Because I am an equal-opportunity torturer of my cats, I decided that this year, it was Alice's turn to go out and meet the big man. So I called my mother, slapped a temporary harness on my normally collar-free cat, and went haring off for a date with destiny...or at least, a date with the local pet store Santa who hadn't retired due to cat.
The proof is in the picture:
Alice was very well-behaved. She didn't claw, hiss, spit, bite, or try to get away, although she did sing opera to express her displeasure with the time spent in the carrier. (Much like Lilly, she calmed immediately once I got her out of the box and just held her.) This Santa was definitely happier about having a cat in his lap, and admired her at great length.
It occurs to me that last year, I took Lilly to see Santa, said jokingly that I hoped she hadn't wished for a pony, and wound up bringing home a Maine Coon.
I'm scared now.

I hope for your sake that I'm wrong.

I'm going to be in a lot more trouble for going to Seattle than I was for taking her to see Santa.

Thaaaaaaaank you.

P.S. Those lasers are fully charged and ready to fry you for subjecting her to this indignity! I had no idea that pet shops over there had Santas. I thought that we were overly soft on our pets in the UK with added anthropomorphism!
