Christmas

Christmas. I don't understand Christmas. It is so confusing and contradictory.

First there is this Santa Claws that everyone talks about! Who is this cat and why is he so famous? I hate other cats. My caretakers talk about Santa Claws leaving presents and they are happy. But when I leave presents they are upset. It is not fair. I hate Santa Claws.

Christmas also combines other things that I hate, abandonment and winter. First they abandon me for days, then they return, then they abandon me again, then they return, then it's over. And when they are here they keep letting me out into the cold snow! I think that it is all designed as a form of psychological warfare against me, trying to see if I crack under pressure.



And then there is the tree. It is so pretty and smells good. But they won't let me touch it. I want to play with the bright shiny balls that they hang from it but they won't let me! Why hang play toys in front of me and then stop me from playing with them. Yet another form of Christmas torture! They won't even let me help water the tree!

But there is one thing I like about Christmas. I always get new little toys that smell good and when I lick them I feel happy, oh so happy. Then it wears off…
