Wait till your dog pees on the presents...

@Kittle :
Years ago my house got robbed. I called my neighbor who was also on vacation and the people upstairs heard nothing. They asked me and the cop that showed up to please enter their apartment to see if they too got hit. The cop said he was not allowed to open their home. He had no proof he was talking to the real renter. Okay we blew on his ***! I took a butter knife and popped her lock. As we open the door her kitties scatter. Her house is trashed, tree is down. Cop is behind me and I hear, wtf! I'm on the phone with my friend and I say, oh your kitties had a Christmas. Lol she was not robbed. The robbers must have thought a party going on because her house was trashed. Even the sugar bowl had been bounce across counter.
It was the last time she left her cats unsupervised for four days. Lol

@beadweaver : That is hilarious - a Home Alone story for cats! I hope all the cats were safe and didn't escape.

@Kittle :
Oh when I opened the door and saw the tree down, ornaments scattered, shattered, and in odd places, the full sugar bowl tipped and a white line of sugary coke scattered to every nook and cranny, pillows from the couch tossed and kitchen chairs knocked over (hopefully from the tree) I saw those two sitting on the pillows of their bed like sweet angels. They had water, enough food and she put out a few litter boxes.
But the best was the look on that kid cops face when I sid to my friends, looks normal. Cats had a ball. Want me to clean it up? She did say no to leave it, she'd do it when she got home. The cop and I backed out and locked up.
