What are the best advent calendars for cats?
The best advent calendars for cats are very much like those for people, in that they contain a gift or small treat for each day in December leading up to Christmas. Some also contain a treat for the big day itself.
Treats are usually edible, though some calendars contain cat toys. Unsurprisingly, meat and fish flavours are popular, but some also contain yoghurt and catnip snacks, so it’s down to you which you think Mr Kitty will prefer.
Alternatively, you could invest in a reusable calendar – Not On The High Street and Etsy are good places to look for these.
