It’s hard to believe that our fifteen-pounder – the same cat who gave us a glimpse of Cat Heaven – was once a tiny kitten. But here she is:

Friday Cat: Merry Catmas to you!

Friday, December 8th, 2006

Humans like the Christmas season for various reasons. For adults, there’s reuinions with family and friends. For kids, it’s toys, festive lights, snow, and a break from school.

For cats, it’s a tree. The tree is a place to play, where humans have attached the most wonderful cat toys.

And underneath the tree? A wonderful place to lay.

[Merry Catmas!]
