Happy Holidays to you all!
Travel safely and just enjoy your visits with family and friends.
Remember – it isn’t about the presents you recieve, it’s about the family and friends you spend your time with! That time is precious – so spend it wisely by appreciating the people you love. There is no place for hurt feelings or resentment today.
Life is too short for that nonsense anyway.
God Bless You All!
Merry Christmas to Priscilla, Travis, Adrianna and Emmett -my people’s kids and grandkids!

Hulk and grandkids
Here’s a picture of Hulk with the grandkids – Adrianna and Emmett are three years old and three months old, respectively.
Last year at Xmas, Adrianna fed me treats off her knee – one after the other. She was having so much fun doing it, nobody said to stop. So I got almost a whole bag of treats! And a boat load of petting!
Hope she comes again this Xmas!! I love lots of treats.
I can’t wait to smell Emmett. Babies have such terrific smells – especially from the diaper region and around the mouth.
Cats Rule!
Do you get your people Xmas gifts?
I do…I always get Angel some lip balm – because she’s always kissing my ears and I don’t want scratchy lips on me. Sometimes Angel will kiss my ears so much I smell like Bubblegum, or Strawberry or whatever flavor of lip balm she used.
And I always get Hulk a gift certificate from Subway – although this year I may get him a gift certificate to Jimmy John’s instead because he likes the taste of the meat better (ya gotta love a guy who’s a carnivore!)
I even get Poppy Seed (21 year old blind cockatiel) some millet seeds – although I’d rather eat her than give her a gift. But she’s so old she’d probably be tough and stringy, anyway.
I hope you’ve had a chance to shop for your people – if you haven’t yet, be careful crossing the street!
Cats Rule
Where do you like to sleep best of all – your favorite sleeping spot?

Oh, I love that heat!
If I sleep by myself, it’s in front of the fire, paws down! (See me soaking up that wonderful heat!!)
If I’m tired and both Hulk and Angel are in bed, I like to sleep between them at the foot of the bed.
When Angel had the quilts she was making for the next door neighbor girls, I liked to curl up on them on the dining room table, but they’re gone now for Xmas presents.
Leave a comment and let me know where your favorite place to sleep is!
Cats Rule!
As I was looking out over the neighborhood at 2:00 a.m. this dark and cold morning, I noticed the beautiful blinking lights of all colors and sizes.
Some of the neighbors have their entire house lit up, like in “Deck The Halls”, others have only the lights from the Xmas tree shining.
These lights and all the shadows they create make me want to stalk prey that I can see moving, just ever so slightly.
Some neighbors are tucked into a nice warm bed, with no visible Xmas lights aglow.
Whatever the case, I want to take these moments to reflect on how lucky I am…
- Lucky to have good eyesight – so I can see these wonderful Xmas sights (even if I can’t hear the carols)
- Lucky to have a warm bed in front of a nice cozy fire – so I don’t freeze my ears and tail off
- Lucky to have food served to me several times a day – food I don’t have to catch (I eat whether I’m a better hunter than my prey or not!)
- Lucky to have a solid, cozy house to live in - so I don’t have to sleep in the snow, wind and rain
- Lucky to have people who love me – so I’m not so alone in this world
- Lucky to be alive – if Angel and Hulk hadn’t rescued me, I wouldn’t be here today
- Lucky that I live in a country where people don’t find cat a delicacy – so I’m not eaten for a tasty snack
I thank the great essence of life every day for my good fortune…
I hope you do too!
Remember – Cats Rule!
