Sassie Says--Christmas is for Cats

Every year around this time, my family begins to do strange and mysterious things. First, they bring a large, green, bushy thing called a 'tree' into the house. My dad moves it around for an hour, mumbling under his breath, while my mom stands in the background and says, "I still don't think it's straight!"

After they prop up the green thing, they spread toys called "lights" and "ornaments" around the floor. I chew on them. For some reason my parents get upset and yell, "Stop, Sassie!"
I ignore them, of course.

When they finish, I try to take a nap. I sleep as close as possible to the tree to make sure it doesn't move.


Usually, my mom has lots of fun "presents". I try to look into them and tear the paper off of them. More yelling. Sheesh! What's with these people?


Plus, since's Peeve's 'accident', my mom says my siblings and Peeve are expensive. Perhaps my Christmas wish will finally come true and she'll make them all leave home. I'll be an only child!
My father says he thinks I paid to try to have Peeve "whacked." I resent this implication. I don't have any money.


See you next month for more insightful wisdom and insights from me,


P.S. My mom says she is behind on posting and reading blogs but she will try to visit everyone soon!

  1. Poor Sassie! You are so misunderstood. And it just seems like a conspiracy to keep you from having fun.... ;o)

  2. Ever read the kids book the Cat Who Climbed the Christmas Tree? Quite an adventure. Looks like you are trying to re-live the story.

    Be safe. No more broken kitties!

  4. I don't know Sassie... With a name like that, we just can't take you seriously...
    Pam - I was telling my husband about your predicament and that was HIS idea! So of course I jumped right in. I'm glad you got a kick out of it!

  5. Cats, trees and presents make for one interesting month don't they? But I wouldn't give up any of them! Your tree looks so pretty.

  6. We know you didn't try to "whack" peeve! And to think your beans thought that! You look adorable trying to "peek" at pressies!

  7. Sassie, my cats, Zach, Mimi, and Popo, love the candy canes, ornaments, and lights too. I love when they sleep under the tree - they are adorable.

  8. At least you show some interest in what they are doing ! I was completely ignored by my cats when I decorated our "mini" tree. We will celebrate together with my son at his home, so we didn't put up a big tree.

  14. Ah Sassie sure Christmas is for cats. We have every year special kitty ornaments at the bottom of the tree. They can play it off and they love it.
    I like your tree. It is lovely!

  15. Ya know, I'm starting to believe that your cat really says all those things!!

  16. Nice to see you again Sassie! Of course, everyone knows that Christmas is for cats! We always have to leave a spot under the Christmas tree as my cat Didi loves to sit under it. Had a kitty several years ago who loved to climb the tree, and tree repellents never worked. We finally just removed all of the breakable ornaments and let Jackson enjoy herself.

    Happy Christmas!

  19. Loaded your blog post from my reader so that I could comment but decided to check my email first and saw your comment. How coincidental is that!

    Your cat posts are so funny. How is Peeve doing now?

  20. I think the cat posts might just be my favorite! I bet you are so right on with what Sassie is really thinking!

  21. Sassie, the tree is put up so you can climb the tree in the house and don't have to go out of the house to climb the trees outside. It may be too cold for you to do that now. :P

  22. My sweet Himalayans love to sleep under the tree. I think they enjoy the warmth from the lights. But they've never messed with an ornament and I find that odd. You are precious Sassie!
