Holiday greetings, my dearest friends!
It’s that most wonderful time of year…snuggle season! Actually, it hasn’t been very cuddly weather here, with record warm temperatures, but I’m always willing to cuddle when the days are so short and the nights so long. If I like you.
It would seem that, once again, the people around here are misinterpreting my ebullient nature as aggression towards other cats. What do they know? I just have strong opinions. And a strong right hook. One of my favorite people of all, Jonathan, has been sticking up for me, at least. When some snitch reported on me being “bad”, Jonathan replied, “Not my Boots. I haven’t seen it!”
Jonathan’s also been standing up for my handsomeness. When, of all people, my own correspondent accused me of getting fat (!), Jonathan’s response was, “Boots? Not Boots!” That man is a true friend.
In fact, I was thinking, as we head into the third annual Boots Rosenberg Holiday Sing-a-Long, I should do something special for that special man. So, Jonathan, this one’s for you!
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Said the night wind to the kitten dear,
“Do you see what I see?
Underneath the couch, kitten dear,
Do you see what I see?
Some chow, some chow, right there in the dish
That is filled with turkey and fish,
That is filled with turkey and fish.”
Said the kitten dear to the mouser strong,
“Do you hear what I hear?
O’er by lobby door, mouser strong,
Do you hear what I hear?
Some slurps, some slurps, make some room for me?
Eating chicken doused in gravy,
Eating chicken doused in gravy.”
Said the mouser strong to the mighty Boots,
“Do you know what I know?
In your palace walls, mighty Boots,
Do you know what I know?
Good eats, good eats, soon will come our way
When they bring us salmon paté,
When they bring us salmon paté.”
Said good Boots to the people everywhere,
“Listen to what I say!
You want peace, people, everywhere?
Listen to what I say!
The cats, the cats, we who sleep all night
You will bring us grub at first light,
You will bring us grub at first light!”
Of course, my dear sponsors, you know that every song in my heart is for you. Thank you so much for loving every bit of me (however much those every bits might expand!) Have an utterly delightful holiday season!
Yours,
Boots
