What's the nicest treat or surprise you've given an animal, or seen someone give one?

A natural way to answer

I once gave a friend's cat a little cardboard castle for her birthday. It sounds silly, but the cat genuinely loved it and slept in it for weeks. Sometimes the simple things land best.

Key phrases to use

• go mad for it — be extremely enthusiastic and excited about something“The kids went mad for the new game.”
• didn't half spoil — really did spoil (a lot)“They didn't half spoil that cat.”
• lapped up — enjoyed and accepted something eagerly, especially attention“She lapped up the applause.”
• went all out — made a huge effort, holding nothing back“They went all out for the wedding.”
