Yeti has the best ideas at times, especially at Christmas. Did you know, Christmas time can be extremely stressful for your feline friend as well?
You might not know it; but all your shopping, hustling about, attending parties, inviting people over, baking cookies, wrapping gifts; is exhausting for them too. Because they have to adjust to all the sudden change, not to mention the tree invasion!
To help balance everything out; Yeti and I have a perfected a routine, that incorporates a balance of all things KITTY.
If you want a few pointers, here are his personal recommendations:
1. Keep warm, fluffy blankets on the couch at all times.
2. Sit down and enjoy quiet movies that don’t have a lot of flashing, gun shots, explosions or loud noises; think live bird cams, for hours on end.
3. Cat treats alongside cookies on the kitchen counter for easy holiday indulging.
4. A new toy every day leading up to Christmas. (Paper boxes, paper bags, toilet paper rolls, all count!)
5. Don’t invite too many people over – this can cause undue shedding.
6. Don’t forget to clean the litter box!
and 7 (Yeti’s favorite) Take time to cuddle up on the couch, and read a good story… and when good stories come to mind, think Gracie Deforest!
And that brings me back to what’s coming up this month; it’s a little campy, mysterious, and unexpected! I’m just finishing up with the draft now, and Yeti will be proof reading it tomorrow. So fingers crossed; he’ll like the first go through. In all cases, it’ll make a swell read on Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Yeti!
