Caturday “Candy”

February 4, 2017 By: Summer Samba35 Comments

somali cat with package from Sweden

My Abyssinian friends Jake and Angel used to live in Boston, but they and their human moved to Sweden a few months ago. It has been a very busy and exciting time for them all — Jake has even been in a couple of cat shows! But they still found the time to send me some gifts. Although the package went out in mid-December, it just arrived this week.

declaration form on package

Like all international packages, there was a declaration form. I was a bit puzzled by the items listed. Why did they send candy?

Okay, so there wasn’t exactly candy…

somali cat paw with cat treats from Sweden

Unless you consider cat treats candy, which I do! And all the way from Sweden! But let me show you the other gifts first.

This cute little reflector on a chain was one of them.

somali cat patch

And there was this cool Somali cat patch! Someone in Finland makes them. There is velcro on the back so my human can attach it to my enclosure next time I’m at a cat show.

But enough of all that — let’s get back to the candy! I have never had any treat sticks, so my human decided I could have one of those.

I must confess, I got a little overexcited when my human pulled out this treat! I devoured it so quickly, my human was barely able to get a photo. I even forgot my “Stay” command. It was really awesome! The cats in Sweden are so lucky they get to have these!

I can’t wait to try the rest of the treats… don’t worry, I promise to share! Thank you, Jake, Angel and your human, for these thoughtful gifts!

    My mum thinks the sending of CANDY is something that won’t get stopped in customs. Unlike stating it was cat food treats.

    You look so cute sitting there nicely in the first two pictures, and then so happily eating the treats!

    And Abyssinians are also a beautiful breed! I got to meet a few at the Cat Show in Portland!

    How incredible the kitties adventure from one country to the next. And boy did you really like that candy. Our mom refers to our treats as candies because our g’ma overfeeds us with treats and she cannot understand why she cannot feed us with more treats until mama told her these (treats) are kitty candies. Sigh, once she understood the difference between regular noms and treats we never get any more candies from her 🙁

    I started that with my friend Sanna-Leena in Finland. But in Sweden, the word for cat treats is “katt godis” which literally translates to cat candy.

    What wonderful gifts, and all the way from Sweden. That’s pawsome! Dad always brings us back cool stuff too when he visits the grandparents in Germany. Europe has some cool unique cat stuff. Love all your gifts. Can’t wait to see if Binga and Boodie like the treats too. Careful with the fingers! Purrs
