Christmas in Catopia

Dec 20, 2011

Hello loyal fans, Tuxedo Stanley here again.

Here’s a splendid close-up of me for your enjoyment. Undoubtedly it will be the best gift you receive this Christmas.

We had some excitement in Catopia this week.

A large box showed up on the living room floor. I quickly put my keen sense of smell to work.

Stan sniffing box

Earl joined in. We were surprised to see three small trees come out of the box although they didn’t smell like any trees we were familiar with.

Earl decided to investigate the box. He couldn’t find any useful clues but he said it was a cool place to hang out.

Mom put the small trees together to make one big tree. Then she started stringing lights around the branches.

We thought she lost her mind.

Earl tried to straighten a crooked branch. Mom didn’t seem to appreciate his help.

Before long there were a whole bunch of TOYS on the branches! Earl found a ball...

I found a mouse!

Louise thought she could smell a faint aroma of turkey on the branches. Thelma says she loves turkey.

Thelma realized what was happening when she found presents under the tree - IT’S CHRISTMAS!

She couldn’t contain herself - she broke out into a Christmas song called FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

That's all for this week. See you next week!

    What's a Diva?

  13. A Diva is a spoiled little gray girl, aptly named by the French male stork (Pierre) who found her and help her find her way to her new Mother.
