Cat Lady’s Night Before Christmas

It was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
All the critters were stirring, including a mouse.

Cat Lady was scolding, “Bobcat leave him alone!”
If Bobcat was a dog she’d simply throw him a bone.

While Lexington lie on the sofa restfully,
Watching the antics of Bobcat and that crazy Cat Lady.

She open the front door to entice the mouse out,
And then what she heard, a sound similar to a shout,

“HO HO HO, Meowy Catmas!” roared a voice from the tree,
Come on little mousey she coaxed tenderly.

He bolted outside finally safe from the beast,
As Santa Paws appeared, announcing, “Playtime with mousey has ceased!”

Bobcat whined, “Meh, meh, meh…,” but then started to grin,
As Santa Paws presented a gift contained in a decorative tin.

The contents were sprinkled on the area rug with care,
Both cats plunged into catnip, Lexington cried, “Bobcat you must share!”

Cat Lady now contented, kissed Santa Paws on the face,
He dashed off into the night shouting LOVE TO ALL,

And disappeared without a trace…

Merry Christmas!  Thank you all for your love and support throughout another year!

In loving memory of Topper, my sweet spirit from recent Christmas past.

Topper and the Christmas Catch

Christmas time decorating is especially exciting for the cats, as like most felines, mine love to play with paper and hangout in boxes. So when I dragged the giant box filled with Christmas decorations into the dining room, the cats went cuckoo. “Topper—help me find your favorite Christmas decoration!” I yelled across the room as I unopened the huge rectangular box full of tissue paper wrapped holiday décor. And with that said, Topper started in on the hunt for his most cherished of all the Christmas decorations.

After pawing through lots of paper wrapped goodies, Topper wearily looked at me and said, “I can’t find her!” Keep looking, I encouraged.

“Ah man, I need a nap…all this unwrapping is making me tired!”

“Hey, guess what I found underneath all this darn paper and ornaments and stockings?!”

And after a valiant search effort…Topper finally found what he was looking for.

And she’s a real doll!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Cat Christmas Recap

Christmas has come and gone and 2015 is almost here! Where did the time go?  It seems that the cats and I were just taking down the Halloween decorations (Yes, the cats lend me a paw; they jump into the trunk of costumes right after I’ve neatly folded them).  With the holidays being so busy, there isn’t much time for reading blogs, so this one will be short, sweet and for your viewing pleasure.  As Rod Stewart sang, “…Every picture tells a story, don’t it?”  Check it out: Continue reading
