How about bringing pets to the gathering, too? Since our imagination is involved, we can assume they will all get along and not cause problems....

Here's our meeting place: Christmas Gathering Place!

Oh, Sir likes that idea. He doesn’t like being left home alone anymore. But he’ll take a shelve on the wall from where he can hear and smell the going ons. A dish of catnip treats and liver flavored water would do him fine.

Abbycat would love to come. She requires to be within sight of a scratching post at all times so we'll provide those. She prefers a nice soft cozy place like a bed or recliner to hang out. She also likes to have plenty of treats handy.

Sir would be happy to share his catnip treats for a scratch or two on the posts to Alleviate his stress. He’s laid back but having lost his sight he’s a bit nervous about being trod on. Hence the shelf. Other animals he trusts but he’s very aware us humans are clumsy.

And let's bring ornaments that we can decribe.

Where I live is a great place to get a Christmas tree! North Carolina sends Christmas tree to White House, and will provide 2024’s tree, too
Great idea

I think so, too. I went to the mountain area of NC to get our tree.

Nammu, those ornaments are beautiful!

We've also had food at our past parties. I'll bring a big ham and a bunch of biscuits and my wonderful deviled eggs. What else can we have?

Hazel is excited to come to the gathering. She is sure everyone wants to be her friend.

Except for Miette the kitties are going to stay home. They don't care for adventures. On the other hand, Miette is always ready for and adventure.

I have this really good spread I make that I'll bring. The base is cream cheese and sugar. The top is fresh cranberries chopped with just a bit of jalapeńo pepper.

Sir would love to have friends but wants them not to be too enthusiastic around him. Hazel will have to settle for a Pat on the nose but Miette can share the treats.

Need to bring out the bones for the dogs.

No worries about Hazel around Sir. Sean trained her to be afraid of cats.

Oh Sir doesn’t mind dogs at all. It’s the jumping and frisky ness he has issues with. Oddly though I’ve never had a dog with him he was fine with all the dogs he met. He’s just old and prefers sedat friends now. Those that will just come over and touch noses. It’s the humans he has the issues with.

I'll bring some pet treats. Pupperoni for the pooches. Raven loves them. And my cat, Caroline, is addicted to Temptations cat treats. Dare she share them with other kitties? She likes the seafood versions, but I can bring some chicken ones. But other kitties could become addicted, too, if we don't watch out.

Abbycat is sensitive to wheat so she can't eat temptations. She'll bring plenty of her hoity-toity treats to share though. And I realized that a year ago she kept throwing her favorite toys (fluffy balls) into her kitty litter. I kept throwing them away so I ordered a bag of 100. She of course then stopped. So we'll have shiny fluff balls for all the kitties.

lol Sir is also addicted to temptations. He doesn’t eat as many as he once did and will gladly share his.

Of course we will offer massages to all the animals to keep them relaxed
