On Christmas I posted a video showing a cat being gift-wrapped, patiently allowing itself to be encased in festive paper from head to tail. It even sported a ribbon on its head.
But of course that was a very unusual cat. Those of us who own normal cats know that if you try to wrap one, even with the lure of kitty treats, you’ll get something like this:

ROFL, that is so funny. Much more like what would happen if I tried to wrap my cat.
Precisely my reaction.
I particularly loved the cat pouncing on the scissors in the act of cutting.
Wonderful how we evolved to keep them entertained…
😀
no no no…
the problem here is that she obviously needed to wrap the head first!
Then the cat backs out of the wrapping.

By this stage, I would be scratched and cat would have left with aplomb muttering, ‘I think the staff have finally lost it.’
It’s easiest when the cat’s mummified. Otherwise you have to train the cat from a young age to sit still while you do silly things to it. Not just any cat will do. I’ve often wondered if I could train them to go swimming or sit in a tub like that cat in Japan, but I didn’t care to get a kitteh just to find out.
Too damn cute!
Happy New Year,

Real cats. I laughed and laughed and laughed more when I thought of us as kids trying put paper shoes on a cat; same result!
I ran across this on how you sleep after drinking illustrated by cats. https://p12.secure.hostingprod.com/@www.theqleaner.com/ssl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6&start=15#p25
Clearly, it is necessary to first securely enclose the cat inside a box. Cats already know this; refer to the “Maru” videos for many examples of a cat enclosing itself in a box without human assistance.

Haha, nice. I am gonna go share this on Facebook now. Kthxbye.
