Those pens were some of the freebie stuff and they advertised the town.. However.... we did make her a basket of "useful" items and it had paper and pencil in it to keep in touch with us :^) The town is very small, so we played on that theme and filled the basket with items that were funny.... paper and pencil in case of no internet two cans on a string in case of no telephones some grocery items that she liked that are special to our town, in case she got hungry... etc..

lol, parties are suppose to keep your mind away from your daily life like work, CLEANING!!!! and so on. How much fun is it if you have to think about cleaning during the whole party! lol I think I would refer to that as a "get together" rather than a party.

Oh, I'm so sorry...I didn't realize this would be considered spamming...I was just trying to get the word out on toxins in the home and offer safer alternatives...please forgive me...if I knew how to delete it I would...thank you for letting me know. Hayley

I agree with Laurie on everything that she said, especially about the locked door, as well as what catmom said about your cat being kept in the house and not ever let out.....ever. Depending on how long your party is, here's another suggestion in case you don't have a room that you can actually lock her in. Do you have a carrier? In particular, a large carrier? If so, set it up like her own little condo with a small bowl of water and a small bowl of food. Line it with something really thick and comfy and a few of her favorite toys. If it's large enough (we have a large dog carrier that we do this with for one of our cats) you can put a little disposable litter pan in as well. We've found that our younger cat doesn't use the little little pan at all, but boy does he head for his big pan once he's let out, but at least it's there just in case. (Our older cat, who's something like 20+ years old, is happy if he's on my husband's pillow and has a fan gently blowing in his face so we don't contain him, other than closing our bedroom door.) Put her in it and put the carrier in a darkened room with the door shut. This should help her feel safe, calm and comfortable. Hope this helps. Please let us know what you decide to do and how it works ot. Jenna
