We had a hard time getting anyone to volunteer for this year’s Christmas e-card. A very hard time. We didn’t want to disturb Olivia who was napping, Viola looked mortified and gently reminded us she was last year’s “volunteer,” and Tessa, well, Tessa’s never quite forgiven us for using her during our 2020 Christmas card bonanza in which she seemed the perfect spokescat for so many of those pressing holiday questions.
This year’s “volunteers” just did not want to get into the holiday spirit, not initially. We didn’t use catnip or treats to get them to pose because honestly, have you ever seen a cat “pose” when high on catnip? Maybe they do, but something tells us that kind of posing around here wouldn’t be appropriate for a public Christmas card.
We ended up choosing Quint and Pia. Both had been napping previously . . . which might explain the first couple of photos. We can still hear them now:
Lovely. All finally turned out well as you can see up over there –> on the top of the right hand side bar (click each to see a bigger version). Probably no hard feelings either, most likely. Not like Tessa who has the memory of an elephant and holds a grunge like a grunge-holding tuxie cat. And since that’s the case, let’s revisit a couple more of Tessa’s other e-card masterpieces.
