After X-Mas

Sandy Claws arrived and it seems I wasn't forgotten (or that naughty either). I received a giant box, big enough for a sizable cat to stand fully upright (sweet), a large ribbon, a fresh bag of nip so I can have all my mice re-nipped, and a new mouse too (when you pull his tail, he scoots across the floor).

Oh and the very best present - I got a copy of my friend PsychoKitty/Max's book "The Rules - A Guide for People Owned by Cats." Here I am waiting for my family to curl up on the couch and read it with me (there are even cool drawings so humans will be able to understand the rules).

Wow my couch looks like a crazy test pattern in this photo.

Psst - Okay kitties I'm still trying to be well behaved because next week is my birthday (sorta), and I'm hoping for more loot, but I have to say that I'm a little suspicious about the box present. I'm pretty sure it's the box Mommy's present came in - I'm just saying.

So it's sorta my birthday on New Year's Day. I say "sorta" because my exact birthday is unknown. My Gotcha Day was mid-February and when Mommy counted back she figured it was about January 1st, so we went with that. On Monday I'm going announce a little something special I have planned for my birthday celebration. A little game my friends can play along with too, if they want, until then I will be encouraging my parents to hit the after X-Mas Sale at Petsmart.
