This Christmas was going well. My humans didn’t try to clip my claws because they were too busy baking, but then . . .
. . . they belled me!
I was really miffed, but then got distracted by the scent of butter-flavored Crisco
just long enough for them to get a decent shot of me!
Then I figured, “That’s it! If these humans aren’t going to take this thing off of me, I’ll chew it off!” They finally got the message. Whew! This holiday season (and the next, and the next), whatever you do to celebrate, DO NOT BELL YOUR CAT! It interferes with mousing abilities, enhances biting, and probably causes one kind of cancer or another. It surely causes shredded hands.

She didn’t bite or scratch, she just gave the stare of death. Still, she seemed to take it better than toothbrushing or a bath.
