Last Sunday we had our shop Christmas party at the salon owner’s house where we exchanged gifts. All of the hair stylists know I love cats, of course, so I’ll usually get something relating to cats. And, I love it. When the time came to open our gifts, D handed me a HUGE bag and [...]

Not only did the cats have fun with their Christmas gifts, but they actually had fun with anything that fell on the floor. And, on Christmas morning the most fun things that wind up on the floor are the boxes, bags, bows, and wrapping paper that wrap our gifts. Once those wrappings flew from our [...]

If Pixie isn’t showered with love and attention at all times, she pouts. Oh, yes, a cat can pout, and Pixie is a pro at this because she’s a princess. Mom and I will get the cold shoulder treatment by Pixie if she isn’t sufficiently worshipped. So, in keeping with the Christmas theme, she was [...]

Sometime before sunrise, Mom set up the Christmas Tree. When I woke up, I was very surprised to see it up and decorated, albeit with only red and gold balls, “I slept through all that?” I asked Mom when I sat up in bed.

My brother and sister-in-law have two, female cats named Pattern and Desert. Actually, their full names are, Quilted Pattern and Painted Desert. I love the creative names!

For years Pooka was a Grinch towards my brother when he visited at Christmas, just stopping short of ripping his gifts apart and then coughing up a hair ball on top of them. And, I’m happy to tell you all that the miracle [...]

My brother and sister-in-law are here for Christmas from Southern California, and the cats have mixed emotions about they’re arrival; they’re both bewildered and happy hosts. The new and louder voices, new smells, and new routines are confusing and startling the cats. The first 24 hours are over, so the cats have settled. Some of [...]

T’was a week before Christmas, When all through the home, I wasn’t sleeping, Because all of the cats did roam; The garlands were hung on the ceiling fans with care, In hopes that the cats couldn’t jump up there; I was surrounded by nine cats in my bed, While visions of chewed presents stomped in [...]

Getting a head start on Christmas this year, we began decorating the HOP for Christmas this past weekend. Usually, we wait until the week before because 1) we’re lazy, and 2) because that way our decorations don’t get too badly destroyed by the cats in only one week’s time. However, Mom and I have decided [...]
