This may be a little late...but I'm just exploring the site and would like to add a perspective that is odd in my circles but might be common among the subscribers here. My college friends often send me pictures of their children in their holiday cards. Honestly? I appreciate them, look at the pictures and look for semblances to my friends...then throw them in the trash can. I don't know those children!!

Personally, I won't send a Christmas card piture of just my cat...Next year, I'm going to get a picture of my BEAUTIFUL cat...and ME! I want to see pictures of my friends...our dependent beings, two, four, six, or a hundred legs...will never be the joy of others like they are for us.

My brother is new to the cat world. Two furballs have recently charmed him. He signed his Christmas cards, and so did his two new feline roomies. He's retired Navy...it's so sweet to see the mushy cat-loving side of him!!
