No
matter if we are six or ninety-six, people never outgrow the thrill of
unwrapping packages to see what’s inside. The cats, however, are more interested in
the aftermath of gift opening.

| Frank vs. the orange cat toy (too exhausted to stand) |
While
their people are preoccupied with new gadgets and baubles, cats have free reign
of the house. They take full advantage
of unsupervised time to raid the Christmas goodies, climb into gift bags and
boxes, shred discarded wrapping paper, and chase ribbon. Styrofoam packing peanuts are especially
exciting. They static cling to
the cats’ fur so the cats think the peanuts are attacking and run, roll, and
wriggle to get away.
Out of a feeling
of Christmas good-will, I won’t list the clowder’s punishable offenses. Let’s just say that they enjoyed the
celebration as much as we humans did.
