    I wonder if Merlin and Hazel (delighted to meet both of them!!!) can watch BCN broadcasts, and if they enjoy Burt’s chyron commentary on their brother as much as I do.

    What a beautiful Thanksgiving greeting from Georgia to us. And what could be sweeter than two new cats added to the BCN clowder!

    Since they live in Providence, there’s a pretty good chance that’s Italian food that Hazel’s stealing.

    And is Merlin listening to “Cat Scratch Fever”? (Probably not really heavy metal.)

    Elvis and Merlin are dead ringers for each other. Merlin is very laid back and loves heavy metal ( is there any other kind? ) I love every panel…. Elvis’s sweet expression as he looks at pictures, the picture of all the cats holding their favorite toys, Hazel doesn’t look like Elvis and Merlin. I wonder if she’s a sister in name only. Happy Thanksgiving, every one!

    Aww, I wondered if we’d ever hear from Elvis’s littermates! Do they live together IRL? I remember Georgia mentioning that she knew who adopted Merlin, but don’t remember hearing anything about the sister.

    Hazel has different coloring from her brothers, is that normal in Siamese cats, is their coloring influenced by gender?

    My parents had a cat named Merlin. He was very close to my father. When my father died, he was so utterly miserable that my mother, and the RSPCA, decided he would be better in a completely new home and having a completely different life. The RSPCA found a new home for him, and later checked on him. They reported that this turned out to be good for him.

    Todd Rundgren: Hello It’s Me

    Hello, it’s “we”

    We are writing you from Providence, RI

    It’s been awhile but we thought we would write

    An see how you’re doing, if you’re doing alright

    And let you know we are thinking of you.

    …….

    How are you?

    How are the friends in the Pink House with you?

    We hear you have your own great news show

    And give the news all the cats want to know

    Sometimes we wonder if you are pleased!

    …….

    It’s important to see

    All of our family

    ’Cause we never want to fall out of touch with thee!

    …….

    Think of “We”

    We are so thankful to know you’re doing fine!

    Please keep on writing if you can find the time,

    Or if you want to share some music sublime

    And talk online if you think we could!

    I have been pretty good this year and all I want for Christmas is a copy of that picture Elvis sent to his Brother & Sister. If any of you are on good terms with Santa, would you put in a good word for me? I seem to have lost the Big-Guy’s email address. I would be happy to make a donation to the Elf Widow’s and Orphan’s Fund. Pay it forward, that’s my motto.

    It is a cute detail that Bea is holding a smart phone and looks surprised by an actual letter. There is very little that competes with receiving an actual letter in the mail from a friend or relative. The substantial nature of opening the envelope, holding the letter and seeing the person’s handwriting is a joy. The ethereal nature of an email will never measure up.

    Wow, more cats, Squeee!! At first I thought Hazel was flame-point, but she looks more diluted-calico-point, which I just made up :) I love her casual pants outfit and her dancing past the plate of food! Also, giant toe bean sightings!

    I forgot that Elvis had siblings! but, from his personality, i would have thoughy that Elvis was the 1st born, or doesn’t birth order (guess it might be hard to keep track) play a role in personality like it does in us humans?

    I see I’m not the only one who teared up over this. I tell my cats their origin stories (that’s not weird is it?) but I don’t think they believe there was any life prior to their CEO positions here.

    Whenever I see your smiling faces

    I have to smile myself

    Because I love you, yes, I do

    And when we exchange those sweet little pics

    It gives me such a kick

    There’s something about it, bro

    I don’t know

    Isn’t it amazing a cat like me

    Can feel this way

    Tell me how much longer

    ’Cause it grows stronger every day

    Oh, how much longer?

    I know we’ll stay in touch thru all the days

    With pics & letters we’ll always find a way

    Because I feel like I never left you

    So be sure that I won’t forget you

    And I thank our Cat above

    That we’re engulfed in so much love

    Happily ever after in our “gotcha” abodes

    With warmth and care by the Puckloads

    Isn’t it amazing a cat like me

    Can feel this way

    Tell me how much longer

    It could grow stronger every day

    No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today, whenever you send your smiles to me

    No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today

    Whenever you send your smiling faces my way

    No one can tell me that I’m doing it wrong today

    No one can tell me that I’m not loved today

    Today is:

    Go For a Ride Day: “Get your motor runnin,‘/ Get out on the highway,/ Lookin’ for adventure/ or whatever comes our way! …” Born To Be Wild Steppenwolf, inspired by the song “Born To Be Feline,” by the Alley Cat Chorus and Glee Club.

    Whether your motor is mechanical or biological.

    Humane Society Anniversary Day: While concern for the “lower animals” can be, and is, taken to absurd extremes, there is no higher form of humanity than respect and compassion for other species.

    Mother Goose Parade Day: Around here, that’s every day in the spring, winter, fall, and summer: Canadian/Canadien geese parading across and along any road or street, anywhere. They are protected, so nobody can do anything about them—and they no longer migrate, they are here year round. Nobody is in charge of cleaning up after their parades, either. Maybe we should require them to apply for citizenship. Once they start voting, all the politicians will get goosed.

    National Cranberry Relish Day: I’ve never heard it referred to as “relish,” but I relish cranberries in all their forms, including Cranberry Space Goo. After all, I have a sweatshirt that proclaims me a “Craniverous Salsaraptor,” after my appetite for all things cranberry and geothermal salsa. Pass the roast goose …

    Start Your Own Country Day: I propose that all supporters and commenters on BCN establish the sovereign state of Bigpinkhouse. All in favor, so signify by saying MEOW! with great dignity …

    it could come in handy to have a cat who steals food effectively in our house, for one it would mean that the inevitable turkey leftovers would be gone much quicker.

    I love seeing Elvis’s siblings and how happy all they are. I think about our panther boy’s siblings. All three were adopted a month before him. I’m sure they are in happy homes. The people who run his shelter were delighted to have adopted out so many black cats, but were concerned about him getting a home because he was more timid than they. When hubby picked him up, he started purring up a storm and that was it, he’s been daddy’s boy ever since. <3
