| My idiotic relative Percy likes Christmas |
There may be some cats that enjoy Christmas, but I don't. And almost all the cats I am acquainted with simply loathe it. Except for Percy on the left.
The only good thing about Christmas is the turkey. There is usually a lot left over at the end of the day, so I might get some as a treat.
Otherwise it is a nightmare of humans - babies, toddlers (ugh!), harassed adults. Young children may even try to "dress" me.
Strangers invade the house. They ruin the family scent that I have carefully created by rubbing against my normal human and the furniture.
They smell wrong, wrong, wrong... Worse still, some of them smell of dog. And worst of all, sometimes they bring a dog into my home.
Some of the humans get drunk too. That makes them vocalise loudly and sometimes leads to a vocal fight among the relatives. It is a grim time.
What can a self-respecting cat do? Well I retire to the spare bedroom (if it is unoccupied) or loaf around on my human's bed.
I suppose I should be grateful that I am not put into a cattery. Some of my feline friends languish in solitary confinement while their humans go for a holiday.
Christmas is coming.... and I dread it.
Good point, George! I'm lucky as my humans, generally speaking, entertain only a few people at Christmastime or other holidays! Apparently they rehomed themselves many years ago and mostly lived with rescued cats! So those few people who would come for Christmas dinner will bring me toys and treats! And the best part? They all are vegetarians, so Mom buys a little roasted turkey breast just for me! See? I can't dread Christmas! Meowy Christmas, everyone :)
ReplyDeleteI dread Christmas! My hoomans don't go for holidays but our house becomes a madhouse at Christmas time! I'm a shy girl and I don't like when the house becomes crowed and noisy!
ReplyDeleteThank Cat Almightly that my mom is a middle-aged single mom to me and my older sister! So, we'll have a decent dinner, and definitely we won't dress up (but Mum never dressed us in silly clothes)! Merry Christmas to the feline world and their guardians!
ReplyDeleteHey, hey, hey! I live in the US! We didn't even have our Thanksgiving yet! That's when we share the big turkey!
