Why is my human wrapping gifts now? Even if we celebrated Christmas in January (which we don’t — in fact, we’re a secular household), there’s something wrong with these.
The boxes are all empty!
She didn’t even ask me for my help. I just happened to go looking for her and found her in her boyfriend’s music room, kind of the way she was on Christmas Eve. This is what happens when humans go unsupervised.
Even though she didn’t ask (which she should have), I helped anyway.
It’s a good thing I got there before she put the bows on.
So now you are probably wondering what the deal is! These “gifts” are actually props for a photo shoot.
Remember that Christmas themed photo from my Caturday Extras post a couple of weeks back? My human wanted to dress up the tree a little bit and do a photo for my 2019 calendar before taking it down. She thought adding some presents would work well. So she’s going to get out the real camera and set up some lighting, put me back in costume and get it done!
Figures you-know-who would show up. Well, guess what, we’re not taking photos ’til tomorrow night, so there are no treats for you!

Your Mom is so creative
Does your human freelance? Our secretary is not very efficient. We’re so far behind!
Those are sure to be furtastic pictures!
You look super cute, playing with those ribbons!
Your ruddy fur looks nice and shiny in this diary entry, too!
Wow, your human is thinking so far ahead ! Purrs
Now that is preplanning. Smart
You are beautiful and so well behaved, such a lady…..okay, not when you stick you tongue out, but you can’t be a proper lady all the time!
bummer those aren’t real presents for you, Summer. maybe you will still get the boxes as a reward after your photo shoot. we can’t believe your human didn’t want your help with the wrapping bit. you could have extended the fun of the project! we will be looking forward to some additional Binga-bombs from your upcoming shoot 🙂
pip, minnie, hollie, sharpie, ditto, TL
We had a feeling those wrapped boxes would be props.
your human is REALLY on the ball!
Summer,
Did yoo an’ Miss Binga get treats for helping? Where was Miss Boodie?

Your human is far more organized than ours! Ours can barely figure out what needs to be done from day to day let alone next year! We bet the photos will turn out well with you in them, Summer 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Oh Wow! Did you wrap Binga in any of the boxes? that would have been interesting!

^^ Pretty Cat!!
I’ll bet the bows disappear by tomorrow!
Well Summer make sure you “help” unwrap those empty boxes after mommy is done with them! Love you!â¤
Extending Christmas into January works for me! Not sure I’d want to wrap gifts more than once though 🙂
The presents look nice. Can’t wait to see the pictures.
Great reporting, Summer! Bear rips the bows off wrapped presents.
Good job you helped, those presents look very well wrapped.
Binga just won’t be left out. Your human is pretty smart, using that Christmas tree as a background for next year’s calendar!
You might be more festive if there were actually presents in those boxes. Just sayin.
Binga makes us giggle.
Glad you solved that mystery. The gifts look nice under the tree. Nice Binga bomb 🙂
Summer…that tail sailing by…oh that made me laugh.

Yur furend, Siddhartha Henry =^,.^=
You are always so helpful, Summer! Tree looks extra festive with those boxes. I hope you’ll have fun doing photo shoot!
Summer, your human is always thinking!
maybe santa will make another visit…
Wow! That’s really getting things done, and so early, too! Go your Mom!
Your adorable little face is making me smile this morning…
LOL, photo-bomb Binga strikes again! She’s too funny. Great idea on the upcoming Christmas photos. Love the look. Purrs
Poor Binga….too early. Guess it makes sense to take December pictures now while the tree is still up
Those packages look terrific, Summer. You did a good job helping the human.
You have a smart human to think ahead that far.
Summer we love the gold paper and the silver tipped bow on the red package.
Your human is very very organized.
Hugs madi your bfff
Maybe I need to have my tree put back up pretty Summer!
Binga’s tail reminds our mom of the shark fin in Jaws… never know where it will pop up next. And you are so right – never let the hoomins be unsupervised. They get into so much mischief, and just WHO is gonna clean that up ??
Were you cats sleeping on the job? Do you know how much trouble humans can get into without proper supurrvision? 😉
