Life Is Funny: Present Pusher and Pattycake

By Ginny (MAD21)

December is our cat KC's favorite time of year. Why you might ask? Well, our couch is moved in front of the front window where the afternoon sun shines in which makes a comfy place to stretch out while taking her afternoon nap. But not only that, we have our Christmas tree up. If she isn't on the back of the couch, she is under the tree. We even have a little ornament hanging in the center of one of the bottom branches just for her entertainment.

As is our tradition, we put up all of our Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. And not to make anyone envious or anything, but we also have most of our Christmas shopping done, and presents wrapped. KC has spent the last week diving in and out from under the tree. And since I am the object of most of her pouncing/attacking, you can be sure that I am aware of the fact that I will be attacked any time I am walking near the tree. No claws and all in fun, of course.

What has been funny this year, however, is that KC has somehow decided that she no longer is happy with the little space that we leave for her under the tree. She is now resorting to pushing all of the presents back out from under the tree. So, several times a day I find myself having to push the few gifts we still have actually sitting under the tree back into place. I figure it just adds to her long list of things to do during the day. Maybe, eventually, she'll get tired of moving the gifts and will just settle for the space we've left her... in theory anyway. She is a cat after all.

Unfortunately, I don't have any video of KC pushing the presents out from under the tree. That would be awesome, I know, but she's too stealth about it. But here is a hilarious video that someone put together in case you feel something lacking.
