Same to you, sweetheart.
I have a nice present for you, colorbook. There are some rogue cats that have been milling about my property for the last several weeks. I've captured the ringleader and have been torturing it out in the tool shed for the last couple of days, trying to find the location of their headquarters. Nothing. Merely weak "meows". He's a tough ol' boy.
So, about 15 minutes ago, as I was reaching for the electric cattle prod, a yuletide thought crossed my mind.
I said to myself, "Gus, wouldn't it be nice gift to colorbook, since she loves cats so dearly, to just let this old boy go in her honor?"
I took its tail out of the vice, unpried the nails which held the leather strap to its neck, and gently set him on the ground. Like a flash of lightning.... he was gone. Out the door and into the darkness.
Again, Merry Christmas, colorbook.
Your generous, kind personality is directly responsible for saving an alley cat from another week of torture.
