Carl, you are a very handsome cat and a good sport to wear the Santa hat so mom could take your picture. I like the picture of you trying to open the door - you may succeed some day! I have two kitties who like to go outdoors. They each have a 50' rope tied to their halter from the porch. They have plenty of rope to go exploring, and Grover has even caught a few mice in high grass near the house and Macy has caught chipmunks (I made her let them go). Maybe your mom would let you go out, Carl, if you can't roam too far. You are obviously much loved by your family, Carl, and I hope you have many more years together. You are a great COTD!
