Cat Thoughts on Christmas 2020

December 25, 2020 By: Summer Samba33 Comments

Summer shares some cat thoughts on Christmas 2020, and what is really important.

This Christmas, it’s hard not to dwell on everything that we are missing. Me too. I’m missing my therapy cat visits, especially the hospital visits. It really upsets me and my human that now, when patients need us the most, it’s impossible for us to see them. My human says the happiest she’s seen me since the pandemic started was when I joined her to vote. I got to brighten the days of some stressed out people, just like I do on a therapy cat visit.

I also miss the cat shows — meeting new friends and seeing old ones. I miss airports and impressing the TSA humans with my poise. I am hoping that at some point next year, I can go back to doing these things.

But maybe focusing on what we don’t have is missing out on the Christmas spirit, which is being grateful for what we do have. Because one thing we do have is each other. If you are here reading this, you originally came here from a community of cat lovers somewhere. And one thing about cat people — you may disagree about everything else, but as long as you are passionate about kitties, you are kindred spirits. Always remember that.

Where ever you are, know that you are not truly alone. And when this pandemic and its restrictions are finally over, maybe we will be even more glad for those closest to us, and our connections will be even sweeter than they were before. In fact, I know they will be.

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate the day, and happy holidays to the rest of you.

    What a sweet post! There are so many pluses for an anti-social kitteh such as myself. We don’t have strangers coming in to the condo anymore. The peeps won’t be visiting the family and leaving me alone. The list goes on. I’m sorry you’re missing out on the things you love. I do miss getting to go to Club C101 though.

    Merry Christmas! We are a day late…but then *she* was working yesterday…and yes it was still a special day there, cause all the staff made it so….for all the peeps we take care of, covid hassles or not.

    It sure does help to remind ourselves that Christmas is still just that…and we have much to be thankful for, no matter the circumstances.

    Sorry we have been rather AWOL of late…

    This is such a beautiful picture and message Summer. We treasure the friendships we’ve made along this tough journey this year, and the ones that have always stood beside us and kitty kind. We will always be kindred spirits through our kitties. We love you all and sure miss Binga and Boodie. Pictures and memories hold a special place in our heart. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Purrs and Love always…

    Beautiful sentiment and oh so true!! We are all missing so much this year, those we lost (both furry and 2 legged), things we can’t do, people we can’t see, but thank COD for Facetime and Zoom!! Sending lots of love and wishes for a blessed and safe Christmas! xoxo

    Merry Christmas to you and your human, Summer! It’s true, we have all lost so much this year, but I’m looking forward to a time when we can gather again. It’s going to be amazing, because we’ll never take being together in person for granted again.
