Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
With apologies to Teddy and Angel Sammy (Two Spoiled Cats), I am using Thoroughly Poetic Thursday to repost Kitties Blue letter to Santa Claws from 2018. Regardless, I recommend you visit their blog (by clicking on the poetry badge) to read Angel Sammy’s poem. I know it will be another winner, as the inspiration photo is adorable!
A Cat’s Letter to Santa Claws
Dear Santa,
Oh dearest Santa, I promise I’ve been good.
Always used my litter box and eaten all my food.
That broken lamp was a minor transgression.
I don’t think it required that time-out session.
And it wasn’t I who shred the arm of that chair.
Besides, isn’t that why they come as a pair?
The hairball on the human’s pillow didn’t come from me.
I don’t have floofy furs, as you can plainly see.
And all that litter spread throughout the house hither to yon…
It sprang right out of the box long after I had gone.
And you know that sandwich the human left on the table…
I swear it was stolen by a stray mouse named Mabel.
And the Christmas tree that suddenly toppled over…
Was not pushed by me but a marauding gopher.
I have no idea how these critters invaded my space.
I never leave the cat door open or out of place.
Oh. dearest Santa, I’ve truly never ever been naughty.
So please bring me some toys from Jackson Galaxy.
And a big bag of nip to last a whole year…
Please, oh please, oh please Santa dear.
And some nommy treats would be totally pawsome.
I’d eat every one and not leave a crumb.
For I, the cat, have been as good as a cat can be.
So please don’t pass me by this Christmas Eve.
If you’ll stop by my house once again this year,
I promise to leave cookies and a bit of good cheer beer.
And as to next year, I raise my right paw
And promise to be a good cat, oh dear Santa Claws.
Yours truly, The Cat
Thankful Thursday
Each Thursday we like to share with you the things for which we are thankful.
- I am particularly thankful this week to have my bout with COVID coming to an end. That Dad Tom did not get it truly is a blessing. He has been exposed at least six times, but has continued to remain uninfected!
- I am thankful that all 13 packages with Christmas gifts that needed to be mailed made it to the post office yesterday thanks to Dad Tom. With priority mail, most should make it to their destinations by Christmas.
- Kitties Blue and I are grateful for all the holiday cards we have received from our blogging friends. We will share them here after the holidays. We also will share Kitties Blue card on Christmas Day, for those of you who did not receive one via snail mail.
- Cooper Murphy is thankful to have the opportunity to earn twelve new merit badges at Scouts prior to Christmas. He has earned eight so far by learning about the animals represented on the badges and passing the accompanying quizzes. The ninth badge is for completing the December craft project.
Here’s a photo of his Christmas craft project.
- And, finally, Kitties Blue and I are most thankful for your support, following, comments and friendship.

We love your poem. Poor Raz was a slacker this week on those classes since Mom was so involved with her GAL kids.
We’re glad you are feeling better!

Love the poem and love all your thankful things. I’m most happy mom is on the mend and that dad Tom didn’t get sick.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥
Did Angel Sammy actually do all those things?! Or was it a make believe poem? Either way, we think it’s great!
It is a sweet Christmas letter; and I agree that all these things that you mentioned could NOT have been done by you. I thought about your Dad and catching the covid viris…so glad that at least he was unaffected. Happy that your Mom is doing better and is well.
That was a great poem and I am happy you are feeling better.
We could NOT be more thankful to have all Kitties Blue and Humans Blue as friends…..the miles don’t keep us apart as we are joined at the heart. We hope you have a perfect Christmas!
Love, Pam and Teddy
Well, you know that we are thankful for you, Kitties Blue! Have a lovely end of year and a really exciting new one!
