puddy-the-red-nosed-cat

So, I wake up on Christmas Eve, groggy as all hell because I'd stayed up until three a.m. to wrap the rest of the presents. (And because my dad was having to hide my mom's presents at our house, I was wrapping those, too.) I stumble semi-blindly into the office and plop in front of the computer to check e-mail, and the cat rises up out of her basket to greet me and something seemed odd... and I squinted, and then I realized it wasn't bad enough that Carl had tried to wrap the cat, now he had given her a bright red nose:

That's red ink. (It's washing off.) Thank God I got there before he had figured out how to wire little antlers on her head.

(And she's so dumb, if given a choice, she'll go love on him first. She has no idea of the amount of times I have saved her so far.)

Haha, the Rudolph the Ren-nosed cat? I dunno, not sure it would catch on :) Love your blog, btw!

I mean, RED-NOSED, not ren-nosed. Typos will be the death of me one of these days...

Still love your blog ;)

Carl is a bad bad man.

Did he get a lumpa coal for Christmas? (he shoulda)

Don't worry Terri, one day Carl will wake up and find that the cat came to her senses and she will have shredded all that is holy to him!

Let's pray it's soon!!

Hope your hols were good!

Happy New Year.

I'm suprised the poor lil kitty didn't try to lick off the ink. Could easily poison a cat that way, I bet.

HAHAHAHAHA.

That sounds like something my boyfriend would do. Poor kitty. Did he suffer any retaliatory scratches?
