In the Middle Ages, people believed that at midnight as Christmas Eve became Christmas Day, all the animals of stable and field would be able to speak aloud in celebration.
Pretty sure my cats would be saying, “Make the fireworks stop!” right now…
Goldie is quite ready to take charge of poor Lupin. She can even smile through the threat! Lupin’s poof and enraged expression are on a collision course with a lesson in manners.
And a Merry (as merry as you can reasonably expect, anyway, which is probably not very) Christmas to all, but with an extra thought for those who have recently lost someone.
Andy, our Son Mike, the Castle Clowder, and I would like to wish our Orb family a Merry Christmas! May you and yours, and your furbabies be blessed! We also remember the family members that we have lost. May the holiday spirit bring you comfort and peace.
I have 7 special needs cats, one blind 18.5 year old spaniel that make up my immediate Family. One Foster British Massive whose Guards is in a rehab facility after Breaking his leg at the hip joint. They are all calming down after fireworks now. I received a great Christmas present from Remi my Torrie who usually doesn’t cuddle much, she loves pets but she doesn’t snuggle with me or the others, usually. Tonight she did, she cuddled up
From the Small Bear and myself, a heartfelt thanks for your amazing support and kindness over our loss. You are all truly wonderful people. Happy Christmas to all and whatever your religious persuasion we wish you all a peaceful and joyous holiday.
Merry Christmas to every single cat, kitten, pup, person and assorted furball. Finding BCN and the lovely Orb made this a wonderful year. On to a new year of love and adventure for everyone!
And folks, Christmas is all about sharing and caring. I believe y’all got some nice Christmas cakes which can be shared with a poor hungry bear. Ok. Gimme all those cakes now! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Oh, they’re a real family now! Lupin and Goldie, acting just like a real brother and sister. . . I predict that soon, a new adventure will beckon, and they will find themselves working together and getting along, without even realizing it. =)
Suddenly had a flashback to Captain Kangaroo, one of the little crudely animated songs they used to do was one about “The Horse in Striped Pajamas” (a zebra, of course). Merry Christmas to all of you and your families, hooman and furry!
Thanks for all the kind words yesterday. It helped that I spend yesterday afternoon at my parents and stayed overnight here so I wasn’t home alone. There cat George even slept by me briefly until he got tired of me moving my legs. I thought of a couple of other special memories of Maxie from her younger days. I got her as a kitten from someone I worked with that had a pregnant cat show up at their hose. When she was young she used to act like she was nursing on me by sucking on my clothes. She really got into it sometimes and I would get a pretty wet spot on my clothes. I don’t remember exactly when she grew out of it. She did it for a number of years.
Another thing was she had something in common with Lupin, she was fascinated by fire. I haven’t burned candles in a while because they bothered my allergies, but wh3n I used to I had to watch her closely. She caught her tail on fire a time or two when I turned my back for a second too long. Fortunately it only ever singed it a little. One of my favorite pictures of her is her by a candle on my dresser.
Merry Catmas! And Christmas to those who celebrate. We awoke to a surprise dusting of snow. Stay warm everyone and may you remember your blessings from this year.
Even though I’m several weeks behind on the comics and comments, I wanted to stop by to say Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! May your day be joyous and filled with family, friends and memories.
LUPIN, HOW DARE YOU. Santa will take note of this for next Christmas. The same goes for you, Goldie.
Santa will also take note of the fact that Elvis is trying to stop Lupin, which is a plus for Elvis as that’s a mark on the nice side. Though his denying Santa exists might counteract that good mark. The baby’s holding back Elvis to keep him out of the fight is sure to help her stay on the nice list. The toddler and Puck are absolutely on the nice list, Puck especially for paraphrasing Dickens.
Merry Christmas one and all. Now I think I’ll go get a slice of left over mincemeat before moving on to check Swan Eaters
Joyous Yule to all who celebrate, peace and love to all regardless…and the lyric stuck in my head is ELPs… I wish you a hopeful ChristmasI wish you a brave New YearAll anguish pain and sadnessLeave your heart and let your road be clearThey said there’ll be snow at ChristmasThey said there’ll be peace on EarthHallelujah Noel be it Heaven or HellThe Christmas we get we deserve
Merry Christmas to all who come here to be uplifted or amused. And thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
For Christmas, my daughter gave me a print of the last panels of Peep Toads . I am lucky that she has never given me socks or a tie (I hate ties). I get Swiss Army pens, toy robots, books, and… BCN prints.
Christmas at the parents yesterday only replace the cats fighting with people and there you have it. The animals are always more well behaved than the people.

It’s been very hard, but it’s getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for a while
The trees are shining in the rain — and smiling inside
You and I watching each other by the garden wall
Raccoons and possums and bugs and people go by
But we just purr / We want to know
We want to know in each other’s eyes
That hard times are over, over for sometime
Hard times are over - hard times are over -
Hard times are over, over for a while
Hard times are over - hard times are over -
Hard times are over, over for a while.

This is what I heard on Christmas Day
I heard the meows on Catmas Day
The sounds of fighting did hold sway
As Lupin hissed and Goldie kicked
Where’s Peace on Earth, good will to Cats?
…….
There should be purring (Peace on Earth)
There should be laughing, feline mirth
In my heart I hear them
Peace on Earth, good will to Cats.
…….
Then rang the bells so loud and deep,
God is not dead, Cat does not sleep
The hiss will lose, the purrs ensue,
With Peace on Earth, good will to Cats!
