Caturday Catmas Gifts

We kitties were so surprised on Christmas morning to find presents under the tree — for us!

I had told my human not to get us anything, and to just donate the money. We still couldn’t wait to open up the gifts, though!

They were cool holiday cat scratchers — my human got both styles available! Then I realized… she had gotten them a month ago and just forgotten to set them up for us, so she wrapped them up as gifts instead. I hope she is still planning to make those donations I told her to do!

My human did not read the instructions on how to put them together. Fortunately, the gift box scratcher was easy.

The gingerbread house was a little more complicated, but she got that together too. Binga helped.

The moment it was assembled, I went in to try it out.

I liked this one lots too!

My favorite part of this one was that it has windows so I can wave at people and other kitties!

Of course, I shared these gifts! This Christmas turned out to be way more fun than I expected!

    Wowzers! Mom says Ninja and I are going to get our gifts on Ukrainian Christmas. My human brother is in Calgary and we are in Midway so we are doing what Mom and Alex used to do when he was young, celebrate then. I’ve asked for one of those scratchers…
    You and Bodie and Binga sure enjoy yours!

    Meowmy had gotten us some nip mousies, but with all her work and stuff she furgot to wrap them up…so we had a ton of fun in the bags, boxes and s=wrappings. Even dog-guy ripped some paper to shreds…don’t spend your hard earned green papers on a paper shredder, just give it all to MJF, he will take prompt care of it…and Minko of course will deal with any unwanted wires…sigh…

    We both, esp Pipo, will bite into the cardboard, did you try shining up your teeth on them?

    Thought I commented on this earlier. Those look like great holey holes AND the fact that they’re scratchers is a bonus.

    Those are great. I got my kitties the present one and I am glad I chose that because I had enough of a hard time trying to assemble it. There were a lot of the gift boxes left today at Target, I should have gotten some.

    Those are terrific gifts, no matter how you got them. Summer, you are sure cute waving at your friends through the window. We have not opened most of our gifts yet. We will probably be doing it later this afternoon. Enjoy your new toys! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    […] My human heard a bunch of noise in the living room the other day and this is what she found. I was doing some home renovation on the Gingerbread House Scratcher that I got for Christmas. […]
