Merry Christmas to all.
I’ll flesh this story out a bit more tomorrow but suffice it to say I walked into the pet store looking for one cat and came away with two.
They are Last Chance cats, meaning they’re destined for the Humane Society if they aren’t placed with a family.
Meet Jack and Jill, or as I call them, Jackal and Jilly-boo. They are three years old and brother and sister. We took both so they could be kept together – they are fantastic with each other. Jack has been out and about all evening and you would have thought he was our cat for years the way he’s been with the commotion and kids. He was calm, cool, and catlike.
I even crashed my helicopter next to him and he barely twitched. (full-control chopper – yay for me)
Why, someone got a cat for Christmas under the tree... (Jack)
Jilly-boo is a bit more reserved. She came out and really started scoping the place out after the kids went down. Shown below is her as she’s scoping the upper back shelves in our closet.
Why, there's ANOTHER one in the closet... (Jilly-boo)
Me and Cruel Wife, we’re tickled to have critters running about and cats are autonomous enough that they’re fitting in very well.
Now…
Mitchell, the gift to Cruel Wife was totally freakin’ awesome. A Girl Genius print, and a great one at that. I tell you, that Agatha… rowr. And it has coffee on it, too! Thank you again for the leather satchel as well. Yours is in-transit.
More about Christmas and our totally hedonistic materialist binge tomorrow. I’ve been a miser for years now and this Christmas we’ve been able to splurge a little. It’s been nice.
Santa Paws would be proud.
Yes, Santa Paws thought it was purrfect.
I’m really really enjoying those two critters. The door’s open if you want to meet them.
Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas to you and the family.
Same to you, Crazy Cat Lady, and all the furred ones at the Cat Ranch.
Gonna be around next week? I owe you money – perhaps a lunch? Have your people get in touch with my people…
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
*hugs to all*
Thanks Aggie! To y’all down there, too!
Merry Christmas! Congrats on the kittehs! I’m off to do presents with the Parentals.
Merry Christmas from out here in the hinterlands!
Belated Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc. And looking forward to Caturday pictures!
Like Lays Potato Chips, cats are great, you can’t eat^H^H^H own just one. That’s why we adopted sister kittens. Wanted to name them Coors and Coors Light, the Silver Bullets. Sigh. They’re Stripes and Misty instead.
Enjoy the Holiday!
Cuteness!!
Something tells me if we ever see kitties in the house, they will be named “Jesus Christ” and “Damn It” (much like the old Bill Cosby routine) as that wil be the two phrases most often heard around the mannor.

Belated Christmas Greetings, LK!
You had the best Christmas ever, both for the kitties you rescued, and your lucky family!
Have fun with your new “children”.
Thank you, Bunni!
The “kids” are doing great. Jilly is attached to me and Jack is on the girl’s bed from the moment she goes down at night.
Jack calmly puts up with my son’s idiosyncrasies and just kind of hangs out.
For the life of me I can’t figure out why they weren’t adopted sooner.
