under the mistletoe

Oof!  Oaf!  Lemme go, woman!  MOUSES!

I said, LEMME GO!!!

MOUSES!

You hard of hearin' these days, Peepers?  You been listenin' to too many Christmas carols and the like?  You blown an eardrum or somethin' like that?

OH MY MOUSES!  Were you listenin' to yourself?  Were you caterwaulin', and you heard yourself caterwalin', and your ears went on strike?

Nah, that couldn't be it.  If ears could go on strike on account of hearin' you caterwaul, MY ears would have gone strike long ago.

LEMME GO!!!

Fine.  Just do it.  Just do it and get it over with.  Let me close my eyes.  Let me hold my breath. Let's just get this over with and be done with it.

EWWW.....

MOUSES!!!

Excuse me Peepers, I have to go have a bath.  I need to wash off all those peep germs you left behind when you kissed me.  MOUSES!

And if I haven't told you this before - although I'm pretty sure that I have - let me tell you it now. KISSES ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO WASH OFF.  It's not like I can reach up there with my tongue.  MOUSES!

For cryin' out loud.  Peeps and their moused-up balls of mistletoe hangin' all over the place. MOUSES!

Any of you cats out there havin' issues with peeps thinkin' that just because a ball of mistletoe is hangin' from the ceilin', they get to scoop you up in their arms, and kiss you?  Any of you cats havin' trouble with that?  Anybody?

Well at my house, there's a mistletoe kissin' epidemic goin' on, and let me tell you, it's as gross as all get out.  MOUSES!

And you can't even build up any immunity!

At least with stuff like uh...  um...  chicken pox, peeps don't get 'em twice. But mistletoe kisses? You can get 'em more than once in the same day!

Sometimes more than once in the same hour!

MOUSES!

Just this mornin', Peep #1 was scoopin' me up and kissin' me, sayin' the Mistletoe Clause of 2014 allowed her to do so.  And no sooner was I done washin' off all her peep germs from the first incident, why, she was kissin' me again.  MOUSES!

It's stuff like this that gets a kitty in trouble with Santa Claus.  I mean, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY TIMES I'VE CRIED MOUSES TODAY?

DO HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW MANY TIMES I'VE CRIED MOUSES IN THE LAST HOUR?

MOUSES!

And what's with the idea of kissin' kitties under balls of poisonous berries, anyway?  Who came up with a stupid idea like that in the first place?

Humph!  Probably some stupid peep.  MOUSES!

You've heard of the kiss of death, have you?  Sounds more like the kissin' ball of death, to me. MOUSES!

Now if Peep #1 wanted to hang up bunches of catnip and kiss me under those...

Now THAT'S an idea I could get behind, for sure.

Or underneath.

Whatever.

Bottom line is, stupid ol' balls of mistletoe hangin' from the ceilin' do not - I repeat, do NOT - entitle peeps to take liberties with us cats.

And please...  PLEASE... For mousin' sake...  If you're gonna go around kissin' us, don't do it on the tops of our heads! Peep germs left on the tops of our heads are way to difficult to wash off by ourselves.

MOUSES!

  2. Amarula agrees!! Peep germs are the worst- when she feels real dirty she will place a speck of wet food on top of her head and then Frodo licks it off! So he gets a treat and she gets cleaned!

  7. The humans have had the same sprig of fake mistletoe in a bag for years and have never taken it out. Doesn't matter - we all still get kissed! Except for Boodie. Somehow she gets out of it.

    Actually I don't mind being kissed, being a therapy cat and all.

  8. Hehe... Nip balls hanging from the ceiling sounds like a recipe for peeps have cats land on their heads, and in a multi-cat household the air traffic would be horrendous! purrs Erin

  13. Sorry, I am guilty of this too, but I have a fake mistletoe to be safe. Maybe if we hung nip, you would find it easier to tolerate?

  18. You nailed the problem Seville. When Mom or Dad kiss either of us on our butts...no problem...but on top of our head??!!! AIIIEE!!! Impossible to get rid of with only one kitty spit bath

    1. Yeah, butt germs would be EASY to wash off. But do they ever do that? Do they ever think of that? No. Never. MOUSES!
