The Twelve Days of Christmas: Feline Style

Dear Blue the Cat,

I'm honored that you thought of me this Christmas. However, it seems that there are a few things that we need to clear up.

• Just because there is a song about one's true love bringing avian gifts does not mean that this is the only way to show affection during this season.


• A mourning dove is not the same as a turtle dove.


• A "partridge in a pear tree" is not a rodent.

Your neighbor, Becky

ps. Tell Punkin that I got her a cardboard box.
