See this big box under our naked Christmas tree??  (Yeah, mom still hasn’t put the toys…I mean ornaments…on the tree!)  It’s our Secret Paws package that the man in the bloo shorts brought yesterday!!  (‘Cept it’s so cold, he’s not wearing shorts now.)  

 

Mom says we can’t open it yet…we hafta wait until closer to Christmas!!  But I told her there’s something alive in there ‘cuz I heard some squeaking coming from it!!  What could be in there?!?  A mousie??  Or maybe a birdie??  I don’t think I can wait much longer to find out!!!

  2. cindy Says:

    Only 2 more weeks to go and you can rip it open. I hope the birdie or mousie doesn’t die before Christmas.

    We can’t wait to see what toys go up on your tree.

    I’m participating in Secret Paws for the first time this year and I’m so excited! I hope you got lots of cool stuff in that box!

  8. Madi and Mom Says:

    Hi Ernie…I see you are keeping an ‘eagle’ eye on that package. Don’t you just hate waiting to open a present? I bet it is full of wonderful goodies and fun things.
    Can you smell any catnip? If so that must be driving you batty.

    So the ornaments are ‘really’ Toys!!! Let the games begin.
    Madi and Mom

  9. The Monkeys Says:

  10. The Paw Relations Says:

    Wow, how very exciting! We hope you manage to wait!

  11. Toby and Leia Says:

    Hm… that would be an awfully big mousie!! Maybe it’s a herd of mousies!

  12. FourCrazyCats Says:

    This is very exciting…I can’t wait to see what you got!!

  13. dma Says:

    my neighbor kid used to have a tricycle that squeaked. maybe it’s a tricycle.

  14. The Kool~Kittie~Krew Says:

    WOW!!! A pressie already?!? We wish mom let us pawticipate in the Santa Paws, but found out about it too late. Oh well…there’s always next year! We can’t wait to see what’s in there!!!

  15. Gracie Says:

    Wonder what is insdie? That sure is a nice big box. I don’t think it is fair that you have to wait. My mom has my packace and is saying that I have to wait too. No fair.

  16. Angel and Kirby Says:

    That is a big box! You must have lots of goodies in there.

  17. CCL Wendy Says:

    Oh, the anticipation! It’s a killer! But that’s what Crismouse is all about!

  18. Amy & The House of Cats Says:

    Oh the early presents are the hardest because you have to wait for so long with them. It is a big box so I bet it has great stuff in it for you all!

  19. Milo and Alfie Says:

    We fink we know wot’s in there squeaking … it’s Chrismouse!!!!! We bet yoo are VERY excited!

  20. Brian Says:

    Oh I don’t think I could wait either, maybe y’all can figure out how to open in and rescue the squeaky thingy!

  21. The Creek Cats Says:

    We think you guys need to figure out a way to get that box open!

  22. kodak, 3 Perf and Blossom Says:

    wow-that is a big box. Mom must have been a major blog slacker and missed the secret paws! Does the man in the blue shorts scare you? our doggie sometimes barks at him/her…..they are still in shorts here!

    We can’t wait to see what you got in your big box!

  23. Daisy the Curly Cat Says:

    Waiting is so hard! Maybe you can chew a little hole in the box and take a little peek…

  24. Sammy and Andy Says:

    We think those noises warrant immediate opening of that package!!!!!
    Ma and all of us want to thank you so very much for helping make her
    90th so very special. xxxxxxxx

  25. Raymond and Busby Says:

    Our Moms must be related, because our tree isn’t decorated yet either!

    We suggest sitting on top of the box to see if you can feel any vibrations.

  26. Jasper McKitten-Cat Says:

    That is very very exciting! Can’t wait to see what’s inside.

  27. Lizzie and Connor Says:

    Can’t you claw a corner just a little bit to get a peek? That’s what we would do!

  28. Kim A. Says:

    Ooh, a surprise! I hope it’s lots of good kitty treats, but I don’t think a mouse or bird would smell very good, trapped in a box for a week or two. Probably not something you’d want to play with, either–they wouldn’t be moving or squeaking anymore, and what fun would that be?

  29. Max Says:

    OPEN IT!!!! We wanna see!!

  30. JB Says:

    Oh my gosh! I bet it is a real live mouse!
    –JB

  31. Marg Says:

    Oh gosh, you had better open that box real soon if there is something alive in there. It needs to get out of the so you can chase it. What fun. You are going to have a great Christmas.

  32. Lynx217 Says:

    we think you can open it without any human intervention!

  33. Ginger Jasper Says:

    Wow thats a huge package.. I bet you have so many goodies in there.. Mmm Squeeking what can that be.. Hugs GJ xx

  34. V-V Says:

    Oh noes!!! but Chrissymouse is way too far away!!! I would take a peek at least! hehehe
    Thank you for your birfday wishies guys :) )

  35. Catline Crew Says:

    I chew holes in boxes. Maybe I could teach you how so you could take a peek.

  36. The Kitty Krew Says:

    Oh no, sqeaky-ing! You may end up with real live fresh dead mousies for Chrismouse! MOL Too bad you have to wait… *sigh*

    Purrs and hugs,
    The Kitty Krew

  37. Cats in trees Says:

    Tomorrow is closer to Christmas. Can you open it then?

  38. Cat Lady Diary Says:

    Oh my gosh…how many days to wait?

  39. BeadedTail Says:

    Do you really have to wait for Christmas to find out what’s in that box? Open, open, open!

  40. meowmeowmans Says:

    You have to wait until Christmas to open it??? The suspense is driving us crazy!

  41. Deborah Says:

    I can’t wait to see what’s in the box!

  42. Fin Says:

    Nibble an edge and look!

  43. Sparkle Says:

    Oh no! You have to wait until CHRISTMOUSE??? That’s torture! It’s bad enough that I have to wait until my human gets back from out of town to open up mine, and that’s only a day away! Definitely I agree with some of the other kitties – nibble open a hole. Or better yet, nibble open a hole, then tear the hole even larger with your paws!

  44. Cat with a Garden Says:

    We too want to know what’s in there so badly. You’ve got to pounce, eh rescue, what is squeeking in there!

  45. KC Says:

    Hee hee hee hee.

  46. KC Says:

    Could it be a box of voles? Hee hee hee.
