Well this was another photo where we were having fun placing hats on Gemini. I don't have a good one with the Santa hat and the way they are going with the ears, I think pasting them on after the fact may be the only way we get a good holiday cat photo... I'll keep working! It's just fun.

Gemini in Hats

A little slow
The cats are sleeping and I'm close to having everything that needs to be done for the holidays done.
Chey has been on a tear about the food thing. She really really wants canned food only and she's decided to even be a bit picky about that. Siamese cat that she is, she isn't shy about using her voice to complain! And complain she does! I was talking to my real estate agent for about half an hour last night and she meowed through all of it! The poor woman probably thinks I'm insane to have that cat like that!
Well, we've decided her Christmas gift will be a squirt gun. Perhaps she'll learn some manners--along with Gemini!

Failed photo ops
I have this antler headdress for a small dog and I wanted a photo to upload of Gemini as a Merry Christmas to all her loyal fans. Alas, the photo op didn't go as planned. She didn't sit still. She wouldn't look at the camera and then she pulled them off.
Georgia just ran away.
Chey was lulled into sitting with me by the dangly thing on the antlers. I managed to get those on her head and we have a great shot of everything but her head as she leaps off my lap and I grab frantically for her.
Ah well.
Remember, it's the thought that counts!

Cat Chases
Okay, the cats love chasing each other around the house with the tree. They love running under the tree. They love to pull one of my handmade ornaments off the tree. They have jumped over and opened I don't know how many presents. I am thinking I need a fence, but they'd just jump over it.
On the good side of things I got down to my local natural pet store and got some new cat food. I wanted the Innova Evo, which is mostly protein and is supposed to be good. I saw it but decided that it was too high in protein for Georgia. It'd be hard on her kidneys. I got their regular cat food instead. We'll switch around with some mature for her and some of that for Gemini and Chey. The latest thing in feeding cats seems to be variety so they get a little of this and little of that and not too much of any one thing. So hopefully they'll never get on a kick and only eat one or two things! However, I might start having a hard time deciding what to purchase!

Gemini's Christmas Gift?
One of my coworkers was saying today that she could decorate the tree tomorrow because finally her cat had stopped climbing the tree.
Here I thought I was the only one who was slowly introducing a cat to the tree and the assorted play toys of the season!
Gemini has been quite adept at pulling on the strings that come off of packages. She's opened one gift bag several times. She must be hoping that it's for her, but it's not. I'm thinking about getting her a grooming clipper so I can keep her bottom clipped up. I suppose that's the cat's version of getting underware for Christmas, huh?

Photo Fun
I was having too much fun playing around with cat photos. This is the best of all of them, though Gemini in a camo hat is pretty cute too. Off to find more cut outs for the cats in hats!

Holiday Safety
Well I have a fake poinsettia and the cats have tried to tear it apart, which reminds me that the reason it's fake is that poinsettias can be toxic to pets. Remember to be careful.
Other holiday hazards include that stuff you put in your Christmas tree water can be toxic if the pet drinks out of the tree stand. Tinsel can clog up a cat's digestive system. It also has sharp enough edges that it can cause some inner tearing of the stomach. There are lots of small parts that might be enticing. Ribbons and bows are great cat toys and you may not want them playing.
Gemini has found a new hazard that I haven't had to deal with before. She wants to play with the Christmas lights as they blink off and on! So chewing on cords can be a hazard which means making sure she is not unattended around the tree!
Most pets and holidays do just fine. But remember where the main haxards are and try and minimize them! Good cheer.
