Mommy's Gift

Mommy was working so hard during Tax Season that I thought it would be nice if I got her a gift to show her how much I love and how great a job she did. The only problem is, being a cat, I don't get much of an allowance.

So during the night, while she was sleeping, I snuck out of the bedroom and thought I would borrow her credit card to go get her something. I ran into a problem though, there were so many cards in her wallet! I don't know which one is actually a credit card. And they all have these strange black strips on the back. I found one card that has mommy's picture on it but I'm pretty sure that wasn't a credit card. There was one with a cat and dog on it that I've seen her use when she buys me food, that could have been one. There's also one she uses when she buys books at Chapters. Gee this is confusing.

So after pulling about a dozen cards out of Mommy's purse, I gave up. I did find some coins but not enough to buy her anything and I found a funny purple piece of paper with the number 10 on it too but I don't know what to do with that. I decided the purple paper needed to go in my water bowl.

So disheartenend and defeated, I left everything scattered and jumped back into bed. When we woke up this morning though, funny enough, Mommy was quite upset for some reason. I guess the purple paper really shouldn't have gotten wet and I guess teeth marks on the cards are not a good thing. I know she made a few phone calls today to ask the banks for replacement cards so I guess I broke something in the process. She wasn't really mad at me, I think she knew what I was trying to do for her but she was a little frustrated. At least she laughed a bit.

Oh well, maybe next time I'll find a better way to show her my love and thanks. Maybe some snuggles.
