That empty bag cartoon always gets me 😿😻 (this is where I need a happy tears emoji)

Muchas gracias, el gato, for the poetic greetings, uplifting laughter, galvanizing missives, and continually inspiring work. You have created a beautiful space that I feel privileged to be a part of.

Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays for those who reside in the blue bits ;-) to you and everyone here, and let's get ready to turn 2023 into the Good Reset:

I started to say happy holidays but decided it was Christmas and just gave myself the present of saying the non politically correct β€œMerry Christmas”. 🀢

I usually say it regardless, but for sure say it to all the masked up workers behind plexiglass screens in still so many stores, even here in relatively sane Georgia. I'll grab my bags at the side of the plexiglass and almost shout it loud for all to hear!

My cats have been spoiled with empty bags and boxes. Next comes the tissue paper.

Merry Christmas everyone!

With curly ribbon!

curly ribbon was banned at our house after our boy edgar ate some of it and nearly died. i highly recommend a combo of da bird and tissue paper!

Expand full comment

Oh, you’re right, some cat toys are β€˜with constant supervision only’!

Do you ball up the tissue paper and throw it and have them run after it? Miss my cats, rainbow bridge and all that. Do have a dog that loves to snuggle.

our forever cats and fosters alike prefer several sheets of tissue paper flat on the floor with da bird flying overhead alternating with a snake like motion underneath. i’m sure your cats check in on you. they visit, you know. just invite them with gratitude and keep your heart open. glad you have a pup to love! 🀍

haha ! they thought to outsmart the cat and hang their tree! nothing is safe for a determined cat! on the other hand, none of my cats has ever messed with my knitting yarn when i sit outside (but I do not trust them inside with my thousands of balls)'

Merry Christmas Gato! kiss all your dear ones and hug all the cats! or vice versa!

Thanks to all my online friends who have given me some of the best laughs of my life. I have had the privilege of some of the best discussions/conversations as well in my life.

I am humbled by the intellect, experience and common purpose of all the good people here. I thank my lucky stars for stumbling upon this forum.

Gato - just thanks man! Forever grateful for all your hard work, insight and mind blowing work product! You're the best!

And thanks for the Darth Vader meme. Perfect for a sci-fi loving nerd who's a child of the 70's!
