Our New Brother.

Haha! Bet that title got you curious!

This great package arrived from our friend in Arizona, Kari and her cats. We didn't know it was coming so it was a lovely surprise. We got the book called Kitty Humbug's Christmas Tail just before Christmas, but Kitty Humbug managed to escape so had to come separately. He got held up in the post and didn't arrive until two days after Christmas. You can imagine how grumpy he felt being stuck in a parcel in a cold postal sorting office.

Anyway, the first thing he did when he arrived was to find the prime spot in front of the wood burner where he warmed his cold toes. After some milk and some ham he felt much happier.

He felt brave enough to go and say hello to Flynn who was very interested to hear of his travels.

It was a long story but Flynn never lost interest. He did make a mental note though to never spend Christmas in a sorting office. That sounded no fun at all, no tree, no ornaments to whap. No, no fun at all.

Flynn told him it was very nice to meet him and now he should go and introduce himself to Eric.

'Hmm, where did you come from?' asked Eric. 'You seem very nice, but this is my recliner. Don't get any ideas about taking it. I have enough trouble keeping mum out of it. You follow the rules and we will get along just fine.'

Kitty Humbug then went to meet the stuffies, Little Eric and Crystal. They seemed very happy to meet him and were more his size, so he decided to take his place between them. 'Yes', he thought, 'I'm going to like it here in my new home.'
