Peace and Joy to you and your families, from the FFRC cats.

Friday was a fairly quiet day. The cats and kittens were concentrating on being good, as they heard that Santa Paws is visiting them today around 12:30. Oh, it's so hard to be good ALL of the time! Loyal is still in his pen with the door open. We've been lifting him out, holding him, then putting him on the cat stairs, but he immediately jumps right back in his pen. He'll circle around and lay down to watch over things. He seems relaxed, just not ready to come out yet. Sari was everywhere in the rescue center yesterday. So good to see her out cruising. Little Haskins is also out and about and possibly may have a hold on him already. Yesterday when I was petting Badu, I was looking around on the far side of the rescue center. There were 7 gold cats all close together, just napping away! I also saw Twinkle sleeping with her monkey again. We had the see-thru tunnel out last night. I counted 8 cats in there at one time. Peach and Preakness (both torties) were playing with a mylar ball together yesterday for at least 15 minutes--so sweet to see them sharing. Punkin is becoming another shoulder kitten.

We had BOXES last night! Thank you all for your support--this helps us tremendously.

Shazadoobie--Christmas song words. This was read to the webcam viewers--so funny, we

all enjoyed it!

We also had "the real story of the cam". Apparently the webcam was down the night before, but we were informed of what REALLY happened to the cam. Apparently it had something to do with Octavia, Hannah (yes, sweet Hannah), Sheriff Putter and Deputy Paddy.

Tonight we have another story to read: A message for Sheriff Putter. The subject: theft of property report Sounds like Sheriff Putter needs to get his whip out and make these

kitties behave! There's thievery among the cats!

Thank you all for your support. I wish you and your families a wonderful, blessed Christmas tomorrow. Enjoy your day, be thankful and rejoice in this special day. Thank you for being a part of our webcam family.
