Decorating this year has a new set of challenges. Little Puma Pink Pads, aka, Alfie, is still very much in the kitten stage of his life. He is one year old this month, and no longer has the boxy look of a kitten, but the more elongated look of a cat. But, his breed, a Tonkinese, is a very small breed of cat, and he is still well under five pounds. Smokey, on the other paw, weighs easily three times that. Alfie sees the world through eternally enormous, round sea-green eyes; taking in everything, forgetting nothing. He is fearless. He is a PUMA. Because of my travel plans, I have opted out of a live tree this year, and will use the artificial I've got stowed in the storage room.
