Santa Claus has BEEN HERE!

Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus was here! The Boy and I got neat things. We had Fancy Feast grilled beef. Then we openened presents. We got new water bowls. They're shiny and silvery - I'll be the water will stay cool a long time! That Boy got a new bed that looks like the couch. Maybe he'll leave the tree skirt alone now.

I KNEW I SMELLED CATNIP! We got Cosmic catnip pillows and two Wrestle Wrats. (Those are the red and blue things next to me on the table there) Here is me with the blue wrestle wrat. Merry Christmas, everybody!

Christmas is coming!

Here is me! Our steps are so much awesome! I haven't gotten any of the fruit off of the bannister garlands this year. It makes Mom mad when I knock the fruit off and play with it. I used to have a big brother who liked to do things like that. He climbed the tree and everything. That BOY we have now likes to wash the tree and the garlands. That's just plain silly. But he doesn't like to climb up on things, either.

Guess what Mom did? She filled the water dish tonight, and I came down for a drink. Of course that BOY couldn't wait, so I had to keep interrupting my drink to growl at him to back off. So mom filled another bowl! Now we both have a water dish! Yay!

Our stocking didn't come back yet, but there's a present that smells a LOT like a pet store! I can't wait!

I was bad.

But honestly, that BOY gets on my nerves!! He was sitting on the steps yesterday to keep me from going upstairs (That's okay if I do it. I'm the senior cat). I got really mad and things got howly and mom yelled at us. Then she freaked out because I lost a claw sheath and it got stuck on the Boy's nose. She caught him and pulled it off and then got really mad at me. I can't help when those things crack off! I don't shed claws on purpose!
Maybe it won't matter, though. She came home with lots and lots of bags today. I KNOW I smell catnip, and our Christmas stocking has disappeared. Unless it disappeared because Santa isn't coming? Maybe I'll worry. Just a little.

The Boy Is BAAD!!

This is that boy. Do you know what he's sleeping on? Mom came home for lunch and found the tree skirt missing from the Christmas tree. Which is across the ROOM from where he is! See? This is why I don't like him. He's sneaky. He stole that tree skirt! Just because he used to like to sleep under the tree every Christmas, he thinks he owns the tree skirt! Mom moved the tree this year, and the Boy doesn't approve of where she put it. And don't ask me how he got the tree skirt off without knocking down the whole Christmas tree, breaking everything, and setting off the burglar alarm. I stayed upstairs. I'm being good. If he doesn't behave, Santa will skip this house for YEARS!

Beddie with a View

This is the ultimate. Mom meant to put the clothes away, but ran out of time. So a whole basket full of clean clothes. In the bay window, which has two radiators - one under each window. I can see the Christmas decorations outside and hear it if anything is happening. Difficult to get to, but worth it.

Oh, Grooooosss!!

Okay, this is just the kind of thing I'm talking about with that... boy. Look at what he does. It's gross. Here, he's drinking normally. See? He can do it. But he usually doesn't.

THIS is what he does! It's DISGUSTING! He sticks his PAW in the water dish, scoops out water, and drinks out of his paw! Do you know where that paw has BEEN!?!? Believe me, I do! And he sticks it in the water dish that we SHARE!! Sometimes, he sticks toys in there. Lord knows why. Then he puts them in the dry food dish. The boy is disturbed. He disturbs ME. I don't like him.

At last! Toasting Toes

I finally gave in. For weeks now, I've heard Mom coming with

the camera and rolled over quick before she could take a picture. But it's Mom's birthday this week, so I decided to let her take this. We call this "toasting toes". The radiator is so warm and I like to stick my foot out when I sleep. Mom says my foot looks like a marshmallow on a stick.

We've been decorating for Christmas here, so I'm exhausted. Especially since I was sick last night. I ate some yellow stuff and it didn't agree with me. Mom said it was Easter grass, it didn't even LOOK like food, where did I get it, and what was I thinking? I don't know -- I like that stuff. Back to sleep!
