I’ve been told it’s wrong to use a (clean) compression stocking as a Christmas stocking for my cat. It’s filled with Bizzy Balls, Bat-a-Birds and assorted catnip mousies and fishies. Personally, I don’t think the cat cares where the stocking comes from.

Aww. Panache that’s sweet. The Siameezers had a Mackerel feast. The littlest grandwrek sang ‘Away in a Manger’ while they ate. Bear kept one blue eye trained on her the whole time.  
Merry Cat-mas Vienna!!
