Thus far she has broken four glass ornaments, three Christmas cards, knocked fake candles out of their window holders, and attempted to eat a batch of cookies. I don't know why she hates Christmas so much, but I think it has something to do with her favorite toy, Moose, and her sworn enemy, the dog.
Last January we got an adorable puppy, Wolfie. Obviously, the cat was unhappy about the howling, smelly intruder, but nothing made her as mad as when he absconded her favorite toy, Moose, as his own plaything.
It had to have been especially difficult for her because Moose began as a stuffed Christmas ornament which became her toy after I got tired of hangin it back on the tree after she knocked it off for the eleventy-billionth time.
Clearly, Liesl and Moose were a short term fling because once the gigantic beast (pictured above with his toy, Mushu) decided that Moose would be fun for chewing, Liesl was no match for his exuberance. Maybe that's why she keeps knocking ornaments off the tree; she is still looking for her long-lost Moosie.
My cat hates Christmas. She has a kitler 'stache. I've watched her hiss at a 9 day old kitten. Maybe we should look into kitty counseling for her before the Peanut arrives...

Love it. We too have a Kitler (amongst a zillion other animals) and he was my biggest fear when The Bean arrived...he LOVES her. And he too had a romantic affair with a Christmas stuffed animal...
ReplyDeleteI nearly peed myself when I saw your comment. I love your blog and actually started this one because I didn't want to forget my own snarky (and joyful) pregnancy experiences. Thanks for reading!
