The Mysterious Red Thing

November 25, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat35 Comments

Yes, I gave those peanuts a taste test... kind of bland.

I heard a rumor that my Christmas present was in this box, so I thought I would sneak a peek. But all I saw was a bunch of biodegradable packing peanuts… and some mysterious red thing.

Kind of creepy looking, isn't it?

All that packaging for that little… whatever it is?

It does not smell like catnip either.

It does not look that fragile to me.

Oh, and I am still waiting for my Thanksgiving turkey!

If this is supposed to be a cat toy, it is pretty lame.

Don't even look at me. You do not exist.

Mysterious red thing, I am going to shun you. My human says that she already had taken my real Christmas gift out of the box and the red thing was a “bonus”, but I don’t know if I believe her. I do know that I do not want to see this mysterious red thing on Christmas morning.

    We think that a present that came in a big box like that must be much better than that creepy little red alien.

    I think the box and packin peanuts make a great gift! You could always re-gift, as I hear it is totally acceptable now. MOL!

    Wow, I wonder what your pressie is Sparkle? I think the little red thing looks like a bit of a character, maybe you should give it a chance? Have a good weekend kitties.

    Perhaps it would make an attractive tree-topper?

    Agree you should NOT have to see that silly thing on Krissymouse.

    That is mysterious. Must be a great present if the box had a red thingy guarding it.

    Sparkle I don’t blame you one bit. I don’t think I would want to see that “mysterious red thing” ANY day MOL.

    Wonder what was in the box?

    I’m sure you can trust what your human says Sparkle 🙂 Btw I didn’t know that styrofoam peanuts were biodegradable…what a relief!!!

      I think they are actually made out of cornstarch, not styrofoam.

    If that was your gift, that would be like a huge disappointment. I hope that it is a bonus. I think you should swat it under the sofa so you don’t have to see it again.

    Buddah would go nuts over that red thing. But I’m pretty sure he’s not firing on all cylinders…

    I’m REALLY curious to see what your present is!

    Sparkle, we didn’t get any Thanksgiving turkey either! That mysterious red thing is vereh strange! We are curious to see what your Christmoose present is. The box of packing peanuts is a bonus – you should take a running jump into them…your person will smile to see them scattered all over the floor and you having fun 🙂

    That is what is considered a bonus? At least they could have put in a mousie or something fun! We hope your gift is way better than the bonus!

    Yuk! It looks like red jello. I bet that was put there to guard your gift. At least Cat Claws freebies are nip toys.

    Does this red thing stick to a wall and wiggle down like a bug for kitties to play with? Bet that whatever was in the box for you at Christmas will be worth it.

    Yes, maybe if you should water it so it can grow into a real toy!

    Well, if your present was in that box, it must be something really big!! That red thing is only good for whapping, if you ask us.

    We think the box and all those packing peanuts look like MUCH more fun that the red thing. Did you jump in the box and scatter all those peanuts everywhere?? LOL!

    That is a funny looking red thing. Maybe it was there to scare you Sparkle. But it didn’t do a very good job. That sure is a big box, so it must be an exciting present. Hope you have a great Friday.

    Certainly that red thing is not the only thing that was in that huge box. Can’t wait til Christmas to see what was in the box.

    Have a great day.

    Sometimes those mysterious things scare us. . That one looks like a scary monster. I’d be careful of him if I were you.
