Christmas Catku 2024

Santa hat
on your cat
revenge to come

piss off the cat
the Grinch will steal
your Christmas

high on catnip
opportunity strikes
last rites for the tree

inside the tree
yellow eyes aglow
then the crash!

wreck the halls
cat takes the fifth
dog takes the blame

MAGA ornaments
cat gets ready to attack
Trump is first to go

Kamala kitty
surveys her revenge
Meowy Catmas!
