Busy Busy Holidays

Well, I had meant to show everyone what I got for Christmas this year, but on Christmas Day I kind of ate a lot and spent most of the day zonked out in my kitty bed. I was snug in my new hoodie too, so it was a really warm and cozy nap.
Aside from my wonderfully warm, and PINK!, hoodie, I also got a new stuffed mouse to play with, same kind as Denali’s though. I expect she’ll be trying to steal mine soon. I got a new pink and black bandanna as well. That was all from mommy. Grandma bought me a large case of my favorite canned cat food, they have greens and herbs in them, plus two new pots of cat grass. I also got this kitty-goodie bag that is filled with cat treats and little mice. The old man bought me a new kitty blanket for my bed, since it’s winter, and some of mommy’s friends got me gift cards for Petco. Denali looked at hers kind of funny, I don’t think she really realized just how awesome it was to get $25 and $50 to spend on anything in the store.

The day after Christmas, I caught a cold. Mommy and Grandma were really confused about how that could have happened, since I had my hoodie on all day, the heat was up, and I was inside all day. Then Denali just had to show them the window that was cracked open in the old man’s room. And she just had to do it after I had gotten out into the backyard too.
So yes, I was playing outside, and yes, I got sick because of it.
The winter is never a good season for me, I spend a lot of the time miserable and cold. So I should have known better than to go outside and play, but I couldn’t resist. The patches of still-green grass were calling to me. Not to mention the big pile of leaves in the backyard.
Unfortunately, my cold turned out to be just a little worse than normal, and mommy, in typical fashion, panicked and took me to see Dr. Calista. I tried to explain to both mommy and the vet that it was just a minor cold and everything would pass. But do humans listen to you? No. I ended up getting a shot and I had some icky medicine that mommy had to mix into my food.
Okay, I admit that I kept sneezing and wheezing a lot, and I felt very, very weak too. So the “cold” was a little worse than normal. But it was certainly not something they had to worry over. I’m just glad to be feeling better and running around again.

Poor Isis getting sick over the holidays! I know how you feel. Your pressies are awesome though. I still think it’s funny that your bandanna is the same I got my kitteh.
