Hi Furriends!
Happy Pawlidays!

Guess what…Momma put up a Catmas tree! We heard her say she hasn’t put one up in eight years (when she only had Yoda and CheezIt). We don’t know how long that is, but it sounds like a long time. BoyCat is older than that, so it’s not that long, though.

The tree thing has so many colors and is so tasty…ummm, pretty. It looks so good we just want to eat it.

But when we do Mom gets mad at us and squirts us with that dumb squirty bottle. Peanut tries to bite the bottle so she can’t use it anymore. But she always takes it away before he can finish the job (how dare she).

None of us have ever seen a Catmas tree before, we don’t think. We have to say that we have not even knocked it down or tried to climb it yet…just tried to eat it. Maybe if we’re good, she’ll leave it up for a long time for us to play with. Or maybe she’ll buy us one we can eat!

We hope Santa Paws brings us some good cat nips. Mom says we are too used to the nip she buys…it doesn’t drive us nutty like it used to. So she just shares it with the outside cats (that’s when we really want it, then, of course).

We hope Mom makes a turkey or a ham and shares it with us (that would be yummies). We found out Stetson loves turkeys because he’s always trying to steal Mom’s sandwiches. BoyCat does too. But that’s because he’s old and doesn’t care anymore. He’s living his life and doing what he wants. He’s an old man, so he doesn’t ever get in troubles. He’s so lucky. We’re all always getting troubles for something.

We hope all of you made it on the nice list. Hopefully we did!

  Til Next Month,
All of Us
