I’m definately on the nice list, I was absolutely, definately, pawsitively nowhere near all the shenanigans that have been going on recently. It so difficult to be good when there’s just so much temptation around, trees inside, baubles, crinkly paper, boxes, shiny things for Millie, rustly things that tempt a blindies ears. I think Catmas is just a way to trick you into being naughty, a kitty has been good all year long and then bam! Here’s the final and hardest test, right before Santa Paws comes, it’s just not fair.
Well, the temptation of one little, teeny tiny package was just too much. This mischief is way beyond the usual pulling baubles off the tree (mummy told me she deliberately leaves some for us to play with on the bottom of the tree) and stealing the tinsel, this is full on naughtiness and my little sisfus have A LOT of being good to do to recover from their latest antics. I’m not even sure there’s enough time to make up for it before the big man is due to come.
Well, here goes, brace yourself, they stole a present from under the tree, then if that wasn’t bad enough, they ripped through the crinkly paper, then, through the bag inside and then…no I’m not finished yet…they stole the catnip play stick toys from the inside! They maintain that the toys had been captured and were being held to ransom and they were actually just giving them their freedom. They’re so silly, every big sisfur knows that if you’re going to steal things from anywhere you do it in the dead of night when your humans have gone to sleep so they don’t know who did what or at the very least hide the evidence! All kitties have a secret place to to stash things in, somewhere the humans won’t find them. Don’t sit there like two silly kitties playing with your spoils right in front of them! They’re such amateurs, no street smarts between them at all! They have obviously learned nothing from me.
When it’s all going down and daddy is taking the photos as evidence to show mummy what naughty girls they have been, I’m nowhere in sight. Where am I? Well, I’m curled up, ‘sleeping’ on nans bed like a sweet, innocent princess. Who would ever suspect such a cute little blind kitty would ever be involved in such naughtiness. Well, turns out that mummy, much like daddy was half thinking how naughty they had been raiding the presents but also half impressed at how they had managed to not only sniff out the kitty presents amongst all the human ones but break through two impenetrable layers. Sadly though for Millie and Angelin mummy and daddy aren’t Santa Paws and so don’t get to decide who goes on the naughty or nice lists.
I’m not taking any chances though so even though it’s been desperately cold outside I made a really big effort to go out for walkies with mummy for as long as possible. Even if the ground was cold and hard and my paws went kind of numb and then really tingly I love having walkies with mummy and I know she loves the snow and the cold crinkly frost is the closest thing we’ve had so far so I’ll do everything I can to help mummy be happy. Then, as usual after walkies and dinner I keep mummy company as her bath buddy and then it’s time to settle down for the evening and it’s snuggle time on mummy’s warm blankie and the off to bed, let’s all pile on together with mummy and daddy, I’m sure there’s enough room.
