Dumb Human Gifts

August 30, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat30 Comments

So there I was, minding my own business, hiding my appendages and thinking about things.

You can almost see the "do not disturb" sign.

And without any warning my human plunks this thing down next to me.

What the...!

Apparently it was something her boyfriend brought back from his brief trip to New Mexico. He was gone for such a short time I didn’t even know he was away.

Like I care about this thing.

Okay, you can take it away now.

P.S. My human had the tail on upside down and she didn't even know it.

    That hideous thing is definitely a boyfriend gift. Only a male human would spend money on something like that!

    Well, Sparkle, he MIGHT have meant well, but, really, what is a kitteh supposed to do with THAT? He better get a clue before it’s Christmas.

    Yeah, we can tell you’re not amused… We hope it disappeared eventually. At least it’s not a new little brother!! (just trying to put a positive spin on things!!)

    Have a wonderful day!!

    No, you don’t look over impressed with it. Maybe when your mum isn’t looking………………….

    Something tells me that was a gift for your Mom and not for you Sparkle. I think it’s supposed to look like you, but it’s too stylized for that. Are you hissing at it in that first picture? I wouldn’t blame you.

    Our mom thinks the the painted cat is a great gift (typical human!) – but we agree with you, Sparkle.

    At least he didn’t bring back a real cat!

    And we think it is kinda cute – in a weird way. Very much a boyfriend kind of gift!

    Do you think it’s the total lack of fur and flexibility?

    I’d try giving it a good whap too Sparkle! I like to toss things from high places and see them smash. I’d definitely try that maneuver with that thing especially because it seem to be intruding into your space. However my mommy is pretty quick and when she seems me about to do something spectacular like that she yells – FIONNA!! Drat.

    Quite obvious that it was a good thing the gift was for your Mom and not for you!

    Our rule is that if it isn’t edible, if it can’t keep us warm, and if it’s not filled with catnip, we aren’t interested.

    HA!

    That’s too funny.

    Mexican cats are shaped oddly. Hm. No wonder you disliked it. I love the colors, though!

    Hahahaha! Your expression says it all, Sparkle. Dumb human gifts indeed. Though we suspect your mom liked it!

    Wonder how far you can send it with a whap. I think just ignoring it will probably make it go away. Hope you have a fantastic week.

    Your expressions say it all, Sparkle! It does look like it could be fun to whap about…but wait until your human puts it up on a table or something… ;-/
