Préparer Noël, Préparer Noël

You know that part in Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” when the kids’ presents turn into hideous, nightmarish monsters?

Yeah, well:

“Boys and men of ever-y age, do you want to see something strange?”

Oui, Mesdames et Messieurs: Louis Catorze has claimed, as his new bed, my nieces’ and nephews’ presents bag. Luckily each item is individually bagged, keeping them safe from the horrors of cat hair, flea poo and whatever else (I daren’t even think too hard about it). But that’s not the point. He has 9,062 other beds. He doesn’t need more beds. And he certainly doesn’t need something that was never designed to be a bed, as his bed.

Part of me has a good mind to wrap him up and send him along with the other parcels. But that would be too cruel, even to the ones who have been naughty (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).

It’s a good thing we are happy to have him as our gift this festive season. I guess someone has to.

  1. You can send him here for Christmas. He’ll be well treated. I’m used to being creepy stared and shouted at (thanks Tabbi Kat).

  2. Yes, Louis seems to be “the gift that keeps on giving.” But any new large soft structure is apt to become a cat bed. Joyeaux Noel !

  3. The last time we put up decorations (a few years ago now), one of our guys decided that the two stacked plastic bins we store the decorations in made the perfect bed/hangout spot. Those bins never got put away again. Do our cats have a million places to sleep? Yes, they do. Does that matter when one of them finds a new spot they like? This is why we can’t have nice things.
