This week, I am joining Create with Joy’s Inspire me Monday and Comedy Plus’ Awww…. Mondays. I know several of you already scored the Advent Calendar for Cats at Trader Joe’s. I was lucky to get one the other day too. It is for Prancie
At $5.99/each, I can’t get one for all my cats. I figure she puts up with fluids twice a day and all her meds, she deserves it the most.
Don’t worry, the other eleven kitties will not be excluded. I still have the Advent Calendar I made for them back in 2014.
Here is a refresher on how to make one for your kitties. All you need is a mini muffin pan with 24 spaces, scrapbook paper and a bag of treats.
Just cut out 24 circles ( hubby cut them for me). Then number them 1-24, add treats to each space and cover them. Then hide it from the kitties or they will eat them all on day 1.
Penny will be here tomorrow with another money saving tip for the holidays.
What a fun idea! That would be fun with some adaptation for the pups, too:)
Too bad we do not have a Trader Joe here, that is a meezer kitty on there…petcretary covets one, MOL! (The calendar that is…tee-hee!)
Thank you 🙂 Yes, you could do it for the pups. I am sorry there is no TJ’s in Canada. XO
I am in Michigan, but our city doesn’t have a TJ…the nearest one is about 30 miles from here…nope, not driving there,MOL!
Our nearest one is 20 miles away, but I go out that way weekly.
I like your DIY advent calendar! I was lucky – a friend sent us one from their TJ’s in Florida!
Thank you 🙂 I am glad you got one.
Your Advent calendar is a very good idea.
The TJ calendar is a good buy at that price and I am sure Prancie enjoys it.
Thank you 🙂 XO
Prancie is a real trooper and deserves her very own advent calendar! Hoping she continues to tolerate those treatments and meds….and we love the mini-muffin-tin advent calendar project!
Hugs, Teddy
Thank you 🙂 Yes, she does. XO
Wonderful! 😀
Thank you 🙂
Awwww, sweet Prancie ♥ I haven’t thought of an advent calendar since I was little. The muffin tin is a great idea!
Thank you 🙂 I got my great nieces the chocolate kind too. XO
You are a fun and “Great” Aunt!
Awww…thank you. XO
I love your Advent calendar! What a fun!
Thank you 🙂
WE think you advent calendar is just great and glad that Prancie got one. Thanks for the info on how to make one. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you 🙂 We hope you had a good day too. XO
I totally LOVE that! And the Mom -made one too! You’re right though. Any of us kitties would nom each days’ treats all at once!
Thank you 🙂 XO
Someone is quite C L E V E R
Hugs cecilia
Thank you 🙂 XO
Wow….your Advent calendar is great! You’re super creative!!
The Florida Furkids
Thank you 🙂 XO
How fun to make your own. Clever and the kitties will love it as much as you do. I’m glad the Trader Joe’s Calendar went to Prancie. I agree with you.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥
Thank you 🙂 XO
Oh is that what the advent calendar is? Treats?? I wondered!! How cool!
Yes, there is a treat a day. 🙂
I haven’t yet ventured to a Trader Joe’s to eyeball the advent calendar for cats yet, but I’ll get there soon! I hear they run out every day.
I hope you can score one.
We gave my nephews an Advent calendar once, and one of them ate to Gaudete Sunday before they caught him…
My cats would be the same way.
That is funny 🙂
That’s a cool way to make one. Our Trader Joe’s were out every time the Mom has been there.
Thank you 🙂 That stinks about TJ.
Oh, that’s fun. We wonder if they have one for dogs too. We are going to tell Mom to check it out when she goes to TJ’s this week. She LOVES to shop there.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Yes, they sure do 🙂
Your DIY Advent calendar is great ! Purrs
Thank you 🙂 XO
Love your Advent calendar that you made! We have that Trader Joe’s calendar too and because I’m an only kitty, I get it all to myself.
Thank you. You are a lucky kitty. XO
Wowy, Mom and I didn’t know Trader Joes had an advent catlendar. I will put it on Mom’s shopping list for when she goes to town! Thanks for telling us about it. Purr purr purr.
I hope you get one. XO
We just got ours today thanks to Mupdie’s mom (she mailed us one since we don’t have a Trader Joe’s near us). We can’t wait to get started with it.
That was sweet of her 🙂
That looks like so much fun to make! Thank you for the instructions, i’d have never thought of it.
Thank you 🙂
What a creative idea that is! I can’t believe my TJ’s had tons of calendars!
Thank you 🙂 Glad your TJ’s had them.
I wish there were a Trader Joes here in Canada 🙂
Love your idea about the homemade muffin kitty advent calendar, though!
Thank you. Maybe a different chain has a cat calendar in Canada.
That is such a fun idea! We’d have to do battle with Mom the muffin queen over use of the pan, though!
Thank you 🙂 She needs to buy one for you.
I got one in the mail from Mudpie’s mom too! I wouldn’t pose with it though.
That was sweet of her to send you one. XO
I love this idea, what a cool way to serve them treats! And so glad Prancie got her very own. I wish her all the best with the fluids and meds xx
Thank you. XO
What a fun idea! My cats would LOVE this!
Thank you 🙂 I hope you make them one 🙂
This is one of many reasons why I wish there was a Trader Joe’s in my area. We also do a makeshift Advent calendar for the kitties at our house, though, so they still get to participate. I never have trouble finding an Advent calendar for the pup, but it’s so hard to find one for kitties. Way to go, Trader Joe’s, for remembering the kitties!
It is about time there is one for kitties 🙂
WOW! That sure brings up ideas, miss Ellen👍Extra more Pawkisses to all of you🐾😽💞
MOL! 🙂 Pawkisses to you too.XO
What a great idea to make your own! $5.99 seems like a good price, but times 11 would be a bit much!! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
