Well I got my shopping done, and I actually wrapped the presents in the same day. As I was wrapping the gifts, I had one cat lying on the paper, 'holding' it down for me. I had another cat chewing on the curling ribbon; or rather, 'cutting' it for me. The 'cutting' cat also liked to play in the discarded plastic from the rolls of wrapping paper; he took off with a bit of plastic and I had to hold him down while removing the stuff from his mouth!
The presents for my daughter, which of course are not from me, but from Santa, I hid in the garage. The presents for family and friends, sitting in a spare bedroom, later on became a bed for another one of my cats; a little angel named "Dusty" who perched her pretty lil self on top of my dad's present. Like a grey, furry bow.
Do you lock your cats out of your room while wrapping presents?
Or, let them share in the joy?
And on Christmas morning -- while unwrapping presents (or whenever you gift-give in your house), do the cats take such great interest in all that wonderful, crunchy, ripped up wrapping paper? To me, that's half the fun!
