Merry Christmas From Our Home to Yours

December 24, 2014 By Robin Lee Hatcher

A HOLIDAY MYSTERY TO MAKE YOU SMILE

A near tragedy occurred two weeks ago in our home while we slept. Princess Pinky was apparently guilty of attacking Santa, Frosty, and Rudolph and leaving them, faces down, in a pool of tree skirt. The victims have fully recovered but are unable to remember the exact details of that fateful night. Authorities continue the hunt for the suspect.

If you see this tuxedo cat, also known as “Thirteen Pounds of Don’t-Touch-Me,” approach with extreme caution. Here is a mug shot where she is lulling everyone into thinking she likes Santa.

Santa and Rudolph have reported for their usual Christmas Eve duties. Watch for them on a rooftop near you.

MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Robin, Jerry, Poppet, and Pinky

Merry Christmas

    Robin, I couldn’t help but laugh reading this! We know this all too well in our house. In fact, our cat is so mischievous, we’ve put him in a separate room overnight (with food, water, and litter, of course) since we’ve had our tree up. There’s no way that tree would still be standing come morning, without any supervision!

    Merry Christmas to you!

      I’m thankful that Pinky has never seemed tempted to climb the tree.

    Here I thought my cats, Mr. HoBo and Cali were bad at Christmas. All they do is carry off the town people and street lamps of my Christmas village. A direct act of vandalism and kidnapping I suppose. Mr. HoBo also arranges the ornaments on my tree. This is not necessarily a bad thing unless you consider that his place of preference for the ornament may end up to be on the floor.
    Then he sits there looking innocent and sweet.
    Merry Christmas and if I see Pinky I’ll call the authorities.

    LOL — Christmas hijinks at your house! Hope the purrs make up for the naughty! Pets really do turn a house into a very entertaining home. Merry Christmas to the two-leggers and four-leggers in your family!

      Darlene, I will encourage Poppet to do another guest post. And yes, she runs the family and routinely tries to put the feline in her place.

    Too cute, Robin! Merry Christmas to ALL of you ( including the perpetrator). Just finished your latest release. Eagerly anticipating the new one.
