Presents

My MH was away to Kirkwall today to do some shopping 'cos my little friend the weather man says it is going to snow again on Thursday and we are going to have gale force winds, so she thought she had better go before she got blowed away.

Me and my DH worked outside for a wee while but I kept nipping inside for a wee feed and a wee rest while he stayed outside. We had a good day and I helped him lots, although I don't think he really appreciated my help.

Then my MH came home and she brought me a Christmas present! I don't know what it is but it is under the tree, so maybe I should stop climbing the tree in case it falls on my present and breaks it.

After her tea, she had to wrap some more presents so I helped her too and this time my help WAS appreciated, especially when I tried to steal some sellotape!

I think I am going to like Christmas.

Better

I have not been a monster today. I have been a very good puss full of energy and bouncing round my house, but I have NOT climbed the Christmas tree.

My humans have told me that I can keep my little Christmas toy, so I have been playing with it in my kitchen which is just magic 'cos we have tiles on the floor and it slides all over the place. Mind you, so do I!

I have been out playing lots and lots and last night I went out for a long time in the dark and I loved it. There are lots of noises and smells that I can follow and I feel like a very grown up pussy cat when I am outside all by myself in the dark.

My MH's friend came over today and she had a giggle at me 'cos I was inside her shopping bag having a wee sniff and what she had brought. I love sniffing in bags and my MH giggles at me too.

I will let you into a secret. My MH told me that Santa would only come if I had been a good puss, so that is what I am trying to be. I only hope I can last for twelve days. It is a LONG time.!

Monster!

That's what my MH called me today, and I don't know why 'cos I was just being a caring, concerned puss cat and had a closer inspection of our Christmas decorations.

How was I to know that the tree wasn't for climbing on? Nobody told me until it was too late really. I did try it a few times in the hope that the humans might change their mind and let me play in among the decorations, but they haven't ---yet!

We have another decoration which is Santa Claus sitting on his chair with lots of toys and things round about him, and whenever there is nobody looking, I pinch one of the toys and play with it. My humans put it back again and we start all over again. Brilliant game and today's picture is me with one of the ornaments.

But still no reason to call me a monster!!

Santa

There is not too much news today except that the weather is still awful and I have been indoors all the time playing with my toys and my humans.

But there was a wee surprise here today as Santa came over to our wee island too see some of our children, but sadly not to see pussy cats, so I had to stay at home. There are three little children and two big children so Santa makes a special trip to see them and he comes with his elves on our ferry boat. All the humans go with the children and sing Christmas songs at the pier although my MH said it was a bit windy for that today, but they had mince pies in the waiting room afterwards.

Sometimes I wish I was a human----but not a lot 'cos I like being a very spoiled pussy cat!

Oh Dear

It has been an indoor day today because it is very wet and very windy and definitely not a day for pussy cats like me to be outside. So I have been sleeping on my couch and playing with my toys.

I also helped my MH when she was making the bed and that is one of my favourite games 'cos I hide under the duvet and she doesn't know where I have gone and she gets all worried and calls for me and after a wee while I pop out from under the quilt and she gets all excited again.

It is a super game but I do get a wee bit worried that my MH isn't the brightest of sparks 'cos surely she MUST know where I am?

My DH went to Kirkwall again so I gave him my list and I am now just waiting eagerly for him to come home so that I can see what he has brought me.

So----

My MH told me all about the Christmas story and the Christmas tree so I am really excited now 'cos it's not too many sleeps till Santa Claus comes although it is my birthday first. I am one whole year old on 15th December, so I think I will be getting lots of presents this month. My MH says she will help me make out my list for Santa so I shall need to do some serious thinking.

I have had a few wee inspections of our Christmas tree and the Boss caught me with her camera, so the 'who, me? No!' look doesn't really work, does it? There is a wee angel in particular that I have my eye on and she usually lands on the floor and then I get a row, but I just purr and giggle.

All the snow has nearly disappeared now and I can see green grass again, although there are bits of my garden that still have snow on them, so I can play in that. We had a lot of rain last night and that took away all my lovely snow, but my wee friend the weather man says it will probably come back, so that will be good.

I'm off to have a wee think now.

Dear Santa-------------

Too Windy

It is a not nice day today and I haven't been out playing too much. There is still a lot of snow and more came to my garden last night, but it brought the wind with it too, so I can't get out 'cos I don't like the wind in case I blow away.

I went out for a wee while and attacked as much snow as I could and when I was ready to go inside, I jumped up onto the kitchen window and when my DH saw me, he opened the door and I flew in!

I am quite liking being in the house today because my humans are doing something very odd indeed. They are putting a tree up in my living room and it has got lots of wee toys on it and funny lights. It looks lovely but I don't know why it is there, but my MH said she would tell me all about it tonight, so I can't wait.

I helped to put all the tinsel on and I tried to climb to the top, but my humans told me not to do that, so I stopped.

Maybe later!!
