I got my Secret Paws package and I am very excited to see what is inside, but my human and I are having a debate!
As you can see, it is from my friends Nikita and Elvira. Although I have never met them face to face, my human met their human last year when he came down to a book signing for my second book. That was before they moved to Houston. But there is a problem here.
It says, “Do not open until Catmas Day!” But when exactly is Catmas Day? My human believes it is the same day as Christmas, so I have to wait! I disagree. I think Catmas is any day I want it to be and I should be able to open it up right now!
So kitties, I need your help to finish off this debate once and for all! Is Catmas the same as Christmas, any day I want… or is it the same day as Festivus or something completely different? You vote below and tell me when I get to open my Secret Paws gift! Voting is open until Thursday night.
Exactly when is Catmas Day?
- Catmas Day is EVERY day! (58%, 42 Votes)
- Same as Christmas - December 25 (33%, 24 Votes)
- It's a different day altogether, and I've told you in the comments below. (6%, 4 Votes)
- It's the same day as Festivus - December 23 (3%, 2 Votes)
Total Voters: 72


Uh, I’z sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I believe that Catmas Day is Christmas Day…do you own a magic marker?
Me votes that every day is Catmas Day!!!
Open it!
kisses
Nellie
PS says that too!
Have a little discipline. The fun is in the anticipation. While I believe Catmas Day is Dec 25, in my family we get to open gifts on Catmas Eve, the 24th. So we get the anticipation but also a bit of relief for our curiosity. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.
Of course EVERY DAY is Catmas!
Miss Sparkle, Mum is quite firm on this Catmas Day IS Christmas Day. YOU DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL UNTIL THEN!
Open it when the human is sleeping!
We always have to wait till Christmas bummer, huh : (
Catmas day is every day! We kitties follow no rules and do as we like, so our Catmas day must be as free as we are. Carl (who is into peeing on things) says to pee on the box and your human won’t want it around, then you can open it. He’d be glad to pee on it for you, too. You know, in the spirit of Catmas.
I am having the SAME EXACT PROBLEM! But guess what? MY package doesn’t even have any rules written on it AT ALL!!! But STILL she wants me to WAIT till it’s a little closer to Christmas. AS IF!!! I’m gonna have to take this up with the Purrlice.
All I know is George the Duck holds his big Catmas Eve pawty on December 24th. I do think it was very irresponsible of their Father, who otherwise is a very nice guy, to write that on the box. After all, aren’t you supposed to blog about it on the Secret Paws web site?
Ok, so I am new to this stuff Sparkle, but here is how I see it…”Catmas Day” is probably EVERYDAY!…but then there is “Christmouse” Day and that is the same as human’s Xmas Day on Dec 25….then there is “Catmouse Day”…and that is sometime during the Festival of Lights” during Hanukkah…so that’s what a ‘newbie” at all this is going forward with…hope that helps, Paw pats, Savannah
Mum opened the shipping box, but we haven’t been aloud to open the little wrapped prezzies inside.
we voted!
we say…..open, open, open!!!!!
Well, of course you are right once again Sparkle. Catmas is every day!
Yes. Absolutely. Catmas Day is every day. I was so informed by both Scooter and Wart, and they looked at me like I was stupid for asking.
It´s CATMAS day efurry day all year around !!
We voted – and we sez, it’s WHATEVER DAY YOU CHOOSE!! yessssss!
Technically, Catmas is feline Christmas so it’s the same day, but in our house we open gifts on Xmas eve or earlier if someone gets into their gift early. You’ll see our evidence tomorrow.
We voted for EVERY day…we wanted to vote 13 times, too…but Mommy is a poopyhead and said once was enough.
*sigh*
Since the PURResent is for your you and your kitty furblings, you should be the ones who decide when to open it. You must get a feline consensus, though.
Sparkle
We think Catmas is any day but our Mom says it’s Dec 25th.
I think your human is gonna make you wait til Christmas Day…which I think is unfair! Let’s see how she feels if you ignore her til Christmas Day????
While every day is Catmus Day, we think on this occasion, you should wait until the human’s day on Christmas. Good things come to those who wait! Purrs…
Sparkle, our mom is in agreement with your person, but we were the ones who voted and say Catmas is any day you want it to be 😀 The curiosity would kill us if we had to wait 😀
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
The math is quite simple: a gift arrives-the gift gets opened! =^..^= 🙂
WE think Catmas Day should be any and every day we wish! Hoomins don’t think that way though.. and they do have the thumbs. This could be a problem.
I made the publicist vote but she is a SCROOGE!
She said that she follows the blog now and will hopefully be able to join in this secret fun next year with the Farm cats.
we say why wait????
Every day should be Catmas Day, however the humans probably think Catmas Day is the same as Christmas Day.
Cleo, Rosie, Mimi and Louie
Every day!!!!!
Every day is Catmus Day! Doesn’t the world revolve around us? Aren’t we gods and goddesses? I say, open the box now!
Silly humans!
We always open presents on Catmas Eve-December 24th.
I think Catmas and Christmas are the same. And so is Xmas. It’s the day: December 25.
Everyday is Catmas, or Christmas, or Xmas…but only one day is the big celebration.
However, that’s all besides the actual point…which is how does one get in on this Secret Paws fun? We wanna play!
EVERY day is Catmus Day!
OTOH (playing devil’s advocate here) if you open it NOW, you won’t have anything to open on Catmus Day …. or will you?????? *wink wink*
Disciplined purrs,
Selina
we just voted and you are gonna be happy!
Mom told me that if we got a package like that we’d have to wait until the morning of Dec.25th…we can’t even rip in on Christmas Eve. That’s how my mom is. We have not got our Secret Paws package yet so we are not yet tempted. Sometimes it’s more fun to wait.
We usually wait until Christmas Day to open our packages but maybe we’ll be able to convince Mom that it’s Catmas Day!!
The Florida Furkids
We certainly agree that every day is Catmus Day, so start ripping Sparkle. No more waiting. Can’t wait to see what you got. We opened ours. Take care.
We are so glad our package didn’t have those instructions on them because Mom Paula let us open ours yesterday. We say you can open it anytime you want!
Poor you Sparkles! I wonder what’s in your package. I can see why you want to open it now, its always so hard to wait!
Every day is Catmus Day according to mum – but what does she know!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Every day is Catmus Day!! But our mom probably wouldn’t let us open it until Christmas because that’s how she is. RATS!!
We think Catmas will be the day we gnaw or bitey the box enough to drive the Momma crazy enough to open it for us! (heh,heh,heh)
Harry, Dexter and Tipp
Oh that is silly – of course EVERY DAY is Catmas Day…
We think you will win this debate easily. All cats know Catmas is any day we want it to be! H
Catmas is any day the kitty wants it to be, of course!
No thumbs are needed to vote – so we just have, hehehehe.
