I got my pet talk gift today. Since I do not have a digital, and since a picture is worth 1000 words, I will have to just use 1000 words. Here goes:
I bring the package into the house and immediately am greeted by the substance control officers sniffing for illegal hallucinogenic drugs (i.e. Catnip). That is until Sterling decides that the string around the box is a great toy.
OK, I got the string away from Sterling. Now I need to get the paper off the box. (not an easy task..............TAPE!!!!!)
When I get the paper off, guess what I find on the box? More TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was there a sale???
Now I try to open the box, but the weight of 2, no make that 3, impatient kitties is making this impossible.
With the box open I see a card and a large gift bag with a cat (of course) on it. But not your ordinary cat. It is one of those large-eyed distorted comical cats. I love them, they are so funny. This bag is completely covering what is underneath, so I am literally shocked at the (and I am stumped for a word here........ORGY comes to mind), of gifts I find under this bag.
By the way, by now, more of the cats realize that something is UP and they don't wish to miss out. So as I dig through the box Jim, Kim, Sterling, Bonnie, Monte, Lucas, Jasper and Ashley are all eyes!!
OK. we have catnip, we have furries, and we have 13 gift bags filled with toys (all equal of course) with each of the cats' names on them. They are tied so nicely with a ribbon, but I can't get the ribbon off fast enough to suit the cats! There was a catnip "roll", a fur mouse and a crotched ball in each bag. (And by the way, catnip and fur are my cats' 2 most favorite things)
OK. They all have a toy and I can dig further into the box. Yes, there is more!
Catnip tea for Charlie and me (Intoxicate ourselves while the cats do the same)
A puzzle playground and cheese nips for the mice. (and the sender was embarrassed that she did not know the mousies' names)
A feather pole toy and a whole bag of feathers (something I mentioned in my profile)
A cat angel keychain, for my keychain collection. (I'd have been happy with this alone).
And way on the bottom a T-shirt that says "HOME IS WHERE THE HAIR IS" (have you seen my house by any chance???)
AND
A 2nd T-shirt of a Persian cat (with the droopy type face) that says "I AM SMILING"
All in all WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!!!!!!!! My heavens, the postage alone went over the $$$ limit!.
A huge thank you to Vickie, aka SLICK
P.s. The cats are all winding down from their catnip high (and I noticed Calvin joined the ranks, he must have stolen someone elses' toy because I did not see him come in the room to get his own)
:D :D :D
