My Holiday Helper

Uploaded: December 15, 2004

Description

Every year, when I get out the wrapping paper, tape and ribbons, Stinker thinks that I can't do anything without him. This stuff is better than catnip for him! He always jumps right in the middle and attacks ribbons, tape, wrapping paper and even wrapped presents! :)

Bunny Snow December 15, 2004

This is wonderfully done, K.

We've had cats such like Stinker. In fact, I'm feeding a colony of feral cats that are three generations from a pregnant female that was dumped two years ago. In that 3rd generation litter are two cats which are also little Stinkers. They are fun, terrorize their half blind aunt (cat), and would be purrfect trouble if kept inside. Fortunately, for my pocketbook, they are all neutered now, but unless their curiosity does them in, they should outlive me.

I wish I could photograph them as you've photograped your little helper. This picture of yours is prime Christmas card material. Perhaps, you should contact Hallmark or one of the other gift card companies.

Happy Christmas, K and Stinker! #974210

Leonard Pierce December 15, 2004

Thanks Len! And thank you too Susan - you're very kind! They are a lot of fun aren't they? And they are so funny to watch when they're kittens - they're always into something.... Thanks so much for your kind comments. I appreciate them. -K #975059
