Heaven was about to discover that even a good cat could cause trouble. One exhausted feline wanted comfort, a frightened group of mice wanted freedom, and four proud owners believed their pets deserved bragging rights. But between a heavenly gift and one spectacularly shameless office cat, these innocent wishes were heading toward a punchline nobody could possibly see com\u2026 Continues\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
