    Entrapment! Elvis will appeal this all the way to the Supreme Court (Nana)!

    If he’s not breaking anything, he’s fine. Let the good little Iggy climb the tree!

    Also, Elvis, you’ve just described a couch. Just sayin’.

    He IS a baby and he’s sorry every time even though he doesn’t know why he should be sorry. He just wants the woman to be ok.

    Aw, even if Iggy WASN’T absolutely adorable curled up in the tree, he isn’t hurting anything. If the tree stays upright and the ornaments unbroken, what’s the harm?

    O cozy night

    Warm lights are brightly shining

    Kit’s fast asleep in his own lofty perch

    Long lay sweet boy after gently climbing

    But would he prefer oak or even birch?

    A tender “nope” the weary woman voices

    As yonder breaks

    A big and glorious yawn

    Please let him be

    O watch Lupin’s bad choices

    O tree of pine

    O tree where cats doth sleep

    O night,

    O cozy night,

    A scene sublime

    Holmes is in the tree…CONSTANTLY! Since he was feral, I guess the instinct is even more ingrained.

    Traditional: I Saw Three Ships

    I saw three cats all sleeping in

    The Christmas tree, the Christmas tree

    I saw three cats all sleeping in

    The Christmas tree in the morning!

    …….

    There was our friend Iggy first in

    The Christmas tree, the Christmas tree

    For him there was no resistin’

    The Christmas tree in the morning!

    …….

    There were two eyes looking out at me

    From the Christmas tree, the Christmas tree

    And the belonged to Ora Z

    There on the Christmas tree in the morning!

    …….

    And then I saw a fluffy white tail

    In the Christmas tree, the Christmas tree,

    Lupin joined them with out fail!

    In the Christmas tree in the morning!

    It’s been almost two months, and PK is still living on the back of my office chair. When I am home, I will occasionally hear a crash as she falls asleep and tumbles one way or another off the high back to the seat or the floor. She climbs right back up after looking embarrassed for a few seconds. I hope she finds a new place to sleep soon. I don’t mind the clingiest little tortie in the East, and most days she’s content to sit on my shoulder and oversee my work at the computer. But I just got a new chair, and she is shredding the headrest! I tried covers but she just pulls them off every single time.

    Okay, Iggy getting used to the house earlier this week was good enough, but watching the complete and total support he is getting from every cat in the vicinity completely warms my heart. Lupin and Iggy’s blossoming friendship has been a great focus lately, and even Dad Cat knows you have to let the children loose sometimes.

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    At the Royal Kitchen

    Thomios: Has anyone seen my dented soup kettle?

    Sue Chef: No, but I did hear some giggling awhile back.

    Sometime Later

    Thomios: Here it is, no wonder I couldn’t find it. It’s all shiny and good as new.

    Sue Chef: There’s no telling what happened.

    At the Artisan’s Studio

    Iggy Shipwright: Thanks for all your help. Fresh and Salty Cats have nets as good as new, and Thomios’ favorite soup kettle is good to go.

    Iron Glove: Always glad to do metalwork.

    Iggy: (Hmm…wonder how I can un-crime for the Artisans?)

    All of the cats I’ve had through the years didn’t climb trees. Some would try to eat it, but not climb it. Or they would lay under it. I can’t wait until Oopsie does.

    I think she should just put a bed in the tree for him. And the other tree climber.

    Just a reminder that what’s cute when little isn’t so cute when big. For example, people who allow puppies and kittens to nip their skin because it doesn’t hurt have a painful lesson to learn and teach when the babies get much bigger. Next year, Iggy, if he were allowed to grow up, will try this, and the tree could go boom and hurt him or someone else.

    So according to Elvis, Iggy is “a good little cat who never does anything wrong”? Really?

    Because Elvis was sure singing a different tune about the little popper yesterday!

    Aw, Iggy is so cute. Elvis being protective of the baby cats is wonderfully adorable. Ora Zella in the background of the last panel is so funny. I love it all! In other news, I recently recieved my copy of “Pucky Prince of Bacon”. I haven’t finished reading it yet, but so far it’s a wonderful mixture of nostalgia and some delicious new nuggets to enjoy. BCN always brings a smile to my face :)

    Werewolf sighting in the last panel. Although with the way Elvis is puffed out, maybe that should be werewolf and lion sighting in the last panel.

    And Iggy looks so precious in that thirf panel.
