Sandy Claws Exchange

Well, we had a lovely Christmas.. Please note there is a touch of sarcasm in those words. Being sick, I missed just about everything. And the kitties had gift exchange of sorts.

But why doesn't that make me happy, you might ask. Well, the gifts they gave each other were not of the sweet variety. No, not even close. And we had to hold them down to remove the gifts.

Sandy Claws gifts.

Ok, maybe they weren't sandy, but they were claws. They exchanged claw sheaths to the face. Isn't that the sweetest thing?

Star's was very evident, her face fur is thin and sparse so it was easy to find and remove, once her daddy held her still enough. You'd think she'd be happy to get rid of it. Leo's we found later. His face fur is thicker and full, and his was in his cheek verses between the eye and ear. We just knew there was something funny. So in his case, I did the holding and Greg did the pulling. Yup, an even exchange of claws.

Sigh.

I suppose we should be grateful, there have been few altercations, even if one did result in the aforementioned gifties.

On the good side, Star has been coming up to bed more. That might be the results of a new bedside feature we have. Temptations kitty treats. She KNOWS they are up there, she wants them. It's a good thing she doesn't know exactly where they are stored, or she'd ransack the room for them. But at least we get to see her up there more.

And here is another good present! When she gets those treats, she and Leo share the bed! At the same time! Leo, of course, won't touch treats for some weird reason, but he gets pets. So we're making them associate good things with sharing the bedroom. Hope it works!

And we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. The first few days of it anyway. Today being the Third Day of Christmas!

Saw these recently, had to share them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greg says I forgot to add the song that goes with the kitties gift exchange.. So here it is, sung to the tune of Jingle Bells.

 

I've got an old Tom Cat

And Santa is his name

I keep him nice and fat

But he hates me just the same

He got at me today

With those needles in his paws

And now I'm wearing bandages

On account of Santa's Claws!

 

(chorus doesn't go with the theme, but what the heck)

Jangle Bells, Jangle Bells, Jangle all the way.
We don’t know all the words but we’ll sing it anyway.
Jangle Bells, Jangle Bells, Ringin’ loud and gay.
We’ll be hearin’ Jangle Bells from now till Christmas Day.
