this morning Mosi started batting one around and he doesn't usually play with stuff by himself like that. One of the interactive toys is a Tweety Twirler which has real bird sounds! Initially Jaffa was intrigued but Mosi was a little hesitant. Mosi soon got over his unease and by the end of the evening was totally obsessed with it! It was so popular they nearly came to blows over it at one point.



The whiskas temptations went down well too. After giving them one each I sealed the packet and left them on the floor. Mosi ran off with them and I spent ages running around after him trying to get them off him
They were fish flavour and Mosi isn't too keen on fish. Unless they're whiskas temptations apparently!

But of course, the best toy is always the packaging








Thank you, Kluchetta!

There are things addressed to Mooch, things addressed to Noodles, things to both of them, and things to me too!


Be back shortly! (Mooch is already getting into her pile! I hear guilty bells in the other room!
)


Hurrah! At last it got to you!
I got a bit lazy about checking my emails so I`ve only just seen that you got it


Mooch and Noodles look like they would have been happy with just a box!


I`m sooooo pleased and releived that it`s arrived and that you like it

Oh I love everything! And so do the girls! I've got batteries on my grocery list for tonight, so I'm still working on those pics of them playing. I did manage to get a video of Noodles-AKA Kamikaze Kitty playing with the wand toy, so that'll be coming up sometime soon!
You've been a great SS! (Oh and those cookies are sooo good! They are almost gone, but I'm being good now and going easy on em!)

It's hard to say. Linda and I have sent PM's asking some people if they received their gift or not and not everyone is responding.
If they don't reply to the PM, we don't know for sure.

The blanket IS homemade; my daughter made most of it. The blue part is really, really soft! I found the stuffed penguin at a Coca-Cola display at the local supermarket. He was SO cute.

I know that you are not the last one as of right now... My SS is still waiting for hers as well.
But I know that your SS did their best as did I and we (I don't even know who has you!
) just want you all to get your gifts!
