Far, far be it from me to fat-shame cats.
To do that would require (a) that fatness was shameful and (b) that cats were capable of shame.
But given that we are given neither of those givens, I present you with a wish come true.
Yes, you can have a hippopotamus for Christmas.

Tabby’s Place rescues sweet seniors who have nowhere else to turn. Their hearts are full of love, and these gentle souls deserve tenderness, respect, and excellent care.
Please give from your golden heart, so senior cats can have happy golden years. Your
donation will go where it is most needed.
Harriet, age 16, was once forgotten and alone. A car accident left her with life-threatening
injuries. But the best days of Harriet’s life were ahead: she became a Tabby’s Place cat.
Surgery saved her life, and love mended her broken heart. Today, this shaggy sweetheart
reigns in our Executive Director’s office, receiving world-class care for her kidney
disease and arthritis.
Steven, age 15, has lived at Tabby’s Place all his life. He may have numerous Special
Needs, but Steven is as happy as springtime itself. Our little “elder statescat” is thriving
through his golden years, enfolded in love and adored by all.
Absolutely! You may mail your tax-deductible donation to

That is truly the worst song ever written – and now its stuck in my head for the duration of the day. Our orange striped hippopotamus is currently sunning himself while watching the birds at the feeder. xoxox
Oh wow – what sweetness! Thank you Nell Nolan for adopting wonderful Orion. Long life and happiness to you. Bud, Divya, Jackie, Wolfie, Zencada – just more furry wonderfulness to love.
If Orion being adopted isn’t a Christmas miracle, I don’t know what is! WOW! (Also – there’s nothing wrong with being a little chubby…)
I hope Santa brings the best present of all to more of our Tabby’s Place cats. Their forever home and their forever humans. That would be my Christmas wish.
