The problem with Christmas turkey ...

I don't know why you humans complain about Christmas turkey leftovers.  I think they're yummy.  In fact, after my first dish of Christmas turkey on Christmas Day, my human kept giving me it for days and days afterwards.  It was yummy.

But then there came a day when apparently there was no more ...

I kept asking my human for more, but she kept telling me that there wasn't any.

She even gave me a dish with lots and lots of Dreamies in it.  Many more than I usually get. 

But I didn't want them.

Yes; you read that right.

I didn't want Dreamies.

I wanted Christmas turkey.  After having Christmas turkey, Dreamies just didn't taste the same.

When she wouldn't give me any more Christmas turkey, I succumbed to the lure of the Dreamies in the dish.

But I couldn't bring myself to eat them all.  They just didn't taste the same anymore ...

  

Mind you, that was yesterday.

Today, Dreamies taste as good as ever ... & I've already had 2 dishes of them!

Christmas turkey doesn't last ... but Dreamies do ...

More Christmas upset ...

As if the Santa Claws hat wasn't enough to upset me though, I learned that my human had been enjoying Christmas Day with another cat, whilst she left me all on my own at home.

I know she has other cats in her life, and I'm (kind of) okay with this, because it's always me she comes home to.  And I knew that on Christmas Day, she'd be seeing the cat called Smudge.



And that was okay.  (Kind of)

But what wasn't okay were the photos that I found.

I wasn't happy to see that he got to share a glass of mulled wine with her.



Not that I wanted any.  I don't understand why you humans drink alcohol.  It just seems to make you either get sleepy or more stupid than usual.  Nothing at all like catnip ....


So no; I didn't any.  But it hurt me to find this picture on my human's phone ... of Smudge sitting with my human's glass of mulled wine.




And then, I kept looking at her phone.  Maybe I shouldn't have.  I know it's not good to spy on your human, but sometimes I just need to know what she's up to when she's not at home.




And then ... I found this picture.



And this one hurt.



Smudge sitting at the Christmas table ... whilst I'd been sitting at home all by myself.

Things did get a bit better though because when my human did eventually decide to come back home, she brought me a lovely plate of Christmas turkey, which was yummy.

In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that the Christmas turkey was nicer than my Dreamies ...

The Santa Claws hat ...

You humans really are silly at times.  

I watch some of the things that my human puts on her body, and I wonder what on earth she's wearing.  No matter what she puts on, it never looks as good, or fits as well as my lovely furry coat.

But at Christmas you really do seem to go to extremes ...

I mean; have you seen what my human was apparently wearing?  

I didn't see her, because this happened somewhere else.  There's no way she'd have dared let me see her looking like that.     Just look; little Santa Claws' on her ears.  How stupid does she look?    

And the human sitting next to her with a really stupid hat on, is the human she calls 'Dad.'  He's the one who comes to feed me when my human goes away. 

She tried to put a Santa Claws hat on my head ... "No way human!" I said and grabbed it off her before she could get it near my head ...

I will not lower myself to the standards of you humans.  If you want to look stupid, that's fine.  But just don't expect me to join you ...

Santa Claws brought me Dreamies ...

On Christmas Eve, my human tried to con me.  

She'd bought some other treats, which I'd refused to eat.  "It's Dreamies or nothing I told her."  But she didn't listen.  She tried to mix my Dreamies in with the other treats to try & fool me.

But I wasn't going to be fooled.  I know the difference between Dreamies and other inferior treats.

So I ate the Dreamies.  And left the other treats.

That's the other treats left sitting in my dish.



So I went to bed that night wishing that Santa Claws would be lots and lots of Dreamies ...




This is me & my human opening our presents on Christmas morning after Santa Claws had been ...










And ...  "Oh; wow!!  Look, in my first present I opened, I got Dreamies!"

I opened another present ... & I got more Dreamies!!

My human was right though about me spoiling myself for Christmas Day by finding the catnip toys.  It seems that they really had been for Christmas.  And I'd had them.  And I got no more.  But still ... I got Dreamies ...

 & life felt dreamily wonderful on Christmas morning ... 

Dreamies and more Dreamies for me to eat ...

Paw prints on my human ...

Oops!

Look what happened last night; I was snuggling into my human as usual, but I must have snuggled in a little bit too tightly.

I left a bit of a paw print on her arm!  That red mark in the middle of the picture, is from my paw!!

It's gone now though, which is a shame really.  I liked having left my mark on my human ... proved she belonged to me.

Oops!

Christmas catnip capers ...

I got into a bit of trouble before Christmas with some presents ...

First of all, a big white parcel was delivered to our door.  I wish you could have smelt it; it was so, so tempting.  I just had to try and get into it.

Apparently this wasn't the right thing to do though.  And my human wasn't very happy with me, but I did manage to get inside of it and found it full ... of catnip filled toys!  Wow!!



I pulled 3 of them out.  My human tried to take them off me, but I was having none of it and I scratched her hand.



Apparently the catnip toys were Christmas presents for me and the other cats in my human's life.  How was I meant to know that?  And what did I care about Christmas anyway?  I'm a cat.  If there's catnip in the house I want it ... now ... not at Christmas.






She eventually gave up and gave me one of them ... although I wasn't happy that she took 2 of them away.





But at least she left me with a nice red fish to play with.

Which I did for a while, very happily.  Getting increasingly high and happy on catnip!  It's great stuff!  I read about you humans drinking alcohol and taking drugs ... you haven't tried anything until you've tried Catnip!








Although I was happy with my red fish, I remembered all the other toys in the bag and I began sniffing the air to try and find them.

My human had tried to hide them from me, but she hadn't considered the power of my little nose.  Or teh enticing smell of catnip.

And it didn't take me long to sniff them out ...



On top of the new cooker hood wasn't a very inventive place now was it human?



So she moved them again ...

And it wasn't long before I found them again.







This time, she'd hidden them in our big junk cupboard.  Which was quite a good place ... until she left the door open a little bit!

And I was in there!  I got the packet again.  I got a blue one with stars this time!









And then I got into trouble for helping her wrap her Christmas presents up ...   (There's sometimes just no pleasing you humans.  And anyway, what's the point of wrapping presents up, when you've just got to tale the paper off again?  Seems stupid to me.)


For sitting inside them & their poppy pop-pop  paper ....










 For sitting on them ...

(If she didn't want me to sit on them, she shouldn't have put them on the floor, should she?!)





You humans are funny when it comes to Christmas!  I've got a lot more to tell you about my Christmas, but it's time for a sleep just now ...

I'll have a rest & then tell you more later ...

My cosy carrier bag ...

My human threw this old carrier bag onto the sofa ... looked like a cosy place to sleep ...

Yes, looks good ... 

Time to snuggle down ...

Time to close the outside world out ...

That's me settled for the rest of the night 

Oh, sorry human; you wanted to sit on the sofa?

Tough!!

My busy Saturday night ...

I'm all worn out. I've had such a busy night ...

This is me relaxing on my human's knee after being busy all night ...

Before I got to relax though, I had lots of things to do.

First of all I helped my human sort out all of the things in our new kitchen cupboards ...

I'm just glad that we no longer have pans & dishes & food & cups & goodness knows what else scattered throughout our house. 

And then, I helped her wrap up her Christmas presents ...

I have to admit to being a little bit disappointed not to find anything for me there.

I thought she'd just been teasing me the other day when she said that I'd opened my Christmas present ... do you remember me telling you about that? If not, check back through my recent entries on here & you can read all about it. 

Seems she wasn't though ...
