   Rotley is dressing now for his birthday party, and the whiffs of cologne coming from the studio are delicious! Ruggles has pouted his way down the stairs three times, trying to get his cummerbund around a plump waist and his bow tie tied and his handkerchief folded.

   The living room is decorated for Christmas for our little five-year-old, and the snow outside the window makes a perfect counterpoint to all the red and green and silver and white.

   There is a large cake in the middle of the dining room table, and the chandelier above it is twined with ivy and holly, with hand-blown icicles hanging from it.

   The candles are lit in the fire place, roses bloom from Thor's hothouse (Thor is getting ready next door and has been very anxious to see his darling BooBoo), and Rotley is calling Emma again for the fifteenth time in the past hour. Something about his vest popping a button.

   Come one, come all, and celebrate with us! Rotley said yesterday that the best gift is a guest who feels welcome and cherished. Since Emma has prepared a wonderful array of party foods for both kits and parents, she hopes everyone who comes will feel that way.

   Parents are invited, kits are invited, and the snow is sifting down!

   Oooooh, party!!! Bobby and Mi throw on their nice khakis and nice navy shirts to go with them. They come bringing a present for Rotley! Milo and Bob were both so excited about the cat tunnel Milo got for his birthday yesterday that they got one for Rotley, too. They hope he likes it.

   Windi is just beside herself with excitement and has changed clothes maybe six times to find just the perfect outfit for her Rotley's birthday. Finally she has settled on a red velvet dress, cut just a bit low in the front, with white fur at the hem. She saw something like it while Mama and Daddy were watching an old movie called White Christmas. Because she thinks that it must be colder than in Texas, she is wearing white fur ear muffs trimmed with small red bows. She has somehow fashioned a garland of holly to run through the ear muffs. She looks in the mirror and thinks that she looks very Christmasy and that Rotley might approve. She has small white snow boots on - just in case.

   Willow is so anxious to see Ruggles and has decided on a gold velvet jumpsuit that has snowflake designs done in sequins. She has fastened a gold and silver bow and has secured it between her ears. On her feet are tiny little golden, beaded slippers.

   The girls have had Mama out scouring the stores for just the right gift for Rotley. They wanted a warm fleece robe in a deep blue, which they think will look so handsome against Rotley's black fur. And there are slippers to match that are lined with soft sheep fleece.

   The girls saw the tunnel that GD got for Milo and thought that Rotley would love to play in one, and maybe Ruggles would join in. So they ordered it and it arrived just in time to be gift wrapped.

   Because they always bring a pinata to birthday parties, the girls are bringing a Santa pinata filled with nip toys and Greenies.

   Mama has packed a basket for the girls to take that has freshly baked scones, gingerbread cookies, a cranberry bread, and fresh blackberry jelly. There is a huge thermos of hot chai tea and a lovely bottle of champagne along with a small tin of caviar.

   The girls take one look back at Mama to make sure that she thinks they look pretty. And off they go through the cat hole to Emma's house!

   Windi is standing in front of Emma's tree mesmerized and as if she is in a trance. Then she very carefully begins to remove all of the ornaments...

   Willow rushes over, lifts up Windi's ear muffs and warns her to stop or there will not be any cake for her and even worse, she will make Rotley upset!! Then, just for good measure, Willow gives her sister a swat on the ear.

   Uh oh, Miss Windi!!! :)

   Windi blushes and looks bewildered. "You mean, I'm not supposed to take off the ornaments and the lights? But Mama always gives me lots of attention when I do that and she seems to enjoy having the task of putting them all back on!" Her chin begins to quiver just a little bit......

   Windi realizes that she forgot to put on any perfume. She wanders into Emma's kitchen, locates the vanilla extract, and puts a healthy dab behind each pretty black ear.

   Bobby wanders after Windi and in his quiet, gentlemanly way pats her on the head and reassures her that taking off the ornaments and lights from the tree is really a fun game for Mommy who enjoys decorating the tree over and over!

   Windi beams at Bobby and asks him, "Would you like to see how I have learned to get a whole string of lights off of the tree?".

    Emma kisses the top of Windi's head, and compliments her on her lovely gown. She then shows darling Windi the tiny trees, favors for each guest, and tells Windi to pick out her own special little tree. Each kit will decorate his or her tree, and the ornaments for the tree favors are in baskets along the wall. The baskets hold lights, icicles, glittering ornaments, tiny furry mouse toys, and loads of greenie candy canes.

    Windi sighs with pure joy and starts looking through the baskets for the ornaments for HER tree. Emma hugs Willow and tells her how lovely she looks.

    Rotley kisses Windi, interrupting her search, and Willow turns as Ruggles slides down the bannister in his haste to get to her!

    Emma turns on the music, and "White Christmas" floats out over the heads of the lovely and handsome guests.

    She then goes into the kitchen, returning with two mugs of cocoa and some chocolate biscotti, offering them to Betty. The two smile and hug, and gaze at their darling kits.

    "Love the holly!"

    Bobby sees that Miss Windi got sidetracked decorating her very own tree and decides to patiently wait until she can show him her very special talent of taking lights off the tree. He can hardly wait!

    Willow watches Ruggles in amazement as he makes his decent down the stairs. But then she realizes with horror that all of Ruggles buttons seemed to have popped off with the force of small, flying projectiles. She rummages in her purse and finds some colored safety pins that she can use to repair Ruggles vest.

    Windi gazes at all of the baskets, turns and gives Emma a kiss. She has never seen so many beautiful ornaments. And to think that she can pick her own! She gently pats the icicles and thinks that they are so beautiful that she must put some on her tree. She finds two glittering kitty angels that she knows will be perfect. Windi thinks that Christmas is the most wonderful time ever!

    Windi tells Bobby that he should pick a string of lights for his tree. Too late she realizes that she does not know how to put the lights on the tree. She only knows how to remove them. She looks at Bobby and says "Well, putting on the lights is supposed to be a boys job!". She hopes that Bobby will fall for it....

    WWM gives Emma a hug and tells her that she must return home for a bit. Hopefully the girls will behave while she is gone!

It's her favorite thing at Christmas..... any tinsel from 3' down is fair game, and she's all over it! Is tinsel warm??!!!

    Ruggles, now safely pinned into his new tartan vest, kisses Willow and welcomes her!

    A knock at the door -- Thor strolls in, arms loaded with holly, ivy, smilax, and winterberries.

    "For the trees," he says, presenting them to Emma. She quickly distributes them in baskets next to all the other tree-trimming stuff.

    Thor looks around for BooBoo. He has a box behind his back, and we are sure it is a Christmas orchid for his "calico enchantress."

    Rotley stares at the pinata and the tunnels. His dignity is starting to fade, and he asks his mama to help him off with his jacket.

    Those wonderful tunnels!

    Bobby and Milo help hang the pinata, and the lovely golden Willow looks around for a stick!

    Abbs searches in her "treasure box" for a gift for Rutley... some of grandma's "bubble lights" ... he'll love those!

    Willow and Ruggles stare in awe at Cuddles outfit, while Windi takes a tiny nibble on the tinsel. Cuddles looks at Windi, hisses and looks indignant.

    ....after looking completely indifferent, Cuddles heads for the fountain... hoping Irish whiskey is being served..... Fred and Miu's wedding served that...maybe they have that here too!!LOL

    Tessie has lost so much weight that it is hard to find something to fit and she really needs to cover those bald patches. What was Meowmy thinking when she told Dr. Maggie to go ahead and give her this haircut? She decided on a lovely green one piece knit stetch lounging outfit. she could have never worn this in her heavier days and she fastened holly berries behind her ears in honor of the season. Molly put on her blue velvet dress with white faux fur trim around the hemline. So elegent. She accented with silver earrings and pin. So festive. Sophie went with a peach velvet dress with elegant lines and emerald earrings and necklace. They are all excited about going to a party. Meowmy doesn't always let them know what is going on. They have baked catnip cookies, and made salmon and shrimp treats to bring. For Rotley they have a new pillow that can be heated in the microwave and it holds the heat for a long time and a laser pointer. So much fun to chase the light.

    Rotley greets Tessie, Molly and Sophie as they make their grand entrance.

    "You look so lovely," compliments Rotley to all of the ladies.

    "It looks like a Christmas movie," smiles Ruggles, and he pours some nip champagne for Tessie.

    "Green really is your color!" and the birthday boy smiles at Tessie, and gazes at Sophie's emerald earrings.

    Milo dances toward Molly, and bows gracefully.

    Willow runs up to Tessie and tells her that she looks amazing! She shyly introduces Tessie, Molly and Sophie to her beloved Ruggles. She's just a bit jealous as she realizes that they know how very handsome he is.

    Windi is rushing around trying to help everyone trim their Christmas trees. She keeps glancing at Rotley and wondering when he will open his gifts. She decides to go over to the cake and cut the very first piece for Rotley. She carefully, carefully puts a tiny candle on Rotley's cake. Proudly, she carries it to him and tells him, "Blow out the candle and make a special wish. But you must keep your wish a secret or it won't come true!".

Anmdy loves his and wants to give his Uncle Rotley some fun too. Andy rushes over to Rotley and give him a big hug! "Uncle Rotley, you look great!""

    Willow, Windi, Ruggles, Rotley, Bobby, Milo, Tessie and Sophie watch in alarm as Bog bows over Cuddles. Cuddles seems to be undecided as to her next action - smack Bog on the head or gracefully accept his bow and kiss on her paw.

    The kitties hold their breath with collective silence......

    Windi frantically looks around for a tumbler of Irish whiskey.......
