What to put in Critter Stockings

At our house, each Christmas each critter gets their own stocking full of goodies.  The contents are something like this:


  • Kitty stockings - each kitty gets a bag of kitty treats and a package of catnip - all my purr pots love catnip.  Ollie gets toys with bells - he loves bells for some reason.  Phoebe gets stuffed toys and pom poms - she loves pom poms.  Aggie and Zoey get a toy as well - usually the ones with ribbons or other dangly things.
  • Ferret stockings - Finn and Theo will get a big toy - they both love bigger toys.  Violet and Madison will get toys that are small and make noise.  Clooney might get a new cow - not to replace the original but to add to the herd.  The boys will get a bag of sticks, Madison will get some ferretone and picky Miss Violet - maybe she will get some yogurt covered pretzels...
  • Nigel stocking - he will get a new stuffed hedgehog, and a jar of dried worms.
  • Emma stocking - Emma will get new toys, treats, and maybe a new collar and leash.
On Christmas morning we get the stockings down and put them on the floor and let the critters check them out.  The ferrets especially enjoy checking out their stuff and everyone elses.... I am excited for Christmas this year....
