Festive Photo Frenzy - Day 6 - The Great Escape....

Today I didn't go to school.
Instead I went on a practical standardisation meeting.
In Covent Garden.
Which finished whilst it was still light, but but too late to get back to school before the end of the day.
Wasn't that a shame!!

Not surprisingly, there were a lot of very pretty Xmas Decs around, but I was looking for something a bit special ... and then I saw something that I actually thought I was dreaming - in the pic I was reviewing there seemed to be a cat on a man's shoulder...surely not, right??? A quick zoom in and ... omg... a cat in a Santa Suit.... I went to say hello, and I was utterly smitten.

Such a Beautiful Kitteh

This is a friendly Kitteh, he likes tickles.

He's also huge - and sits on his human's shoulder like a King!

'My thinks dis is my good side'!!

For me, nothing really beats this Kitteh & his human. They were in harmony. Which is particularly poignant when his full story comes to light. Human is homeless, working for the Big Issue. Kitteh is the official Big Issue Kitteh. I don't know whether they both sleep on the streets, but please don't feel that this cat is at risk - he is in beautiful condition, and obviously gets fed first. He obviously adores his human.

If kitteh-cat has melted your heart (and he has mine) spare a thought for those people who won't be getting 'just what they want' on the streets this this Christmas. There are many ways you can help - buy the magazine from this website or have a look at what these guys do - maybe you can help... 

There were a lot of other, very beautiful, very festive, things which ended up on my sd card. (Some can be seen below) But the kitteh, the human, their bond, and his little red sweater made me cry.... and no, Kaye, Frankie will NOT be following this fashion trend...unless you want to try and put a jumper on him....
