Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the house

Not a creature was stirring,

Not even a mouse.



Cuzz the cat had pounced on him

And tore him apart –

Ate his mouse intestines

And chewed up his heart.



Kitty thought he heard sleighbells,

Which made him take pause –

He stopped daintily licking

The blood from his claws.



Must be Santa, thought Kitty

(That quite clever cat)

Cuz nobody else climbs down

The chimney like that.



Indeed it was ol Santa

So jolly and fat

With a huge load of presents

And all for the cat!



Wow, the best Christmas ever!

Kitty thought with a purr,

Then he coughed up a hairball

And shed some more fur!
