Secret Paws! Shhh – Don’t Tell

December 6, 2016 By: Summer Samba38 Comments

I’m feeling a little dubious about the Santa hat part of this outfit. But I felt it was necessary to wear today.

You see, I am putting together my Secret Paws presents! In case you are not a blogging kitty, let me explain. Every year, many of us blogging cats participate in a Secret Santa type gift exchange, only we call it — ta-da! — Secret Paws! Truffle and Brulee’s human shuffles the names and assigns us each a kitty family to give gifts to. I can’t show you what I got the kitties (and their human) because it’s supposed to be a secret, and they visit my blog sometimes! I will just say, when the gifts came home, they were Binga approved!

The only problem here is that I’m not sure all these presents will fit in this box! I may have to send my human downstairs for something bigger.

But guess what? I figured out a way to fit them all in! My human could never have done it without my help.

As soon as my human helps me sign the card, I’ll be able to send her off to the post office to mail this!

And of course, now someone has to come along and judge my outfit.

    Mom Crystal sent our Secret Paw their gift on Cyber Monday, Nov. 30. We’re excited about Secret Paws and Can’t wait to the Secret Paw Reveal after Christmas.
    Mom Crystal is sending our Secret Paw their Christmas card separately since she bought the online.
    We love your Santa suit and good job getting everything in the box.

    That was excellent Quality Control, Summer! Superb, even.
    We got left out of the Secret Paws exchange this year because our human missed the deadline.
    (we’re CERTAIN she’ll make up for it though – right?!?)

    Secret Santa is always such fun! I knew you’d figure out how to fit your presents. After all, who knows boxes better than cats??

    I bet whoever your Secret Paws recipient is would love to have you deliver those gifts yourself wearing that adorable Santa suit. We still need to wrap ours and get them in the mail. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    We think you look CUTE in your outfit, it looks comfortable and as if it ‘fits’ (does that make sense)

    Those look like fun. My stuff arrived yesterday. It will take weeks for TW to wrap them and take them to the post office. Sigh.

    Great outfit, you won’t believe it, but I was forced to wear a costume over the weekend, I didn’t enjoy it much, you are very tolerant. LL has our secret paws gifts, now she just has to wrap them then send them. I can’t wait to recieve mine!

    We are sure that your Secret Paws box is totally awesome!

    This year, we are taking part in something called Secret Santa, organised by the FB page in honour of Street Cat Bob. We have already received our package but #1 hasn’t shared it with us yet.

      In your “Letters To Santa” blog entry, Bear Cat DOES in fact, look like a male version of my kitten Sydney!

      If you look at my Twitter page (@claxtonokajima), and scroll through some of my tweets, you’re bound to see some Sydney pictures!

      Just look for the kitten, who looks like a female version of Bear Cat! She looks like a Queen!
