A Christmas Caturday in the Library

I realized recently that it's been a while since I last doodled a true library scene. Books are one of my favorite things to draw, in addition to kitties and pups, of course. That being said, I simply can't help but doodle all things Christmas in December. That means that for today's doodle I not only scribbled up some semblance of a library, but I also tried to make it a cozy Christmas one.


We hope you all have a cozy Caturday! Perhaps consider finding yourself a good book and a kitty or two to curl up with. You won't regret it.

Tip of the Day

We're going to backtrack a little bit and give one more Christmas tree safety tip. If you want to have lights on your tree, but burns or electrocution are a concern with your furbaby around, or if you are concerned about electrical fires, then perhaps consider using battery-operated lights for your tree or elsewhere in the house. Some of the Christmas lights at our house are battery-operated. Our battery-operated lights even come with a remote control, with a timer option, making it easy to turn them on and off, all without the risks of electrical cords. Also, to save on the cost of batteries, we use rechargeable batteries.

That all being said, though, always base such decisions on your individual furbaby and his or her personal behaviors. The battery pack for the lights we use is very sturdy as well as well-hidden, and the kitties and pup at my house have never proven themselves chewers of such things. For this reason, my particular furbabies accessing the batteries is highly unlikely. Nevertheless, batteries can indeed be dangerous if chewed or consumed, so do keep this in mind when shopping around for anything that is battery-operated. But, if your furbaby is a cord chewer, or if you have any other concerns of the electrical nature, then perhaps look into battery-operated or other safe lighting options for your Christmas tree. Of course, still be careful of the dangers of any loose cords, whether they be attached to battery-operated or electrical lights.

Now THAT looks purrfect. A library with a cozy fire and kitties? We'd love to hang out there. :)

A Saturday in the library, one that is decorated, sounds perfect.

Oh your library is so cozy Mom wants to jump in your picture and curl up there with a book.

Mom says she has been lucky we all leave the tree alone as long as it's decorated and in the house. Apparently the elder cats tell the younger cats it's off limits. But oh what fun Socks, Whiskers and Squalling Baby had playing in the live Christmas tree when Daddy left it in the garage before disposing of it. They have an artificial one now.

Love the kitties all curled up in the library having such a good day. Nothing better than being in a nice quiet library. Have a great day.
