something for everyone
A lovely bright green package arrived at casa az yesterday that had something for everyone! It was from Karin (aka Dragonqueen), who sent us three locally made jams from Sweden (rhubarb, gooseberries and carrot with red currant) and a cute selection of cat toys. At first I thought the mice might be a “swallow hazzard” but what I didn’t expect was that Loki would go totally mental over them. Luna likes them too, but Loki can’t seem to get enough of his little purple mice (Karin’s signature colour).
So then I thought I’d try exchanging mice for string and suddenly the String Game took on a whole other dimension. And it looked eerily real when Loki trotted back down the stairs with a limp mouse in his mouth (well, real except that the mouse was purple).
Thanks so much Karin! Your gifts have really added some extra fun to the holiday season here. So now Peter and I can share the jams at breakfast and the kittehs can fight over their new toys. 
Actually I wasn’t bored. It’s always a delight to realise you’ve put up a video of the cats. Don’t tell Luna, but lovely as she is I do think Loki is the most gorgeous cat in the world!
Loki is truly one handsome dude. Luna definitely has more smarts than him but who needs to be clever when you’re all orange and stripy?
Mouse update: only one survives at this point. Found the other one tail-less, disembowelled and drowned in the water dish.
OMG he’s gorgeous. And that little trilling meow sounds JUST like Mr. Ferguson. I still say there was some sort of DNA transmission, by magic or something.
