Dogs have more to look for under the tree this Christmas than cats do, according to the Associated Press.
Fifty-six % of dog owners say they'll buy their pets a gift this Christmas, but only 48 % of cat owners plan a gift. Why, I ask, after all the videos we saw of people letting their pets play with iPads, aren't more people trying to get social networking tools for their pets?
Back to the poll: A majority of all pet owners - 53 % - said in an Associated Press-Petside.com poll that they plan to get their animals a present this holiday season.
Debbye Meszaros' two dogs, Sasha and Sophie, will be getting rawhide bones while the family hamster, Star, gets a bigger wheel and Princess, the guinea pig, gets new bedding.
"There will also be something under the tree from the animals to the kids, too," said Meszaros, 40, of Olney, Md. Last year, the family managed to find edible rawhide greeting cards to give other dogs.
The AP-Petside.com poll showed that women (56 %) are somewhat more likely than men (49 %) to buy their animals a gift.
The number of pet owners planning to buy presents for their animals this year is nearly the same as last year.
