What We Want For Christmas...

 "We want mom to get a new camera because we're tired of seeing the same ones over and over and over and over and over and..."

 "Dad should fix the dryer or  they should get a new

one so I can have warm clothes to sleep on.  Because

warm clothes are extremely important for cats."

 "Dad's car needs to get fixed.  Mom put in a new battery but messed it up so his car's computer fried.  When get a new computer in it we'll find out what's wrong.  Oh, and mom needs a new tire for the van.  One of them blew out.  I blame my brother Zaphoid.  He likes to use the car tires for scratching posts.  Hmmm, maybe we need to have our scratching posts recovered!!  Dad's gotten sisal rope but no one can find his staple gun so he or mom can put it on!  Bad Feeders!!"

 "I think mom did get us a new toy with a scratchy thing

in the middle.  And she always gets us catnip.  But she'd

better get us GREENIES!!!  We all looooove the greenies!!"

"We did this all last night and this morning.

In and out and in and out and in and..."

Hide and Seek Presents!

So the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde Mighty Hunters evidently decided that we should play Hide & Seek Presents!  They have always enjoyed leaving presents for us and the Trouble Twins (Thomas & Zaphy who are out of the same litter from a stray Queen... who later became a Princess) were trained by the late Christopher (my first rescue as an adult who lived to be 16) to always put presents in a place where mom won't step on them.  All of the various members were taught this rule and have passed it down to every new member of the Horde as they've come along.

 "Any presents in here?  I need something to give to mom!"

Ah Spring!!  The time of giving mom presents!!  So far this year we've had one left on the floor and that wonderful present that got chased all around the bedroom in the middle of the night only to be left by the hall scratching post in the morning.  But wait!  What is this by the front door?  "There!!  By the hinge side so that mom doesn't step on it!!  It's a itty bitty present!!  A vole!  Look, mom, look!!  Don't you love your present?!"  ::shakes head::

Mister Kitten "Why does mom want this magnet??"

Thomas "It's all about you, trust me."
