Today we have some Vintage Cards, The Nutcracker Suite, and Singing Christmas Mice. My father saved a lot of holiday cards when he was a boy and here are just a few dated Christmas cards from the late teens and 1920’s. Following them is my old Nutcracker Suite music box. There are higher tech ones made now, but you can watch mine and see the Nutcracker in two minutes! Finally my Singing Christmas Mice sing a few songs. There is an infrared beam between the two big mice prompting them when to sing.

Scooby and the Vacuum Revisited / Squirrel
Several years back I posted these videos of Scooby and the vacuum. Since there are plenty of new people browsing around the Feline Cafe–no masks required, I have posted these today to once again illustrate that Scooby likes the vacuum. He is a real annoyance as you can see trying to vacuum as he won’t even get out of the way for it. He likes to play with the wand as well. So there you have it– video and audio proof! No, he is NOT deaf! No matter how quietly you try to open a tin of cat food, he can hear it and come running out of a dead sleep! As a bonus, today I add a video of my clockwork squirrel on the dining room table. He goes much faster if he is wound up tighter, but I am afraid to break the spring. If you do not have audio working, you can hear the squirrel chew his nuts. His eyes used to roll around but alas no more!
I add yet another photo below of Scooby from Jan 4 2020 where he predicts what the year will be like for us all.
Escape from Alcatraz (the Catio)
Escaping from the Catio is futile. Many have tried. None have succeeded! The wood panels are merely replaced with new ones. The Warden is ever watchful!

Scooby Video
This post is simply a Scooby Video. Scooby loves the vacuum cleaner. Here is more proof!
Scooby Spring Walkabout in the Garden (Video)
This post shows about 30 seconds of Scooby Spring Walkabout in the Garden on his lead. He was leash trained when I got him, and is my only cat who is. My newest theory is he was raised in a family with only dogs, and never saw a cat! For instance, when he eats off his food dish or plate, he always eats standing up, and not sitting on the floor like the other three. Anyway, here he is in still life and action!
