:::heh heh heh::: :::LOL LOL LOL::: ahem.... well, they are sorta cute, if you are into cats AND are a red hatter! They look just like something my oldest sister would have since she is into the red hat thing, which I just cannot get my head around, no matter the age! I love the poem (thanks Karen!) and I work with seniors all day, so I get that some are into it, just not me!

But it was very nice of your SIL to think of you, and I am sure she mainly saw the cats and knew that you would like them. She maybe had no idea about the other meaning (purple and red).

I would agree with the majority that you should display them for a while, and then maybe something will happen to them... I mean, you DO have cats after all!
