We all know that nothing says Christmas like a cat, curled up by the fire with a pointsetta in the background. Except for trees, mistletoe, eggnog, piles of food and (my favorite) marshmallows and cocoa. But having your cat around, especially when he's has just returned after beeing missing for days, makes the day all the more special. I'm glad Kiri is home, Clare! Phoebe is more than happy to share her Christmas toys, consisting of bits of wrapping paper and ribbon, with him.

Merry Christmas, everyone.
