For Christmas this year, my wife made me a wonderful plaid flannel bathrobe.
Unfortunately, one of the cats peed on it.
The cats were restless last night, since we’re visiting my mom, who also has a cat, and they don’t have the run of the place like they’re used to. At some point in the middle of the night, my wife had laid my new Christmas bathrobe over the boxes of presents we brought, which they felt personally entitled to. Her plan worked for the most part; they didn’t tear open any gift wrapping.
But, either out of frustration, or because they forgot where their temporary bathroom is, they decided to take a leak on the comfiest surface available—my robe. Fortunately for me, I discovered that shocking fact before sliding an arm through a kitty-drenched sleeve. Oh well, that’s why God invented washing machines.
Miraculously, the wrapped presents below fared far better, although the imported beer I got for my brother in law got a bit of a golden shower. Too bad for him he doesn’t read my blog, or he’d know which bottles to avoid.
The other unintended target was a bag of potpourri. The resulting combination, Cat Pee Potpourri—now a registered trademark—will soon be available at WalMarts everywhere.
If you can’t find it, check the closeout rack, next to the Duck Dynasty T-shirts.

LAUGH-N…for two days now that has happened here too…no potpourri though
Sounds like you need some potpourri
That’s why we don’t have a Christmas Tree! 🙂 I keep the gifts in clear recycling bags. It’s easy to replace a bag. I would think about the cats spending their vacation in the bathroom next time. We don’t usually go anyplace for long, too many animals, they would pee because they got left home. We only get to go if it is a nice day out. Oh, don’t feel too bad, my husband’s feral, barn-cat shreaded his best computer chair last night. It’s been too cold to leave any pets outside in Maine. The lake has snowmobile tracks on it today! Never in my memory has it been this cold, this soon! Pound on your hoods before starting up vehicles, folks!
Too funny Jim and Carla! What a “wonderful” story to start my Xmas morning w/ a big smile on my face! XO
Glad it made you smile Claudine!
Haha! Poor kitty, having to pee on your robe like that. 😉
Yeah right, poor kitty.

I haven’t put up a Christmas tree in years, mainly because of my cats. Currently I have 5, I had 6 but he passed away on December 4th.
Now about that robe. Is your wife taking orders? I’d love a homemade flannel robe. She should sell them as I’d surely buy one. 🙂
BTW, yesterday for Christmas dinner, I fed my 83 year old Italian father and my 48 year old brother vegan lasagna with vegan meatballs and Tofurkey Italian “sausage” and they effing LOVED it!!!! I used the Tofutti Ricotta *cheese*. I found it at Stop & Shop (of all places).
