Comments: and then there's always the bow

Oooh...a wondefully evil idea.

Amazingly enough, your cat is dumber than mine. She's smart enough to run when the wrapping paper comes out. Damn!

LOL. That's one thing I miss about the boys' cats. They never have figured out the whole how-to-get-the-bow-off-the-head thing. ;)

i would love to have seen that - my cats love paper bags, and will be carried around in them like groceries by the kids. something about paper attracts them, i think...

I found you by way of BE and I've just finished reading several of your posts. I am proud to say you have now been added to my blogroll. :)

My cats have been either remarkably smart or very sensitive about what's in their own self-interest. They wouldn't go near wrapping paper OR bows.

Very funny.

My cats ADORE Christmas. I often find ribbons all over the place -- tied around the legs of the chairs, hanging from the lamps . . .

Good grief, if my cat ever figures out how to climb the tree like in that link in Dr. Sypder's comment, we are so dead. She really is so dumb that she doesn't realize she can climb.

And yes, he really and truly wrapped her. I heard him contemplating wrapping techniques with the older son, and one of them mentioned timing her, so I've hidden the tape. The cat, still too dumb, keeps going and sitting on the new wrapping paper, almost as if she's wanting to do it again.
