Boxing Day………..yesterday was Boxing Day and I missed it……I’m ready now of course as you can plainly see but NOBODY TOLD ME so I missed out on showing my stuff in the ring……………..
I’m ready to rumble!
What? What did you say Mom? OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Not THAT kind of boxing……..you mean the cardboard boxing – I love boxes…..I even talked you into saving some of them from that mess you and Daddy made in the library with paper flying, ribbon ripping, boxes tossed to and fro….I rescued some and insisted you KEEP them for me! THAT kind of boxing.
Love those boxes!
Boxes with toys are even better!
Anyway, guess what else happened yesterday……we got MORE snow! We did…….close to two inches…….but late in the day it turned to rain which means we now have about two inches of SLUSH everywhere. Slush is nowhere near as pretty as snow. Oh well. Can’t have it all right?
I think a bunch of my friends are taking some extra time off for the holiday because I didn’t have a lot of “blog hopping/visiting” to do yesterday. Maybe today will be different…..I’m dying to know what everybody got from Santa Paws.
Well, please excuse me but I believe Mom and Dad are about to leave for the grocery store. Mom usually goes by herself but because we’ve got some icing on the roads, Dad is insisting on driving Mom there. I just want to check and make sure “SAMMY FOOD” is on the list – not that I don’t trust Mom to remember – but I don’t want ANY POSSIBLE EXCUSES……..yesterday I got my last container of my favorite food and the only stuff we have left in the cupboard is yucky.
A guy has to look out for his interests you know…………Happy Boxing Day Plus One!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy 😀 😀 😀

Oh now you’ve got the right idea with that cheeseburger thing…..my Mom ADORES them too. I think my Mom has bird seed on her grocery list since they have great big bags of sunflower seeds there too.

Hmmm…. I think you should get your peeps to get you your favourite food “by the box!” What a great box that would be, huh?
Did I tell you what I got for Christmas? Oohhh… it was great. Santa brought all us cats the nip toys the first peep had elfed. Also, three big bags of treats and several gift BOXES of Fancy Feast. Yum, yum… The peeps gave us some stuff, too. There was a box with several really neat toys and then another toy that came in a box all of its own. Think that was it. We had a very good Christmas.

Boxing Day scares me. I think it’s like getting a spankin’ – not that I’ve ever gotten a spankin’ before. Mom says it a lot though. Sometimes when she threatens a “spankin'” I run to the refrigerator because it sounds like she’s going to give me “BACON” and I love bacon.
