The comments on this video are epic. I am one of the “never heard this before, thanks YT for the algorithm that brought this gift.”
And as long as we are in camp mode, here’s the campiest of holiday songs that I love:

Caturday: Proud Kitteh
He is so proud that he has learned to jump. He has practiced and practiced. Something most cats could just do, he’s had to work hard to perfect.
The cats spend time outside while I do chores on these chilly mornings. Then we all go inside for breakfast.
I keep an eye on him, I’m always worried about his spine. But I know he spends his nights working out his routines, LOL
To those who are new to Reggie’s world, he was born with Manx syndrome, unable to walk. His amazing foster mom got him up and mobile before he came to live with us. He hops like a bunny and his back legs work in unison. Learning to jump – he’s done it in increments over the last year and a half – takes a lot of skill and practice from him. And he is super proud of himself! As he should be.
Here’s some video of his gait:
Furry Friday: Holiday Cat
Every year, I have to debate on a tree or not. The year Trixie came it was absolutely no way there could be a tree (see here). Or the year I had both one year old Willow, and bull-in-a-China-shop Jasper, I managed to have a tree and it survived beautifully.
Last year, with Reggie being a rambunctious kitten, I opted out of a tree, actually most decorations. But this year, I really wanted a real tree. Every few years, I opt for a tabletop tree instead of my cute candlestick fake tree.
I decided, despite the challenges, I wanted one this year. Found a really nice one and crossed my fingers it would all work out.

And Christmas doesn’t start until I hear this one:
Monday Menu: Peppermint Bark
The peppermint bark before I broke it into serving pieces.
I used his Toffee recipe and he made it so easy, I now make it every year. Here’s his Peppermint bark. I used 70% dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips AND instead of candy canes, which I think the flavor is just so-so, I bought actual peppermints. I think they have a better, more authentic peppermint flavor.
I also like a thinner bark, so I used a 9×9 pan, per his instructions.
