'Twas The Day Before Catmas Eve

"Twas the day before Catmas Eve and we were awaiting the arrival of The Deers to pull Clooney Claus's sled...

...and The Deers were nowhere to be found...

Neytiri had been up since the crack of dawn looking out on the backyard of Headquarters watching for The Deers to come up the side of the mountain...

Suddenly she called out to me in surprise...there was a message written in the snow:  

"Gone To Cabo" signed The Deers...

Oh, oh.  This does not bode well for ol' Clooney Claus and his deliveries this Catmas...We may just be using FedEx to ship catnip mousies to felines naughty and nice...

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY - ADVENT MITTEN 20

Well hello there felines!  Can you believe it?  It's me Cloon...finally here after being MIA for soooo long...

Anyhoo, I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find?  There waiting for me was Advent Mitten 20 and a sign that says "The Marmots"...

 

When we last left off, my theme park Clooneyland was set to open this summer on my B-Day in July and the Marmots, who are my staff and employees at Clooneyland, went on strike delaying the opening.  I had been very busy in negotiations this past 5 months and wanted to share with you how I spent most of my time...

I typically started out my day like this...

After watching out the window for minutes hours and hours each day...patiently and expectantly waiting for the arrival of Mini-Cloon the very seasoned and skilled arbitrator who was involved in strike negotiations with the Marmots to bring me good news...

I became very sleepy and spent most of my time in a face plant, dreamin' of Num-Nums developed the skills of a Zen Master, meditating and sending out positive vibes to the striking Marmots, hoping that they would achieve a peaceful and satisfactory resolution and that Clooneyland would be up and running for Catmas...

But alas, Secretary Neytiri advised me that a press release had been issued regarding the situation...

The Marmots had now gone into hibernation until Spring and the Clooneyland opening was delayed yet again...

And then, I had a brilliant idea!  Oh, theese one is a good one!  This just might bring the Marmots out of hibernation early...stay tuned Audience...

To Be Continued...

In the meantime, we will be bringing you some Catmas & Clooney Claus updates and please help yourself to our Holiday Card:

    

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY - ADVENT MITTEN 22

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the very late hours of the day...and what do I find?  There waiting for me was a bunch of peacock feathers!

 Can you believe it, felines?!  Neytiri wasted no time in giving them a good whiff...

 

 

Then I parked myself down and was quite taken by theese particular feathers...

 

 

Yep, theese ones are the real deal...they come from a peacock farm and they smell exactly like birdies...

Clooney Claus will be delivering the special peacock feathers to felines everywhere on Catmas Eve...

See you on Catmas Eve for a special post...

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY - ADVENT MITTEN 15

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the late hours of the day...and what do I find?  There waiting for me was Advent Mitten 15 and  a bag of marinated mousies!

 Can you believe it, felines?  I'm very excited about theese one!

I decided to get up-close-and-purrsonal to check out the mousies and saw that they were marinating in the very best ingredients evah...B.C. Buddy Herbal Blendz Mx!  

Oh, theese ones are going to be extra potent for Ol' Clooney Claus to deliver to felines both naughty and nice on Catmas Eve... 

 Wait just a minute...I think I spotted someone among the marinating mousies...Camerawoman, can you zoom in a little please?!

Yep, just as I suspected...Mini-Cloon is marinating himself in the good stuff!  This little guy has a little bit of an obsession with nip and the B.C. Buddy herbal blend...

I pulled him out of the marinade only to find him in a bit of an altered state...

I better lick all the marinade off him and test the product  purrform CPR on Mini-Cloon, this guy is an important part of my operations!  Wish me luck, folks!

  

Join us next TUESDAY felines for our last installment of Advent Tunnel Tuesday

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY - ADVENT MITTEN 8

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the late hours of the day...and what do I find?  There waiting for me was the Advent Mitten 8 and 
a big stash of Num-Nums!

 Can you believe it, felines?  I'm very excited about theese one!

Then Neytiri put the kibosh on my excitement by suggesting that the tunnel had produced theese Num-Nums to feed Clooney Claus's deers on Catmas Eve...
Say it ain't so, felines...

Maybe just maybe I could act as the "Quality Control Tester" to make sure theese Num-Nums are up to snuff for the deers...what do you think, felines?

Where's my Purrsonal Assistant when I need her?  Let's get this party started!

Join us next TUESDAY felines for the 3rd installment of Advent Tunnel Tuesday

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY - ADVENT MITTEN 1

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the late hours of the day...and what do I find?  There waiting for me was the Advent Mitten 1 and a sign about deers...  Hmm, what do you make about theese one?  And can you believe it's December 1st already and the start of the Advent Calendar Countdown to Christmas?

All of a sudden, I heard a rustle and there out my kitchen window was the deers!  This was the purrfect opportunity to seal the deal for Catmas Eve and get the deers to sign a contract to help Ol' Clooney Claus out...

Then Neytiri had a brilliant idea...She decided to entice the deer with promises of her infamous Martha Stewart baked goodies and her special Catnip Lattes...

Upon hearing this, the deers' ears perked and they became more interested in working on Catmas Eve...I even decided to sweeten the deal with throwing in some Num-Nums for good measure...

This little guy got really excited about the Num-Nums offer and came out of hiding!  Then something very cool happened...

We hope you are able to view the above video showing the 6 newest members of Clooney Claus's Catmas Eve team!  I can't believes my luck this year!  I will be able to visit more felines both naughty and nice with all the deerpower for sure...

Last year, we had so much fun counting down the days to Catmas with the Advent Mittens each day in December.  This year we will be featuring Advent surprises in the tunnel each Tuesday in December.  We also want to express our appreciation for you, our blogging furriends.  We have been behind in visiting and commenting this past while and we want you all to know that everyone and everykitty is always in our thoughts and hearts and we hope to catch up with everyone in the next few weeks. 

Join us next TUESDAY felines for the 2nd installment of Advent Tunnel Tuesday

Catmas Eve & Advent Mitten 24

And we made it to Advent Mitten 24...Whew!
It brings us a special Christmas Bear to be delivered to a special friend this Catmas Eve...

Neytiri got the bear ready in the shopping cart just in case those deers don't show up to pull the sled like last year...
As you can see, I am not impressed by the mere thought of this...

Then Ducky had an idea to turn on the Christmas lights to lure the deers up the mountain...

And by George Ducky, I think this worked!  I hear something...

Sure enough, Clooney Claus's Deers have arrived on the scene! 

After delivering the Christmas Bear, Clooney Claus will be on his way to deliver all the catnip mice to felines naughty and nice...

Well, I guess I better "suit-up"...
...and take a selfie!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY: ADVENT MITTEN 23 

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find?  

Neytiri had set up shop with a Cat Cafe!  Can you believe it, felines?

She is once again putting her Martha Stewart Baking Lessons to very good use and is about to brew some "Meow-Chow" Catnip Tea...

Any takers?  Looks like she is brewing it mighty strong...this girl does not mess around!

Now, what if we tell you that the "Catch Of The Day" is that special BC Sockeye Salmon from Advent Mitten 12 and Neytiri will be serving it up in fancy canapes...

Everyone is welcome to the Grand Opening of our Cat Cafe, doors open...

Santa Kitty Toy Hop & Advent Mitten 19

Advent Mitten 19 is a very special one...

It is hangin' out at our local SPCA and we are purrticipating in the Santa Kitty Toy Hop created by Summer's Human over at sparklecat.com...

Remember the mysterious Hello Kitty bags from Advent Mitten 16?  Well they weren't for Neytiri and me that's why we weren't able to investigate them...

The bag of toys and bag of Num-Nums were destined for other kitties...

All the special kitties at the Kelowna SPCA...

 The staff was very appreciative of our toy donations and took them right to the back to give to the volunteers and the kitties...

Only volunteers and potential adopters are allowed access to the cats so my Human was only able to view the cats from outside their rooms...

Here are the profiles of some of the sweeties in the room below that are awaiting forever homes...

Moonz and Alfredo are hangin' out together here, they both have such cool markings...

And the two panther kitties Rigley and Sebastian...

Here is another beautiful black panther awaiting adoption...

And an adorable baby tuxie!

Just under a year ago, a local person started a SPCA Thrift Store right across the street from the BCSPCA Adoption Centre...

It was an honor to purrticipate in the Santa Kitty Toy Hop...
