</header>We participated in <a href="http://secretpaws2016.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Secret Paws</a> for the first time this year and unfortunately (through no fault of our wonderful Secret Paws gift-giver <a href="http://pawesomecats.com/" target="_blank">Pawesome Cats</a>—
the gifts were coming all the way from Australia! It says on the
package they were mailed end of Nov on one part of the package and the
other says…get this…Sept 9, <b>2015</b>…I think the Australian
postal service might need some help…either that or they have the
ability to go back in time!!) they arrived just a teensy, weensy, itsy
bit late. But the wait was worth it! See for yourself…Yeah Christmas in
March!<br />

<br />
AMARULA: Well I will admit the gifts were beautifully wrapped and
came with a lovely card (again, shamefully addressed to Zulu and Frodo
as well as myself. I mean really…I don’t even think those two can even
read!) It says “Wishing you a happy Christ-mouse from the Pawesome Cats
Charlie, Max, Ava, Amber and Mom Tracy!”<br />

AMARULA: Of course, fatty Frodo also tried to steal all the Kangaroo
treats but I put a stop to that! I have never seen these giant mice
called “Kangaroos” but I can indeed attest to their deliciousness!
(Seriously we loved them so much that I saw the human checking to see if
they –or any form of kangaroo treat– is available in Canada and sadly
they are not!!). As soon as we get our feline passports we are all
flying down to Australia to thank you personally Pawesome Cats–make sure
to have lots of those giant hopping mice treats in supply!<br />
<br />

I am a VERY special poodle to be accepted into this group. Considering I talk about Molly Mew and Dae Dae so much and share many photos, the cat bloggers decided I was fit to be in their group.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trust me, it isn't easy to be accepted and especially when you are a <b>DOG</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
I had to promise not to chase them and they had to promise not to claw or bite me. We came together in unison and I have been thrilled. I have learned so much about cats and how they think.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has to make me the <b>WORLD's SMARTEST POODALE</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Every year they have a gift exchange between them. Paula from <a href="http://sweetpurrfections.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Perfections</a>, organizes it every year. Names are drawn and no one knows who their Santa Paws is until they get your package. This was the first time we have participated in this activity. I thought it would be fun to send gifts to a kitty or kitties that maybe I didn't know. Shopping for kitties is always fun. I think they have the best toys,treats, and food. Ma says I am not supposed to eat the food but if I don't get caught eating it, I stay out of trouble.<br />
<a name='more'></a>DaeDae and Molly Mew's name was given to <a href="http://hairballsandhissyfits.com/" target="_blank"><b>Hairballs and Hissyfits</b></a>. They live in <b>CANADA</b>! I couldn't wait to see what they got from Canada, neither could DaeDae. He went to town sniffing that package. I didn't think ma would ever open it. As happy as he was with the outside, I could only imagine the inside was even better. I can't describe the thrill that DaeDae had. Did you know this iDae Dae's FIRST CHRISTMAS?!!? A present with his name on it sent him over the top in excitement.<br />

I could tell you how happy Molly Mew was to get her presents but I won't. I will let you watch for yourself. Ma started the camera as soon as she got the package in the house. </div>

Thank you HairBalls and HissyFits for including us in the festivities. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you, Paula for taking time to put together the Secret Santa activities. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have had a lot of fun with this and look forward to seeing what all my kitty friends get for Christmas. Their parents/humans/staff made them put them under the tree for the big day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately with a 7-month-old kitten in the house, there could be no waiting. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #404040;">Sophie here!</span><span style="color: #404040;"> The Mama finally let us open our Secret Paws presents. We had been sniffing the box and wrapped presents for what seemed like ages. And when we finally got </span>at <span style="color: #404040;">‘em, we weren’t disappointed.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #404040;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We would like to say a very big thank you to our new kitty friend Samantha and her mom Chandra from <a href="http://jcfloresinc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Life from a Cat’s Perspective</a> for picking out the awesome toys and treats!</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #404040;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with lots of love (and catnip)!</span></span></div>

<br />
You read right. This little ghetto kitteh is thankful for three Sphynx cats from Canada. Over the past six months I've been following <a href="http://dragonheartsdomain.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Merlin, Dragonheart and Devi</a> and you should too. I've been participating in Secret Paws for the last four years and have gotten some wonderful prezzies. This year was no exception.<br />
<br />
I could tell this package was put together with love. Everything was either made in Canada where they live or handmade except the treats. They really know how to make a cat feel special. There was a beautiful Christmas card and letter explaining what everything was. Their human mom is very talented. She crocheted a wash cloth and soap saver for TW (left in the above photo) and some toys and a super cool mat for me. We love the Christmasy yarn the toys and TW's gifts are made with. Some of the cat toys were bought locally by their home and they also included some Ludwig Spice Noel Canadian dark chocolate for TW and Pop which was quickly devoured. My peeps said it was delicious and thank you.<br />

<br />
There aren't many pics of how nicely the prezzies were wrapped cos Pop tore into everything without rhyme or reason. This image of several of the packages is a video still. I am biting Pop because he wants to unwrap one of the packages.<br />

The crocheted chain was a yuge hit with this kitteh as was the Greenies Smartbites! Here's a little slideshow with some of the pics and video TW took of me in action. We know how much they like scrapbooking so we picked a theme that we thought they'd like. I don't go for wand toys but strings are among my fave toys. TW hides them unless she's around to play with me which isn't often enough for my liking.<br />

TW put the mat on the chair next to Pop's chair cos I love to keep Pop company while he reads the paper or checks out his Facebook page.<br />

Thank you to Mom Paula of <a href="http://sweetpurrfections.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sweet Purrfections</a> for doing the heavy lifting to get Secret Paws up and running and for matching me with the cats at <a href="http://dragonheartsdomain.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chat Aux Sphynx</a>. Thanks to Devi, Dragonheart, Merlin and their talented Mom C. who must want to remain anonymous.<br />

Our Secret Santa Paws package arrived in early December. This here human wanted to wait until closer to Christmas to open it. Patience is a virtue, after all. The furbabies protested, but I won out. At least, until I ran out of places to hide the box from a certain little kitty girl (ahem, Thimble).<br />
<br />
That being the case, we opened our package from our Secret Santa Paws a week before Christmas. So, why are we just now posting about it here? Because this human has some faulty wiring in her brain. I'm sorry, I'm human, what can I say. Over on our blog we made an entire week of posts about our fantastic gifts from our Secret Santa Paws (because there are just that many goodies!), but now we'll post about it here.<br />
<br />
First and foremost, who was our Secret Santa Paws? None other than <a href="http://dionjean.blogspot.com/">Jean</a> and her furbabies! And, let us tell you, they did the most pawesome job selecting gifts for our entire crew here!<br />

The first furbaby to open their gift was actually pup Astrid. (Even though this was technically a gift exchange for kitties, Astrid indeed got a gift of her very own!)<br />

<br />
The reason why Astrid got to open her gift first is evidenced above. She immediately sniffed out her gift and stole it from the box of goodies. That being said, it was delicious and she loved it (even if she did have to pose for a picture with it first)!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then the kitties got their turns. They hit the payload with their gifts, that's for sure!<br />

Evan got some new cat grass, and he cannot wait to enjoy it. He even said he'd share with the other kitties. You see, by no fault of their own, the last time they had cat grass, it didn't survive. A certain human forgot to water it, but that is water under the bridge now, right? More importantly, that won't happen to this new cat grass!<br />
<br />
On top of the cat grass, Evan got another gift near and dear to his heart.<br />

Isn't it too cute? I am always so fond of handmade gifts, and this is perfect. And even just look at the lovely box it came in. Thank you, Jean!<br />

This was actually our very first year to participate in Secret Paws. Let's suffice it to say, we'll be doing it again next year, and every year after that!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was so excited to be playing in the Secret Paws game this year for the first time! Angel kitty William did it for several years and always got really great gifts, so I just had to do it too. My gifts came from some kitties that I hadn't really met before. LL had heard of them, but hadn't checked them out until receiving the package and then going to their blog at <a href="http://www.catsherdyou.com%20/">www.catsherdyou.com </a>. Pierre, Newton and Ashton are really cool and they have a great photographer! We are so pleased to meet you guys and will definitely be adding you to our reading list. That is one of the really neat parts of this game, you never know who your gifts will come from and usually you find a fun new friend and blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On to the prezzints!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I sat by this box for like 2 weeks or something, it got here way before Christmas, but LL wouldn't let me open it until the big day. All that time I could smell something good in there.</span><br />

Once again we pawticipated in the <a data-mce-href="http://secretpaws2016.blogspot.com/2016/" href="http://secretpaws2016.blogspot.com/2016/">Secret Paws</a> gift exchange organized by Truffle and Brûlée and Mom Paula. We really appreciate all their hard work in setting this up each year.</div>
</div>
Our gifts this year came all the way from the U.K. and the <a data-mce-href="https://katzenworld.co.uk/" href="https://katzenworld.co.uk/">Katzenworld</a> gang. The box was chock full of toys from their shop as well as a super cute “Oliver, Nubia & Snowball” mug for mom.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Most of the toys are filled with either catnip or valerian. We have not had valerian before so we will have a new experience playing with these toys. We let you know what we think in a future post.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Of course, not all of us showed up for the opening ceremony. But those who didn't (Giulietta, Astrid and Lisbeth) will get plenty of opportunity to try out and play with all the goodies.</div>

Mauricio really enjoyed the gingerbread man with valerian. And he's already taken one of the big grey mousies upstair for some night-time play. Only the best toys get dragged from one floor to another!</div>

Of course, Mom did not open all the toys for us. Even with seven Kitties Blue, it would be too much all at once. We know she'll be doling them out over the next few months.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Sorry our photos are sort of blurry. It's hard to sit still when kitty stimulants are involved!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
All of us are sending great big kitty kisses and a huge T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U to Oliver, Nubia and their humans for the terrific gifts.</div>

The first package Mommy helped me open contained this unbelievably beautiful Christmas kitty blankie and Mommy's eyes started to leak! It meant even more when she found out that the Furkids' mom, Miss Sharon, made the blanket for us herself! Now that is a gift straight from the heart and filled with love, and we will never forget her kindness. I predict lots of cold winter nights cuddling with my new blanket! </div>

In case you had any doubts that this package was customized for us in every way...check out the pawsome tortie tea towel!!! Mommy will be hanging this in our kitchen and I have a strong feeling it will never be used for it's intended purpose!</div>

And remember the aforementioned blankie? After we finished opening our Secret Paws prezzies and needed a break Mommy laid it on her lap and I immediately hopped up and took a snooze. It's the warmest and coziest nap spot ever, and will be used as our "couch cuddling" blanket from here on out. (On Christmas Eve Mommy sat down to read at 11 PM and you know what time I let her get up to go to bed? 2:30 AM!!! She just didn't have the heart to put me down, even though she kept warning me that Santa was going to catch us!)</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Every year the cat blogging world comes together to celebrate the holiday season with a very fun gift exchange called Secret Paws. The Farm cats look forward to it every year for they both like to give and to receive. This year they sent their package to a first time participant in the fun, <a href="http://dionjean.blogspot.com/2016/12/secret-paws-perfect-cat-gifts-for.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Welcome to the Menagerie</a>. The Farm cats were very excited to learn that the cats there really liked their presents.

I was excited when the box arrived because truth be told I needed a smile. The hubby had been away for over a week and it's always a bit lonely for me so getting a package full of fun was good.
The first thing I opened was one of Quint's beautiful paintings! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It almost looks like the view out my window doesn't it? Quint must have known how much I like trees - and they look like they have a touch of snow on them.
I've put it on a shelf with some of my favorites until I can get a frame for it. That way I can look up and see it any time I need a smile. Thank you Quint, I love it.

I've never had any of these to use in playing with the cats in spite of all of the stories I've read online. He wasn't sure at first - he needed to give them a good sniff - but was soon whappin' and biting and having a grand ole time with them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The stuff it yourself mousie was a big hit with Sherpa. He meowed that is was some really good 'nip! I heard some noises a little later in the evening, I turned around and that mousie was <em>flying</em> through the air at my head level. So this is definitely a hit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stinky the Farm cat has taken one of the poofy tailed mousies for herself. I have not seen it since. I suspect it will show up the next time I sweep under the couch. Silly Stinky! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There were also some tasty treats for me in the box. Mmmmm, Macadamia nut turtles and minty Hershey Kisses.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was not the only one to receive tasty treats. A certain Tuxedo Farm cat was sent his heart's desire. We all know by now of Harry's <strike>additction</strike> love of Temptations and the Colehaus Cats sent him a

He is one happy Farm cat. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are even a couple of flavors he has not tried before. Needless to say Harry is in a state of bliss.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; line-height: 18.48px;">The names of your Secret Paw will be emailed to you by Monday night. If you don't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; line-height: 18.48px;">receive your name(s) by Tuesday morning (November 22), please email us immediately so we can take care of this. We thought we'd post a few hints and reminders about participating in Secret Paws.</span></span><br />
<ol style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 18.48px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Visit your secret paws blog to get to know a little about them. If they don't have a blog, read comments in the email you received to learn a more about your special kitty.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Double check the address in your email to make sure it's a valid address. You may want to look it up on the Internet to verify it. If it's not valid, email us and we'll contact your kitty.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Check deadlines for shipping with the post office, Fed Ex, UPS, etc., especially if you are shipping to another country. <u><i>We have a tab at the top of this page about shipping deadlines.</i></u></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>We strongly recommend shipping your package using Priority Shipping in order to have a tracking number and insurance.</b></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Be sure to include a card inside your package to identify who you are with your email and/or blog address so your secret paw can thank you.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Review the likes and dislikes of the kitties from your email. Some of the kitties have allergies and we'd hate them to get something that would make them sick.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Feel free to drop in a little surprise for the human. They always like chocolate, notepads, and other special items.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Consider wrapping each item in holiday wrap. Many of the kitties have expressed they like this.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of the kitties have woofies and other fur children in their houses. This is an exchange for kitties, but if you feel comfortable sending something to the other species, please feel free to do so.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Please accept the "author request" to post on this blog. If you can't find the email request, please let us know and we'll send it again.</span></li>
