. . . and attract attention he does . . . my Mother even puts down her new book to play with Rico & his new toy.

Let's open another present . . .

. . . what could it be?

. . . another c*t book! These should keep My Mother occupied for many hours, as she reads them over & over, and each reading is a new one for her.

This Holiday Season, I sent a copy of Cat Rules to My Mother's Sister in alifornia, and a copy of Cat Tales to Her Sister in Holland. This way, they will all think of each other as they read their books . . . not that My Mother will remember, but the thought will be there for Her Two Sisters.

And what better companion for reading your c*t book than a dog?!

All this excitement makes My Mother tired, so she takes a little nap . . .

. . . while Rico entertains himself as only HE knows how!

"WHAT A MESS! ALL HOUSEKEEPING!"

"Just don't tell 'em the dog did it.
or we won't be welcome back!"
