MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - Dec 20, 2012) - (Family Features) This holiday season, as you're making a list and checking it twice; don't forget to treat your most loyal companion -- your cat.
According to a new survey conducted by TEMPTATIONS® Treats for Cats, you won't be alone. Nearly half of all cat owners go the extra mile this time of year to buy their cat the pawfect gift.
Ladies, if you think you're spending more on your cat than the men, think again. It was discovered that men are more likely to outspend women on their cat during the holidays. More than 34 percent of men surveyed said they'd spend upwards of $11 to $20 on their cat's gift, while just over 38 percent of women estimate spending closer to $6 to $10.
"Incorporating treats into your holiday and daily routine can build and strengthen your relationship with your cat and reinforce your cat's behavior," said Dr. Tiffany Bierer, a nutrition manager for Mars Petcare U.S., the makers of TEMPTATIONS® Treats for Cats. "A positive reward helps your cat recognize what you want them to do, and creates playful moments during the holidays and beyond."
Consider this advice when shopping for treats and toys to fill your feline friends' stockings:
