Someone really did give me a kitten for Christmas once. He was cute and funny and unwillingly cuddly. I got a lot of enjoyment out of him, not to mention years of semi-safe passwords. He also chased away our existing cat and eventually we couldn't look after him as our living circumstances changed. To his credit the giver of the kitten was honest that he didn't actually have any other way of looking after the kitten and didn't blame us when the kitten, grown to a scrappy cat, disappeared under a cloud of neglect.
