The model and TV profile Kathrine S\u00f8rland is among those who spoil her pet, the cat Miss, for Christmas. An international Christmas survey carried out by Klarna shows that two out of three Norwegians buy Christmas presents for their pets. Marketing manager at Musti Norway, Anne Lang\u00e5s, reports an increase of 20 per cent in the sale of Christmas gifts for pets compared to last year. It is not only the owners who buy gifts for their pets, but also friends and other family members. Many people see their pets as part of the family and feel guilty if they don&#8217;t buy them something for Christmas. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAI. The content is quality assured by news&#8217;s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publication. &#8211; That cat is already so spoiled. She is only 1 year old, but the Christmas calendar is a matter of course. That&#8217;s what the model and TV profile Kathrine S\u00f8rland says as she sits with the Ragdoll cat Miss on her lap. &#8211; I really want to make that cat happy and cheerful. When we get a Christmas calendar, I think the cat should get one too. Seeing the joy of the cat when it opens hatch after hatch is absolutely fantastic.

Do you buy calendars and Christmas presents for your animals? \ud83d\ude3bYes, of course. They are part of the family. \ud83d\udc36 No, I think that&#8217;s a waste of money. \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udc66I&#8217;m buying for the children for Christmas. Show result Not only buying for their own It is especially families with children who buy calendars and Christmas presents for their pets, says marketing manager Anne Lang\u00e5s at Musti Norway. Musti was established in Norway in 2016 and is part of MustiGroup, the Nordic region&#8217;s largest pet store chain. The chain has 310 stores in the Nordic region. But this year, it seems that a new trend has struck in Norway and our neighboring countries. Marketing manager Anne Lang\u00e5s in Musti Norway Photo: PrivatMarketing manager Anne Lang\u00e5s in Musti Norway Photo: Private &#8211; We see that more and more friends and other family members buy gifts for other people&#8217;s dogs and cats. One of our store managers had a customer who bought Christmas presents for all the neighborhood dogs in the street the other day, she laughs. She says that in November and December there has been an increase of 20 per cent in Norway, Sweden and Finland compared to last year. We checked how the mood is for gifts for our four-legged friends: Veronica RambergI buy treats as a Christmas present for my dog \u200b\u200bYlva. She rips it up as soon as it is placed under the Christmas tree. She also gets a Christmas present from my mother. It&#8217;s nice to spoil her a little.Tom Egil JohnsenWe have two cats, a Main Coon and a black regular domestic cat. We don&#8217;t buy Christmas presents for them, because I think they have enough fun playing with all the Christmas decorations. Ella the dog I love getting a Christmas calendar, but I think it&#8217;s a bit awkward to have to share it with the other dog in the house, Tuva. We get bones as a Christmas present, and it&#8217;s really nice. Marit LiengWe buy a Christmas calendar for sharing, and bones as a Christmas present for our dogs. We buy Christmas presents for them because the rest of the family gets Christmas presents. They tend to unwrap the presents themselves. In the same way as the family Pia Dursett can confirm that it is very busy at the pet shop in the run-up to Christmas. She is assistant warehouse manager at PetXL Sandefjord.

They say that the dogs are on the same level as the rest of the family, and then they too must get something nice before and for Christmas. She sees the customers as feeling guilty if they don&#8217;t buy something for the four-legged friends at Christmas. &#8211; They say they won&#8217;t buy anything for Christmas, but then they buy it for their dog or cat anyway, she laughs. Going to buy in secret Kathrine S\u00f8rland&#8217;s cat is allowed to sleep between her and her husband Andreas Holck in the bed. Something that is not entirely to Andreas&#8217; liking. It is also a matter of course that Miss will get Christmas presents. For Catherine. Kathrine S\u00f8rland&#8217;s cat will get a nice present for Christmas. Photo: Privat Kathrine S\u00f8rland&#8217;s cat will get a nice present for Christmas. Photo: Private &#8211; My husband looked at me a bit strangely when I said that, so I&#8217;ll probably have to go out and buy something nice, she laughs. &#8211; Do you think it&#8217;s a bit strange that we buy calendars and presents for our animals for Christmas? &#8211; I think it&#8217;s fantastic. When I start thinking about it, I think it&#8217;s completely silly, she laughs. She believes Christmas shopping for our animals is about us as individuals, that we need to boost our own self-esteem. &#8211; This is about our own body, soul and head, that we are happy about it. We love these animals so much. I&#8217;m totally crazy about that cat, a crazy cat lady. So everything for Miss. Hi Thank you for reading.
