    My boyfriend got our cat an early christmas present of a giant scratching post its got four levels and a little house but our cat doesn't seem too keen on it. She's used the bottom part and climbed up when i've left food on it. Anyone have any tips on how to encourage her to use it? I've left it beside the radiator where she likes to sleep

    I used to use catnip spray to get my cat used to new things like that - think I got it in Tescos?

    I agree with tk about the catnip, but I would go for dried leaves rather than the spray, its more enticing :) you can get them in most good pet shops or online!

    Jessie's secret Santa got her a lovely bandanna and I think I'm addicted. :D I got Henry one in Maxizoo this morning but their selection was woeful. Any recommendations on where to get nice ones online?

    And are bandanna addictions common?

    LOL! Yeah our cat had one ..we got the pup after he died and first shopping trip for the impending puppy and there was poor Doug's collar in dog sizes like it was a sign lol so got it for the pup...3 years on and he's always had one on! :). We got some from this ebay shop recently - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/premier_dog_bandanas/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 and also from http://thehandcraftbarn.co.uk/dog-bandanas.

    Merry Christmas everybody. We've an extra mouth at the table tomorrow (well an extra mouth in the crate:D). Took in an injured foster today. A little terrier cross that was hit by a bus and has a broken pelvis:(. Bus didn't stop :eek: but a passer by did and brought him to the vets who contacted the local rescue. So he's here on crate rest, painkillers, antibiotics and tlc for the next few days.

    Had my first food coma after breakfast, passed out on the couch and woke up covered in cats! Was utterly hilarious this morning giving them their presents, cream licked it so much the wrapping paper melted off and peachy bunny kicked hers till the wrapping paper was in ribbons then the 2 of them got extremely stoned and cream spent the next half an hour determined to kill my bunch of flowers! Hope everyone's day is going great so far. :D

    Happy Christmas everyone! Its my first Christmas without my dog Jake. It was very quiet when we were opening our presents earlier without the excited barking and ripping of paper, but he was here in spirit :) We miss you Jakey x

    My 2 came up to the kennel with me earlier so are wrecked. They are full of turkey bits and veggies and panned out in front of the fire on a duvet. Pair of little fat auldfellas :)

    Dinner will be ready in about an hour then we'll drag ourselves out for another walk.

    I don't mind cooking Christmas dinner (although if I think too much about it I feel sorry for the turkeys) but I hate all the tidying that goes along with it.

    :( I had a drain in my neck when I had my thyroid op... It's a bit gross having a container/bag of goo clipped to you and carrying it to the loo etc but it makes a huge difference for swelling and brushing and healing the wound. The second mine came out I asked to go home lol! :p
