Christmas is a-comin'...

Oh yes! Snow kitties and Snow Buntings...all things point to Santy Claws time rolling around again.

This is the most exciting time of year for us kitty dudes, and new dudette...Dharma and Murray haven't had a Christmas yet, so this could get dicey. Both she and Murray, otherwise known as the Terrible Two or the Dastardly Duo, are still too young to have gone through a Xmas yet. 
Our Kitty-Mama  is starting to fuss a little, putting up the occasional green thing or colorful bauble and glancing around to see if anyone's flying at her creations. 
Signs have gone up on the guest bedroom door as well as the craft room door..."Santa's Warehouse" and "Santa's Workshop" respectively. We're pretty sure by the delectable smells coming from the workshop that there are things being made...the whirr of the sewing machine and our Mama singing Christmas songs is another good indicator.

The ravaged pom pom bag!

Murray got into the workshop the other day when the door was left ajar and raided the cutting table. It was lots of fun until Kitty-Mama found us, then she took pictures and made us leave. I wonder if she's going to put the pictures up in the post office - 'Bad Kittens for sale". Yikies I hope not!  
There was a huge bag of pom poms there and lots of pencils, ribbon and stacks of cloth. I think these are going to be made into something special. 
 I believe our Kitty Mama has a contract with Santy Claws this time of year, to make the best toys a kitty could want! She uses the best organic cat nip and the prettiest, softest cloth so we will have really fun and cozy playthings. I think she has plans to tell people reading here how to make them for their kitty-kids too, but I'm not sure yet. She has to figure out how to do patterns in the blog.

And...wait! You haven't heard the best! Our Kitty-Mama uses the very best catnip but she is also thinking healthy making the toys too! Yesirree! We get bananas and melons, apples and lemons, tomatoes, peaches and corn on the cob. And maybe not so healthy, but a fun green pickle! MOL!!! Yes, it looks like it's shaping up to be a fun Christmas morning...

Dharma spots a pom pom!

It's at this time of year too when our Kitty Mama gets sort of sad as she remembers all her other babies she made toys for at Christmas. This last year has been a particularly bad one because she lost three babies without warning and was sad for a long time. First our oldest brother 14 year old Jakey died of cancer Feb 12, then in March 18, we lost Dalton, our tiny baby brother just 6 months old...Dalton had a genetic flaw - his body wasn't manufacturing red blood cells. Without that happening, he would surely die, and after four blood transfusions, he lost his battle. Then Bailey in June - he was also 14 and he couldn't remember who he was or how to do anything anymore because he got premature dementia. 

But there are always kittens in need and our Mama knows this so she got Murray and Dharma. Some things happen to make way for others I guess.
