On the 12th day of Catmess my human gave to me…
12 cardboard boxes
11 tins of tuna
10 lizards leaping
9 lasers dancing
8 mice-a-squeaking
7 salmon swimming
6 catnip mouses
5 SHINY THINGS!
4 paper plates
3 scratch posts
2 belly rubs (because the 3rd I’ll bite)
And a Pawtridge in a PURR TREE.
OR aptly named, how to keep a cat happy!
