My Holiday Helper
Every year, when I get out the wrapping paper, tape and ribbons, Stinker thinks that I can't do anything without him. This stuff is better than catnip for him! He always jumps right in the middle and attacks ribbons, tape, wrapping paper and even wrapped presents! :)

  Fantastic image K. The clarity is amazing. Great colors and composition. Ummm Stinker looks a wee bit miffed at having to take time out from play to have his picture taken though!! This is AWESOME. I LOVE it!!

  This is wonderfully done, K.

We've had cats such like Stinker. In fact, I'm feeding a colony of feral cats that are three generations from a pregnant female that was dumped two years ago. In that 3rd generation litter are two cats which are also little Stinkers. They are fun, terrorize their half blind aunt (cat), and would be purrfect trouble if kept inside. Fortunately, for my pocketbook, they are all neutered now, but unless their curiosity does them in, they should outlive me.

I wish I could photograph them as you've photograped your little helper. This picture of yours is prime Christmas card material. Perhaps, you should contact Hallmark or one of the other gift card companies.

Happy Christmas, K and Stinker!
