Boy, I had a surprise when I opened my Christmas present from my two daughters. They gave me a Webkinz cat! To give you a little history, my oldest daughter was given a Webkinz cat herself. Many of you may be familiar with the Webkinz concept, but if you're not, here's a little background. You receive a stuffed animal with a code that you enter on the Webkinz website. You then have a virtual pet that looks like your stuffed animal that you can play with, that you need to feed, and that you dress. To feed and buy things for your animal, you need to earn Webkinz cash. You earn Webkinz cash by playing games at the virtual arcade. We encouraged Kelsey to take care of her pet, but her cat tended to be neglected. I thought I would help, so I started playing some of her arcade games to earn her cash. I found some of the games to be very entertaining, and my wife found me playing them at late hours of the night. She threatened many times to get me my own Webkinz. I thought she was kidding, but as you can see above, I guess she wasn't. I have decided to name my cat Snikkers. I don't normally like cats, but I think this one is pretty cute.
