Some may remember Mog the cat - after my day, alas - but [this Christmas TV advert](https://youtu.be/kuRn2S7iPNU) involving him is very sweet.

Just like a cat to cause all that havoc, and come out the hero. 😉

That was adorable.

Well, there was a real fire that he didn’t caus, although I don’t know if the turkey would have caused that much trouble without help.

I have never been so emotionally invested in an advert. Adorable! (And I can see one of my kitties causing similar havoc)

But if the people had switched off their lights before retiring for the night, there would be no risk of cat-caused fires. And if they had a smoke alarm. Hah! I am spoilsport.

I had never heard of the Mog character, but recognised the name of Judith Kerr, whom I only associate with the book “When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit”. I had never known that Kerr herself had been a refugee from the Nazis when young.

I liked that big scary robin in the cat’s nightmare. 😃
