If her hearing is still pretty sharp I would suggest a phone card so she can call relatives such as yourself without it costing her anything.

Country, does she do anything like word searches or crocheting? If she does, maybe some supplies? Or does she have a super favorite treat? (like chocolate covered strawberries?) Maybe call her assisted living place and see what they could suggest? What about a super soft blanket or wrap? Or robe?

I appreciate your help, maybe a phone card would be the way to go or a gift card to Walmart, she can't do crocheting anylonger as her sight is really bad and she is not much of a sweet eater, but a nice soft blanket or throw might be great. Thank you all.

or even if you stock her up with toiletpaper, soap, every day things she may use.

I don't know if these are truly cheesy or not in real life, but if I were 90 and in assisted living, I would miss having a cat and I might want one of these http://firststreetonline.com/product.jsp?id=54940 Looks like there are lots of other gift ideas on that site for the oldsters... and I use the word "oldster" with respect, I hope to be one someday

I don't like the gifts that I have seen in real life that are similar to what's on melfie's link. I really think they use real cat fur. I don't even want to think about how they are really made... In fact my dh got me two one time. I didn't tell him, but I threw them out cuz they made me so sad...
