Cats' Christmas 2000

Every Christmas I get Ares and Artemis a present or two.  Every year I also wrap the present, and Ares usually figures out which present is for them. Christmas 2000 was no exception...

Ares nonchalantly stretches out under the tree, waiting for his opportunity to check out the presents.

Once he discovers the one that seems like his, he gets intimate with it. I had placed a couple Christmas stuffed animals on the present in the hopes that Ares wouldn't start laying on it. Well, that didn't work (see the next picture).

Ares curls up on his (and Artemis' gift). He's already figured out that it's a brand new kitty bed, and he thinks it's pretty comfy.

Ares had ripped the paper a bit, so I unwrapped it. Shortly after that Artemis chased Ares out...I knew I needed to get them a second one.

Both Ares and Artemis are sleeping soundly in their new beds under the Christmas tree...awww.
