Before my human brought out our Christmas gifts on Tuesday morning, she thought it might be fun if she sprinkled them with a bit of silvervine. The only problem was, she accidentally went a little overboard and spilled a lot on them! Seriously they were reeking when she put them down for us.
We were so high on silvervine that we did not really care about the presents! Here I am, halfheartedly playing with the first gift we opened — one of those circular things with fuzzy mice spinning around.
Binga just wanted to go back and huff the wrapping paper.
The next gift was one of those elaborate things that requires a bunch of batteries and instructions. My human was so proud of herself because she actually had the batteries on hand. Never mind that she had them on hand because she had to make an emergency run to 7-Eleven at 11 PM on Christmas Eve.
Of course, the 7-Eleven batteries, along with being overpriced, did not work! I may never find out what this thing is supposed to do.
Not that I cared. I was so high on silvervine that I wound up making love to the armoire!
The last gift seemed like an afterthought. Cheap ping pong balls from the drug store? Really!
Binga couldn’t even be bothered to get up for them.
At least Boodie enjoyed herself.
Until the silvervine got to her too. So yeah, this was not the most impressive Christmas ever.
Wow Boodie was looking very happy with the silvervine and you looked very mellow Sparkle!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
I think silvervine could make any Christmas more better!
Well you had double enjoyment. The Silver vine and the new toys. Looks like a lot of fun for all. Love the pictures. Take care.
We’re glad you had a Merry Christmas! Let us know what that one toy does!
I wish you happy Holidays and a lovely New Year filled with astonishing, breathtaking new experiences…Kisses.
I include here humans as well :).
Haha! You guys were just a little too buzzed to enjoy it all! (And y’know what?? Ping pong balls are probably one of our favorite toys…they’re ‘specially good to whap around about 3am when the humans are sleeping.)
This is the human slave to Jasmine, Joey, Eddie and Rosie. The kitties had a wonderful Christmas tearing open gifts (that weren’t theirs), knocking off and losing or breaking ornaments, barfing on a handmade poinsettia rug, doing “quality control” as I am making goodies for everyone…..the point is …..I need some of this Silver vine!!! Please!!
Rant over, sorry about that. Our human slave just drank something called Christmas cheer. She has calmed down now.
We want to wish everybody a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Jasmine, Joey, Eddie and Rosie
Peeps just don’t get it, do they? The nip and the vine (well… I’ve never had the vine but hear it’s excellent stuff) affect us in ways only we cats can understand. We all got nipped this Christmas. Gave us the munchies and then we all needed to sleep it off. purrs
I don’t know Sparkle, there really isn’t a bad time for Silvervine!
We won’t tell anyone you were all stoned on silvervine! MOL! Great presents that we’re sure you will love playing with once you all sober up. MOL!
Well, what’s impawtant is that you enjoyed the silvervine!
Moderation is key, kids!
lol! Your Human is soooooooo silly!
Whatever that silver vine stuff is, must be powerful if the human was affected! Wow!
Dear Sparkle, have happy Hollidays!
Class A drugs at Christmas!! Only way to get through I reckon 😉
Oh, but what a fun Christmas it was huffing silvervine and getting high. Bet she never does that again. 🙂
What was wrong with that Christmas??? Seems like a good time was had by all. MOL (btw – give the ping pong balls a chance….we love em here)
Wow..I don’t think I’m big enough for some of that silver vine stuff..we got a wavy scratchier thing that Aunt Susie keeps sleeping on..some sock catnip toys that our human Mommy made..a big fish shaped scratchier that hangs on the door knob..and some bags of cat treats..Yum..we had lots of fun with the catnip socks and gobbled down a whole bag of cat treats..Yum!!
From me..Baby Tali..My cat Mommy Molly..My cat Grandma Pudgy..My cat Uncle Chang..My cat Uncle Rascal..and My cat Aunt Susie..Hugs!!
Ha…Ha…Ha…Binga and Bodie are so funny !
May be your human should open the package and let’s ping pong balls roll ; )
Have fun
Xoxo
Well at least the Silvervine made you feel better about everything. …or made you forget!
; ) Katie
Ha Ha Ha , Ho Ho Ho !
You sure did have a blasted silverwiney Catmas 🙂
MOL! Wonder if too much silvervine is like too much egg nog for humans. Hmmm.
*hahahaha*
That looked like some real good silvervine!
(and a good Christmas)
Well, Sparkle, we hope the Silvervine part of your Christmas was good 🙂 We got some nippy toys that were fun for the first two seconds and we haven’t touched them again 🙂 We think the ping pong balls are great too!
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, HOllie
The silvervine and paper makes a perfect Christmas present. We would be happy with that.
Hey Sparkle! Mom brought home a ping pong ball today for me…what a bummer! It does nothing unless I do something ‘to’ it…personally I prefer that Mom or Dad be involved in my playtime…and if it has batteries??? Forget it! Scares me witless!!
We hear that silvervine will DO that… And (if we may mention), TBT bought a bunch of rechargeable batteries and a charger (of course) years ago and says it is one of the best things he ever bought!
HAHAHAHAHA! Well, I think Boodie’s pose kinda says it all…..You guys had a very IMPRESSIVE Christmas!
Noir
Looks like you had a Meowy Christmas and enjoy your fun gifts!!!
Hugs and happy New year 🙂
Ah yes, a bit too much of the tip! Enjoy!
MOL MOL MOL
So I guess you didn’t even get to enjoy the disappointed face of your human?
I had a silvervine toy as a gift. First time I tried it. I.LOVE.IT.
Purrs
The first time my Human gave me silvervine she TOTALLY overdosed me! She sprinkled like a whole half teaspoon or so onto a plate and let me lick it off. Whao, Nellie bar the door! I was so high she really thought maybe she’d killed me. Ha ha ha–good times, good times.
Yous spent Christmas Day STONED! how cool is that!
Kisses
Nellie
Well it certainly should be interesting to find out (eventually) what that battery powered toy does….it’s “the gift that keeps on giving” this Christmas apparently since you have to wait to find out….LOL….silverine makes everything all better doesn’t it?!?!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Tipsy? Tipsy is good any day of the week.
Well not EVERY holiday has to be stellar! Sometimes those “zoned out” ones are good too!
PURRS!
Selina
Looks like the silvervine was the best gift! MOL
Merry Christmas!
I LOVE seeing you girls and Boodie cracked me UP!
Oh my goodness.. that sounds like an interesting Christmas. Great pictures. =^..^=
I would think the Vine made it the most impressive Christmas! The vine is so fine! Love your invisible captions.
Oh my…what you crazy kitties get up to. We don’t know what silvervine is, but we do like us some catnip. The house cleaner, Chris, usually brings us some for Christmas but she didn’t this year. What’s up with that? You should check out “Nip Heads” on our blog to see what fun we had last year! Mom is headed to Google to check out silvervine. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette.
