"Last year we came out with the dog advent calendar, which seemed pretty odd until we got out in the stores and there was quite a following for it," Colin Fields, vice president of merchandising for Trader Joe's, said in the podcast episode announcing the advent calendars for cats. "And we heard from our feline, loving customers that we should have something for their cats. So we found it, we developed it and it's pretty cool."
