This exact freaking thing JUST happened to me! I finished wrapping presents and left the ones that were going to other houses (other parties) on the couch for the night. However when I woke up in the morning all of the couch presents were chewed and scratched. I blame the youngest of our three cats but I have my eye on all of them…
…dogs are the same if foodstuffs are involved, and CHILDREN are the worst in trying to untape things JUST enough to see what’s inside.
therefore i used to save boxen during the year and wrap things in unexciting boxen, AND i go through miles of tape in making every millimeter of every seam secure. my children used to hate me. this year since they’re grown? they got boxen with items inside and lists of who gets what. (daughter and granddaughter, son and his fiancee)

Maybe it’d help if you sprayed the wrapped gifts with diluted Tabasco; or something foul-tasting (to cats).

And you are surprised by this? just how long have you had a cat?

This is the first year she’s ever bothered the presents before, though!

This is why we celebrate Christmas at someone else’s house.

Put tin foil around the presents. Cat’s hate the feel of it on their feet. Worst case scenaria hide a moustrap under it.
From what I hear their weight on the foil triggers the trap which will scare the buhjeezus out of them.
