Photo Hunt: Surprise

December 24, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat33 Comments

Humans smell bad sometimes and make messes too, you know!
We got a surprise package from the Oreck human who helped me with my air purifier contest a few weeks ago. It was some carpet freshener and stain removal wipes, all gift-wrapped. My human liked it, but I am wondering if I should be a little bit insulted.

I think the box was the BEST part!
At least it came in an exceptionally cool box!

I hate when my human gets in the way of my wrapping paper work.
There were more surprises too, like this gift my human wrapped for her boyfriend. It is protected in heavy cardboard because it is 112 years old and very valuable! She wasn’t expecting to find it and was quite surprised when she found one — and he will be surprised to get it, too!

When you are a cat, there is no such thing as "In the way."
I had to supervise the wrapping very carefully, but I don’t think my help was properly appreciated.

My human has terrible taste in ribbons, as you can tell!
Binga helped with choosing bows. She bit all the ribbons because they were the wrong color for the wrapping paper my human was using.

My human wore Binga out!
All this wrapping was hard work! Yes, it was only two packages, but you don’t know my human.

She argues over everything.
Then Binga and I got into an argument over who did the most work.

I told you she was a bully!
It did not end well.

Look up Bad Kitty in the dictionary and you will see a picture of Binga.
It is a good thing that misbehaving kitties still get presents, otherwise Binga would wind up empty-pawed on Christmas Day!

    Oh, dear, a wrapping battle on Christmas Eve. Good thing there aren’t any more packages to wrap. Jan doesn’t appreciate our help either.

    Merry Christmas!

    Dear Sparkle,
    I got my CatMouse Card today from you and I must tell you, Nellie was very jealous! She thinks that everything should be hers! I thought it was wonderful that you sent me my own (it was the only one!)
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
    Your faithful follower

    Merry CatMouse sweet Sparkle, I hope you get everything you asked for!

    You and Binga needn’t get into an argument. It’s not who did the most work but the both of you doing a great job wrapping presents equally.

    Merry Christmas!!!

    You both helped out a lot wrapping the presents! Binga, we know you aren’t misbehaving, just misunderstood! We love the last photo! We’re curious as to what your human got her boyfriend that is 112 years old.

    Binga, you really shouldn’t pick on Sparkle because all the gang here will teleport right over there to put you in your place. Sparkle is our gal and we don’t like seeing her being picked on.It is Christmas and you had better be good. We sure do wish all of you a very Happy Holiday..

    Sparkle, our Mommy was a champion wrapper…until we came along! Now she shoves gifts in a sack and hopes we don’t maul the tissue paper too badly!
