A CATachresis Christmas

Here at CATachresis we have been very busy getting ready for Christmas and to that end Austin and I have worked together as a team to bring you our Christmas card.  ♪Dadaaahhhh♪ .......  


Errr as you can see, it wasn't the smoothest of photo shoots!

Austin, if I could just ask you to ....
 ....look at the camera!

 ...not the wire please!

 Yes it smells lovely!

 that's a bauble thingy!

 Ahem!

 "Who's that outside?"

 Look! Martin's doing his bit!

Uh Uh!

*sigh*

"Really bored now!!!!"


Ok, here we go ....

I think this is the best we can do under the circumstances!
We would like to wish all our lovely friends and readers
A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS
and a peaceful and healthy New Year!

PS For those who have not seen it, here is the video we made for Christmas about three years ago, and as only about 2½ people saw it, it's probably worth another showing :)

    Austin we love you even if you don't pose. And so debonaire handsome in the video. Is that mouse at the top of the tree? Odin would topple the tree in one go. Happy Christmas!

    I remember that video :D
    Love the card :) That's always the way though, eh? The second we want our little bundles of joy to look into the camera, they do anything BUT that!
    Have a great day tomorrow! Remember, its Christmas, so chocolate for breakfast and leftovers for the next week and a half is perfectly fine :P

    Kitties only pose when it's convenient for them, I believe.

    Loved the video!
