Very Bad Puss and the Nativity Set

I’ve always wondered why cats love boxes. Ours got in a suitcase once when I was packing to go away. It was his way of saying take me too! We made him a special sleeping place which he ignored!

Ah its half term.

I also really appreciate that you made a Nativity set for the DGCs and one that they can play with. I am a FIRM believer that children should have a Nativity they can use for play - this is how they internalize the Christmas story. When my stepdaughter was young, I made a Nativity for her from plastic canvas and yarn, using a kit. Now that she's grown up, my parents have it for the younger GC.

Tiggy is re-enacting a beautiful Christmas story that Jesus shivered with cold and only stopped shivering when a tabby cat lay next to Him. It is said that this is why all tabby cats have an M on their forehead, to show they are descended from Mary's cat.

(We do not have a manger set up yet but as you can see Qi (cue), one of our girls, is a Mary's cat. This is Qi enjoying her new box.)

Thanks for the giggles!

He’s the reason for the season.

You should never let a comfy sleeping place go to waste. Cats Code.

Joseann Perhaps you should rename him Godzilla, looks so out of proportion to the Christmas scene.

Join the club Witzend. Cheeky things!
Our one here is trying to become part of the Christmas scene on the sideboard.

How nice of you to create a decorative box for your pussy cat to sleep in .

One Christmas , my mother who hated the holiday had just finished decorating our Christmas tree .

We sat down to supper and I noticed that the tree was swinging to and fro like a pendulum and with increasing speed .
Our cat had climbed up to attack a bird decoration and in her enthusiasm wrecked the tree .

A few Christmasses ago ,
I had just finished decorating a tree with glass baubles when there was an almighty crash .
My three dogs had taken the baubles off it at one side and pulled the whole thing over .

I’m sure it still brings a smile to people’s faces with the furry addition. 😺

He looks so happy sitting there.

How lovely, made me laugh!

Cats choose some strange places to sleep (ours play musical beds) but he's clearly picked one that's very comfortable - must be all those knitted figures ...
