    Whoever called Goldie’s presents of a tape recorder of her own and a magnifying glass wins the pool! Three pounds of virtual catnip! And Elvis got his socks, tea, and book, I see. And Pucky got his catgrass!

    Smiles on every face….a small dignified smile on Elvis as he reads his book. Nice to see peace and good will between Lupin and Goldie. I don’t know which panel is the most charming! Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!

    The sheer joy and wonder of a child (or cat) on Christmas morning is one of the best things in the world to witness. And I absolutely love that the gifts are so simple and still just as cherished.

    Here’s a poem I wrote for Jasper’s first Christmas:

    Christmas is a busy time

    For curious cats like me.

    Time to shred the wrappings!

    Time to climb the tree!

    Time to hope that Santa,

    Will still bring lots of toys,

    Like furry mice and jingle balls

    To naughty kitty boys!

    “I think we lost the Girl.”

    Woman, what is wrong with you?! Don’t you know better to say something like that when Elvis can hear you? Look at the size of the exclamation point over his head! You just set off every protection alarm in his body! You just loaded him with adrenaline! You’ll be lucky if he doesn’t bite everybody in the room (well, not the Girl, of course) just like if someone touched his tail! And now it will be weeks before he trusts you not to lose her again!

    If the Man hadn’t immediately reassured him by finding her, who knows what he might have done in his panicked search for her?

    Honestly, Woman! Have some consideration for an old Dad Cat’s heart! Think before you talk!

    The slaves are now comatose. This morning they did a lot of fussing about with things in fancy paper, and then made some very interesting smells. But inquiries got the reply “Which it will be ready when it’s ready.” Eventually, it was. And actually very nice. Though the slaves gorged themselves as well, as though they owned the stuff. And now, of course, they have all passed out. That’s the modern world for you. No discipline. No sense of servile duty.

    Merry Christmas to all animal lovers, particularly those who are found of greyhounds: I found this in my local newspaper:

    https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2020/12/24/dimaggio-the-babe-brad-pitt-derby-lane-greyhound-track-hosted-them-all/

    The last 3 greyhound tracks open in Florida will be shutting down over the next few days including the last one in the Tampa area (Derby Lane) as the Tampa, Sarasota and Fort Myers tracks all have already shut down, leaving only a handful of tracks open in the US as Florida joins Alabama in closing down the last of its tracks in 2020. It is time to end this gambling/racing activity as over the years I know many people who have adopted rescue greyhounds and understand that some of the kennel owners do take care of the dogs but so many others abused these poor creatures and many greyhounds were put down due to injuries on the track or contracting illnesses like kennel cough and really did not get to live a real life being caged most of the time only to be let out to run on the track. I do hope the closing tracks in St Pete, Palm Beach and Jacksonville find homes for these remaining dogs who do not go out to the remaining tracks:

    It is a balmy 8’ (F) outside at 6:00 a.m., 11’ (F) by the weather service which is in the city. Not a creature is stirring yet…they are teenagers after all. My coffee is ready and the tree is lit. Looking for an FTU (feline-thermal-unit) to share this time by they are all wisely still in bed. So it is just you and I at this moment.

    I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the day.

    Merry Christmas to all! And to all your families, human and animal.This is a strange Christmas, but it will be lovely nonetheless.

    We did a test run last night, and my brother will join Dad and I in opening presents through Zoom. Where we are placing the devices, he’ll have the same viewpoint as if he was here, sitting where he always does on the couch. In lieu of being here in person, glad he’ll be able to join us virtually!

    Our waiting days are over

    And life is like a song

    Oh, yeah, yeah, at last

    Goldie can see her clues

    Lupin’s spat with her is so over

    Elvis, nice warm socks for you

    Pucky loves Buzzy’s tiny pjs, too

    And a ball that Puck can call his own

    In a tough year where good times are few

    How this comic warms our cold, sad bones

    Oh, yeah, yeah, and we smile, we smile

    Oh, how we love the BCN cast

    And here we all are, thank Cat

    Christmas day’s here at last

    The first time we traveled to meet the Great-Niece, the Woman – I am not making this up – bought two Disney suitcases and packed them full of gifts for her (with the suitcases themselves being two of the gifts). I have two pictures of her from that day: one of her burrowing herself inside gift wrap much like the Girl, and another of her falling asleep in Grandma’s lap when there were still a bunch of gifts to be unveiled.

    Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope you have had a better Christmas than I. The presents were nice, but the white Christmas is down the drain thanks to the “lovely” rain we’re getting. We really needed the snow, not rain. Would love to send the rain out to California as they could use it.

    The birthdays of Rod Serling who knew about alternate universes before anyone else; Humphrey Bogart, a real sweetheart; and Isaac Newton, who invented headaches for the non-mathematically inclined. Everything he knew about gravity he learned from the cat that jumped out of the tree onto his head. The apple had nothing to do with it.

    Even though it’s a bit (for FL) chilly (currently 51, high 61), I’ll go and visit the cat colony. The lady I refer to as the “primary”, she takes Fridays off (mental health day) and another will be going. Debbie loves the cats too. She’ll be going about 4:30, which is too late for me. I’ll go at 3, that way the kitties can get two dinners today.

    Christmas lunch is finished (even the corners are full!), the leftovers are packed away in the fridge or freezer, and even Bella and Akiro had their little (tiny-sized) bits of ham and then some of their proper treats. The house is warm and quiet and the dishes will wait until later.

    I woke up to a light covering of snow on the ground. When I went out to fill the bird feeders there were very light, fine, powdery snow flurries swirling in the air. The accumulation was less than an inch so doesn’t qualify as an “official” white Christmas, but it works for me.

    Slowly, softly, falling down

    With the grace of thistledown

    Whirling, twirling as they fall,

    Drifting gently one and all

    Turning the whole world sparkly white

    Snowflakes falling through the night.

    Merry Christmas, Orbsters! We had a wonderful day with our family here at home. After they left, the Castle Clowder came out to check out all of the toys they got from Santa. I hope they don’t mind that our 9 month old Granddaughter played with a couple of them while they were hiding. Among all of my gifts from Andy, I got several BCN items that I’ll enjoy for years to come. I can’t wait to use my new Baba Mouse mug for coffee in the morning. God bless us, everyone!
