it's beginnin' to look a lot like...


IT'S BEGINNIN' TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS.  All the...


Hmmm...  LOOK like Christmas?  It's beginnin' to LOOK a lot like Christmas?


Nah, that's not right but I can fix it, for sure.



IT'S BEGINNIN' TO SMELL A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS.  All the...


"SEVILLE!  WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?  WHAT'S THAT DISGUSTING SMELL?"


I'm makin' Christmas candy, Peepers.  Wanna taste?


MOUSES!


"It doesn't smell like candy, Seville.  And I thought I told you not to use the stove."


Never, ever, EVER have you told me to not use the stove, Peepers.  What you have said is, you don't want me jumpin' up ONTO the stove, and I'm not, see?   I'm sittin' on this here stool, BESIDE the stove.  Beside, not on.  Beside and on are not the same thing, Peepers.  Did they not teach you anythin' useful in school?  I sure do hope you didn't pay a lot for that education of yours 'cause quite frankly, if you did, you got gypped.


MOUSES!


*Peepers sighs*  Then what are you making?  It stinks, Seville.  It really, REALLY stinks."


That's because your sense of smell isn't as refined as mine on account of my bein' a cat and you bein' a mere peep.  That, and the fact that you have rotten taste.


MOUSES!


Don't look at me like that, Peepers.  Don't you roll your eyes at me.  Like I said, I'm makin' candy.  I'm usin' a recipe I found in one of your cookbooks.  A recipe for fruit jellies.


"You are?  What did you do, then?  Did you burn the sugar?  Fruit jellies shouldn't stink like that."


Don't be ridiculous, Peepers.  Firstly, my cookin' doesn't stink.   And secondly, I'm not usin' sugar.  I'm a cat.  I don't like sugar!  I left out all the stupid stuff like sugar and fruit, and replaced 'em with GOOD things like catnip and chicken bones.  Sound good?


"NO...  It sounds gross, which shouldn't be a surprise, I suppose, as it SMELLS gross, too."


*Seville breaths in deeply*  AH....  Nope, I think it smells just right.  Wanna paw over that buttered dish?  I think my nippy chicken bone candy is about ready to pour.


"You're on your own here, Seville.  I'm getting out of your way before I pass out from the overwhelming stink."


Suit yourself, Peepers, but be sure to come back when I start my next lot of candy.  I'm gonna try your caramel recipe.  Lots of cream and butter, NO sugar - yuk! - and a couple cans of sardines.  It's gonna be scrumptious, for sure.


MOUSES!

  2. Be careful all the cats in the Porvince dont come to your house, Seville. That smell is going to surely attract them. MOUSES!

  4. That caramel recipe sounds yummy, though I'm not a fish fan, so I'll skip that if it's ok. Maybe you could try a dessert next week? Then, do a whole festive meal for, say, black and white cats in need (of stuffing) MOL Just think of the global audience you could get on the major prime time TV channels, including UMM TV (Upper Much-Mousing TV)
