Happy Holidays, Friends of Faye!

‘Twas two weeks before Christmas, when throughout Tabby’s Place,
All the kitties were stirring all over the place.
While her suitemates were snuggled and warm in their beds,
Faye was reading her copy of Vogue instead.

When up on the cubbies, there arose such a clatter
Faye glanced (with side-eye) to see what was the matter.
She spied a “struggle” as there often may be
When suitemates compete to be BMOC.

Some kitties throw shade, some kitties get snarky,
But Faye has no time for that kind of malarkey.
This princess is calm, staying out of the fray,
High up on the ramps, safely out of the way.

It’s not that our Faye is strictly contrarian,
She’d just rather chase sunbeams out in the solarium.
At times Faye’s more social; at times she’s quite witty,
But all of the time, she’s one gorgeous kitty.

And, as a princess, it’s her royal duty
To wow all our visitors with her striking beauty.
She winds ’round their legs, she makes pirouettes,
She loves to be snuggled and adores humans’ pets.

I’ve wondered quite often how this gorgeous kitty
Has not been adopted. It seems such a pity.
We know that she’s had a complicated history
And that could explain some part of the mystery

In spite of this, though, I still want to believe
That Santa has a Christmas miracle up his sleeve.
My wish for Faye this holiday season
Is a family who’ll treasure her beyond reason

Until they arrive (and I’m certain they’ll show),
Faye has you as her family, and she loves you so.
And so, all was merry. And so, all was bright.
Happy Christmas, dear sponsors, and to all a good night!

Faye sends you all her love and thanks you for the wonderful gift of your friendship and sponsorship. She loves you from the innermost place in her beautiful heart and wishes you a happy holiday season, now and always.

Your correspondent,
Beth

p.s. Friends, while Faye is enjoying good health this month, we are continuing to monitor her weight, as she has been experiencing some gradual weight loss over the past month. This could be connected to the decrease in her steroid dose, but it could also be related to some pre-holiday stress in her suite. Faye is overjoyed that Jessie and Cody—a pair of kitties who were known to control the floor space in the suite and bully some of the female cats—were adopted! This duo of troublemakers were quite a source of stress for Faye from time to time—even blocking her access to her beloved solarium! Good grief! But now that these little grinches have been adopted, we are hopeful that things will return to their former state of calm.
