Okay, unlike most cats I absolutely HATE this time of year. Maybe it's because I am much more intelligent than your average cat. I do not need to chase ribbon. I do not smack Christmas ornaments around. I do nothing with a Christmas tree other than sit under it waiting for it all to be over.
It's not because I am anti-Christmas, rather because I hate how crazy Humans get because of it.
Example:
H2 'What do you want for Christmas?'
H1 'Stop bugging me."
H2 'I need to know soon.'
H1 'I need to think about it. Every time you ask, just makes me want to think longer.'
H2 'When will you tell me?'
H1 'When I tell you.'
Do you have ANY idea what it's like to listen to that nonsense? I mean, Hello? If Human One does not tell Human Two soon, then he has no right to complain about what he ends up with. This is not rocket science.
Of course then there was the year when Human One started saying what he wanted months ahead of time. One day he said what he wanted. The next day he left out a magazine advertisement of what he wanted (with a picture, I should add). On the third day he left out a list of where the item was available to purchase.
Christmas comes, and...you guessed it...it wasn't under the tree. Here was that conversation:
H1 'Where's the castle?'
H2 'I got you the circus thing instead.'
H1 'We don't have a circus, we have a Christmas village. A Christmas village needs a castle.'
H2 'The village could have a circus.'
H1 'The village wanted a castle, not a circus. I asked for a castle, I left notes, I provided pricing, where it could be purchased, I did all the work for you, and I get a circus?'
H2 'You sound unhappy.'
H1 'DUH! You bug me every year for what I want, and finally I let you know way early, and then don't get it.'
H2 'FINE, FINE!' And Human Two picks up the circus, and with a flourish exits the living room and runs down the hall to his office very much like I would assume Scarlett O'Hara would exit a room if she was furious at Rhett Butler.
Several minutes later Human Two appears and states 'I ordered the damn castle, it should be here in a few days. I will return the circus!'
Hmm, Human's are funny creatures.
