My cat tried to 'help' me wrap a gift and it went very wrong

I was on my living room floor last night trying to wrap a birthday present. My cat, Binx, decided the crinkly paper was his new enemy. He pounced on the roll, which unspooled across the whole room. Then he got his paw stuck in the tape dispenser and ran off with it still attached, trailing tape behind him. I had to chase him around the couch three times before I could free him. Has your cat ever 'helped' with a simple task in the worst way possible?

The tape dispenser paw trap made me think cats were just clumsy until I saw the planning behind it.

Oh man, the tape dispenser paw trap is a classic. I started keeping a cheap pair of small scissors in my gift wrap box just for cutting my cat free from tape loops. Also, try giving them an empty cardboard box to sit in while you wrap, it sometimes contains the chaos.

Just add scissors to the supply list.
