SKEETER: 
Well, we aktally got it a WHOLE WEEK AGO but just found out today. The Big Thing set it aside thinking it was a book he ordered, an when he looked at it he was SO embarrassed. When he turned it over, we could see it had OUR NAMES onit!
It was the prezzie from The Cats P! We guessed right that their Beins wouldn't finish a homework project on time, an our names got drawn from all the other kitties who knew that would happen.

But never mind all that. We got real ecited abut gettin a Prezzie! Efen if we should had it a WEEK ago when it arrived. We're gonna lick his toes for messin up, cause he hates that (he goes all squiggly/twitchy).

So, he finally opened the box.

The first thing we saw was paper with kitty paws all OFER it. That was cool. Ayla sniffed it all ofer.

Then she checked in the box ta make sure efrything was taken out. Ya dont wanna toss annything away inna prezzie box!. Oh, this is me, Skeeter talkin. I'm taking all the pictures too.

The first thing they noticed was the magic seal that held alla paper together. It say "Siamese Cat Rescue 10th Aniversary 1998-2008". Cool!

Then they found some cool edukational papers about the group (which Ayla read carefully).

Ayla was REAL suprist ta see a frigermater sticky thing wif her picture on it. The Big Thing put it way low on the cold box so she can see it lots! Like she isnt all full of herself as it is... (ahem).

But then the actual prezzie came inta view out of the pretty paper! Its a softie purring pad!

LC checked it out first an seemed ta like it..

Then Ayla brought a squiggle to put onit. I think she liked it too But of course, I will sit on it first (but I'm stuck with camera duty fer now). Nefer you mind, I hissed at them both ta say it was mine WHEN I get away from mr flashie camera!
[Ayla: We are jus bein kind ta the old far-, uh I mean, "Grand old guy". Cause old or not, he can still land on me like a box o' magazines, iffen ya know what I mean]

So, we are all loving the purr pad an expect ta all be usin it soon, takin turns, with ME first, of course. We decided ta put it on the ottoman.

And I WAS first ta aktally nap on it. I WAS nappin, but I sat up as soon as I heard The Big Thing turn on the camera. He surprised me though by not standin BEHIND the camera when he took this picture!
