Caturday Art & Advent Mitten 6

Advent Mitten 6 brings us "Dove of Hope" by Caroline Gordon.

A few years ago, I (Cloon's Human) participated in the letter-writing campaign for Amnesty International to mark International Human Rights Day, December 10th. 
Letter-writers in over 80 different countries participated around the world. 

"We are ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights.  Our purpose is to protect individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied." 

-Amnesty International

 "Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all." 

-Emily Dickinson

We are joining Athena, Cat Goddess in her Caturday Art Blog Hop.

Advent Mittens 4 & 5

Advent Mittens 4 and 5 bring us a Christmas lights tour by Mini-Cloon...

Here we are outside Headquarters...

And then we round the bend to the backyard where...

 

Clooney Claus's Deer have shown up on the scene to investigate the Christmas lights they have spotted from down the mountain...

Yep, they stopped by to say they will help ol' Clooney Claus out this year...

 

Catnip Mice will be delivered to all kitties naughty and nice!  Hooray!

 

Mini-Cloon then did some Christmas visiting and found himself hangin' around on this pretty tree above...

And then he went to take pictures of the Tree of Hope...

The Tree of Hope is lit every year in our community and is over 120 feet tall with 36,000 lights.  It donates funds each year to local charities and symbolizes generosity and compassion.

Advent Mitten 3

Advent Mitten 3 brings some special chocolate for human chocolate lovers, purrfect for hosting your own chocolate tasting event.  Although my Human would like to get her paws on it, this will be given as a Catmas gift.  

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY

ADVENT TUNNEL TUESDAY - ADVENT MITTEN 2

Well hello there felines!  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find?  There waiting for me was a fling-ama-string!  Can you believe it felines? 

Oh, I hit the motherlode with theese one!  I've been wanting this for years!   

Once my Human took this apparatus out of the box and let the string out, I was planning my strategy...

When the fling-ama-string was put on the door handle, secured, batteries added and turned on, firstly I observed it...

But then I got into the action and totally was occupied with getting the string...I had so much fun and LOVED the fling-ama-string! 

Neytiri not so much.  She observed it "wide-eyed" but mostly from the back of the room and did not want to approach it...

Me, though, I give the fling-ama-string a 4 PAWS UP rating...

Does any kitty out there have one of theese ones?

PS:  We had me and the fling-ama-string on video but then the memory card corrupted and we didn't have time to re-film it, so we will show you another time, my Human said I was very cute...

Advent Mitten 1

My Human came across "Father Christmas" this weekend when out and about at a Christmas market...
