Images of Christmas Past

I found this lovely vintage postcard on ebay toward Christmas. 
How perfect - my two passions, cats and amaryllis.

Mr. Poole and Manitou are transfixed by something.

Manitou displays his majestic ruffle - all in all, 
he has floofed out tremendously. 
And he sure needs the extra warmth today - it is -30!

Rascal the refugee takes comfort from the frigid outdoors.

Happy New Year!

Photobucket
Well, I am very late with an update and best wishes for all for 2012, but sometimes over the holidays, one is so busy doing nothing, there is not time to do anything else! ;)  Anyway, here it is Sunday afternoon, and rather than wake up the puddies with some much-needed vacuuming, I am relaxing watching the snow fall lightly, and enjoying the last days of the Christmas tree. I always hate taking everything down - it seems like I just put it all up! All seems warm and cozy, and I suspect the tree will still be here next weekend - breaking my Epiphany rule/deadline. As I write, Chaiyka, pictured above, sleeps in heavenly peace with his little pals that double as pillows. Seeing that face, would YOU start the vacuum?? I think not!
