Mom finally stopped being mad at me and let me sleep in the house again. I am very glad about that because it is cold outside. I don't mind it when I am prowling at night, but when I am trying to nap, I like a nice warm house.

Mom left the people baby bed in her bedroom for me to sleep in and I like that. I have been taking a bunch of naps in the people baby bed and on our new couch. We have been working hard to get our house fixed for Santa Claus. We have three trees we put in the house and now we have two of them ready for Santa Claus. Mom works very hard every night to get our house ready.

Last night she was working very hard and got tired. She told the big man she wanted to do something called take a break and sit on the couch. Mom and the big man fixed uppity drinks called club soda and sat down on the couch to watch TV. Mom and the big man never watch TV. I didn't even know the TV in the living room worked! Me and Mom listen to the TV in the bedroom in the mornings when she is getting ready to go to her new office and I am drinking out my big water bowl.

I was bored watching TV so I decided to go out early last night. The stupid dogs that live in the yard behind us were out running around and they were bothering me. They chased me to our porch and I just jumped up on the rail where they could not get me and called them names. They do not like for me to call them names because they are stupid dogs. They were all mad about me calling them names and they started barking and jumping. I was laughing at them because they were still stupid dogs.

I guess the stupid dogs barked so loud they bothered Mom because she came out the front door and started yelling at the stupid dogs and they got all nervous and started barking and running and I didn't know what was happening so I jumped off the rail so I could run in the house and when I did, I accidently jumped in front of one of the stupid dogs and he tried to get me. I had to bite and scratch and hiss at him and Mom got all worked up about me fighting with stupid dogs on our front porch. She yelled louder and the stupid dogs ran really fast to get away from her and I went in the house. The big man was laughing at me because I got in a fight with stupid dogs on our front porch. If I had not been so tired, I would have fought with him too.

I stayed in for a while and then went out prowling like I always do. Stupid dogs are not going to stop me from being a cat. This morning I came in to nap. I like our house when it is ready for Santa Claus. I want him to come now. I am waiting for him under one of our trees. I have been calling him and calling him to hurry up and come. I like Santa Claus. He is cool like me, I am a cool cat.
