Goody Exchange: purrrfect presents

June 11 /08

Well, we got to see first-hand tonight just how happy the Goody Exchange can make you.

Beauty opened the most amazing package from JB, Misty and PooPoo, and I don't know who was more excited - Beauty, me or Mama!

The package was actually sent to both Beauty and Rugrat, but we know how special our dear Rugrat is. She lives in a bedroom closet and she only comes out in the middle of the night. We tried to coax her out to open up the package with Beauty, but she was too camera-shy. Mama brought some of the gifts up to her and she's playing with them right now next to Papa's slippers.

Anyway, Mama put the package on the kitchen table with Beauty and sliced the sides of the box open so Beauty could smell what's inside. Well, I have never seen Beauty so buzzed. She was sniffing that box and rubbing herself all over it. Then when Mama opened it, Beauty jumped right inside it and started twisting and turning all over the place. She was so excited!

Inside the box was a really nice note from JB, Misty and PooPoo written on cat stationery, some balls, a Cat Dancer toy, Fancy Feast in four flavours, and all kinds of snacks. There were even two metal catbowls. And the best gift of all: CATNIP! Beauty and Rugrat love catnip and I'm beginning to see why. Haw haw...

Anyway, I think that stuff went right to Beauty's head because she started acting like a real silly kitten. I knew she'd lost it when she started sprawling across the table and kicking her little legs out and rolling her eyes. And she was all twisted up like a pretzel and her tongue was spinning around. Geez, she scared me. I've never seen Beauty so - I don't know - happy!





Mama was laughing so much. She also never saw Beauty let her furs down like that. Then again, Beauty's never been around that much catnip before!




Mama put some of the food in her new bowl and she went at it like a crazy maniac. It must have been pretty delicious. I gave her my best Boxerbrowneyes but she wouldn't give me any. Then Mama put one of my cookies on the table so I'd have something to eat too but I wouldn't touch it. That's how good Beauty's food smelled. Or maybe it was the catnip. I'm not sure.


All I know is that I had the hugest spit dribble hanging out of my mouth. It was so long that right after this picture was taken, it touched the floor.




I didn't get any of her food so I walked away, and suddenly I was lying on my back and kicking my legs up in the air. Then I konked right out and had the sweetest dreams...it was the strangest thing ...

Later I saw Beauty fast asleep right there on the kitchen table, all tucked up with her catnip pouch, looking so content. What IS that stuff??


Oh here's Beauty now. She wants to say thanks to JB, Misty and PooPoo:

Hi, JB, Mithty and PooPoo.

Edgar and Clara both love that catnip stuff. Dawson tries to eat it, but it doesn't seem to change him. He is pretty dingy without it. I am not sure if it was the excitement or catnip that made you go to sleep. Maybe boxers have special smellers for the stuff.

Hi Chef!
And hi to Beauty and Rugrat! I am so glad you liked my package. I sent you some of my very favorite things. The catnip pillows always make me go wild! I am sorry that Rugrat is so scared and lives in a closet. My sister Misty used to live under a bed and only came out in the night too! But then she had a kidney removed a couple years ago and she now comes out and hangs out all the time.....cats are odd creatures aren't they?
Oooh, looks like Chef got caught up in the catnip too?
Hope you liked everything, and have fun!!! Loved your slide show!

Chef!!!

You cat sister looks so happy! She looks a lot like Satan after some catnip! And I just don't get it, I don't see why they like it so much. I even ate some of that stuff and it didn't do anything!

I don't know why you haven't recevied my package yet. I sent it out a while ago. They said you would have gotten it by Tuesday, but apparently they lied! It was all lies! I knew I should have over nighted it! Silly human!!!

I hope you get it soon!

Slurp!

Sharon said...

Chef! I see that you have to live with cats too! They sure are nosy things! You should have eaten that cookie! Don't let a cat ruin a great snack!

hey Chef, that's the coolest drool that we've ever seen. you're really good at that.

that kitty package was pretty amazing. we don't know much about cat stuff, but we have heard about catnip. it seems to have affected you. was it weird? are you part cat now?

woofs.

Pippa said...

Hiya Chef
I can't believe how well behaved you are living with TWO cats. Although maybe Rugrat doesn't count if she is always hiding in the closet. Still I can't believe you don't chase Beauty round all the time. Anyway that was very good of JB and co to send R&B such nice presents. JB is topcat as cats go.
Mistress wants me to say she liked your garden pictures but I don't want to encourage your mama too much because if mistress sees more flower pictures on other blogs she will put them back on mine and I have only just got rid of them.
Catch you later. Off for a snooze. Or I maybe I will eat raspberries with mistress.
