I hope you’re all having a wonderful day and weekend. I cut and paste the following every year because although they are recycled words, they hold 100% true:
You guys are the best, and I appreciate you so very much. Thank you for coming back here to read and comment or lurk – and for some of you (a lot of you at this point!) for adopting kittens from us. It’s been a great, kind of crazy, and sometimes sad year, and I hope 2023 is a little calmer and a lot safer, with no losses for any of us.
I’d most likely keep this blog going even if no one was reading – I don’t know that I’d ever be able to remember when certain events happened without this handy blog to serve as my diary to be honest – but you guys make it so much better, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus – whatever holiday you celebrate (or don’t) I hope you are warm, happy, safe, healthy, and well-fed.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. May God bless you and keep you safe.
Merry Christmas to you and Fred and all the Permies. Your cards are a highlight each and every year, but my favorite will probably forever be Miss Stinkerbelle in 2015. Still makes me giggle.
Happy Christmas to you and Fred and the feline gangs! Thanks for another year of fostering fun.
Merry Christmas Robyn and family. I’m so glad I came across your blog a couple of years ago. I look forward to it everyday, along with your witty commentaries. Wishing you the best in the coming year.
Merry Christmas from Amber, Phoenix, and Stardust! They all got some treats and I found out that Churu doesn’t do anything for Phoenix, everyone else had a churu party!
