Manly Monday

Da Genj: As you know, I was a very busy boy on Christmas Day. Everyone said that I looked so handsome in my Christmas bow tie!

 

Da Beebs: On Christmas Day each year, I get to wear a very special elf collar with little bells on it! 

 

Vidock: I have been enjoying my treats now that #1 has resumed regular visits!

 

Tommy: Mad Fernant and I looked very festive on Christmas Day:

 

And I got to go on another walk in the woods with #1 (sans Fernant as he runs off and cannot be trusted...).

 

Da Trav: For the last few days, I have been getting pieces of real turkey with my evening meal. I don't think I ever ate real turkey before. It's very yummy!

 

Christmas Snuggles on Sunday

Tama-Chan: Today's post is going to be a bit of a mishmash. The last few days have been busy. #1 is still not 100% and gets tired really easily, and hasn't been taking as many photos as usual. So, not everyone will be featured in today's post, but we wanted to convey the Christmas spirit to you.

I was a most gracious hostess on Christmas Day when all the family was with us:

 

Those are most excellent boys who truly appreciate kitties. 

Guess who was a complete tart? 

 

Every time they come, they always ask if they can take Genji home, even though they have a wonderful house panther, Pixel, of their own.

My Beebs was looking very festive in his elf collar:

 

Sei-Chan was MIA all day. None of the guests saw her as she stayed upstairs away from the noise.

Tommy, on the other hand, had a great day. Here he is with the twins:

 

 

And Mad Fernant was never far away...

 

We all got prezzies from the boys!

 

 And I shall leave you with a shot of Tommy enjoying a snuggle with #1:

SEIturday Slumbers

Sei-Chan: I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day. We certainly did, with all of the family who joined us for a raucous Christmas lunch. After all of that, we need to rest and we have decided to spend a good part of the day in bed!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

From all of us to all of you. May the spirit of Christmas, with all its kindness and goodwill, be with you today.

Trav's Thankful Christmas Eve

Trav: Greetings, One and All. Trav here, aka "The Traveller." #1 told me that today is a special day, the start of a big celebration for many people around the world. Apparently, they call it the season of good will to all, so I thought it would be the perfect time to express mine, and my thanks.

One year ago, I am not really sure where I was. #1 says that from just how feral I am, I must always have been on my own, never knowing the comfort of a home or the sweetness of a kind hand. Anyway, you may remember that I somehow found myself at the end of this lane in early March. I wasn't sure about this place at first but nobody chased me away, which was a first. Then, little by little some food started to appear for me. There were some other cats around but they were pretty cool and there was a floppy-eared woofie who didn't even chase me. For a while, I came and went but started to hang out quite regularly on an old mattress that was on top of a beat-up car in a hangar. There was a lady with curly hair who started talking to me, and I could see she put out food for me.

The months passed, and the food kept coming, two meals a day! The lady showed me a spot at the back of her garage where there were boxes filled with soft straw. I got my very own food and water bowls and I now have a warm shelter for when it gets cold (hasn't happened yet). And I even have a name. She calls me "Trav"! I still wont let anywhere near me, no closer than about three feet, but I am so, so thankful for everything I now have. I know many of you have been asking about me from afar too and I would like to let you know how thankful I am.

Merry Christmas from your feral friend, Da Trav!

Genji on Wednesday

Genji: I asked #1 for a special Christmas bowtie this year. I wanted something that would look good against my furs. This is what she ordered:

Do you like it?

Our poor #1 is still not as well as she would like to be. The sore throat came back. Can you believe that? I'm revving up my nursing engines...

Tama-Chan Tuesday

Tama-Chan: I am feeling pretty mellow at the moment, Dear Friends.

Evenings by #1's side on the sofa...

 

Lolling about on the rug...

 

A spot of grooming...

 

I think I am ready for Christmas!
