Decoration of the Day - Day 5

Hallmark Kitten

Growing up, the Hallmark ornaments were one of those things that just "weren't done" by H's family.  She used to hear about the Star Trek Hallmark ornaments released each year and really just assumed they weren't ever released in Australia.  Imagine her surprise when they did exist.

Since the founding of Chez Stutters, the Hallmark decorations have been a source of much interest each year.  And last year, we bought the Hallmark Kitty.

Kitty is lying on her back, batting at a feather above her.  She is oh-so-cute, and H says so pretty much each time she notices the decoration.

In their heart of hearts, both H and S want to have a cat.  Chez Stutters had, for a while, a share in next door's mostly stray cat, but Bella/mini-Tara disappeared mid year, and I don't want to think about where she went.  (She was mini-Tara because she looked exactly like a friend's cat Tara.  To the point that we'd decided that Tara had stowed away in the TARDIS and gone back in time.)  Until we get our own kitty, we have a Hallmark one on our Christmas Tree.  The plus side is this kitty won't climb the Christmas tree.
