A Package for Mason

December 20, 2007 By Carole

I do a lot of online shopping and this time of year there are packages arriving every day it seems. Dale is often home in the middle of the day and he will take whatever packages have arrived and leave them on the kitchen table. Yesterday when I came home there were 2 packages in the kitchen. But then I noticed there was one that he had left in the mudroom. That’s odd, I thought, and I went to investigate.

Turns out, it was a package for Mason and it was from his Auntie Cookie. Dale said when he brought it in the house Mason immediately came running and tried to tear into it. That’s why it was in the mudroom when I got home – away from the prying claws of a certain cat.

Of course, the package was for him and I gave it right over. He proceeded to tear his way into it, making use of his claws and teeth.

I think it’s pretty obvious that Mason loves his present of three catnip mouse hand knit by his favorite auntie.

Although, he did look a little glassy-eyed after he had played for a bit.

But yes, he’s in lurve.

So, thank you, Auntie Cookie! Mason loves you lots!

    hahaha……Mason looks almost drunk in that picture…LOL! Nothing like a little nip to make a cat happy.

    Oh, now that’s funny!! He looks like he’s saying “I’m SO drunk”! I wish I had a REAL cat, nothing “cat-like” interests Mr Ace.
    Merry Christmas Mason!!

    That is too funny – I wish my cats (all 4 – especially the youngest) would only get into THEIR packages!

    Mason is so handsome – he reminds me so much of my Buddha when I was growing up – he was with me from nursery school until my first year of college. No Siamese in my house at this time, but I’d take one again in a second!

    Merry Christmas from the North Shore!

    Ha! Tigger just loves the tape on all packages so they all have ganw marks on them! Mason has remarkable “opening” skills!

  7. Beth says

    December 20, 2007 at 8:18 am

    Those pictures are so cute! Mason is a very handsome cat, even when he’s a bit tipsy. 🙂

    Mason is one lucky cat! The photos are too cute.

    My cats get new hand knit mice every year. I thought about it yesterday and realized it might be New Year’s this year before they get them.

  10. Dave Daniels says

    December 20, 2007 at 8:42 am

    The photo of him with his head in the envelope really made me laugh out loud! That’s just too cute.

    December 20, 2007 at 8:44 am

    OH…HAHAHA! Great photos, and there’s no doubt he’s on “Cloud 9!”
    Merry Christmas, Mason!

    That cat is crazy for catnip! My cats were never interested.

    What a nice Auntie he has!

  16. Ruth says

    That’s hilarious, I wondered where Cookie’s mice were going…

  17. Chris says

    December 20, 2007 at 9:36 am

    Those are great pictures, but the one of his head stuck deep into the envelope is my favorite!

  18. michaele says

    December 20, 2007 at 11:27 am

    Isn’t it amazing how happy a little leftover yarn and some catnip can make a cat?

    I’m so glad that Mason got his package and has been enjoying himself. I hope he isn’t feeling too hungover today.

  25. Danielle says

    Awww. I’m impressed by his package-opening abilities. Thank goodness Dewey hasn’t learned to do that yet.

    I’ve been wanting to knit a catnip toy for my cat, but I’m not sure I want her to get the idea that woolly things are play toys. She ignores my knitting now. But Mason is clearly enjoying his present!

  29. maryse says

    December 20, 2007 at 12:25 pm

    that catnip is magical stuff. wish there was such a thing as marysenip.

    my napoleon loved the stuff. my other two cats, not so much. funny though.

    AHH, MASON LOOKS STONED AND VERY CONTENT. HE’S IN THE ZONE

  31. Donna says

    December 20, 2007 at 12:46 pm

    Mason looks like a happy kitty. It’s so much fun to see them get into their toys. Our kitty loved his toys – I still miss him!

    Thanks for the pics. I enjoyed!!!!

  32. Kirsten says

    December 20, 2007 at 1:04 pm

    Yay for Auntie Cookie!! That photo of Mason looking stoned out of his gourd is priceless!!

  33. Sara says

    December 20, 2007 at 1:30 pm

    I’ve never seen a cat do that! It is amazing…and Mason is quite a handsome fella. He looks like Killian when he’s had too much cat nip…

  34. Kathode Ray Tube says

    December 20, 2007 at 1:42 pm

    Nothing like a stoned kitty. My sister’s cat used try to pry open her wooden cabinet so he could get at the pot inside it. Heh.

  35. Mia says

    December 20, 2007 at 1:45 pm

    Nothing like a curious meezer. They know when items belong to them. And I love the shot of Mason’s whole face in the envelope. He is not tipsy but stoned. He is definitely having enjoying his holidays.

  36. Kelly says

    December 20, 2007 at 2:48 pm

    He looks very happy with his gift!

  37. Debi says

    December 21, 2007 at 5:55 am

    Pumpkin told me to have you ask Mason how he can get on Aunt Cookie’s wait list? 🙂

  38. Nora says

    December 21, 2007 at 6:43 am

    I love the shots of him trying to open the parcel – and sticking his wee head right inside, making sure he gets a good look. Such a cutie.

  39. Leah says

    December 21, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    Go Mason, Go Mason, Go Mason! Whoo, whoo, whoo!

    He looks exactly like the cat we had when I was growing up! Lurve him!

    That’s a great picture of a drunk kitty. Very very good. Those of us without cats were vastly entertained today by this.

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline.
