My daughter and her husband joined me and my two ginger cats for Christmas. The cats enjoyed playing with the Christmas present papers and ribbons, but usually in a busy house and being full of extra food, they would be nowhere to be seen for most of the day.
On Boxing Day, after having had our fill of turkey, we decided to have a leg of lamb for lunch. It was a large leg of lamb – a couple of meals and some sandwiches I thought. I got up earlier in order to get it cooked for noon and I gave my two cats a hearty breakfast. After a short spell in the garden, they both slithered off to their baskets in the lounge to sleep it off.
As we approached noon, my daughter set the dining room table, my son-

Story 1 sent in by Carol about her two cats Brandy and Champers
Four months ago we were told about a kitten that had been abandoned when a family
decided they would leave their rented flat and didn't want their pet, after weeks
of surviving on an estate and being shut out of peoples houses I went along with
box and gave him a home -
On Christmas day I went downstairs to be greeted by a dead mouse at the bottom of
the step, rather than wake up my husband I went about doing things (I am too squeamish
to pick it up) when he came down I asked him if he had seen it, he jumped thinking
he was going to step on it, unfortunately at this point it was behind him and he
landed straight on it -

Although Mr T is 15, this is his first Christmas with us, so we decided to spoil him. We always have stockings for the cats at Christmas, so he had one, too.
He loved all the fuss and attention -
"Hooray" I thought " I will have a peaceful night without a little furry person waking me up" .... Hmmm!
At about 2.30am on Boxing Day morning I awoke to hear strange noises. Scraping noises. Scratching noises. People might be breaking in type noises ...:(
I was very glad that we live on the top floor of a block of flats, as it makes the burglar situation unlikely.
The noises persisted. Chloe and my other half slept happily through it. So it couldn’t be anything too scary, could it? Was it, maybe, a very large mouse? It was certainly a scrabbling, scuffling noise. Plucking up courage, I grabbed my dressing gown and went to find out.
When I switched the living room light on, it looked as if a bomb had hit the place. Cat toys were strewn everywhere and the sofa cushions were every which way. But where was Mr T?
As I stood there, blinking sleepily, the rustling started again. Then two black ears appeared from the top of the waste paper bin.
Our kitty had decided to play with the thrown-
Once Id freed him from his wrappings, I took my "gift-
Happy Christmas, Mr T!

My cat, Gizmo, got a cat toy on a string in his stocking for Christmas. He loved
it.
Mistakenly we put the toy hanging from the front door handle. Needless to say,
all the visitors had to go round the back as every time we knocked the toy, he wouldn't
let anybody past because he was having so much fun trying to kill it! He was just
like a kitten again.

We left our pet cat in the care of the neighbours whilst we went on holiday. Jasper
had full rein of our house, and the neighbours. Apparently, he would scratch at their
back door for food, then run in, run straight through the house, and miaow at the
front door to be let out again. On our return, he was so cross with us, that he just
wouldn't settle, wouldn't eat, and kept running in and out. Finally, after three
days home, he has settled back down, and is now back to sleeping for long periods
on the sofa-

I felt so awful leaving our cat Missy on Christmas day because we had only had her a few months and her previous home had been a very unhappy place to be! However i knew i couldn't take her with me to other peoples houses so we though she would be okay being left alone. We spent the morning making a big fuss of her and giving her lots of presents (spoilt little thing!) and then when it was time to go out to visit our relatives we put her toys and treats in a gift bag. We got home and couldn't find her at all, then as we searched the house we found that she has escaped into the main living room, where we found baubles and decorations all over the floor, a half eaten, ripped open bag of catnip treats scattered on the carpet and her Christmas bag fallen over with her head stuck right in it! The little missus had decided she wanted her presents and couldn't wait for us to get home and after eating lots of catnip had had a crazy time attacking the decorations and playing with her toys! To top it off, whilst we were left cleaning up the mayhem of toys, treats and destructions, the little madam had gone and made herself comfy on my new clothes and went to sleep! The little tinker!

Our pet dog Ben got rather excited on Christmas day when my sister was opening her present.
He didn't mind it wasn't for him he was going to claim it as his own anyway and tried
dragging it across the floor as it was a bit too heavy for him to pick up. We are
still not sure exactly what use a Shaun the Sheep foot stall is to a dog but he seemed
to like it.

Christmas 2008 was a very special milestone in the lives of ferals Miss Cissy (14)
and her kids Smudger and ragamuffin who are 8 they spent their first Christmas on
the inside in our home all tucked up in their new radiator beds.
These 3 ferals came
from a colony who were being poisoned and in fact are the only surviving ones -
We did and the look on their faces when fresh turkey came delivered
on a saucer direct to their beds was one of complete and utter joy
Now all we have
to do is get them to the vet for injections and ID Chips -

Last year i turned 17 and my mum got me a kitten she was called midget, but in spring
of this year she was ran over and she died. so ever since then i wanted another kitten.
one day i went to work and the chef said that she had some kittens, so i went to
see them when i got there their was loads of them. Garfield was the only ginger one
and Winnie the only torter shell i wanted them both and my mum said i can. then i
had to take them home and introduce them to the cat misty 14 years old and the dogs
kia a 2 year old german shepherd, boxer 8 year old cross breed and dodger 5 year
old jack russel cross. kia thinks that garfield is her baby and is always trying
to sit on him, but she has nothing to do with winnie. Boxer keep him self to himself
and dodger just wanted to play. misty was the worst hissing and smacking them every
time they went past her. After i had them for a few weeks they had settled in, they
were in my bedroom second floor and they were playing on the window which i forgot
was open and winnie, garfields sister pushed him out of the window but he was ok.
My
dad came to see me one day because they were playing on the hay bails while he was
grabbing them with the tractor(cats mental)I am always getting told off for things
that they have done, the worst thing they have even do is mainly every night they
bring in a mouse but it is alive and they just let it go so it can run around the
kitchen(ha ha)
A few weeks ago jenna my sister got out of the car and did not notice
that winnie had all ready got in it. we never even noticed she had gone because they
dont always come for food, the next day jenna went to the car and there winnie was
asleep on the seat of the car.(she eat loads)
garfield just as bad he got locked in the tack room and the shed both in the same week. we have had some problems with garfield he has nose bleeds all the time we think he has allergies or a weak blood vessel.
the cats got to see snow for the first time this xmas and they loved it, they are
always playing it most of the time they are falling over but never mind. we have
a small christmas tree in the kitchen but all the kittens have taken all the icicles
off it and i went in the other day and found out that there was 2 light bulbs missing
and i have still not found then. thanks for reading my story

Our chocolate Labrador had a great time on Christmas Day. She opened all her presents
and danced around the living room floor playing with the Christmas paper. We then
went around my Mum and Dad's house. Straight away she took great pleasure in taking
the Christmas baubles off my Mum's Christmas tree and enjoyed being chased by all
the family. I managed to get the decorations out of her mouth just before she got
a chance to crunch them. After a lovely long Christmas morning walk, she made a great
fuss of all the guests and had her own bone while we ate Christmas dinner-

My cat Zodii is now 14 but on his first Christmas we were a little worried about how he would be with all the decorations and the Christmas tree as he had a habit of knocking over plants and plant pots.
He was really good all the way through Christmas with only a few minor infringement
but one night we could hear a funny noise from around the Christmas tree. We looked
under the tree to find him happily ripping into his Christmas presents and trying
to open the others too.
I think he thought that as he had been so good for so long he deserved a treat!!

to jump up at the tree to 'catch' the flashing lights. However, the tree toppled

he still received his Christmas Day dinner of giblets!

Whilst sitting down to Christmas dinner, we heard an almighty crash. I ran into the kitchen to find Lithium my little Lilac Burmese cat, trying to guard what was left of an 8 kilo turkey. Now she is quite a tiny girl at only 3.5 kilos, so this involved sitting on it & claiming it as hers with lots of comical posturing. It saved us from endless turkey sandwiches though & fed my 5 cats for nearly a week. She was far less impressed with the bath that was needed as the other cats kept trying to lick her clean!!!!

My border collie Meg loves to be part of the family and to join in with everything we do. I'd hidden a present for her under the tree amongst our presents and she went over to the tree and managed to find her own present and start opening it much to the amusement of all the family. She didn't try to open other presents just her own. She had a lovely day running around with her new toy showing everyone what she'd got. She's a star.

My 2 year old old son Charlie just loves our pets. Especially our 8 month old king charles puppy, Samba. He wrestles her and cuddles her and chases her around the house all day. She always lets him catch her and never flinches when he sits on her! On Christmas day Charlie decided that Samba would enjoy a ride in his new ride on digger. He dragged her into the front bucked and pushed the digger up and down the hallway for well over an hour. Every time she jumped out he retrieved her and got her straight back in. He only desisted when Tango our tabby cat decided she wanted to sit in the bucket instead but not while it was moving!

Millie is the newest addition to the family, she was found wandering the streets
only a few weeks old and taken to our local blue cross centre. Because she had to
fend for herself she has the habit of running off with things and hiding them. So
as kittens do, she decided that she should attack the Christmas tree, steal the baubles
and hide them under the sofa (I’m still finding rogue baubles around the house)and
then came the killer turkey. She tried to haul the whole turkey from the dinner table,
along with the brussel sprouts, table cloth and the christmas pudding. Our older
cat Gnasher just sat in the background rolling his eyes-

for her. Sitting relaxing with a book, I heard a whining coming from upstairs. Going
to investigate, I found Boodle sitting on the stairs shaking. I tried to shout her

This is usually the signal that the other dog
has done something and she is worried she will get the blame, but I knew Mindy was

Once finished, it looked beautiful, covered in cream and red cherries. She left it on the kitchen worktop whilst she prepared the tea table. When she returned to the kitchen to collect the trifle which she planned to put in the centre of the table as the centrepiece, she found that there was no cream on the top, except under the cherries. We found that Sue the cat had licked off all the cream but obviously the cherries were not to her taste.

Kitty's favourite toy this year was a little ball of green tinsel which she kept throwing up into the air with her paw's. Every once in a while she would pick the ball up in her teeth and run to a different part of the house. At about 2 a.m. on boxing day morning I was awoken by a scrabbling sound on the landing, and assumed the cat was playing with her ball of tinsel; after about 20 minutes of trying to get back to sleep I got out of bed and opened my bedroom door with the intention of confiscating the toy until day time; in the dark I could see the cat trotting towards me with what I assumed was her toy in her mouth, so I quickly bent down and grabbed it, but to my horror the ball started twitching causing me to throw it on the floor, I quickly put the light on and saw that it was a huge spider. We usually only get big spiders in the summer, so where she found it we will never know.
