O Henry Does Plummer

O for orange. Henry for literature. It seemed like a natural name for this new cat. O Henry will not go to the animal shelter. Instead, he'll go to Plummer. O Henry will be a gift cat to the Laumatia triplets.

My niece, Laura, read this morning's post and said to hang on to that cat. O Henry came into the house tonight and aroused the ire of Festus and Lonesome. Didn't bother him, though. He rolled around on the carpet, grabbed a few bites of Meow Mix, jumped on the couch and made himself at home. He's outside now, wishing I'd come to the door and let him in, but two cats in the house during the night is enough.

Besides the cat give-away, much was accomplished today. The Christmas letter is complete. Several cards are ready to mail. Willie ate homemade meat loaf for the first time in several months. It was a good day. Tomorrow---cookie baking and Christmas shopping.
