Twas the Day Before Christmas

Newton: This is what it’s all about. Catching some warm sunbeams while I wait for the big day tomorrow. And by big, I mean that I know that my humans will be home to play wand toy with me ALL DAY.

I’m a spokescat, and I want you humans to know that’s what we cats really want. Sure, we enjoy treats and meals. And in a lot of homes tomorrow, kitties will enjoy destroying wrapping paper and chasing ribbons, too. But what we really want is a little of your time and attention… and maybe a little cuddle or two. That’s the best gift of all. It’s a gift you don’t have to save for holidays, either. You can give it every day of the year!

Just don’t tell anyone I said anything about wanting cuddles, okay? I have a mancat reputation to uphold.

    Newton, you are looking very handsome positioned artful under that tree. Can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t want to play with you! I promise to carry on your tradition and play with my girls today. Carol

    What wonderful looking sun you have, Newton! It snowed here today. Mom had to do pet sitting and barely made it back home. But home she is so we’ll get lots of those cuddles. Concats to your mom! And Merry Christmas to all.
