Miss mittens at candle light

This is kind of a Christmassy video:



Let's call it Mittens' first advent, advent two candles are burning. And they make the darkness much less gloomy. We were in Ikea the other day, buying a mat, when we found her a Christmas pressie. Truly. So I wrapped it up and left it in the middle of the mat (where else in our tiny flat). The first day I noticed a rip in the paper - like a kid shaking to see what it was, she did the kitty equvalent. Cute. What else? The day she ripped it a big more. I since gave it the litter bag treatment with some hardcore brown parcel tape. Her first Christmas.

I made her a bench on the front window ledge and she loves to sit on it and peer out the space left between the privacy frosty stickers.... one day she'll be out there.
