A Cat's Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.

'Cuz the cat had pounced on him
and tore him apart-
Ate his mousey intestines
And chewed up his heart.

Kitty thought he heard sleigh bells,
which made him take pause-
He stopped daintily licking
the blood from his claws.

"Must be Santa" thought Kitty
(that quite clever cat)
'Cuz nobody else climbs down
the chimney like that.

Indeed it was ol' Santa,
so jolly and fat
With a load of presents
and all for the cat!

"Wow, the best Christmas ever!"
Kitty thought with a purr,
Then he coughed up a hairball
and shed some more fur.

Helping in the Studio

While working in my art studio last week, getting ready for a holiday fair, the cats decided to join me and help out. This was the kind of help I received.


K.C.


Motor


Tiger

Oh well, I guess it's better than some of the help I have gotten in the past.


Tiger sleeping on the supplies I use when I am creating.


Tiger in my photobox where I photograph my jewelry.


And Tiger again, in the middle of a display for a jewelry home show.

I think maybe last week was a better way of helping.

Bliss

Sheer bliss! Tiger sunning in the catio with Motor. He was just loving the warmth. I was just enjoying watching him relax so thoroughly.

My babies. Gotta love them.

The Captain

K.C., our oldest cat, is probably the most easy going cats I know. So when I received this pirate hat on my birthday, I knew it could only go on her, maybe Tiger.

So we waited for Halloween and decided that it was time for another Halloween photographic opportunity. First, we put the pirates hat on a sleepy K.C. Our cats are afraid when they see the 2 of us together, approaching them. Motor would have been out of that bed K.C. was lying in many seconds earlier.

Our cats have been given many different nicknames over the years. For some reason, we were calling K.C. "the Captain." So here she, is in her pirate hat, as 'The Captain."


My next victim was Tiger. He is such as good boy. He was not very happy with this idea, and as you can see, he was trying to get away. When he finally stopped struggling, we were able to get a great pirate picture of Tiger.



Oh, the indignities these cats have to face.

Happy Halloween!
