Winter Holiday Cats

It's December and old man Winter is fast approaching. It's not too early to gather together photos of our Winter Holiday Cats, whether your family celebrates Christmas or Hanukkah Kaylee is a beautiful longhair calico cat, with a patience not normally found in calicoes. By the way, it should be noted that Poinsettias are still considered mildly toxic to cats, although the ASPCA has downgraded their toxicity. Her photo was included in the Winter Holiday Cats Show and Tell feature on my site last year. I hope this year we can double the number of Winter Holiday Cats.

| Safeguard Your Cats' Health in Winter
Nothing can ruin the Winter holidays faster than a sudden illness of a loved cat, especially a senior guy in his final years.

| Cat Hobbies Picture Gallery
In Ways to Enjoy Cats Without Having One, I suggested several hobbies, crafts, and volunteer activities that anyone who loves cats can do, whether or not they live with a cat.

Donny wasn't doing so well at the pound, and when cat fosterer Amberly saw him she insisted on taking him and his littermate home to foster. Thanks to her loving care, the vet has given Donny a clean bill of health and he is the delight of the household, watching over all the other cats, both fosters and Amberly's own cats. Guess which category Donny fits in? See More Red Cats | Share Your Cat
