"Pet Tails": 'Twas the Night Before Christmas... With Jay's Cats

'Twas The Night Before Christmas... With Jay's Cats

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the room,
Not a creature was stirring,
Except for the cats of doom.

As I lay in bed,
I heard such an awful noise,
I jumped up out of bed to see what was the matter,
Only to find Tabby's sick vomit splatter.

All the stockings were hung,
On the apartment wall by Jay with care,
But they were pulled down by Porkey,
Encouraged by another cat on a dare.

Athena was all comfy,
Laying on the couch sleeping,
She was the only one that I knew,
Was not up to anything.

Whiskers sat silently watching me,
Sitting over by the empty food dish,
Waiting for me to fill it,
That was his wish.

Next to the other pets was Sylvester,
Trying to paw through the cage doors at the critter,
Not being able to reach the gerbil,
Was really making him bitter.

What is up with my cats?
What is up with them?
Its fine to be crazy,
But its two AM!!

I fall back into bed with my blankets in a heap,
In hopes that I can still catch some sleep.
As I pulled up my covers over my head,
Merry Christmas to all my cats,
Now go to bed,
And get to sleep!
