Links: Kitty’s First Christmas

Cat lies on its back looking up at a Christmas ornament with very wide eyes

And finally: Busy Birbs

Andrew Y. found this compilation of birds making themselves useful-ish.

    I saw the birds the other day. “Spray bottle” birdie is hilarious. Not sure how clean it gets anything…

    Thankfully our cats were not interested in actually climbing the Christmas tree. Stars liked to just lay underneath (on the hand-made-by-my-Grandma cross-stitch tree skirt, of course). Stripes was more interested in playing with the ornaments occasionally but we just made sure there was nothing breakable at the bottom and it was fine.

    Aww the birdies! They are so funny.

    The birdies are too funny! Especially the one trying to help stir the spoon in the coffee. More like a spazz attack! 😂

    I bet snuggling Bundt Cake is like a hugging a space heater. Solid chonk of love.

      I’ve never wanted to hug a bat so badly.

      I love bats so much, they are basically sky puppies.

    Useful birbs are the best. They made me laugh so hard.

      I recognized that hand instantly because I know my Irish folklore!

          I was unable to find the old NTMTOM post I was referencing. It was a sphynx cat guarding a pot of chocolate coins, the St Patty’s day kind. I remember describing it as “endearingly scrotal,” a turn of phrase which caught my cutepatriots off guard.

    Dobby?

    I’d really like to upvote the birbs a few more times!
