Yesterday I drove the cats and Jacob crazy. It was sort of fun and really not my intention. You see my birthday present from my MOM arrived yesterday. I brought the box in and placed it on my bed. Opened my mail and was exhausted from work. I am still recovering from surgery and I have very little strength or endurance. Desi my cat had already made himself comfortable on top of the box. He was all sprawled out and as happy as he could be. He was so cute I decided to lay down and let him have his fun. I knew Jacob would be home soon and would wake me up. I figured I would open my gift then.

Jacob came home and I just wouldn't wake up. He kept tugging at me "Honey don't you want to open your present. The cats are going nuts." My cats go nuts over boxes. They like to lay on top, or inside and they usually can't/don't wait until the box is empty. So at anytime there may be numerous empty boxes laying around the house.

I finally woke up after I realized that Jacob was starting to open my present. I told him to stop. I had decided at the time that it would be really cool to open my present when my mom called. She had told me she was going to call because my box hadn't arrived the day before and she was starting to get a little worried. My Mom lives out of state and we haven't spent a birthday together in 7 years. So like I said I thought it would be cool. Finally after 9:30pm and no call I opened my box. It wasn't difficult since the cats had already worked on it. As soon as the lid was off Desi planted himself right on top of all the tissue paper and started to tear into it. Soon all 6 cats were tearing into the box. I carefully extracted the gifts, put all the paper back and the cats have not stopped playing with their present since. Thanks mom for the great gifts. The kitties loved it.
