Hi Peeps!! Happy Monday…………and it is a Happy Monday for me because we did NOT get any sizeable, measureable, meaningful snow this weekend………………..YAY!
See? No big deal right??!!
It also was nice because I got a BIG SURPRISE Saturday when Mr. Mailman visited. He bought me a GREAT BIG BOX. It was from my good friend King Spitty out in California and we didn’t know WHY we got such a big box from him until Mom opened the box and the card said HE was my SECRET SANTA!!!! WOOT!!! See we pawticipated in the Cat Blogosphere’s Secret Santa exchange this year for the first time…….we sent in info about ourselves and were randomly paired with other animal bloggers and Spitty got ME……how great is that? Anyway, since Mom had the box open (although I wasn’t allowed to see what was IN the box) I took the opportunity to nab a couple of sheets of pawsome and beautiful sparkly tissue paper Spitty and his human had put on top of the presents in the box. I immediately put the tissue with my “regular” tissue pile – it looks QUITE festive. I can’t WAIT to see what I got from Spitty. Maybe I can talk my Mom into letting me have JUST ONE before Christmas???
I also got some more ecards to share!
Tomorrow is Tuesday Teaser – don’t forget now! You wouldn’t want ME to win three weeks in a row and fool you again would you? Well then be ready at 6AM EST tomorrow morning and make your best guess – you know you want to win one of my Teaser badges right? Everybody wants one!
See you tomorrow boys and girls, animals and aliens – and until then have a PAWSOME Monday…………….I’m going to!

You have to wait until Christmas to open it up, Sammy? If we get our Secret Paws early, my human said we could open it up as long as the light is good enough for her to take photos! Counting the PetBox, we are getting lots of Christmases this year!

We LOVED having you for Secret Paws, Sammy. It was fun cause like me you’re an older single Boy so we has lots in common and plus you did a good job on the “questionnaire” that Truffle and Brulee made up. I think my Secret Paws (Manx Mnews–I wrote about them today cause *I* got to open my package!!) read my answers very carefully too. It was so great of Paula to have done all this 😉 My Human is thinking she’ll offer to help next year cause, sheesh! she needs to do sumfing (since obviously scouting isn’t her “priority.”) Pfft. XOXO

Well Spitty that mysterious box is going to be the highlight of my Christmas believe me. The more it sits on the desk the more I go over and STARE at it from the floor. Mom thinks it’s hilarious and I think it’s MEAN! I agree that Miss Paula did a SUPER job of handling Secret Paws – this was my first one and I think it had to be VERY hard to do all of that for 52 blogs! That’s a lot. I think if your Human thinks she has the time to help next year, Miss Paula would REALLY appreciate it. Lucky you got to open your Secret Paws package….sniff…..I’ll have to check out your bloggy today to see what you got!!!!!!
