The holidays are officially creeping up, and with them comes the annual ritual of pretending we're good at wrapping presents. It's never just about finding the purrfect gift — you also have to buy paper, tape, bows, tags, and then somehow perform delicate origami on a cardboard box while the person you're gifting it to waits to tear it apart in under three seconds.

Wrapping feels like a scam. A festive, glitter-covered scam.

Gift bags seem like an easier option, but those come with their own curse. Once someone hands you a bag, you're legally required to store it for the rest of your natural life. You can't throw it away, because what if you need it one day? So now you're hoarding 47 bags in a closet that definitely was not designed for that purpose.

Or, hear me out, you could outsource the whole situation to your cat.

  • That’s their real holiday gift anyway. Cats don’t need fancy toys or overpriced cat trees. They need a box, a bag, and the opportunity to cram their entire body into something one-third their size. And honestly, the Christmas tree is already the ultimate source of entertainment this time of year anyway. 

    Why climb a cat tree when you can scale a pine-scented skyscraper and bat ornaments like they’re your personal punching bags?
