Oh wait, I'm not supposed to count anything. Cats can't count.

I'm so lucky. I got to stick around and post another thousand times.
And it's been quite awhile since anyone told me to shut up.
I think luckey told me yesterday morning... Very Happy

Thanks, Santa. Very Happy

Who says cats can't count? We most certainly can! How else would we know if the humans gave us what we are supposed to get?

Congratulations on 5000 (although it's more now Wink

).

Had I realized you were just trying to hit 5k that much sooner, I'd have let it slide. Wink

Congrats SH Very Happy

Did your human manage to wrap all her Christmas presents this year?

WRAPPING PRESENTS WITH A CAT IN THE HOUSE:

1. Clear large space on table for wrapping present.

2. Go to wardrobe and collect bag in which presents are contained, and close door.

3. Open door and remove cat from wardrobe.

4. Go to cupboard and retrieve rolls of wrapping paper.

5. Go back and remove cat from cupboard.

6. Go to drawer and collect transparent sticky tape, ribbons, scissors, labels, etc.

7. Lay out present and wrapping materials on table, to enable wrapping strategy to be formed.

8. Go back to drawer to get string, remove cat that has been in the drawer since last visit, and collect string.

9. Remove present from bag.

10. Remove cat from bag.

11. Open box to check present, remove cat from box, replace present.

12. Lay out paper to enable cutting to size.

13. Cut the paper to size, trying to keep the cutting line straight.

14. Throw away first sheet because cat tried to chase the scissors and tore paper.

15. Cut second sheet of paper to size by putting cat in the bag the present came out of.

16. Place present on cut-to-size paper.

17. Lift up edges of paper to seal in present, wonder why edges now don't reach, and find cat between present and paper. Remove cat and retry.

18. Place object on paper, to hold in place, while cutting transparent sticky tape.

19. Spend next 20 minutes carefully trying to remove transparent sticky tape from cat with pair of nail scissors.

20. Seal paper down with transparent sticky tape, making corners as neat as possible.

21. Look for roll of ribbon; chase cat down hall and retrieve ribbon.

22. Try to wrap present with ribbon in a two-directional turn.

23. Re-roll up ribbon and remove paper that is now torn, due to cat's enthusiasm in chasing ribbon end.

24. Repeat steps 12-22 until down to last sheet of paper.

25. Decide to skip steps 12-16 in order to save time and reduce risk of losing last sheet of paper. Retrieve old cardboard box that you know is right size for sheet of paper.

26. Put present in box, and tie down with string.

27. Remove string, open box and remove cat.

28. Lay out last sheet of paper. (Admittedly this is difficult in the small area of the toilet, but try your best!)

29. Seal box, wrap with paper and start repairs by very carefully sealing down tears with transparent sticky tape. Now tie up with ribbon and decorate with bows to hide worst affected areas.

30. At time of handing over present, smile sweetly at receiver's face, as they try and hide their contempt at being handed such a badly wrapped present.

Thanks for the balloons and the name-calling. It surely helps keep me here, to see all the adulation you bestow on this humble cat. Cool

@Daisy and Nanny - Actually, as soon as the bag of presents came out, I crawled inside and fell asleep for four hours. Wink
